    Greetings ye 'jamanoids...

    Here's an idea. Why not take the political discussions to *private email*,
    where they belong, instead of posting them here where they're bound to
    start flame wars?

    I've seen several longtime list members responding to the latest
    "terrorist, WTC, etc." threads. You should know better by now :)

    Think before you hit the Send button, folks.

    cheers,
    Phil

    I want to remind people of something.. If it had not been for
    U.S. involvement in W.W.II, most of you WHITE people would be
    speaking German. And for those other than whites, care make
    guesses regarding your future?

    If the Taliban and other Islamic extremists had the technology,
    (They certainly have the will) The entire USA would be a vast
    wasteland. How do you think that would affect the world economy?
    And do you really think they would stop with the USA? The USA
    has the ability to vaporize the entire Middle East, yet thus far we've
    elected not to use such extreme measures. Who are the real tyrants
    here?

    Our Government certainly isn't perfect, but it sure has saved a
    lot of your asses. And more than likely will continue to do so.

    Pick a God and pray to him!

    Phil, that is the best piece of advice I've seen all day.

    While I can not recall that joke I sent to the Jam, I do regret sending it. Apologies to anyone offended by it.

    Such rash generalizations about groups of people will lead to great mistakes later. Americans are not blind.

    God has been used as a scapegoat for many things. However, I assure you God had nothing to do with it. Opportunistic people will use whatever is at their disposal to convince, brainwash, and encourage other people to things they want done.

    There'se no need to, I never critisized it. I was just saying that the international response would have been A LOT different if it had been a different country.

    Thanks for the history lesson and the touching display of nationalism but this doesn't mean that the death of an American is any worse than the death of anyone somewhere else in the world.

    In Yougoslavia GENOCIDE took place. I would call that bigger that grapes OR watermellons.Does it matter that 6,000 innocent people are murdered in a half hour or in one month or even a year? I don't think so. And think about your statement "losing billion dollar monuments" while keeping in mind that in America there is more then enough money two build new "monuments" while in other countries people are starving.

    I remember video footage of other Afganis asking for an UN or even a NATO army in their country, several years ago, to restore order and protect them from the Taliban. Don't generalise. I don't think the Afghan fugatives in Pakistan where cheering in the streets, the day of the attack.

    Well, that's stretching the analogy a bit. I'm not aware of any modern Police Program where mass murder is part of the training. But rumor has it that some include torture techniques...

    If a Police training program did intentionally teach mass murder of innocent people, they certainly would be an accessory to the crime. But the murderer himself is still the primary guilty party. Are you going to just let the murderer continue his murder spree, and excuse him because he received some kind of "training"?

    While it's quite possible for someone with Military Training to become a murderer, it's just as likely that someone without training will do it. There is no proven cause and effect. Even if there was a slightly higher probability of an ex-military person being a murderer, who's to say that it's caused by the training? Maybe psychos are just more likely to join the military in the first place. (No offense intended to military personel or assorted psychos). ;o)

    Personally, I have no problems with ANY discussions here, I just find the rationale for throwing previous threads concerning sticking to DT and/or musical related topics out the window particularly humorous, especially considering the non-humorours subject of the recent tragedy the catalyst for MANY conversations, and understandably so.

    Anyhow, to break some momentum here, check out some of my song samples from my new CD I am (was?) trying to promote over the course of the last few months.

    TRIBUTE TO THE UNITED STATES This, from a Canadian Newspaper, is worth sharing. America: The Good Neighbor. Widespread but only partial news coverage was given recently to a remarkable editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television Commentator. What follows is the full text of his trenchant remarks as printed in the Congressional Record:

    "This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the earth. Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were lifted out of the debris of war by the AMericans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States. When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it. When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United States that hurries in to help. This spring, 59 American communities were flattened by tornadoes. Nobody helped. The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped billions of dollars into discouraged countries. Now newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent, warmongering Americans. I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplane. Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC-10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all the international lines except Russia fly American Planes? Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman on the moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy, and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy, and you find men on the moon -not once, but several times - and safely home again. You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everybody to look at. Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets, and most of them, unless they are breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from ma and pa at home to spend here. When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them and old caboose. Both are still broke. I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake. Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them get kicked around. They will come oout of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not one of those. Stand proud, America! Wear it proudly!!"

    and... >Terrible stuff like this, and worse, is happening every day and has been >happening for decades if not centuries all over the world.

    So it is common for other countries to lose billion dollar monuments, and hundreds of billions more in the economy, lost companies and the like. Not to mention 6,000 innocent people murdered. Not likely. You are comparing grapes to watermelons.

    This message reminds me of some video footage of Afghanis celebrating the day of the attacks, passing out M&Ms to the kids, meanwhile there is a Pepsi machine clear as day in the background. Now who are the hypocrites?
