2/27    Do muslim countries allow birth control?  Turkey most likely does, but
        what about Saudi Arabia or Kuwait?
        \_ what, you on drugs? They need all the population they can get to
           fight the evil god-less capitalistic pigs. Go alalalalalalah!
                                                      \_ Wow.  I laughed out
                                                         loud when I read
                                                         this.  Thanks.
        \_ I read that just over 50% of Palestinians are under 15 yrs old.
        \_ I read that just over 90% of Palestinians are under 15 yrs old.
           \_ birthrates in the middle east are really really high,
              i think it's closer to 48 percent of all Palestinians
                 clear: 50% of Palestinians are under 15 yrs old.
              are under 15.
           \_ and what percentage of Americans? The rest of the world?
              Statics like that are meaningless without some reference.
              \_ It's not meaningless at all, the meaning is perfectly
                 clear: 90% of Palestinians are under 15 yrs old.
                 \_ It has no context and therefore has no value and thus no
                    meaning.  Did you know that in Sweden roughly 50% of all
                    people who are the children of two natives are female?
                    Pretty shocking about those Swedes, huh?
           \_ just think of all that bombfodder.
           \_ Not even close:
              link:csua.org/u/a1c
              Where did you read this? The same place you read that 90%
              of all reporters are Democrats?
              \_ Except the latter is true.  Go find it yourself or come up
                 with a counter number.  The motd is not the place to seek an
                 education.  You have to provide that yourself.
        \_ Oh, how clever!  Someone switched it from 50% to 90%...

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

        \_ Isn't this what Obama said he'd do?
           \_ No, but why let facts get in the way.
           \_ Obama or Osama? Are we really supposed to belive that Obama said

8/13    Wow, how does the kool-aid taste?

         "My point is that a President Obama will have a good, strong
        dialogue-oriented relationship with Russia, where these kinds of
        situations would not occur."
        \_ Red-flavor or blue-flavor?

6/5     Rezko convicted of 16 counts of corruption
        http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/06/04/obama-saddened-by-rezko-verdict        Obama: "This isn't the Tony Rezko I knew."  Now was Wright the pastor
        "he knew"  Who does this guy know?
         \_ Ahh, smell the desperation.  Is this really the best you have
            right now?

2/8     American Woman in Saudi Arabia receives reality check
        http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,329605,00.html
        \_ some things to notice:
           1) this is from fox news.  What do you think their angle is?
              \_ Your fox paranoia is amusing. It's not the only outlet
                 reporting it.

1/14    Saudi Arabia to buy $20B weapons package (including JDAM kits) and to
        re-invest in CitiGroup.  Israel had objected to JDAM sales, but backed
        off after $30B grants secured into next decade.  USA USA USA!!!
