Loyal is to the country I serve, and you would be righht in thinking yes I am military

Indonesia another waste land full of terrorists, and after the bali bombings why anyone with half a braincell would support that rats nest god only knows.

Now note the God part it has an o in it not G-D, what does that tell you

Re: Thoughts on Obama

Re Sullivan article on Obama: PartiaL;

"At its best, the Obama candidacy is about ending a war—not so much the war in Iraq, which now has a mo*mentum that will propel the occupation into the next decade—but the war within America that has prevailed since Vietnam and that shows dangerous signs of intensifying, a nonviolent civil war that has crippled America at the very time the world needs it most. It is a war about war—and about culture and about religion and about race. And in that war, Obama—and Obama alone—offers the possibility of a truce".

The game of politics resembles the process of making soup; "The scum always rises to the top and has to be skimmed off" I would think doing so in this case would leave Obama "alone" still in ther pot !

Probably a 55-year old beer-gutter living on welfare because he is too lazy to work.

They're getting educations, after a fashion.

But you can't teach common sense.

Fairly well educated idiots come out of the American school system just like fairly well educated idiots come out of the Canadian (French, German, Syrian, Jordanian, Russian, etc...etc...etc...) school system.
As you ought to expect that I disagree. There are a number of major shortcomings in the American system and to a lesser extent the Canadian system. With the exception of private schools and the top universities, the education system in America pitiful. The Canadian system is better and other countries have a better education system then Canada. North American schools don't challenge their students enough and society does not place a high enough value on education.

It is easy to blame the student but the truth is that the priorities of the education system are wrong. In the past information was difficult to obtain and transfer. Now information is easy to come by. People readily have access to more information then they could possibly need. What they need are the tools to be able to use the information correctly. You say that common sense cannot be taught. I disagree with this. Common sense can be taught as is evident that parents often pass common sense on to their children. Common sense is just difficult to teach and it takes time. In a similar fashion critical thinking and creative thinking can be taught. These are the higher-level extensions of common sense and are what is severely limited in today’s schools.

For some reason the education system focuses on repeating a process many times until the process can be done with a high probability. There is little discussion of why the process is the way it is even less discussion on what happens if you change the framework a little. When people are tested they are generally tested on whether a solution is correct or not. It does not matter how they came up with the solution. The education system does not reward those who can apply their knowledge to a problem they have never seen before. It does not matter if a student can see limitations in the process or natural extensions of the ideas.

Whether in the real world or in academia, creativity and critical thinking skills are valuable. People who can look at a problem and see understand what is happening and after some though find a solution to the problem provide significant value to a company. Having a population that understands the implications of what a politician is saying is able to make better voting choices, leading to better decisions. Those who have the ability to think creatively and analytical abilities to match will be the ones who end up making discoveries and innovations.

Those who complain about the education system complain about trivial things. The major complaint is that the education system is too liberal and as such various attacks are made towards the institutions and those who conduct leading research and advanced education. These criticisms are usually baseless and come with costs. As the atmosphere plays a vital role in the decision for professors to come to a particular university, if they feel as though they will be underappreciated they may choose to go to a country where they are appreciated. America faces a significant risk of having top institutions quickly fall in ranking and as such will loose the benefits associated with the advanced research that goes on at these top institutions.

People play politics with the public system too. People devote too much effort towards whining and complaining because they don’t like what is being taught. Children should have their beliefs challenged. They should be open to different perspectives on an issue. People who believe that politics have not place in the classroom are wrong. Political issues are strongly intertwined with history, economics, sociology, and philosophy. They come into play when discussing issues in science and health. Avoiding them leaves a gapping hole in ones education.

Oh harsh we are not jehovah witnesses

Well its a matter of people not living in the real world, there has been over 9000 islamic terror attacks since 9/11.

I think people forget about what goes on outside their little box they lock themselves up in, people in this world are dying because of others turning a blind eye.

Its all well and good to play the liberal and love every one, but when you are scarping up the remains of what left of your family then I will ask you, How much these people are harmless.

As I said before I will not spit on the bodies of the soldiers that have given their lives, to give you lot the freedom you so enjoy.

What would they matter at all, they are only your country people, they are not worth as much as Mostafa you play tennis with.

Afterall a good tennis partner is sooo hard to find

I'm not that old but I do remember when the Soviet Union was still around and that was a much more dangerous time.

I wonder what the exact odds of me dying in a terrorist attack are compared to dying in a car wreck?

What with the cold war?

But a lot of information was shared then too between the two countries.

Russia never attacked the USA.

Muslims have.
