As I see it, the only form or type government that would have prevented this would be a theocracy of camel shagging, woman degrading, desert rat Mohammedans.

Terrorism has affected the US, UK, Spain, island nations of the mid and far east and even RW's France. So, I want to know how this would have been stopped.

I know you do, but all you'll end up doing is responding to an inflammatory statement. It's not really going to end up being a discussion. I say this for the same reasons you told me in the altruism thread.

Why let yourself get roped into it? Go ahead, have at it if you want. I responded to QJ's nice thread, and I'm done.

By the way, we have people that fit the first category you mention. they're called Mormons.

Same here... I didn't make the inflammatory accusation. Ambushing this thread with that shotgun statement was really unnecessary.

Mormons!? I do or did software development for companies in Utah. I've been in SLC, Park City (Loki Group), Provo(Axent), American Fork(Symantec) and Spanish Fork(ProvN) on many occasions. Women there are part of the work force and they do not run about in burlap sacks. They (the members of the LDS) are, on a whole, generally good prople and very family oriented. I don't agree with their piety nor believe in it; however, they have never tried in anyway to force their beliefs on me. They even buy me coffee when I'm there!; albeit, I will admit, I have yet to get one to buy me a beer.

Re: I Will Never Forget

Thanks Vax, Gort, mailotron, Keithie and Rick and Roll for sharing your words with me.

If there is another post in the forums where I can express my position regarding political and religious views let me know. I would enjoy a good discussion with my peers.

Re: I Will Never Forget

I was painting the Interior of a Homeowner. The Day before as I walked into their garage I jumped out of my shoes seeing a 5 ft Iguana standing in Front of me. I shut the Doors and called the Cops. The One that came couldn't find it anywhere and was giving me a suspectful eye. But Yes, there it was. 6 Ft up on a curtain...it was Freaky. The next Day The world cried with me as I sat in That persons kitchen aghast. Bless the Fireman 349 strong, the Cops and Port Authority Police that Ran to the Danger at the expense of their lives....Bless the Victims, their families....and Now Our Soldiers that Have Fallen since.
