what's so funny about the pope being a lefty? I admit that I really don't pay attention to what the pope does. I may have been baptised a catholic, but I'm no longer a catholic (unless I have a girlfriend who is catholic ). I really don't know **** about the pope, and usually ignore him when he speaks. The catholic religion disgusts me.

Considering the Pope is probably the biggest religious conservative in the world... well I @ you Diss.

Perhaps you should learn more about someone before making silly stereotypes.

cyclotron: What you have to understand about Saddam is that his primary want in life was to be the boss. It wasn't to make people suffer. The Iraqi people's lives weren't so bad before the first Gulf War. It was sanctions and bombing that killed 500,000 Iraqis. Nobody is saying Saddam wasn't oppressive. He certainly had a campaign of ethnic cleansing going on. My point about his self-serving interests was to show that he wasn't a fanatic willing to die for his beliefs like OBL. Self-preservation was his number one priority.

It's important to understand how your enemy thinks. And so many people don't.

just because you are religious doesn't make you a conservative.

take a look at how the church is funded and organized. And they do seem to care more about poor people than most conservatives, wouldn't you agree?

Nobody ever said being religious means you are conservative. My position is that religion or somebody's religiousness has little or no bearing on their political beliefs.

Actually you think what you are saying.

Saddam has killed 2,000,000 in his twenty+ years in power...

You are really getting on my nerves along with Tassadar.

Fez, are you seriously claiming that because of Hussein there were as many deaths in 1979-2003 as because of Stalin in 1924-1952?

Try avoid saying "Saddam killed", that would mean that he directly and personally executed them.

I just think you need to chill Fezzy Wezzy. Sometimes, somebody will make a comment with no ill will, and you take it the wrong way. You've got to give people the benefit of the doubt. I mean, if you get mad at every little turd who says something bad about you, you're going to lead an unhappy life. Have you ever played "Counter-Strike"? You've got to learn to let things bounce off of you. I sometimes let people get to me, but that's no fun and I've learned to not do it as much. Let's just all have fun here.

I LOVE YOU GUYS

Then so was Patton... who used rush tactics against Rommel himself. They both used rush tactics.. your point?
