Nobody said we all have to agree with each other. Think about how boring this place would be if we all just agreed.
go search all my posts...i've never engaged in name calling just for the heck of it...i've asked everybody to stick to the issues and stop the name calling when they initiate it, but when they don't, i respond in kind
whatever happened to not responding to me, huh you liar? you're an idiot for many reasons...one is because you think the shah brought stability to the region when he couldn't even stabilize his own country...lol now run along and go work at your three jobs to feed your three kids or whatever...i guess being a stocker at kroger makes you an expert on these issues
I think that's a pretty narrow view of what 'modernity' is. Bringing the country into the 20th century with infrastructure, education, and technology is certainly part of 'modernity,' as is bringing women into the forefront of the political and social spheres.
Enjoy the minor leagues, junior. I think you'll be there awhile with your rapier wit consisting of 'uh uh, i did not say that' (when the post clearly shows you did) and 'he did it first,' lol.
I am going to have to come to Hayes' defense, Call him bitter, but lay off that old man stuff. I think it is highly inappropriate to discriminate or sterotype on the basis of age. It fact in some cases it can be illegal under state and federal statutes. That does it. If this bbs does not shape up, I am going to have to hold my breath till I receive an apology from at least 5 posters. Barring that, I am not going to post until at least tommorrow or until my lungs stop hurting. You have been warned!!!
Oh I don't consider it a negative that we may disagree more often than agree. Just explaining that the basis for my growing respect for your opinion is based on something other than similar opinions.
That's cool tiger. And I'll try to keep an open mind about your ... selective threads. (fwiw, I do appreciate your news clippings)
Oh, I will admit that I am highly selective, since my primary interest is international relations, and the Middle East region in particular. Judging by the threads I like to start, I am probably anti-Russia, anti-Egypt, anti-Saudi, anti-Turkey, anti-Venezuela, anti-Mexico, and anti-Israel.
