I'm not so sure, Earl. Those holes are pretty widely spaced. I think splitting the bullet might be a viable option, given this new evidence.
I have turned off the e-mail notification in my user options, but I still get them! It's really annoying, how do I make it stop? Thanks!
Currently, I'd have to go with "how to wear the sword in the obi". Would that be through the first or second layer? Fascinating stuff. The whole "x crossing" thing kept me up for hours. Coming in...
Thirty replies? Jeez, ya'll must be really bored. Hey, don't get all in a huff, I'm obviously bored out of my skull to be bringing it up to thirty-one. Anyway, I can't see the difference between...
Yes, I am well aware of all that. However, responsibility for the beheading of Mr. Berg was claimed by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who IS known to be connected with al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.
Hey, that's not at all what you said to begin with! You didn't say "Koryu as they are practiced today aren't battlefield arts because their exponents will never use them in a battle", you said "They...
Took me about 15 seconds to find this in the archives--as you will see, the subject has indeed been "done to death":

I'm sorry, no, the bad guys are really pissed, and so escalation in violence against Americans is to be expected. It has nothing to do with justification. It has to do with how the world works. ...
As for the questions: Do you think we don't already know "who we're dealing with"? They freakin' destroyed the World Trade Center! The fact that they're willing to execute an American civilian is a...
God, I hate it when folks start using the word "coward". I think if there's one thing we can say about our Middle-Eastern terrorist pals, it's that they're not cowards. Fanatics? Yes. Hate...
Chris--I sent a PM.
Well, I think Gene is right about the towel heads and camel jockeys with bombs in their crotch. I am having a hard time figuring out how all those people share one crotch, but other than that I...
To push the analogy a bit further, would you call what special forces do "civil defense"? Of course not. They're military, plain and simple. No doubt the vast majority of an army was made up of...
There's a great quote which I thought was in Amdur's "Dueling with O'sensei", but I can't find it. It's something about the atmosphere in the dojo. It was along the lines of "the rough jokes and...
Mr Boyd, I haven't seen a response to the following:
Not to mention Lord knows how many others that were founded well before the battle of Sekigahara.
Are you saying there are no koryu...
Wow, the knowledge and erudition displayed by some of the folks here is really impressive, don't you think?
I don't understand what the Hitler quote has to do with anything. I wasn't saying that people are more likely to believe a big lie, I was saying that people will believe anything if it's repeated...
Democrats who left the party, often Jewish, were PART of the neo-conservative movement. This was not something that happened only "in the 60's and 70's", it's still happening today (i.e. Christopher...
Why would I use the term neo-con if I didn't know what it meant? There's nothing ambiguous about it. What does that have to do with anything? Unless you mean that because the neo-conservative...
From now on I'm going to argue like a hardline neo-con; very loudly. It's way easier than being rational and reasonable, and it's fun, too!
Russ, I love your style! Earlier you replied to a post about how complex the issues are by saying "ask all those dead Jews", and I thought as far as withering and irrefutable comebacks go THAT was...
Really, Mekugi? Do you really think that the Japanese government might suddenly engage in genocide, or are you just saying that you're "taking a risk" living in Japan to back up your argument? I...
Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but your argument according to the last two paragraphs I quoted above was that Neville was able to placate Germany until Britain had built up enough military might to...
