I used to have a tolerance for alchohol.  Now one or two shots or beers and I will feel the effect.

Secondly, have you ever smoked a cigarette?  I have smoked in my life one entire cigarette with no other external factors.  When I stood up I could barely walk.  I could not imagine how in the world people functioned after smoking.  I certainly would not want to drive after that cigarette.

My point is that any substance can create an unctrollable effect on a person.  According to your logic we should ban any substance that makes you go loony.

As far as this country being founded on Christian ideals???  I guess that is why Slavery was supported for over 200 years in North America.  I guess Christian ideals is why Native Americans were killed without cause and had their lands taken.  I guess Christian values is why hundres of people were killed in witch trials.

I hear alot of people talking about christian values but yet I see very few of them actually following them.

You make it sound like the ideals are false. Christians are people too and make mistakes like anyone else, if not more. A person who is a chrsitian isn't mysteriously perfected into a person who is infallible or can never do wrong or make mistakes, bad decisions. You can't blame Christian ideals/Christianity for the selfish deeds of people, if they're contradictory then somebody is a hypocrite/selfish in their ways and has perverted the truth, twisted it to fulfill their desire(s). I don't recall reading about any of Christ's followers killing/murdering astrologers or any of the like (somewhat similiar, dealing with the supernatural or extraterrestrial, witches). I do recall the Apostle Paul though showing an astrologer the Way and the man changed and adopted Paul's way of thinking, basically becoming a Christian. Christians are striving for perfection yet are still in the world and are still tempted by the old way they used to be when they should be something different. Being a Christian is a very hard thing to do, talking like a Christian not very hard...

OPRAH '08!

F... that, Arnold for President! (whenever he runs for it)

Sorry to say it but those people who are fighting over there are the ones who signed the dotted line. I did too, but I'm relatively luckily as I'm on a ship, but it's still an easy target and a potential target.

I don't understand your thinking 855T, everyone knew what they were getting themselves into when they signed the contract. I'm sure those who are in Iraq want to come home but the vast majority know they have a duty to fulfill whether they like it or not, they are bound by the promise they made. I hate it when people complain about enlisting because it's not what they thought due to the fact that they figured they'd get a free ride and college money not have to fight or do something that their country would ask of them.

Is freedom for a friend not worth dying for?
