Look at public schools or my argument in the U.S. becoming an emotionless face. You can't speak of your religious beliefs in public schools, and history books almost absolutley refrain from calling Jesus an actual God, that Mohammed rose into heaven, just so no one would be offended. The world works while we play. Why do you think the Middle East hates us?

If I had to support a plan instead of a charismatic candidate, then I'd probably support Gen. Clark. And yes his military experiance gives him more credibility than Bush's National Guard service

Dalamar, in my experience, I can't remember a single time when anyone was in any way discouraged from speaking of their religious beliefs in class. In fact, a number of discussions, particularly recently, have revolved around religion. Also, what I can remember of my history books' (admittedly brief) coverage of religion seems fair, as I can't remember any promoting or degrading any particular sect. Perhaps you could say a bit more about your own experience (as I assume that's where you're coming from with your position)?

Clark... Interesting fellow. I don't personally know too much about him. However, I'm curious... I remember hearing a number of things about Clark having blatantly switched position on several issues without any real reason, which seems somewhat damaging to his credibility. The most recent instance of this I can remember is his being accused of suddenly changing his stance from pro-war to anti-war during the near past, on a news program I saw a small portion of... Perhaps you could clarify here a bit? Since I presume that you have something to say on the matter, if you support him. [ 01-21-2004, 05:41 PM: Message edited by: Encard ] |

Hmm... The first two links you have actually seem to make it sound like Clark did suddenly shift position on the war. Perhaps you could explain why you say he didn't? Because it's not really the message I got from that information.
I also have to say I'm curious about something... I looked at Clark's issues page you gave in the last link. Some of the stuff on the war section seems a tad bit odd... I'm wondering, for example, how he plans on doing background checks on Iraqi former soldiers. I mean, did Iraq keep good enough records on its soldiers for the US to be able to do that? I was under the impression that it was rather chaotic... Also, how lightly-equipped are the light forces he wants to use more of (point 2, bullet two)? Since just a couple sentences before that he said that unarmored humvees are putting Americans at greater risk... Does he mean pure infantry, or something else, or what? I'm wondering whether you might know enough about his plan to tell me. |

This now belongs in the Current Events world, methinks.
