Let's see how this plays out...

[Proletariat]

Sure, they look cute and adorable to the untrained eye, but they're actually about to put on their Doc Martins, PETA shirts, and chow down on some Boca-Burgers.

[Don Corleone]

I wear Docs & eat Boca Burgers. Does that make me 2/3 of a lesbian?

Well, there's one more requirement and from what I learned on the Sopranos somone with your user name probably won't make the cut.

[Don Corleone]

What? Lesbians chase skirts, I chase skirts. Lesbians were flannel, I wear flannel. Lesbians like women's basketball, I had season tickets to UCONN women all 4 years and helped 'em write their papers when I was in the computer lab. In all ways but 1, I AM a lesbian.

Well I like to kiss women - does that make me a lesbian.

godfather, i have lost any and all respect for you. never tell anybody outside the family what you're thinking again.

[Don Corleone]

Dude, UCONN women dominate. They're not just the best, they're the only choice. For the longest time, they were unstoppable. This year they took a breath, next year, it's right back to breaking hearts and trouncing dreams. I'm proud to admit I caught every home, and many road and most tournament games in their 34-0 season.

You say that in the plural. Does wifey know about these others? Eh, eh? I think 100 dollars entering my pocket would go a long way towards assuring my silence.

My wife sometimes encourages me to kiss other women - normally when she is extremely mad at me.

[Don Corleone]

Oooooh.... you're swingers.... I see. Just kidding. She encourages you to kiss other women though, eh? Any chance I could set up a conference call between your wife and mine?

[Redleg]

Oooooh.... you're swingers.... I see. Just kidding. She encourages you to kiss other women though, eh? Any chance I could set up a conference call between your wife and mine?

Well the encouragement comes along these lines "Go Kiss off" or "Why don't you go Kiss one of your girlfriends"

[Don Corleone]

Yeah, well mine is the daugher of a cop, has a concealed carry permit, is a better shot than I, and explained in detail to me her definition of "until death do us part" as it relates to the adultery question. While I'm a transplant, my wife is most certainly, and I do love, GRITS (Girls Raised in The South).

[Crazed Rabbit]

Not the lesbian otters! That's the only creature we can't defend against! We're doomed!

PETA shirts

PETA, eh? Maybe they're not so bad after all. I, too, support people for the eating of tasty animals.

I was just thinking, it seems like Lesbians rarely are terrorists. In fact all homosexuals are less violent than heterosexuals. Wouldn't this indicate that they are a more safe group to have around in the society ?? The threat of terror will be 0 if everyone was gay ?? Statistically I mean.......

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Well Im going to ignor PC thinking here and state that most likely this is because Muslims are far less tolerant of homosexuality than we are.

The threat of terror will be 0 if everyone was gay

There wouldnt be anyone to terrorize we would all be gone.

[Don Corleone]

Bmolsson,
You've clearly never been near an "Act Up" rally in the Village.

[Proletariat]

In all ways but 1, I AM a lesbian.

I'd explain the last bit, but I don't wanna sully the chaste virtues of the backroom.

I know when it was first explained to me I thought I was a lesbian as I had all the traits also but one. Does that mean that a lesbian trapped in a mans body?

[Don Corleone]

Well, as I'm married, I do believe I have a clue as to what that last bit might be. But honestly, are there any virtues to be sullied around here?

[PanzerJaeger]

IF this guy was a CIA operative, he deserves to stay in this country.

The fight against Castro has always been dirty and just because he isnt as big of a threat as he used to be is no reason to burn our friends in that fight.

As to Goofs first point..

So, is the Global War on Terror really a war against all terrorists, or only against those terrorists that don't serve U.S. interests?

Your move Mr. Bush.

I have been operating under the assumption that it has always been against Anti-American terrorists. If we go about trying to take on every little group that has something against its government then we'll just end up making more enemies than we started with.

No Goof, i think this war is against a very specific group of terrorists - those who attacked on 9/11 and those who sympathize with that effort.

Terrorists will always be around and are just a tool in the game of geopolitics. Take, for example the Kurds in Iraq or those nuts in Afghanistan.

[bmolsson]

You are most probably right. Seriously.....

On the light side, not being a terrorist is so... gay.....

[monkian]

Christ, and I was accused of being off-topic

[LittleGrizzly]

moving away from the delightful topic of lesbians (which im usually more than happy to discuss) BBC news told me they arrested the guy, good move.

[Productivity]

The ends (no Saddam) do not justify the means (civillian killing) ....

You have classed two completeley seperate areas of civilian killing as one. Intentional killing of civilians is one thing, killing of civilians as an accident/unavoidable cost is another (and for that matter, killing through negligence is a third but that is irrelevant to this issue).

In a legal situation I assume it would be the difference between wilful murder, murder and manslaughter.

Therefore, the analogy does not apply, and so this part of the thread should be ignored.

EDIT: WTH happened to this thread?

Panzer, at least I'm not the only one who posted a reply and then read the thread.

[Paul Peru]

Got you. I'm actually a Lesbian Otter who is here to seek out any chink's in the enemy's armor.

Do you have a significant otter?

[Paul Peru]

I'll say: don't hand him over if he faces Death. Hand him over if he faces Life.
Norway is currently harbouring Mullah Krekar, a big-shot fundamentalist terrorist guy from Iraq, waiting for it to be reasonably safe to send him back to serve in an Iraqi prison.

[LittleGrizzly]

Do you have a significant otter?

lol that was lame...

Spare armadillo?

well seen as USA still has the death penalty i don't think they'll care to much whether he has a potential death sentence or not.

If he was working for the USA i can feel some sympathy for him, but with the recent anti-terrorist rhethoric that would have been to much of an a humiliation to keep him free.

Thanks for bringing the thread back on topic, and thanks for an honest answer, PJ. I have to admit, I do envy you your single-minded pragmatism when it comes to what you perceive to be in the interests of your country's safety. It must make the world a far less complicated place from your point of view.

(No, that comment was not meant as a cheap shot, please take it at face value)

But don't you think that if the U.S. decides to go easy on this guy and not hand him over, that they lose any right or moral high-ground when demanding that other countries hand over known terrorists that they are sheltering?
