"HeyBub" wrote: Hadn't heard that story, but it doesn't refute the claim he was agnostic when he did his somewhat anti-social activities. Lots of folks engage in "death bed conversions." Doesn't cost nothing. The main thing is the motivation for McVeigh wasn't religious in nature, unlike the OP for this part of the thread was alleging. It was all anti-government and very secular. He is pretty much saying that anyone who does anything wrong did it because of religion even if the only contact with religion was a couple seconds of the 700 Club while surfing (okay I might give him that one). -- I want to find a voracious, small-minded predator and name it after the IRS.

I guess they’re afraid that people are going to remove the screws and lick the anchors. All that’s left now is for parents to start suing their elementary schools for having the teachers make their children use lead pencils.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Well yes, doesn't everybody pull the anchors out and chew on them? Has California just totally gone bonkers or what? Well, unused (and removed) anchors tend to just "Lie about" in tool boxes and "junk drawers." If the goal is to remove lead from "the environment," then lead anchors should be held off the local market. N.B.: plastic anchors work quite well up to #8 and, maybe #10. After that, ther are zink and alluminum anchors as well as epoxy anchors. |

I haven't missed out on anything in life that I wanted or needed. Further, I don't find it necessary to condem you or call you silly and crazy for your lack of belief. If you get comfort from a lack of belief then more power to you and that is OK by me. If I get comfort from beliving in God, why can't you just accept it and leave it at that? NO, instead you have to try and show some perverted superiority and degrade those who don't believe as you. That make me wonder just how much you really believe in what you are saying and what you are feeling. |

Continued tolerance of the jihdist behavior is an idiotic tenet of the progressive leftists trying to reshape America. My sources? The headlines every day. Joe Actually, you are wrong. Numerically, by far the vast majority of Muslims are peace loving people. Only a small minirity of the worlds Muslims arejihadists and radicals. A very DANGEROUS minority, but a minirity none the less. The same can be said for Christians. Even evangelical Christians. A small minority world-wide are radically fanatical and intollerant. As for leaving the world a better place, that is what Christianity is all about. Particularly the historic peace churches - the brethren, quakers, mennonites, etc are actively involved in peacefull resolution of conflict - restorative justice programs etc. , andwork with all faiths - even those who would say they have none. The work of Mennonite Disaster Service in areas of natural or man-made distasters is definitely helping leave this world a better place. They are still actively working with the poor and disenfranchised of New Orleans, cleaning up the wreckage left behind by Katrina, as well as in many other areas around North America, and the world. Mennonite Central Committee is very involved in relief work around the world - with Haiti being a good example. Also involved throught Africa and Asia in disaster relief and development projects - one of the more effective "aid" organizations in the world. The lowest overhead of ANY. Ask anyone who has been on the recieving end - and the aid is given to any and all - Muslim, Christian, Animist, Jew, Hindu, Atheist, or whatever. You (and many Americans - as well as many Europeans) have a rather warped view of what Christianity is, and what Christians believe. Yes, there is a small minority of the world's "christians" who would leave the world a better place by simply leaving - and many of them are American Fundamentalist Republicans. About the same number of rabid American Democrats could do the same. |

USG was foolish for not having any thoughts about security or a perimeter around the buildings they put up. (Not that the changes they have made on existing buildings since then have improved things much.) I haven't looked up how many new federal buildings have been built in CONUS since then, but after the OKC bombing and the various embassy bombings, I imagine GSA and State spent a lot of time visiting with DoD and learning about blast zones, deflection berms, labyrinth approach roads, and similar neat stuff. Other than when politicians force it, to get jobs in depressed downtown areas, I don't think you will see many new federal buildings in old downtown areas 30 feet from passing traffic, like the one I work in is. -- aem sends... |

Not believing in God is every bit as much of a leap of faith as believing. Probably more so. If you believe and you are wrong, then you are dead and nothing happens. You might have a nanosecond or two of feeling a little foolish, but nothing all that bad. If don't and you are wrong, that eternity in Hell thing would be a bummer. You have much more to lose by not believing and being wrong. I admire your guts. Which god? Jehovah? Krishna? Odin? How does one decide which one to bet on? One mainstream religion takes the position that it doesn't matter which (single) God one worships - what counts is righteous conduct. One can be a righteous Baptist or a righteous Buddhist. Same result. |

Re Sale of lead screw anchors in California.: The saner factions of islam are by far the minority and their voices are muffled by the majority fanatics of all the islamic sects seeking world domination. Continued tolerance of the jihdist behavior is an idiotic tenet of the progressive leftists trying to reshape America. My sources? The headlines every day.

I"m betting we listen to different news sources-- I've heard plenty of Muslims denouncing the violent factions of Islam. Just heard one tonight on our local news when interviewed about the vandalism of their Mosque. Jim |

You might want to read the articles rather than listen to headlines. The headline might be; "10 million Muslims think 9/11 was justified" The article will tell you [or not, if that doesn't fit their pre-conceived narrative] that the 10 million represents about 75 of the worldwide 1.3billion Muslims. I'd be willing to bet that Christianity has about the same percentage of kooks. Jim |

They are a distinct minority in all respects but the are more visible by their ignorant actions and they receive a much higher exposure by the world media than their numbers would indicate. That recognition and exposure by the media is the driving force behind their actions and likewise their greatest recruiting tool. |

Has California just totally gone bonkers or what? Well, unused (and removed) anchors tend to just "Lie about" in tool boxes and "junk drawers." If the goal is to remove lead from "the environment," then lead anchors should be held off the local market. N.B.: * plastic anchors work quite well up to #8 and, maybe #10. * After that, ther are zink and alluminum anchors as well as epoxy anchors. Yes, lets remove everything that could possibly cause some harm to the idiots of the world. Start with draining the water out of all the swimming pools because someone could possibly drown. Remove the tires from cars because they could blow out and cause a rollover. Cut that power line going to your house because you might touch a wire a fry your dumb ass. Yes, I know those are all examples of over-reaction but then no more so than eliminating lead anchors for the "environment". |

I don’t see anyone doing anything to prevent all the other dead weight from accumulating in the environment so what’s so special about lead? |
