Well, in the climate thread the stuff you wrote didn't read like a quote, you really have to flag this type of thing if you don't want people to get the wrong end of the stick. In this thread, you can't expect me to work out that you were talking about racing cars (not a use for DU that I'd have guessed, what the hell do you use it for anyway? Taking o ...[text shortened]... vist, which is a way what you seemed to be saying could be consistent. Anyway, I apologise.

I had thought I posted a link in that climate change thread. Sorry.

We use the DU for weight on the car. We have minimum weights that we have to scale out at and the percentages from corner to corner of the car have to be right for the car to handle correctly. We like DU over lead because we can get more weight in less area. Depending on which motor we run we have to hang a lot of weight and end up using lead also. DU is not readily available and the little I do have is hand me down from a professional. Well, more like a sell me down.

what do you think christians did for a good number of years? in regards to how we deal with these "few", i dont claim to know the answer to. i have a job to do and i go do it to the best of my ability. all i cared about when i was over there was to bring all my guys back safe.

well, in all technicality...
those Christian atrocities were the Catholic Church during a time where the Church was under control of medieval kings...
but enough about that...
i'm gone...
will continue my part of debate tomorrow...

where are they coming from?
is Iraq just becoming a zone for maniacs to come to from all over the world and blow themselves up with some americans?
how can they hate us so much?
is it that we stand for freedom?
is it that america is predominately Christian?
doesn't the Q'uran teach acceptance of Christianity because we supposedly worship the same god of Abraham?

They hate us so much because we use our economic and military power to push everyone else around. That's politically and culturally. I'm not acvocating isolationism, but we abuse the power that we have.

And it doesn't matter what the Quran says. Religion isn't about text. The Bibile says "it is easier for a camel to go through an eye of a needle thatn for one rich man to get into heaven" but how many so called Christians respect this injunction from Christ himself? Text is used to suit the interest of the reader
