  Re: Debate
 
(...) You said something to that effect a couple of days ago. It's funny -- I consider myself a complete amature when it comes to statistics. I'm comfy applying and analyzing stats to social-science kind of situations and I can use SAS, SPSS, or (...) (23 years ago, 7-Apr-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Gosh. 95%? I didn't know it was so high. It seems like the only way you could really disagree with me that much was to have incredibly middle of the road views. I mostly radical stances but in all "directions." Is that how you would (...) (23 years ago, 6-Apr-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

I place such a premium value on having that happen that (...) (23 years ago, 6-Apr-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: Naughty Words? (was: Couldn't resist bringing this to your attention(s))
 
(...) Me either. I suspect it has some relation to peoples' upbringing. As a child, you're taught what's acceptable to say, and what's not. You quickly learn what words will pass, and what words will result in getting a bar of soap inserted in your (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: In this time of conflict, one good news
 
(...) I heard the statements (1) made in the Angolan parliament last night on the BBC. I really hope that this does turn into a lasting peace. I was amazed to hear that the agreement established in 1994 is what this is all based on. It is astounding (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

To add a separate thread of debate -- one thing that has been bothering me as of late is the 'restitution for atrocities that happened in the past' It was wrong for (...)

  Re: Conflict in the Middle East
 
(...) The situation in the Middle East is complicated. Both sides have points to be made and complaints that deserve a hearing. But there are stark differences between the two – and these differences paint a clear picture of who wears the black hat (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

<snip> (...) <snip> Larry, That's correct. I (and others) cured you of your need to engage in name-calling and mudslinging in this group. It's just my view, but I think this group is better because you no longer post here in the manner you once did. (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) To be fair, "they" also identify such a distinction, and "them" ain't "us." I understand your point and agree with it in the abstract, but I think it's a mistake to act as if all distinctions are arbitrary, fleeting, or non-existent--even if (...)

  In this time of conflict, one good news
 
There has been quite a discussion here about the Middle East situation, and since IMO the situation is not due to be resolved anytime soon, I thought of calling your attention to a bit of hope coming from elsewhere on Earth.

  My closing thoughts on the Free Super Chiefs
 
Thank you all for your thoughts. When originally posting, I thought that all replies would be positive.
