Some people are watching this video because they read "We Were Soldiers Once, And Young". English-born platoon leader Rick Rescorla sang this to his men during the Battle of Ia Drang. (I'm not kidding.) Read the book. Skip the movie. Rescorla died in the 9/11 attacks. He was head of security for ...

@ninuxy You obviously have no military experience. Why don't you take your tough-guy act to your local armed forces recruiter? After all, the worst that can happen is that they will tell you to lose 80 ponds and then come back...

@ohyesididagain He played in the NBA from 1960 to 1974. He was on the Olympic team with Oscar Robertson.

If there had been a three-point line when he played, he would had several thousand more points. He held the record for scoring average in a playoff series until MJ broke it. And he played tou...

@doGoNsIylbaborPerehT First of all, you are remarkably civil for a philosophical materialist, and I thank you for that. Secondly, in the last minute of the video a caption appears reading: "(Here Dawkins is) answering an entirely different question". Dawkins asserts that critics of Darwinism are ...

@waypasthadenough Dude, you are enslaved by your own ignorance.

You are a born philosopher. You always apply Occam's Razor: you are concise and precise. And it doesn't hurt that you are so pretty! I predict great things for you. But watch out for the slanderers and the wolves in sheep's clothing!

@jsl277212 You see, not only are the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq tragically unnecessary, the American men and women fighting them are your intellectual and ethical betters.

I can't understand how this buffoonish character O'Reilly got a public forum. It makes you despair for mankind.

@jsl277212 Wow! You took an "international trade" class? You must be the scourge of your local community college. I'll bet you can use big words too.

@ThirdRAILKink Nobody has called me that since the third grade. Thanks for the nostalgia.

ganz gut Ms Volleanne..Ich kann ein bischen Deutsch raden

Come on, we don't need a reaction, this is the essence of Rock and Roll.

@TruthSmack You might be the first knucklehead in history to accuse someone of being both a secret Mason and a Jesuit-sympathiser. This, in combination with your utter inability to punctuate a sentence, makes you the perfect Romney supporter (also known as a "Mitt-Head).

Oh come on, you cared passionately, and you wanted her to lose because you are a disgusting catamite. You lost Proposition 22. You lost Proposition 8. And the bible has several verses condemning "sodomy" (what you do). You just haven't taken the time to read the Bible, perhaps because you do no...

@jsl277212 No, you look over here! I sent my two daughters to German public schools in the late 80's when I was stationed there. German public schools indeed outperformed their stateside and DOD counterparts. This is because American public schools are under the bootheel of the NEA and the AFT an...

@jsl277212 Here is a representative example of "progressive thinking": "Gold standard is just not realistic or advisable." Translation: I don't know why I'm against the gold standard. It's just that I've heard so many times on TV that it's crazy, I have to say it too." There are millions of habi...

Keep up the good work and realize you will be a Senator from New York someday...so don't get involved in anything questionable. You know the creepy progressives and neocons will try to ruin you. Marry a nice guy (preferably with blonde hair and blue eyes like me) and raise a family of courageou...

Civil disobedience is an honorable tradition in this strange country of ours. While many of us do not share the politics of the protestors, we believe their right to protest is guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. Obviously they've touched a nerve. Bloomberg's storm troopers are on high alert. And...

I wish I could meet her and ask for her autograph. I would try not to kneel and ask her if I could defend her from bad guys or something like that. I also wish that all the young ladies in Japan would move to California.
