I don't know about GI Joe. But I know Glenn Beck can be as full of crap it isn't funny. I have watched him several times and I can't figure out where he is coming from. I've heard he is Mormon, but he doesn't act like the many Mormons I know. He comes up with some pretty off the wall stuff IMO. I'm a Conservative.

Yes.

Not for much longer they are supposed to vote on the Sea Treaty today which would give the UN power over all the oceans, make them the owners of all things under the sea ( read that OIL) It will also give them power to tax us for being on their water and for polluting it with our awful runoff. I really hope there is still enough sense to vote this crap down!

Cool better things to worry about.

If Hasbro has indeed done this to the doll depicting a real hero this is a huge slap in the face of all Americans! Someone please help me to confirm or deny this.
I think the world in general has better things to worry about rather than what GI Joe Stands for.

Like what? Islam is the religion of peace while they are out to kill everyone? Like prayer is bad and homosexulaity is good? Like everything "for the children" has nothing at all to do with children? That common sense isn't common at all? That Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness are unimportant and nearly forgotten? Where do you draw the line?

Antiq,
Homosexuality simply 'is' There are good folks and bad folks who are Gay, just like any other generalized by trait type you'd care to mention. I like to consider myself one of the good guys so I'll leave it at, It's America, you're welcome to your opinion just don't be surprised when someone else's is different.

Examples can be given to show that every religion on the planet has been "out to kill everyone" at some point over time. Saying that the religon of Islam is out ot kill everyone is just nonsense.

Like the homeless in your own city, like racial unrest in your own city, like skyrocketing unemployment in our countries, like home invasions, like the growing number of cases of child sexual molestation, like our oceans being polluted, like the huge amount of press being devoted to some stupid skank named Britney or Nichole or any other number of celebs. Get a grip man. Its just a doll! Now if they changed his name to GI Khomeini, then i'd be upset.

Yep, PC and feel goodism is and will destroy America.

Show me the last time a Catholic, Baptist, Irish Protestant or even the much hated and singled out Christian flew a plane into a building, or plotted to kill thousands of Americans due to not following a religion.

In todays world it's more offensive to be a white Christian than a person from the middle east who wants to kill those same white Christians.

here is my 2 cents.... Historically whoever wins... was right...when you look at major wars or conflicts... the most notable exception was Vietnam.. somehow they won.. and we were still right ... G.I. Joe was a WWII hero... and then he went to Korea... and then Vietnam... I would hope that he is smarter now..(certainly older) and will be in an advisory role for current and future conflicts

now if you think that sounds stupid...go back and reread what people said in this thread...

Joe, just because it hasn't happened to the same terrible degree in our near past, does not it hasn't happened to the same terrible degree in the past.
People have killed people by the thousands since the beginning of time in the name of their religion or cause.

No one is saying what Islamic extremists do is acceptable or tolerable, and should be dealt with as severely as possible. But it's plain niave to suggest that "Christian" types have not done similar terrible things in the past.

That's the kind of crap that torques my jaw, antiq. Our "representatives" in Washington are giving up our sovereignty. They are almost all one-worlders -including Dubya.

Since Mohammad came out with the koran that religion is based on hate, killing, murder and all sorts of other forms of not so nice pleasure & their one goal is to kill all non believers.

No other religion has ever had the single goal to kill those who do not believe the way they want you to believe.

This is the problem, so many people do not understand how & why they think this way & the Western mind just can not accept the fact that that's how they think and believe & thus that will be the downfall of the Western civilization as we know it.

With all due respect, I have only two words for you, "Spanish Inquisition". Thousands were killed and tens of thousands changed their religion so they would not be killed by the Catholic Church.

It is funny, they say there are two things we should never talk about in public, Politics and Religion. However, if we don't, we could be hanging ourselves. The key to these disucussions is to learn to agree to disagree.
