How did the Treasury Department justify involvement in the Koresh case if unrelated to sex crimes?	CNN just claimed he bought 104 "semi-automatic assault rifles". And they say Koresh wasn't god-like... He managed to buy or build a collection of fully-automatic semi-automatic rifles... Quite a feat, I would say. ;-) They're still making charges of "sexual abuse" and such, or course. Nobody seems to have noticed that the Treasury department has nothing to do with sex crimes. Or maybe the feds have recently instituted a TAX on sex crimes... Yeah, that's why the BATF was there, looking for unregistered guns ("this is my weapon, this is my gun, this is for fighting, this is for..."). I also heard that they're claiming to be cautious because of Koresh's "heated ammunition stockpile". I seem to recall that smokeless powder tends to decompose at even moderate temperatures. I would be rather surprised, after a fire of that nature, if any of his "stockpile" is unexploded, or unburned. I seem to recall that aluminum powder is a common component of fireworks... The folks on rec.pyro could probably tell you. I think anything is legal if you have the proper license. If he had a "curios and relics" permit, I believe he could legally own handgrenades to go with his launcher. -- Charles Scripter * [email protected] Dept of Physics, Michigan Tech, Houghton, MI 49931

How does media bias impact public perception of international conflicts, and can it be objectively measured?	If you consider Israeli reporting of events in Israel to be propoganda, then consider the Washington Post's handling of American events to be propoganda too. What makes the Israeli press inherently biased in your opinion? I wouldn't compare it to Nazi propoganda either. Unless you want to provide some evidence of Israeli inaccuracies or parallels to Nazism, I suggest you keep your mouth shut. I'm sick and tired of all you anti-semites comparing Israel to the Nazis (and yes, in my opinion, if you compare Israel to the Nazis you are an anti-semite because you know damn well it isn't true and you are just trying to discredit Israel).

How do pro-gun advocates reconcile support for firearms with opposition to nuclear weapons as militia tools?	Yes, I am pro-gun, and yes, I do disagree with this statement. Nuclear weapons in and of themselves are dangerous. Radioactive decay of plutonium and uranium, as well as the tritium in the weapon, tends to be somewhat dangerous to living things. (Can you say "neutron flux"?) Plus these things have no self- defense purposes. It's kinda hard to justify their use as a militia weapon when at best they are meant for battlefield use (low-yield weapons) or at worst for industrial target obliteration (translation: cities and population centers). Not to mention that for it to be used as a militia weapon and expect the user to live requires some sort of launch vehicle . . .

How can societies balance freedom of speech with protection against hate speech and racism?	Dear Mr. Beyer: It is never wise to confuse "freedom of speech" with "freedom" of racism and violent deragatory." It is unfortunate that many fail to understand this crucial distinction. Indeed, I find the latter in absolute and complete contradiction to the former. Racial invective tends to create an atmosphere of intimidation where certain individuals (who belong to the group under target group) do not feel the ease and liberty to exercise their fundamental "freedom of speech." This brand of vilification is not sanctioned under "freedom of speech. Salam, John Absood

How can communities effectively balance safety measures and personal freedoms in areas prone to criminal activity?	[stuff deleted] Really? How do you avoid situations which encourage criminals?

Especially when the university is locatd in a nice residential area. A friend of mine was attacked and nearly raped in just this situation. The police didn't feel she was in a situation which 'encouraged criminals'. What do you think? Should we just tell her, that it was her fault for daring to ride a bicycle in the middle of the day? That she didn't avoid a situation that encouraged criminals? If that's the case, then we'd all better put bars on our doors and windows and pray for a police state to keep us all safe. Crime happens in all situations - there are no defined areas that criminals avoid.

How have personal lives of Middle Eastern leaders historically impacted their political careers and public perception?	Arab leaders are now following by Islamic rules? (Or is it only applicable in cases like this?) :- I remember an article of about a year ago which stated that besides his wife, Saddam also has a mistress. Assad's brother has a wife and several mistresses, and those 'emirs' in the Gulf have, within their lifetimes, wives in the double digitas (only they manage to keep four at a time). This is all irrelevant. It takes a lot more than infidelity to make these leaders ruthless and corrupt. Maybe Netanyahu thought he could 'cleanse' himself by making such a public confession. Does the average secular Israeli care, though? The Mossad probably applauded him. :-)

How does the Israeli stance on withdrawal affect regional peace negotiations and Hezbollah's influence in Lebanon?	[most of Brads post deleted.] Tell me, do these young men also attack Syrian troops? There must be a guarantee of peace before this happens. It seems that many of these Lebanese youth are unable to restrain themselves from violence, and unable to to realize that their actions prolong Israels stay in South Lebanon. If the Lebanese army was able to maintain the peace, then Israel would not have to be there. Until it is, Israel prefers that its soldiers die rather than its children. Israel should withdraw from Lebanon when a peace treaty is signed. Not a day before. Withdraw because of casualties would tell the Lebanese people that all they need to do to push Israel around is kill a few soldiers. Its not gonna happen. Why should Israel not demand this while holding the buffer zone? It seems to me that the better bargaining position is while holding your neighbors land. If Lebanon were willing to agree to those conditions, Israel would quite probably have left already. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that the Lebanese can disarm the Hizbolah, and maintain the peace.

How does media bias impact public perception of international conflicts, and can it be objectively measured?

If you consider Israeli reporting of events in Israel to be propoganda, then consider the Washington Post's handling of American events to be propoganda too. What makes the Israeli press inherently biased in your opinion? I wouldn't compare it to Nazi propoganda either. Unless you want to provide some evidence of Israeli inaccuracies or parallels to Nazism, I suggest you keep your mouth shut. I'm sick and tired of all you anti-semites comparing Israel to the Nazis (and yes, in my opinion, if you compare Israel to the Nazis you are an anti-semite because you know damn well it isn't true and you are just trying to discredit Israel).

How do pro-gun advocates reconcile support for firearms with opposition to nuclear weapons as militia tools?

Yes, I am pro-gun, and yes, I do disagree with this statement. Nuclear weapons in and of themselves are dangerous. Radioactive decay of plutonium and uranium, as well as the tritium in the weapon, tends to be somewhat dangerous to living things. (Can you say "neutron flux"?) Plus these things have no self- defense purposes. It's kinda hard to justify their use as a militia weapon when at best they are meant for battlefield use (low-yield weapons) or at worst for industrial target obliteration (translation: cities and population centers). Not to mention that for it to be used as a militia weapon and expect the user to live requires some sort of launch vehicle . . .

How can societies balance freedom of speech with protection against hate speech and racism?

Dear Mr. Beyer: It is never wise to confuse "freedom of speech" with "freedom" of racism and violent deragatory." It is unfortunate that many fail to understand this crucial distinction.

Racial invective tends to create an atmosphere of intimidation where certain individuals (who belong to the group under target group) do not feel the ease and liberty to exercise *their* fundamental "freedom of speech." This brand of vilification is not sanctioned under "freedom of speech. Salam, John Absood

Especially when the university is locatd in a nice residential area. A friend of mine was attacked and nearly raped in just this situation. The police didn't feel she was in a situation which 'encouraged criminals'. What do you think? Should we just tell her, that it was her fault for daring to ride a bicycle in the middle of the day? That she didn't avoid a situation that encouraged criminals? If that's the case, then we'd all better put bars on our doors and windows and pray for a police state to keep us all safe. Crime happens in all situations - there are no defined areas that criminals avoid.

How have personal lives of Middle Eastern leaders historically impacted their political careers and public perception?

Arab leaders are now following by Islamic rules? (Or is it only applicable in cases like this?) :- I remember an article of about a year ago which stated that besides his wife, Saddam also has a mistress. Assad's brother has a wife and *several* mistresses, and those 'emirs' in the Gulf have, within their lifetimes, wives in the double digitas (only they manage to keep four at a time). This is all irrelevant. It takes a *lot* more than infidelity to make these leaders ruthless and corrupt. Maybe Netanyahu thought he could 'cleanse' himself by making such a public confession. Does the average secular Israeli care, though? The Mossad probably applauded him. :-)

How does the Israeli stance on withdrawal affect regional peace negotiations and Hezbollah's influence in Lebanon?

[most of Brads post deleted.] Tell me, do these young men also attack Syrian troops? There must be a guarantee of peace before this happens. It seems that many of these Lebanese youth are unable to restrain themselves from violence, and unable to to realize that their actions prolong Israels stay in South Lebanon. If the Lebanese army was able to maintain the peace, then Israel would not have to be there. Until it is, Israel prefers that its soldiers die rather than its children. Israel should withdraw from Lebanon when a peace treaty is signed. Not a day before. Withdraw because of casualties would tell the Lebanese people that all they need to do to push Israel around is kill a few soldiers. Its not gonna happen. Why should Israel not demand this while holding the buffer zone? It seems to me that the better bargaining position is while holding your neighbors land. If Lebanon were willing to agree to those conditions, Israel would quite probably have left already. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that the Lebanese can disarm the Hizbolah, and maintain the peace.
