thought about a graph but the difference between 31.5 and 23,000 would be meaningless. All you would see is the 23,000 column.

do you mind if i steal this to torture torties? i promise i won't lead them back here to soil your carpet? i just want to bomb them with some natural disaster stats? link - it's always about, "but your guy did this and your guy did that!" neener-frikn-neener.

what's mine is yours. you've been a good friend, I trust your judgement so asking isn't even necessary

I didn't do it but you might try locating the cost of 9/11. That ought to make a statement. The retorters will say 'yeah but 4,000 died needlessly' to which one can encounter that this obamapelosireid disaster will have a far greater toll but in slow motion

Actually, if you reflect on it a bit the liberal philosophy is already killing millions of defenseless humans because they are simply an inconvenience. I watched that documentary the silent Scream and I just can't the image of that poor little thing struggling for survival as the vacuum rips it apart.

I hope in judgment the little fella gets to point his finger at his 'mother' and condemns her to Hell.

thankx, iopian - had to shut a liberal down the other day at farmer's when he started spouting about how the infant mortality rate is 40% highter in cuba than here - told him that's because we don't count the 50+ million babies who haven't made it through gestation - he never came back. hmmm... the guy claims to be a catholic!

now i'm going to paste your list over there and come back in a couple of hours - HA!

It does put it in perspective. Democrats are a disaster.

Lots of people claim to be Catholic... 100% more religion 100% less guilt. Just hop up and down three times, spin once and slap your chest a couple of times while mumbling something about Mary. Bam! Sin be gone.
