I can't think of anything less than offensive.

sorry Art, can you explain how some father-daughter sexual relationships appear beneficial to both?

According to research interviews, some father-daughter incestuous pairs report a long close relationship with sexual involvement that both parties said was a positve in their lives, and neither showe dany harmful efects from it.
All sexual behavior is instinctively based, where the expression of sex is modified somewhat by learning but not in its instinctive basis. A culture may dictate sex once a year only, but few will be able to learn such control - goes too much against instinct. There are positive instincts urging sex, and negative or anxiety instincts, prohibiting sex.
Women have more anxiety instincts related to sex and more frequently have frigidity than men.
Men have more aggressivity related to more positive sexual instincts, and thus are more assertive in courtship, more promiscuous than women, and also are more likely to be rapists than are women.
Some people have strong anxiety instincts related to homsexuality - and could not engage in such acts. Others lacking these instincts can be bisexual. Still others have anxiety instincts in relation to hetrosexuality and can only be homosexual.
Some parents and children have strong anxiety instincts in relation to incest, and can not do it. When a parent does not have this anxiety instinct, and thus could easily have sex with their child, two cases can result:
The child does have the anxiety instinct and is traumatized by the sex
The child does not have the anxiety instinct and is either indifferent to, or even enjoys, the sex.
Most parents and children have anxiety instincts in relation to incest, and can't do it.
Different strokes for different folks.

I'll try once again to explain it to you - Canadians need repeated explanation - information in the public domain, as well known and accepted, does not need to be reference-cited. This includes accepted historical data, "such as Columbus landed on the US soil in 1492". The mathematical historical material I presented, that you refer to, that I gave without references, was of this nature. There were no original ideas in this material, mine or anyone else's, just a chronology of events in mathematical development.
Also, If I say something about Einstein's theroy of relativity, I need not cite a paper by Einstein as a reference. In the public domain.
Look at my posts on gun control. I do not cite references for much of the data I posted - no need to.
I have not plagerized in my posts, and have posted ideas that are original, which are so brilliant that others assume are from other sources that I stole from, as was my post on sexual instincts.

Yeah, you might be able to get away with not refrencing FACTs in the public domain. But, like it or not, you did plagerize an entire article. That article might have been stating historical facts or a timeline of events, but if you think it is acceptable to copy ENTIRE articles (NOT FACTS or information in the public domain), you have no idea what the **** your talking about.
Well, more than likely, its not a matter of not knowing what the **** your talking about, its more like yankee pride.
Find those WMDs yet??? Ahhh, thought so...

Not true. I am beginning to believe you are unable to tell the truth - you insist on slanting, distorting and spinning. You must rigidly fit everything into your fixed preconceptions or you just can't seem to deal with it.
I excerpted some historical facts, that are in the public domain, from an article - I did not plagerize the whole article. Could have gotten these historical facts from anyone of many different sources - this is not original material, and, I repeat, its availablility from many different sources is what puts it in the public domain and thus makes referencing it unneccessary.
Many different history books say Columbus came to america in 1492. If I say Columbus came to America in 1492 you would say I plagerized this information since I did not reference my source.
Nonsense.

Look in the mirror. Please.

No, you quite litterally copied and pasted paragraphs of the article (if not the whole article, I dont think you palgerized the title ), not 'the facts'.

says Cabot discovered the North American mainland, in 1494 and that was 4 years BEFORE Columbus even got to the central american mainland, but the Pope gave Spain the whole deal any way... ya just gotta love the "spin" (it's what makes the world go 'round...

First off, any red blooded american knows full well this was always U.S. soil. Second, who cares what anglo saxon claims discovery of soil that would soon be inhabited by free men. Third, everyone with a functioning brain knows asiatic nomads were the first humans to walk upon U.S. soil.

Been well glass, having computer problems due to my refusal to buy another one every two years. But other than that, happier than I have ever been. How've you been? As you said, some time has elapsed since we last conversed.

It has been the plan all along. We pull out when they can handle the situation. I am sure you have noticed the recently unpublished news of common Iraqi business owners shooting "insurgents" during an attack. At this point all we are there to do is to be a security blanket. They really can do it on their own they just needed someone to show them they could. Ever known an abused woman, child, or even pet for that matter? Same psychology really. They (Iraqi populous) were convinced of their own inability for so long the believed it. They are now starting to believe in their ability... therefore we can start to leave.

Glassman.....such as Columbus landed on the US soil in 1492"
well Art, the US didn't exist until oh 350+ years later,
AND,
in 1492?
he landed on San Salvidor, Cuba, and Hispanola...
Art: Yes, I corrected myself before you corrected me - see the thread. Columbus landed in America - the history books say Columbus discovered America in 1492, which we know is not true - Vikings were here before.
BTW America includes Central and South America, so my statement, before your correction of it, is correct. NIt...nit...nit....nit,....pick.
I can't deal with such crap - my previous post deleted, Kevin's and your nonsense - out of here.

that's preposterous.
my favorite detail about columbus is how the natives came out in canoes to greet his ship, bearing gifts. he wrote back to his investors saying the natives were very docile and generous and would be EASY TO CONQUER and enslave.
these were the first ideas of our glorious white man, at the inception of the "free world".. it's been an orwellian nightmare from the get-go.

i read an article that over 300,000 protesters marched in baghdad this weekend telling the US to get out now. couple of things to consider, we are not welcome, for the first time they have been able to protest without getting killed, the iraqi police kept order not america, sounds like some progress towards peace. hopefully
