Comment: What is a military family worth?
You point out that the people in the military volunteer to put themselves in harms way knowing the benefits are poor, where the people in the 911 attacks did not. I would like to comment on your line of thinking: 1.) I agree that these military volunteers did put themselves in this position. 2.) I do agree that they are under represented in government and their raises and pay are poor at best. 3.) BUT I do not agree that these people put themselves in a war where their leader LIED about weapons of mass destruction. 4.) These people signed up to protect the USA, not Iran. |

Comment: http://www.snopes.com/legal/bluebonnets.asp
In this article you state that the belief that it is illegal to pick trillium in Ottawa is false. I am from Michigan and grew up with wild trillium in my back yard. I am quite sure that picking/harvesting/selling trillium IS illegal in Michigan. |

Hey Christie, how's life down in Ottawa, Michigan?
I mean, I knew the federal government here was outsourcing, but this is ridiculous!

You must be arabic....muslim... something...is wrong anyway with your mentality...i'm removing u from my site. Idiot....no common sense...at all....i hope...(i know) your site will shut down...because i will make sure i pass it along to some congressmen i know who realize how many americans we have lost...and you're posting urban legands....believe me i am going to forward your urban legand to many americans...i'm sure your site will be down soon. God Bless America...God Bless our Soldiers...God Bless the Families who have lost their daughters, sons, brothers, sisters, parents.... I'm so glad I opened this site up....i will put a stop to this crap news coming into our country... Many marines will see this too...it won't take much to close u down...we are Americans....we stand tall...we know whats right and whats wrong.

I get the feeling this person goes through red stop lights because red is the colour of DEM COMMIES!
Or, this person is suffering from serious oxygen deprivation.

So, Snopes: was there ever a time when you would respond to people like this and try to explain their misunderstandings? Or was that impulse burned out pretty quickly?

Yes, there was a time. But given the amount of traffic and e-mail our web site now generates, if I gave in to the impulse I'd end up doing nothing but arguing with loons all day, every day.
And it's pointless, because you'll never argue them out of what they want to believe. You cannot out-debate a loon. - snopes |

Assuming that we were at war with UAE, why would posting a UL about a civilian architectural disaster be an affront to American soldiers? In my mind, if something like that happened to a building in an enemy country, it would be a thing to celebrate because it's an economic setback.

Comment: could you check if this story is a hoax please ?
I can't believe that nowadays in Australia students have the impunity to burn 2 women publicly in a sport field without being arrested... http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599...-23109,00.html |

Hi All:
Quote:
Sure, one can nitpick that it happened in South Africa rather than Australia. But come on - Australia, South Africa, they're both south of the equator and both are great at international rugby. So what's the big deal? And one might argue that there's a difference between the OP's statement that "the students have the impunity" and the link's statement that no arrests had yet been made. But what's a minor discrepancy like that between friends when there's a good story afoot ![]() Ta ra 'wan, Ieuan "Manguzi, New South Wales" ab Arthur

Just to be nitpicky, one could also argue there's a whole world of difference created when you insert a "yet" that wasn't there on the original article.

Just to be nitpicky, one could also argue that there's almost a world of distance between South Africa and Australia (which is the purpose of this thread, after all).

Comment: Concerning the United Kingdom removing the Holocaust from their
teaching curriculum... http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/holocaust.asp and the small mention about UK (the University of Kentucky). Can you add in a link to the University of Kentucky's Judaic Studies department which clearly shows we are still very much teaching about the Holocaust? |

Comment: Is it true that Starbucks coffee refused to send their coffee to
the troops in Iran because they do not support the war or the troops fighting there? |
