I guess this means that some motivated students will be able to get a better education and extract themselves from the harmful / inadequate schools they were stuck in. What a concept!

We should have roving bands of police going from house to house, too, looking for code violations, pot smoking, illegal bee keeping, obscene barbecuing... Think of all the tickets and money the city would get if cops could just walk into your house and write you tickets for your infractions! What a wonderful world it would be!

Actually, the excerpt I quoted from the Wikipedia article says, explicitly, that: "The Crusades were fought mainly by Western European forces (taking place after the East-West Schism and mostly before the Protestant Reformation) against Muslims occupying the near east." So, my frame was obvious if you bothered to read what I quoted, instead of inserting the obviously extraneous information you jumped to in an attempt to obfuscate my central contention that the Crusades were a defensive action. As I've already stated, and as my quotation from Wikipedia definitely shows, I am concerned solely with the Western / Muslim kerfuffle in the Middle East. This is also what is most commonly thought of when people mention the Crusades. Quote: Your argument is that because what would become the Holy Roman Empire had once offensively taken control of the Holy Land then any military action to regain control of that land, hundreds of years down the line and after being conquered and retaken many times over, is defensive. It's not an argument in history, but an argument from history. And saying "what would become the Holy Roman Empire" is like trying to find a lineage between Ghenghis Khan and Mao. Quote: Put simply, if you're a pagan and you steal an apple from a Jew, the Jew steals it back, you steal it back from him, he steals it back from you, you steal it back from him, a couple of hundred years pass, you see a burning cross in the sky and you're now a Christian, a Muslim steals the apple, you steal it back, the Muslim steals it from you again, a few hundred years pass while a bunch of Muslims steal the apple from each other and you then decide that you now want back that apple that you initially stole from a Jew over 1000 years ago because it is culturally relevant to your adopted religion, then yes, that is an offensive act. You?re willing to somehow conflate the actual Roman empire with, 800 years later, the ?Holy Roman Empire,? but then disconnect them in terms of land ownership. Were they a monolithic entity existing as one throughout all time, or not? Which is it? Were the Christians feeding themselves to the lions? You?re ability to run off a time-line is amusing, but lacking depth, context, or nuance. What a joke! The frame is not a 1000 years, but, again referencing the excellent Wikipedia article, ?the Rashidun Caliphs had captured Jerusalem from Christian Byzantium in 638 AD, but had allowed Christians passage to Christian shrines. The less tolerant Seljuk Turks conquered the area from their Muslim neighbors in In 1065 AD and were continuing to expand into Anatolia. Pope Urban II called for the First Crusade at the Council of Clermont in 1095? roughly 425 years. And during that time, there was a constant barrage against Europe. A fantastic timeline of Muslim crusades can be found here: http://www.americanthinker.com/2005/1 ... about_islamic_crusad.html The idea that the Crusades were unprovoked or offensive is easily put to death by the facts of history. Quote:
I don?t recall mentioning any particular religious affiliations I may or may not have in this thread, and certainly haven't infused religion into the conversation at all. But it seems that in your extreme prejudice you can do nothing but. As for ?pro-life,? that descriptor is typically applied to those who are against abortion, and is certainly not properly used to describe those who don?t think EMTs should have the right to drown children at the whim of blowhards on JCLIST. Further, there are plenty of non-religious people who are themselves pro-life (atheist Nat Hentoff comes immediately to mind) or who deem abortion to be murder (if a necessary murder, as atheist Camille Paglia argues.) As for medical facts, I can only assume that if you had a child, and found him or her face-down in a swimming pool, you?d do everything you could to save that child?s life, regardless of any theories you might cling to in the luxury of your unchallenged rationalism

Huh? There's no ground for comparison. The Holy Land was conquered by the Moslem's, and the Europeans tried to reclaim it. If the 5 Nations, for example, waged a full-scale war on the US, then it'd be an apt comparison. I don't see your point.

I'll simplify it for you, Slacky.
And BTW, this has nothing to do with faith or no-faith. Just amazed at how people mis-quote history constantly. Whether or not you support the Catholic Church presently or historically is irrelevant. What is relevant is that Church-controlled land was occupied by Muslims, and, around 300 years later, the Church approved the secular reclamation of those lands. Or are you claiming that the Muslim seizure of the Holy Land was not an offensive act? Question - are current efforts by Palestinians to reclaim Palestine defensive or offensive? Muslim armies under the Rashidun Caliphs had captured Jerusalem from Christian Byzantium in 638 AD, but had allowed Christians passage to Christian shrines. The less tolerant Seljuk Turks conquered the area from their Muslim neighbors in In 1065 AD and were continuing to expand into Anatolia. Pope Urban II called for the First Crusade at the Council of Clermont in 1095 in response to a call for aid from the Byzantine Emperor Alexus I to halt both the harassment and murder of Christians and the destruction of Christian holy places and churches by the Turks. Simple history. The fact that long centuries past has no bearing on whether this was an offensive or defensive action. Finally, I was referring specifically to actions in the Holy Land, and not subsequent events that may be labeled Crusades as well. Simply put - if you steal my apple, and I try to take it back, am I acting offensively or defensively?

Quote:
From Wikipedia: Since the Middle Ages, wars sanctioned by the Roman Catholic Church undertaken in pursuance of a vow, and directed against infidels, i.e. against Muslims, pagans, heretics, or those under the ban of excommunication, have been called Crusades. The specific crusades to restore Christian control of the Holy Land were fought over a period of nearly 200 years, between 1095 and 1291. Other campaigns in Spain and Eastern Europe continued into the 15th century. The Crusades were fought mainly by Western European forces (taking place after the East-West Schism and mostly before the Protestant Reformation) against Muslims occupying the near east. Muslim armies under the Rashidun Caliphs had captured Jerusalem from Christian Byzantium in 638 AD, but had allowed Christians passage to Christian shrines.

It always amazes me that the self-proclaimed "brights," the positivists, utilitarians, nihilists, and science-fetishists, are the first to leap to the tired old rhetorical zombie of Godwin's Law, which, as usual, is an unfunny attempt to divert attention from a proper comparison by stating the equivalent of "there he goes, using the letter T again." I'm further amazed that a person who doesn't know the difference between a drowned person (i.e., a corpse) and a near-drowned person (i.e., someone who isn't a corpse) is still fighting an argument they lost for themselves in their opening volley. You've contradicted yourself, cherry-picked my rebuttals, resorted to ad hominem, all in the effort to defend your completely indefensible opinion that all little children found in bathtubs and feared dead should be entrusted to the Nihil rather than take the chance that they might be revived. Again, this from a person who doesn't even know the difference between ALIVE and DEAD! What ignoramuses like you don't realize is that your pop-nihilism (gleaned, I imagine, from a second-rate science education and vigorous masturbatory tussles on poor-man skeptics websites) is that it was the self-same arrogant (and barely thought out) nihilistic/utilitarian philosophies espoused by average persons such as yourself that, after sweeping the continent and Russia from the early 1800s on, paved the way for the state-centric and anti-human "science" dictatorships that arose in Germany and Russia. The anti-life "common knowledge" of the armchair philosopher was nothing more that the parroting of the much more complicated political propaganda of the feverish revolutionaries, and the end results are plain to history. As for the German connection, as any moderately educated person knows, the death camp and the gas chamber were first prototyped, under the code name T4, on the weak, the infirm - the "worthless eater," "life not worth living," the disabled, the brain damaged, and the wards of state, before being used for the physical destruction of the Jews. Do you deny, even now, that you'd rather they "let the poor darling die" than have her "burden the taxpayer with a life not worth living?" You are a zombie, a mirror image of a not-clever-then parrot of a philosophy you count as fresh. Well, your "fresh" philosophy, supposed insight, and selfish compassion (an oxymoron that causes internal chaos in higher minds, but I'm sure not in yours) is nothing more than the recapitulation of the popular opinion that allowed the apotheosis of a death cult in the personage of Adolph Hitler, and the emergence of literal hell on earth. But congratulate yourself on your good, common, sense. I'm sure it helps you sleep soundly at night.

More misinformation. There are doctors specifically working with victims of near-drowning, specifically in Germany. Also, from wikipedia: Drowning victims should be treated even if they have been submerged for a long time. The rule "no patient should be pronounced dead until warm and dead" applies. Children in particular have a good chance of survival in water up to 3 minutes, or 10 minutes in cold water (10 to 15 ?C or 50 to 60 ?F). Submersion in cold water can slow the metabolism drastically. There are rare but documented cases of survivable submersion for extreme lengths of time. In one case a child named Michelle Funk survived drowning after being submerged in cold water for 70 minutes. In another, an 18 year old man survived 38 minutes under water. This is known as cold water drowning. Please, don't any of you work in the medical profession or as EMS.
