The movie "300" is about the battle of Thermopylae where 300 Spartans stood up against the million-man persian invaders. If you dont know anything about this historian event, google "thermopylae" and/or see the movie (excellent movie).

If youve seen the movie, and have a brain, the symbolism couldnt have escaped you. To the credit of the producers, everything remains in vague metaphor and there is no sappy leftist "slap you in the face with condescending simple political messages". However, as great art should, the broader principles are nicely illustrated.

This was a real battle, between totalitarianism and the birth place of western civilization itself. Historians rightfully point out, that if the Spartans failed to cripple the Persian juggernaut, the world may never have known liberty or anything resembling the rights and freedoms western democracies enjoy today.

Xerxes totalitarianism is almost exactly like that of the Islamic state today..all under a religious premise.

I was wondering if I could sign my husband and I up on a list for On-Post Housing? Or do I have to do that when I get to the base?
We will be moving almost 6 hours from where we live now, so I was just curious. I am going to call tomorrow, but thought I'd ask in advance.
Also has anyone ever heard of Off-Post Housing/Housing Referral? Are they helpful?
This is the first time hubby and I are going to move to a base so I'm interested in anything anyone can give. Thanks so much.

(Re-question - last time noone has read the whole question it seems)
(PLEASE READ entirely and answer in consequence :) Thanks. )

I've collected some answers that were presented when asked about things such as: "How do you explain explosions heard at 9/11 site" or " why did WTC7 collapse when nothing hit it" ?

The answers were given here on yahoo answers. Please do take the time to read them.
After reading them, ask yourself:
"Are these people refusing to think or just simply are not able to?"
Wouldn't this suggest that they are either misinformed or refuse to think or simply ignorant?

Here are the answers that were given:

Instead of dragging this country through that pointless saga, could they have focused on issues that were more important to the nation as a whole?

I plan to spend a month in America, followed by 5 Months in Canada on a canadian work visa, then travel back over to america for another 3 months before flying to England. But I will be crossing the american/canadian border in a car. And I don't have evidence to support my promises of leaving the country when I enter the first time (like a plane ticket). Is there other ways of proving this?

Why is this, so many people told me that they could actually get me out of some things. The marine recruiter said as long as I wasn't on probation and paid my fines off, I could go immediately. Why is this waiting period for the army? I wnated to go navy, but I know they wouldn't take me yet. BUT WHY THE ARMY, I thought for sure I could go, I wanted to go soon. Please someone help me out that knows about this.

no other administration in the history of this country has systematically done more to squash freedom of speech than the bush administration. it is such a contradiction that they and those that still support his beliefs claim to be the only patriots and everyone else are liberal commies. to speak out against them is to either bring the wrath of their assaults or censorship.yes with them you can say what ever you want to say just as long it is what they want to hear. do other wise and they will sic the queen of insults on you (ANN COULTER). HECK i am probably flirting with being banned from this very forum just for exposing this, especially if yahoo is operated and ran by left wing conservatives. if so then you probably will never get to read this post. WHAT HYPOCRISY INDEED!!!!!!!!!!

I was in school when a girl hit me in the head with a exercise ball and I fell off the stage, hit my head and ended up with a neck sprain and concussion. The hospital put me off sports/weight training for a week. I could not try out for softball because of my injury. A girl I know has a injury also and her doctor has put off but she made the team, without going thru tryouts. She was on the team last year. I feel that I am being discriminated against, I don't want to sue I just want a chance to be treated equal. I did not ask to get hit in the head but it did happen. Everyone at my school tells me I need to get involved but then kicks me down, I am so confused.
I would love to go out for the softball team next year BUT I am a 10th grader and every year I don't play it drops my chances of making it go down really Bad. and basiclly I am just wanting to get to the bottom of the Truth is really all.
Also if anybody knows where I can get copies of the law that has to deal with this.

My history teacher claims that Nikita Khrushchev banged his shoe at the UN and shouted "We will bury you" at the damned capitalists. However, Wikipedia says that the shoe and "we wil bury you" are two difference incidents. He also said he saw a video of the incident, but I have found sources that say no videos or pictures of the incident exist, so I know his memory is somewhat fogged. Can someone help me prove him wrong by finding a reputable source that says that the two occurences happened at different times?

when Blacks first got the right to vote, the white-only primary served was established so that, though Black people could vote, they were not a part of choosing the candidates.

Was the New Hampshire primary and Iowa caucus the equivalent of that. Will those states loose influence now that California has moved thier primary up?

I met the most amazing guy ever. Unfortunetly, the day we met he was on his way to the air force base where he's currently stationed (approx 4 1/2 hrs from where I live). We spend hours on the phone 2gether although we've never spent any time 2gether actually 2gether. Its really frustrating b/c his family is about 1 1/2 hr from me and he visits them often. Finally, I called him out about why he doesn't come visit me when he's at home. He claims he's already getting attached to me and doesn't want that to get stronger b/4 he's deployed to iraq in a couple months for a 6 month tour. Supposedly the military has taught him endurance and patience so when he comes back we can actually have a real relationship. I really have feelings for this guy and definetly could be patient if I knew I had something to look forward to...HOWEVER. Is it possible he can actually be this patient or is he just leading me on?

For what? For vengeance. Yes before when they were in war with Mujahidin in Afghanistan USA claimed that they too support the Mujahidin. The war brought to a collapse of USSR.

Putin also declared that USA are now too arogant for being a sole superpower.

The war in Iraq is already 4 years. Look if the US is really prepared and capable to control the Muslim insurgents the can end the war earlier.

Will this all make Russia to support Muslim insurgent in Iraq?
