> Hi, all. I have a project I'd like you to help me
with. I need some statistical data, so it would
be keen if you'd all take a minute or six to
answer the following five questions. Be as
terse or an verbose as you wish. And it would
help if you didn't read any other responses
before responding. Again, thank you for your
time.

> 1. Who is/was the Ayatollah Khomeini?

I can't remember. But then, I wasn't alive back
then. Was he the guy that guy involved with the
Iranian hostage crisis? Or was he the guy that
overthrew the regime we set up there. Or
something like that.

of China and the Peoples' Republic of China?
If so, what is it?

ROC = Taiwan, PRC = China as we know it.

why not?

Umm..good question. I don't see why not. I
mean, they have beliefs that affect moral and
ethical values, don't they? I don't know. I'm not
a pagan.

attack on the United States (committed by the
Arab terrorist group Al Qaeda) a response to
the United States' pro-Israel Middle East
policy? If so, why? If not, why not?

No, it was the Islamic world's hatred of all that
is not Islam, and the U.S. is the embodiment
of everything that is not Islam. Islam is an
expansionist/war-making religion, as history
as shown, and we stand in the way of that
goal. Sure, our policy towards Israel does not
help prevent anything like this, but I do not
think that the terrorist attack was a response
made *only* because we support Israel. The
hate us because we are successful, and not
Islamic.w

Procreation.

count as an excuse? I can't just say 'I don't
know, I'm just a kid', because, legally, I'm not a
kid anymore" Matthew
