Thoughts on the British Pullout
(02.28.2007) - Joshua White
|
| Recently Tony Blair told the world that his troops would be soon going home. Not only am I unconvinced that he has given terrible reasons for leaving, but I think that he\'s a hypocrite for doing so. |

Is Using IEDs An Honorable Wartime Weapon?
(02.21.2007) - Joshua White
|
| There is a sense that those who use IEDs are less than perfect wartime combatants. Is this feeling that we have correct? Or is it possible that our enemies are just fighting us using every moral means possible? |

(02.14.2007) - Joshua White
|
| In the longest column I have ever written I discuss Valentine\'s Day, feedback, and write an original column. But don\'t be scared by the length, I have included a table of contents! |

Why the Definition of Rape Matters
(02.07.2007) - Joshua White
|
| Maryland\'s Court of Special Appeals has defined \"rape\" in a very peculiar and disturbing way. Until you\'re fully confident that you want to have sex, women, I suggest you stay away from this state. |

Gay Parents? How Fabulous!
(12.20.2006) - Joshua White
|
| In a Time magazine online editorial James Dobson explains why he thinks that gay couples should not be parents to children. Allow me to explain to you why he\'s wrong and I\'m right. |

Those Silly Jews
(12.13.2006) - Joshua White
|
| This week 7 Jews have made news because of the \"freedom of speech.\" One uses it incorrectly, six uses it correctly and all of them upset me. |

Why You Can Swear On The Koran But Not On
(12.07.2006) - Joshua White
|
| Keith Ellison wants to be ceremonially sworn in using the Koran. Conservative columnist and talk-show host Dennis Prager thinks that this is a divisive act against our country. Believe in me and I will tell you who is correct. |

The N-Word
(11.22.2006) - Joshua White
|
| People say offensive things. Why can\'t we discuss what they say explicitly? |

Advice To The Democrats
(11.15.2006) - Joshua White
|
| In order for the Democrats to maintain power they may have to do some things that they don\'t necessarily want to. If you Dems want to keep power, then you should follow these four pieces of advice. |

The Two P\'s of Mark Foley
(10.11.2006) - Joshua White
|
| Lately words have been used that are very poorly defined. In this column, I\'ll ask some questions about these terms and see how their implications affect our understanding of Mark Foley. |

Can We Talk to Muslims?
(09.20.2006) - Joshua White
|
| Besides the loss of life, destruction of property, and bad reputation that Muslims are garnering in response to the Pope\'s speech, another problem is that they are convincing me that I can\'t hold a discussion with them. |

Defining Heroism
(06.28.2006) - Joshua White
|
| Four almost five years now people have been referring to those those who died on 9/11 are heroes. Not all people who die are heroes. In this column I attempt to give a better definition of what true heroism is. |

Straight Talking About Homosexuality
(06.07.2006) - Joshua White
|
| Recently President Bush declared that the term \"marriage\" should be defined as one man and one woman. Does that mean that Bush wouldn\'t mind if a gay man and a lesbian married? |

The Self-Defeating Democracy
(05.31.2006) - Joshua White
|
Hypothetically it seems a Democratically-elected Congress could add any clause it would like to the Constitution. Similarly, the same Congress could take away any particular other portion. Isn\'t it then possible for Democracy and the Constitution, working in tandem, to destroy itself?

Abu Ghraib Revisited
(05.24.2006) - Joshua White
|
| This past Monday Sgt. Santos Cardona went on trial for abusing and torturing inmates at Abu Ghraib using his German shepherd. That is not torture. Make these prisoners have a discussion with my wife about the feminist themes of Jane Austen\'s Pride and Prejudice ...THAT is torture! |

(05.17.2006) - Joshua White
|
