      Native Americans did battles a lot of times against other bands iby method of counting coup. They'd rap the opponent with a coup stick, and it would count as a point.
      Pretty civilized.

        Yeah, right. That's probably why they fear a referendum.

        I love those who always know what the majority wants and don't need to ask the people for their opinion.

            Other bands of Indians. Not white eyes.

                Naw, they did it against Custer and other white eyes too. It showed utter distain for the fighting abilities of the opponent.

                  Look, the fact is that I had some time to kill back in '89, when I single-handedly invaded panama and arrested Noreiga, and I used it to study Honduran constitutional law. It ain't legal.

                    Wasn't that like two constitutions ago in Honduran terms? These countries aren't exactly stable.

                        Now if the Honduran Military had pretended Zelaya had WMDs, everything would be OK...
                        Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

                          Like many immigrants he changed his name when he got to the US, nicknames sort of. His birth name was Barack but in school people called him Barry, see his HS photo, he didn't like it and decided to revert back to his father's and given name, Barack. I spell it Berry, as in black berry or fruit that I don't like. Similar to the opposition of Bush who called him "shrub" or "herb" so go ahead and say I am racist, cause I am just using the same tactics that was used against Bush. I mean, come on, this guy gives his opposition new reasons to oppose him every day...why would we play fair if they didn't during the Bush reign?

                          Back to the point on the table, most of you seem to oppose (side with Obama) the Honduran legal coup calling it illegal. Good for you, you can follow the leader. I happen to see that a Supreme Court ruling and Congressional call for removal of a president who planned to out live his term as legal. Like I said, that everyone avoided, what would you all say if Berry decided he was going to just say '**** you, I'm stayin'? Would anyone think he is within his right? When the law there states 1 term and Zelaya wanted to stay longer...thats right? His removal is illegal?
