American Thinker: Obama bows down to Saudi King (updated)[^] edit: check out the video starting at the :54 second mark Here's Mark Stryn's take on it: The American Super-Bower[^]
This picture[^] is worth a thousand words. So let me see if I understand American protocol in the age of Obama: The First Lady hugs Queen Elizabeth as if she's some granny at a seniors' center photo-op, but the President of this republic prostrates himself before King Abdullah as if he's a subject of the Saudi pseudo-Crown. This is a very weird presidency. But something tells me Abdullah won't be getting the discount DVD pack of Psycho and Lawrence Of Arabia.

"Americans do not bow to foreign monarchs because that act signified the monarch's power over his subjects." Is this all you have to worry about ?

You leftists are so strange: your sort care intensely about "sending signals," your sort care intensely about symbolism (and tokenism) when symbols don't matter; yet, when symbols *do* matter and when "sending (the proper) signals" are very important, your interest is always elsewhere.

My 'sort' ? I don't give a damn about any of those things. how about addressing me, instead of my 'sort' ?

If only I showed restraint and maturity in deciding which symbols to care about. Like Grilled Cheese Virgin Mary[^], Potato Chip Jesus[^], Fishstick Jesus[^], Rotten Grape Mary[^], Tree Mary[^], Mother Theresa Cinnamon Bun[^], Potato Mary[^], and of course Virgin Mary Cerebellum[^]. If only I wasn't so hung up on the symbolic insignificance of 77,300 scholarly articles [^] on the phenomenon of brain damage causing personality change.

Amusingly, linking back to my original comment, where I said 'why do you care about this stuff', is the OPPOSITE of proving that I care about them.

No, you only think in terms of stereotypes, you ignore anything that doesn't fit your little world view.

Personally, I've always thought of you as a dictionary order, case-sensitive, accent-sensitive sort.

Careful...I read somewhere that bubblesort is considered security risk on Vista systems.

I wonder how they know that the reverse isn't the case: personality change causing brain damage.

I guess they assumed that the brain damage was caused by the significant head trauma they all sustained. Are you convinced yet, though, that the mind is simply the sum of the chemical reactions occurring in your body?

And/or that lung cancer causes smoking. ;)

Why not? Brain damage and drug usage target only the brain, and yet have profound effects on the mind. How can the mind transcend the brain?

You surely don't really believe that. I have a fantastic imagination - I can imagine all the different ways that the world isn't, and never will be. Hey, I'm open to the idea of some currently undiscovered interaction between matter and mind-vapour, but it has to make sense. You can't just say that something undetectable exists, is intrinsically tied to clumps of neurons and violates numerous laws of physics by prompting uncountably many nerve impulses, just because. You also can't criticise me because I don't believe you.
