That's probably the worst difference.<br /><br />As I understand it, being a eunuch does NOT necessarily make you a coward, weak, or submissive -- this partly ties to when "it" was done... And many eunuchs are apparently quite nasty, for rather obvious reasons. You would probably not want one as an enemy. Some of them have even been fairly fierce warriors. One of the reason for them being eunuchs is that they were males who helped defend the harem, but were rendered unable to, um, "take advantage" of their privileged access. But they were still expected to be capable warriors.<br /><br />I think it's safe to say that "fierce warrior" and "dhimmi" only belong in a sentence like, "The dhimmi were killed by the fierce warriors", or "The dhimmi surrendered to the fierce warriors"... In this way, "dhimmi" is kind of remarkably like "French".<br /><br />:oPOBloodyHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992539380115488567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492310882851199969.post-19738498175664259752010-04-22T20:20:51.687-04:002010-04-22T20:20:51.687-04:00Went over to coyote blog - like the pic, even thou...Went over to coyote blog - like the pic, even though I consider coyotes lesser cousins of the wolf. <br /><br />As to eunuchs or dhimmi - I think the words interchangable.<br /><br />Patton was actually working for Pershing at the time of our foray into Mexico, if I recall correctly.

There's a great response in the comments section:<br /><br /><br /><b>Captain Obviousness</b>:<br /><br /><i>Sounds good to me! If they want the government to “Raise OUR Taxes” the government should pass a new tax only on the incomes of public union workers. From what I hear the multiplier on government spending is greater than one, so the government should be able to pay for public union worker salary increases with the new revenue generated by higher taxes on public union worker incomes. Keynes would be proud of their solution.</i>OBloodyHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992539380115488567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492310882851199969.post-1791170081269003382010-04-22T17:13:40.221-04:002010-04-22T17:13:40.221-04:00> They really can go pound sand.

And that's only in the sense of "demand" not getting neutered by some major economic or technical development, either of which is far more likely just around the corner than "Peak Oil".<br /><br />At this point Peak Oil is about as relevant and valid as AGW.OBloodyHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992539380115488567noreply@blogger.com
