Artful Dodger: the Arab world stands near the bottom of every measure of human development. You are correct.. they are most definitely just about sub human. Something must be done...a Final Solution for these Semitic savages..what would you propose...mein Herr? Also we must find a way to free Ratko Mladic, surely he was only doing God's will.
Übergeek 바둑이: wow , you're very wrong, there is a viable left wing and Soros is part of it, but to say the U.S. media won't criticize is silly, that would be only because of Obama. When Bush was in it was free open season with attacks by the U.S. media, maybe they weren't vicious enough for your likings , but they were real bad, for the wars and everything else including how he dressed, talked and how his wife and children acted.The U.S. media censored and right wing??? just not so.but opinions are free, its probably because you are very left wing and all to the center seem like right wing and same for those on the right... any dissension to their or your views make those dissenting make them radical opposites
Artful Dodger: Don't worry, we are giving it back slowly ..thru the birthrate.. same as what is happening in Israel/Palestine.. Prepare yourselves for the ultimate melting pot in a few decades.. one world
Übergeek 바둑이: Maybe the U.S. should have done a Nick Berg style execution on bin laden. I t should have been total war from the start There are no civilians in total war.. check Al Bomber Harris in WW2 V can tell you about him and Dresden. As for Libya.. ask the British and french. They seemed so hot and heavy to get involved and start bombing..unlike in Bosnia at Gorazde and Srbrenica and other places.. I wonder at their motives
(V): and I'm sure Jefferson Davis and Oliver Cromwell would be thanking any coalition that bailed them out too. Just like the Taliban was so grateful for help against the Soviets in Afghanistan. Who knows who these rebels are...Again.. the U.S. should stay out of other civil wars. But I thought that the UK was Qaddafi's best buddy after that Lockerbie intrigue..how quickly things turn... oh and they"re not MY opinion .. they are German and UK..well Australian anyways, news articles..oh and yes..MSNBC.. that noted Republican news organ..(sarcasm intended).. I know since they don't meet someones agenda here ..some try to twist and discredit things here
Tuesday: I never cared about debates, this man was a war naval aviator who endured more than most of us and a long track record as a US sen.. to call him a craze is disrespectful and wrong. You may be right about Palin.. but I believe the republican machine picked her however.. if there were to be a revote NOW.. He might win
Artful Dodger: No population likes foreign troops. Even in Alaska, a lot of natives didn't care for U.S. Soldiers..That was my personal observation anyways
well, don't believe it all.. newspapers need to sell too... but don't believe them 100%.. every once in a while some jackass will get on a soapbox and say lets boycott this or that.. it never works
Mélusine: Actually, most people I know didn't take any of that boycott stuff seriously.In fact most Americans I know would buy anything from even invading Martians bent on destroying the Earth if it meant a better deal for themselves .. Anyways...Its not usually accurate to stereotype a nation of 300 million or so on their typical reactions. Nor is it usually accurate to take for granted what someone so anti American biased as one on this board to speak for a nation of 300 or so million. no offense intended to anyone.
Tuesday: I agree, he is a good man,sometimes the current events of the world at the time may be just the way it is, no matter who is running the show,Monday morning quarterbacks can say their guy or gal would be better, but who knows
Tuesday: If he is doing good for the economy as best he can.. then we all should prosper right?.. on another note.. In the state of PA.. the new Gov. agrees with the old Gov( Rendell) that oil companies drilling for shale oil shouldn't get taxed??? huh? sure make a profit ..take natural resources.. but don't get taxed?
opposing drilling for oil and forcing a health care package on the country when there is a recession or borderline depression on hand .....I don't think...I mean my economic skills ain't be as good as his or Rahm's.. it dont be seeming such a good idea
anyways...I thought it was the economy ...stupid..(not meaning anyone here)..Obama has really disappointed me with that... I know.. its a global world, but you can't blame bush anymore.. if so then why run for pres. in the first place? and please DONT SAY HE DIDN'T KNOW how bad it was, AND WASN'T INFORMED.. HE WAS A FREAKING SENATOR,and his party was the majority in the senate also.
and if you voted for any of these, are you not then an accessory war criminal? also every leader initiating any military action can be considered.Saddam attacked both Iran and kuwait, so was bush in his right to Attack another war criminal? The possibilities throughout history are endless depending on how one wants to twist things
Tuesday: Really, JFK? why?HE sent the Advisers and military into Vietnam..The bay of pigs could have been adverted, or won, but he choose otherwise. which led up to the missile crisis. but hey he was soooo good looking
Tuesday: and Bill Clinton was?or Joe Biden or JFK for that matter or w bush? Some one I know during Clinton's sex offender trials derided Paula Jones as trailer trash. I laughed and said and what is Bill? and check out his mother
What are the qualifications that would make a good president for the USA? What credentials? soundbites? How pretty he/she is? Does the camera like them?maybe dancing with the stars? or American Idol?
Its a shame, politicians, like others get judged by what they say ,rather than what they do. I was raised to believe that actions speak louder than words.Who cares if they speak with marbles in their mouths as long as they do the right stuff!
