The Usurper: I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, and I didn't say your posts were meaningless..just that maybe you should find a better forum to rant your drivel
The Usurper:Buts its not your duty to continually, yes and repeatedly, even redundant, redundant ,redundant try to ram it down our throats, or subtly insult as calling us naive, and be condescending as saying its understandable.
题目: Re:It's like when the USA bombed Dresden (sp) with fire bombs, it was not necessary but they did it.
(V): The USA??? .. how convenient you forgot Air Marshall Arthur "Bomber" Harris, only Britain's advocate of bombing civilian targets including Dresden. this make you guilty of purposely twisting historical events for your own agenda, which is obviously hating the USA. Its ok to hate, but you shouldn't be so blatant about it as to twist facts
题目: Re: Some preliminary observations of your post....
Czuch: czuch, I'm formally accusing you of being involved in the conspiracy to steal my chips in poker, along with fencer, both bushes, dick chaney, and the Queen of England
As bad as the U.S. maybe in a lot of issues, there is no other country that should look down their noses at the U.S.,especially in Europe, I know its a popular trend to blame America and be ever so ashamed to be an American ...(ahh that was sarcasm,) but too damn bad, look over the country's history, you will see a lot of ugliness, but then again, too damn bad.. yes we had slavery, yes we put Japanese in internment camps, yes even worse than those things have been done by Americans, yes the country has done bad things as a whole, but we are just being human, no less than any other country If we keeping scorecards, measure the US in the last 200 years against any other fair sized nation and tell me who has the right to cast the first stone? certainly not Europe, with Bosnia still fresh in memories.
Mr Kennedy, how did you manage to navigate your PT boat in front of a Japanese destroyer causing the destruction of your ship and death of your crew, even though your boat is twice as fast??? Were you below deck with some native girls???
题目: Re: Well what the Huck are two people who can only obtain minimum wage jobs doing having kids in the first place
Tuesday: If hollywood is where you look for education and or advice on national or world events, then good luck, american idol will be telling you how to vote
题目: Re: Well what the Huck are two people who can only obtain minimum wage jobs doing having kids in the first place
Czuch: are you purposely trying to humiliate him, denigrate him, take sound bites out of context, make insulting movies of him like they did for the last 8 years??? gee why not??
by the way what are we getting from the stimulus?? $800.00 or so?? is any one calling it taxcuts for the rich this time like the last few times we got it??? and why not??
题目: Re: Well what the Huck are two people who can only obtain minimum wage jobs doing having kids in the first place
Tuesday: yes, because my family's future depends on it, but i will blast him for every stutter , every time he misspeaks,every bad bill, and wasteful spending, and any mistake... its only fair
题目: Re: Well what the Huck are two people who can only obtain minimum wage jobs doing having kids in the first place
Czuch: I agree Czuch, i didn't care that much for Bush, but He was our president, what happened over the last 8 was disgusting.move on.org and that slob michael moore ran a disgusting smear campaign from day one.I'll say again, I rather would have had Clinton,but I'm glad we had Bush rather than that blowhard Gore and that stooge kerry
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123431418276770899.html Staged press conferences??? In my opinion He screwed even that up!!! I like the "nurses can't even read doctors handwriting on prescriptions" line as a reason as why health care is screwed up .also how he answered most questions with ,,"doing nothing is not an option" even though the reporters were addressing single topics.... he's dropping fast......and don't call me a racist, Its all fair
Jim Dandy: and these types are always fun to have around,, otherwise things would get boring!Jones and others are what sarcasm and eyerolling were invented for!
the stimulus package includes 300 million for"green" golf carts.. what happened here?? I hope he does better, but if he has to dance the dance of pelosi and crew... the Dow only dropped 400 points on news of the stimulus being passed... i guess they weren't very stimulated.
Well he sounded like a stumbling bumbling fool,, what was that ridiculous line about nurses not being able to read doctors prescriptions?That being his reason US has the worst health care system, and that poor school in SC where a train runs by and they have to stop teaching because of it??all his justification for the pork bill.. hopefully Rahm is running things ok.. and anyone notice how O kinda threw his VP under the Bus???
Artful Dodger: EXACTLY!!! like French told Jack Nicholson in "The Departed" " Its a Nation of Rats". No doubt there would be people spilling their guts I remember when Flt 800 blew up and some were saying it was a missile,, believe you me, there would have been 1000s lining up to sell their story
Vikings: Murtha is just one of many congressmen in PA,, Don't send them here.. thanks anyways.PA had its share of mariel boat criminals back when Carter let Fidel empty his jails! Gerlach is my rep.. he doesn't want them back!!!
题目: Re: Saddam.... dont kill anymore of your own people and dont make anymore bad weapons
Czuch: That was probably the real reason for the invasion,, but czuch, the USA in my opinion has no business forcing their "model" or ideals on other countries. Of course Saddam was a problem and needed to be dealt with eventually, sanctions never work and the UN oil for food deal, was criminal.But what a mess this was...and an ally? maybe for Iran
bin laden's capture won't end things, al qaida will eventually dry up and blow away if enough pressure is kept on them, like the red brigades and baader- meinoff gang and other stateless groups
I don't care for bush,, but again look at the choices... AL the Blowhard Gore??? John " reporting for duty" Kerry?consult with our allies about terrorism ? like France? yes they did have a successful operation against the terrorist Rainbow Warrior ship
题目: Re: Im not going to be as demanding as Anastasia LOL....name me 1/2 dozen benefits from what G Dubya has done for the world.
Artful Dodger: i agree, but some also would mention Hurricane Katrina.. and no doubt there was failure, but mayor nagin and his first responders were a disgrace.. a third of the police force deserted?? that's criminal and Governor Blanco??? my lord.. what a failure. funny how New Orleans preventive strategy has always been .."please don't let a hurricane hit here" there i got my shots in on that debacle.. but of course blame bush
题目: Re: I think it's safe to say you are wrong Jules, and need to restudy the history (ancient and modern) of the area, including who named it as a matter of when it was under government from another country.
Artful Dodger: well, you can label it anyway you want, but the fact is THEY are there and they are not going away,Obviously they are not going to submit or be cowered,and fighting will continue,and the birthrate for them (and most of the third world) is on their side, no matter how many Israel tries to import with those that have Jewish ancestry.Some one better start thinking strategically, because apartheid, mass deportations or even genocide won't work in this world anymore. The Pal's have world opinion on their side, and they exploit this. The situation won't just go away
Jim Dandy: not in 67, and what exactly were their motives during the Suez crisis in 56? But when a country wins a war it usually becomes problematic to occupy it for too long, even claiming it as their own doesn't work for long, of course unless they intend to exterminate or banish the local population.Sooner or later the birth rate will force a settlement...some what like South Africa. bad spelling
