skydyvr 0 #128 March 18, 2003 QuoteI am not Jesus, I don't sacrifice. Neither you are. Please don't tell me that you are sacrificing anything. You have a job. You are paid for it. Being paid for performing service is no sacrifice. If you die in combat, your kids get a flag, your wife gets a big check. Death in combat is one of the risks in your job description. It is not a sacrifice. Once again I reming you that you voluntarily signed up for a pay check. Don't you "sacrifice" me. Go do your job, cause you are being paid for it. Dude, just because you don't possess a value system that includes the desire to defend Truth, Justice, and The American Way of Life doesn't mean other people don't. A lot of Americans have SACRIFICED their lives for you, and you spit on them. . . =(_8^(1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mountainman 0 #130 March 18, 2003 Quote By the way Robert...I hate cheap attire. My work clothing is custom tailored for me by Cerutti in Milan, my shoes are made to measure by Vasz in Budapest, I design my shirts myself and have them tailored in Poland, made of Egyptian cotton. I drink good French and Italian wines and smoke Cuban cigars...you see I like to pamper myself. You chose your way of earning a living, I chose mine. Yo each according to his own abilities, so don't boast baby By the way Jraf...I love cheap attire. My work clothing is custom tailored for me by small, poor Thai children in Asia, my shoes are made to measure by Skil saws in the USA, I design my shirts myself when they're old with scissors and have them bought from Goodwill, made of polycotton blends and mesh. I drink cheap wine from a box and smoke Black and Milds like a chimney...you see I like to pamper myself, as well. http://www.brandonandlaura.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerry81 10 #132 March 18, 2003 I watched Jackass; The Movie last week. That, and this discussion made me realize there's really very little hope for the US. You have yet to reach maturity as a nation, but this adolescence of yours has already taken a wrong turn somewhere. I'm sorry your system functions the way it does. I'm sorry things are turning out this way. I feel sorry for all the Americans who still feel their country is the best possible one. I'm sorry for all the lives that will be lost. I'm sorry to say I hope only the USA will bear the consequences of its actions. The world seems so bad at the moment and I am so sad... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mountainman 0 #134 March 18, 2003 I'm sorry you live in Slovenia. Is that county a whole lot better ? edit: Hmm... coming from someone who lives in a country that is 12 years old. Someone who's government controls 45% of all economy and has an inflation rate of 8.4% ? Hmm. I think I now feel sorry for YOU. I think you should move to the US. http://www.brandonandlaura.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,517 #139 March 18, 2003 My PC at home is sick, so I just read this whole thread. [sarcasm] how wonderful we're going to war. We get to show the rest of the world what badass dudes we are. We've proven our power by helping to discredit the UN (after all, they didn't serve OUR purpose), and now we're going to go kick Saddam's ass. Tommorrow can take care of itself. No other country is as wise or mature as we are, because we can kick the shit out of them, and that's what really counts. Anyway, we have more money and bigger cars, so we must be better. [/sarcasm] There. I feel better now. That said, I support our troops, but I think we're trying to prove our strength by playing King of the Mountain. I've been seeing stuff about the FBI paying special attention to Arab Muslims in the US. This is closer to our having "relocated" the Nisei during WW2. No, we haven't dispossessed them en masse yet, but how many people here would support that if GWB were to say it was necessary? Folks, you're being offered a choice of the red socks or the green socks. That's what parents do with children to make them think they have some control. Out there we still have the blue socks, and sandals. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meatmissile 0 #141 March 18, 2003 QuoteHmm... coming from someone who lives in a country that is 12 years old. Someone who's government controls 45% of all economy and has an inflation rate of 8.4% ? Hmm. Well, all of us "others" like our countries. I think that the difference is that we are mostly open to see ways in which things can be improved. I don't cling to a childish belief that my country is perfect. Sometimes I criticise her policies. QuoteI'm sorry you live in Slovenia. Is that county a whole lot better ? It probably depends on what standards you apply. Don't assume that your standards are those of the entire world. Leave room for different cultures and ways of thinking. PS. I live in South Africa. I have been to most parts of the world, including the US. Where have you been? -- ZZZzzzz.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,517 #142 March 18, 2003 That's offensive. Not everyone thinks that what we have is ideal, and some people want to work within their system to make their country what they want it to be.

Genie 0 #148 March 18, 2003 QuoteQuote>what do you propose we do. Get agreement on a deadline from the UN. Enforce it. If he disarms, great. He probably won't. If that's the case, then use force to disarm him. QuoteOnce summer hits Iraq, our hands are tied by the weather. So, how long would you give him? Not to mention that Mr Bush will have to get on te campaign trail sometime soon if he wants to go for a second term - isnt that right? Genie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 273 #150 March 18, 2003 QuoteCan we add a #5? 5) No war or political threads. None. Period. Would make my life as a greenie much easier... but I don't think that's needed. What's needed is for people to attack the issue and not the person expressing their opinion and to think before hitting the post button. The nastiness we see here is a reflection of what's going on all over the US and around the world... and it's the prime reason I'm against this "war."
