riddler 0 #51 February 25, 2003 Quotebeing human blows, thats why we skydive, to be more like a different species! I kind of like this idea. Why don't skydivers declare themselves a new species and dedicate themselves to learning to fly? If I start flapping my arms now, I might make a difference. Maybe I'll have kids - assuming Social Services doesn't try to take them away because of all the arm flapping - and I'll teach them the best way to flap their arms. If they practice every day, they might actually get an inch or two off the ground. If they teach it to THEIR kids, they might do a little better. Within a few dozen generations, we could probably do it. Birds started out as land-walking dinosaurs, you know.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

harryskydives 0 #52 February 25, 2003 If not you can thank my ancestor. I don't want to run into a infantile debate, just try to understand and look around you. Do not think US is the center of the world and that every body should follow them with they eyes closed. I to am from British ( if you go far enough back) and Irish decent. i also bi*ch about US policy. Although I would like to see some intelligent comments on my point #3) Why do you hate the Iraqi people so much? What if the US just fought Japan, and decided to debate Hitler in an anti US setting like the UN Securities Council? Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...

billvon 3,067 #54 February 25, 2003 >3) Why do you hate the Iraqi people so much? One might well ask why you seem so eager to start a war that will result in 100,000+ Iraqi deaths. If hating them means letting them live, then I'd bet a lot of Iraqis would prefer your hate to your 'love'. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had no choice but to enter the war at that point. So I think the question is moot. That was WWI - The Lucitania was sunk in 1915. It was a British liner and 128 Americans perished. Germany restrained its submarine warfare, but later lifted it in 1917. That action, along with the Zimmerman letter released in March 1917 which could've aligned Mexico against the US then caused the US to fight in WWI.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

cgross 1 #72 February 26, 2003 Everything you say is true, but this too is also true. France used to be a colonizing country, and now it is not. France is weak, very weak, and they are looking for there big moment in the sun. There was a time when france had influence and now they don't. What they are trying to do is proove to themseves is that they still have world dominance. It is like Napolean disease. The little man has to put up a big talking game to convince themselves they are not small and weak and reliant on the rest of the world!!!! My opinion of course.

harryskydives 0 #74 February 26, 2003 And why is'nt Iraq afforded that same right. to protect their interests. History 1992: saddam lost that right after invading 2 of his neighbors, firing missiles at 5 of his neighbors, killing thousands of innocent people, gassing, tourturing, murdering 100's of his own people, causing the largest manmade ecological disaster in our lifeime. He lost he war he started:The Gulf Coalition pulled out after he surrendered and promised to destroy all his weapons of mass destruction.

wmw999 2,532 #75 February 26, 2003 QuoteFrance is weak, very weak, Consider that most of us are weak, very weak, individually. Me, I'm not large at all, and I don't know karate or have any machine weapons. If somone were to try to mug me, I'd let them have whatever possession they wanted. Does that make me weak? Does it make me inconsequential? Does it make me worth making fun of? Go ahead. Will it make all you guys feel better and stronger?
