Ron 10 #76 January 25, 2005 QuoteLet´s say that i havent found many positive references about Spain, France or Germany in SC. Before or after one of them attacks first? QuoteYou are talking like America is its government, its foreign policy, its gun stance or a combination of all. America is a combination of all of that and more...You seem to enjoy bashing parts of it. If I called your sister ugly, would that bother you? Its your sister, not you. Still it would most likley upset you."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron 10 #77 January 25, 2005 QuoteRon, I feel you are being overly agressive towards me. Does that mean you actually are being overly agressive towards me? When I see your name on a post most times there is an anti-American bash in it. So since I see your name and it almost always has an anti-American bash I FEEL that you like to Bash America. If you feel I am agressive towards you....That must mean that at some time I was, or you are over sensitive. Either way at some point there was an event that made you think that way. QuoteFrom memory he stated that noone was actually rude to him, he just felt snubbed. Snubbing someone IS rude. QuoteMaybe you would like to dig up the original post and we can take this conversation to a new level of pettiness. Why? you will just defend yourself even when you are attacking others. Quote -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So you claim that ALL Europeans are not something, but ALL Americans are... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No Ron I didn't say that You said EXACTLY that. Do you deny you wrote this?: QuoteEuropeans are not as gregarious as you guys Then you say this: QuoteIt is reasonable to characterise people from a particular nation as having certain traits. Amd then you say this: QuoteIt doesn't mean everyone from that nation has them, only many of them do. So I guess it is only OK for YOU to paint with a broad brush. He felt snubbed. You claim he was not. How would you know?"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poison gas. 300,000 dead. Remember and pray for the Kurds How can you put Bush in the same league as Hitler, Ghengis Khan, Mussolini, Saddam, Caligula, Nero. I wasn't really comparing him the leaders you have listed. I was implying that it is basically a job description. I would hate to make the choices he has to make, but your gasing kurds statement ? The kurds tribes kill each other when they're not united against Sadam and I think they were gassed after they helped US in Desert Storm... Again Sadam was no threat to US... If we cared about the people we would be in the Sudan and other regions helping people and were not because they don't have the 4th largest OIL reserve.

rhys 0 #97 January 26, 2005 QuoteOh goodie, yet another "all about oil" believer. Maybe you're the one who can correlate our actions in Iraq thus far to the taking of their oil. Better yet, maybe you're the one who can finally explain why we don't just invade Venezuala, owner of the THIRD largest oil reserves, and who is also much weaker and closer to the US than Iraq. i'm am an, all about oil believer too! and a U.S. basher! i'm not a bad person or closed minded! I just see a greedy country showing off all its glory, hiding all its evil and consuming far too many resources. this makes me very angry on a daily basis . I think it is my right to voice my opinion because our world is fucked and the U.S. is making sure it's fucked even sooner than it needs to be with it's wanky veto's etc. who give the U.S. the right to veto the kyoto proticol etc. the U.S. is only a few hundred years old and needs to assume the world (as we know it)is going to last longer than it really is and start looking after the fucken thing. i know many other couintries are just as bad if not worse but the U.S. has the image of the 'on to it' country that leads the world and the U.S. is always claiming to be the most powerful country in the world! bullshit. many countries have history over 1000 years but are not big fat consumers that don't know the meaning of the word ECONOMY (bet you thought of money then didn't you,greedy bastard, look in the dictionary at the '1st' meaning of the word) go find some nature(if you can?), learn to appreciate it and it's millons of years or history, then you might realise what, 'all about oil' and 'U.S. bashers' are actually on about! if that doesn't work just take a whole load of mushrooms and you will become a U.S. basher too(you'll see a bit too much reality for your own liking) i don't hate american people. just the govornment the way they treat the world everyone has to live here."When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites mnealtx 0 #98 January 26, 2005 Quotejust take a whole load of mushrooms Well, that explains most of the posts....
