quote:Originally posted by Stormy:Sip, 9-11 was a result of resentment against America. Resentment is growing. Nothing is being prevented. If anything, I fear it might get worse. I'd rather be telling Bushtapo as he is than be so-called "far-sighted." Yes, let's get this out of the way ... BUSH is in fact the biggest dumb ass that has ever lived on the face of the planet... I became very sure of that the first time he opened his mouth and tried to say something coherent ... and amazingly enough, the list does include the likes of Latoya Jackson and the Spice Girls (but Bush still is at the top). However, I think once again propaganda, political mumbo jumbo, and individual agendas are completely overshadowing the reality of what is going on. I can clearly see and feel the brainwashing and the anti-US sentiments that are being fed to the people in those parts of the world... and why not ... the people in charge are clearly threatened by how US can easily undermine their positions. I am sure more 9/11 will take place. It is going to get a lot worse before things get better. But at least in this case, I don't question bush's actions .. I do question his motives ... but I am convinced in the end, the actions are correct. [ March 22, 2003, 12:38 PM: Message edited by: Sip ]

Oh just to clarify, I was making a joke about the oil thing (wasting gas directly because of stupid protesters bitching) and that's why I put it in the humor thread. But I am not joking about the rest.

quote:Originally posted by Stormy:Sip, people are dying; you might just as well thank your luck you lost a little time and some gas.... Don't get me wrong, I am NOT making light of the situation. I know full well what war is like ... I know very well what it feels like to have bombs dropped on your head. I am fully convinced I know a lot more about it than these winey pricks lining up on the streets screaming for peace when they have no idea what they are actually talking about. However, I am convinced the outcome of this war will most likely be much better than if it didn't take place at all. We cannot be so shortsighted ... preventing just a few (or a few thousand) deaths today will not necessarily mean a better future. Actually, the way things are, I think it would mean quite the opposite. WE MUST act with the future in mind ... NOT the present. Although no one knows the future, shortsightedness can be a HORRIBLEY crippling force in life. [ March 22, 2003, 12:25 PM: Message edited by: Sip ]

quote:Originally posted by Accelerated:Sip, dont put words into my mouth, and the ONLY difference between this war and German tactiks in the Second World War, is the availability (in large numbers) of these 'precision weapons'. Well, sounded like that's what you were implying. Otherwise I don't see the relevance of what one idiot soldier did to the rest of the historical stuff. By the way, having "precision" weapons makes a HUGE difference ... wouldn't you say? It may be the "only" difference but it's a very very very big one!

Just to be fair, here is a direct quote from a "pro-bush" supporter/war protestor I just heard on TV: "I am not for war but I support our president who I believe God put in power ..." WTF?!!! I sometimes just wish the whole world would blow up putting an end to this bull cause there is clearly no hope [ March 22, 2003, 01:02 PM: Message edited by: Sip ]

I couldn't come up with something good without insulting Azat or vava but you get the point I hope.

These freaking protesters piss me off. They are so damn stupid, it's not even funny. In the past couple of days I have wasted about 2 hours of my life and several gallons of gas because these stupid dumb ass protestors thought they can accomplish something by blocking the streets in West LA in front of the federal building. Don't they realize they were directly supporting terrorism and our dependence on foreign oil by making me sit there in traffic in my SUV? They are such narrowminded and so hung up on their "peace", and smoking weed, and hugging trees that I just wanted to get out of my car and bitch slap a few of them.

I can say stuff like this since 1) I am an American and 2) it is very unlikely for the french to come and kick my butt for making jokes in their names And as far as the Germans, I may not have been there but I heard they rolled right through France without much opposition. Domino, looking forward to hearing it.

quote:Originally posted by nairi:Sipan with his busy brain again Fasting in English comes from the Old English foestan, "to observe", which I'm sure you (could) have found out yourself... ... yah, I'm sure it would have just occured to me if I thought hard enough that I should look for "foestan" in my Old English Dictionary that I have laying around amidst my vast collection of ancinent texts and scrolls But thanks for the clarification! Also, very Interesting point stormy ... I didn't realize that connection till now. It had just assumed that breakfast is termed such since most people get up late in the morning and are in a rush and thus need to "break-fast" to eat something quick. This place is freaking great!!!! They just don't teach stuff like this in school.

You know, this just struck me ... why do they call it fasting when if you don't eat, in fact you will be slowing down much more than fasting. Sounds to me like slowing is a much more appropriate term for fasting.

If you happen to be at a certain restaurant with a few friends trying to watch a certain basketball game and around the 3rd quarter you realize you are done with your beer and main course and they are about to kick you out since there are a whole bunch of people waiting for tables to open up, DO order the BIG desert, but keep in mind that you don't necessarily have to eat it ... just ordering it is probably enough to prevent them from kicking you out before the end of the game. I wish someone had told me this before. http://zr2.cs.ucla.edu/hf/sick.gif [ March 20, 2003, 10:58 PM: Message edited by: Sip ]

What guest book site? But whichever guestbook site you are talking about, I would definitely assume that ANY message is subject to deletion. You can't really "ban" people from guest book type places since there is really no "membership" involved. Guest book pages are often meant to record a single message from someone viewing a site ... they are usually not meant to hold on-going discussions like in forums. In any case, I would assume the owner or the admin of the guest book would be the one doing all the deciding.

It was funny that I discovered the truth about Santa Clause much before I discovered the truth about God and Jesus and all that biblical stuff. Want to talk about abuse? How about the fact that I was in my early teens before I discovered I had been lied to my whole life and basically my entire belief system was based on word of mouth passed on from generation to generation, mainly by these clergy people?

Believe it or not, one reason I applied to some texas universities like Rice and UT Austin is the gun laws in texas and how easy it is to get a concealed carry license there. California gun control laws are simply STUPID. You can own a blue SIG 228 but not a silver one. You can get the 9mm and the 45 of a certain gun but not the 357. All sorts of idiotic crap like that. On top of that, now you have to have a california approved trigger lock!!! WTF is that all about? You buy a gun, it COMES with a trigger lock ... but nooooooooooo ... you have to pay an extra $15 to get the special super duper california approved lock which looks and works just like the lock that already comes with your gun. That is just WHACK
