vava Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Sadly that is what the media would consider "played out". They are more interested in petty scandals and boobs and Howard Dean's speech. When is this going to stop? Oh, I don't think it's ever going to stop...

angel4hope Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 It's just a stunt to distract the Hollywood soaked following masses from the more important issues. Ever notice hardly anyone talks about Saddam or "Operation Iraqi Freedom"? very true...just another publicity stunt to distract the mass.... and i actually remember it first being called (O)peration (I)raqui (L)iberation...and and what does that spell??? OIL yes OIL isnt that a bit weird? talk about the subconscious/"unconscious mind eh?..and what ever happened to "liberating" the iraqui's? its all about national powers in battle with one another...oil and the pull for democracy in other countries too...they should actually change the so called name "democracy" call it something else...cause this sure as hell isnt what id say is democracy!

gevo27 Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 i beleive what bush is doing isnt selfish, its not for his oil companies. he is acutally trying to liberate iraq, we see that by still having hope in the democracy he is trying to establish there, even though inoccent american lives are being taken... I dont see why he is blamed for the war anyways, the senate and congress are who declare war and provide the money, and they sure as hell know more than i do.....

Stormig Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 (edited) Gevo, you're still there? Why, Bush is so benevolent, he will pour money he could pour into public education, etc. (American citizens know their shortcomings better than I do), into Iraq. Before that it was Afghanistan. Next in line ought to be Iran and North Korea. Thing is, I don't understand why North Korea didn't go first. Geo-political issues? The possibility that they have the nukes? I think not. The freaking North Koreans have been maintaining a massive army and starving and depriving their population for DECADES. It took a blockade for people to pay attention to Saddam's palaces and his Amerikanski-sanctified massacres from DECADES ago. "WMD, WMD, he's a danger to the U.S." What BS. Iraq was occupied in a state unable to defend itself from invasion, let alone pose the U.S. or even Iraq's own neighbours a threat, killing plenty of Iraqis in the process of "annihilation of military targets with surgical accuracy" (with strays into farmland in Turkey to the north) as we know the case to have been in Afghanistan and in fact making a target out of American soldiers - delivered to the crazed Iraqis on a silver platter. How ironic. It is not a matter of how many Iraqis would have been killed if Saddam had continued in power - it is a matter of whom by. And don't forget - the U.S. used to LOVE Saddam. While Bush is sacrificing his population's education, health care, etc., for the liberation of Iraqis, everyone except for contractor companies happens to lose. Nothing bizarre about that - these mishaps happen in war, sometimes. Bush is the kind of feudal-like ruling "leader" any country would die to have. How many €€€ for his transfer, please? And also Congress et al., please - isn't it lovely how contractors are strictly restricted to "allies" versus economic preferentialism? If anything, it should be the U.S. that should be liberated. Believe me, for all your creature comforts and system, you are also very, very, very, terribly sad. I can't believe what reasons the average Joe must have to make excuses for this BS. Now someone go liberate the U.S., just as simple as that. Edited February 11, 2004 by Stormig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anileve Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 > >A special story for special people Such a special Christian story, which evolved into a chain letter. If my best friend hits me, he'll get a serious whipping and then we will all laugh together at the redness that formed where the back loses its noble name. Impression of the day: Who the hell has the time to sit and write silly chain letters? You know, the ones that usually end with the final curse: "If you do not forward it to others, it means you have an evil heart" or "you will have 10 years of bad sex life"... <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gevo27 Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 ok, For Stormy and Anonymouse::: I dont wanna go into arguements over bush in here, there is a nother thread for that, i started a while back.. But... You guy are to quick to blame bush and the war for the inadecuacy of our education system. Remember our governer a few months ago? He was the one who led CA to its problems. Everywhere else the education system is as it has been for quite some time now. The money Bush has gotten permission to use from the congress is money that was going to be spent on preserving the agendas of each senator and congressman.. I do not want to list any here.. If you have an argument to make, look at all the facts and know for sure what the money he is using was otherwise gonna be used for. It is a rediculous list, and only satisfies the homelands mostly, of the budget writers.... before you go to argu on education.... CA is the worst right now in that sense, and it is not Bushes fault, it is Davi's fault, he claimed millions of dollars to bogus uneeded prjects that have no signifiacne on the quality of life for us, or our negibors.. again, read the lists, im sure you will have to agree with me, this isnt information i am making up, this is information thats factual, its part of history now for further bush discussions, lets keep it in the right thread, cause i just feela mod telling us that anywyas LOL...

gevo27 Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Here is an impression... Life can miserably suck sometimes. and nomatter how hard you try to make yourself feel better by saying "itl pass" or "its no big deal" it doesnt help. People that seem like friends will ignore you, people you love will deceive you, friends who love you in your own defiance will turn away from you. A girl you like will pass before you, and you wil lbe speechless, and then it will be to lat. Materialistic bullshi** makes no difference. a 28 thousand dollar truck wont cheer you up. your parents will **seems purposly** disagree and criticise everything you say and do. A computer becomes the means in which you releive some stress, or hope that it will releive some stress... your state of mind becomes so screwed up with a million different thaugths, and a thousand things to do, you loose syntax and confuse yourself. this day has made me paranoid......everything is annoying to the extreme, the stupidy of 85 years old drivers. the slowness of a red light. the stupid questions of fellow workers.. The slow lines at home depot, the inability to stock items correctly at lowes. In the end, there is no end. days like this is what screw up my perception of life. and when it over, you hope the next day you wont wake up so paranoid.. but, the worst part is when "friends" becomes a general term to describe people who are more like, collegues, not friends... people who you have been an angel to and have no reason to be otherwise, yet ignorance is what they breath! Iv had enough of this day... and its only 1:24 on a Sat, why me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormig Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Sometimes when people "argue" or even merely "discuss" with you it is better to shut up and put it behind you, because after a point you will end up with no choice other than telling them how stupid they are. That's my impression of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe so - though it appears that you are expressing disatisfaction and perhaps even intolerance (of slow old people at least...haven't you heard or passing..or if not possible - patience)...LOL..anyway just messing with you..but in my mind a good christian is someone who is less concerned with his own situation and is more concerned with that of others...or am I reading the wrong passages perhaps?
