Finster Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 Well sj, Yep, I'm sorry to say that, after all, I'm very blunt and to the point. If I were young enough, I would be enlisting as we speak. I believe in this cause and I don't say that to be crass or objectionable. I think that for the security of my nation, for that matter the entire world, SADAMN INSANE must go. However, he is not the only one... I think that their are many more to come. Let's not forget the cause. We are not trying to rule the world, we are trying to make it safe for our children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj993 Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 Sure I agree, it is a good idea for Saddam to be removed. hehe, it is not always a bad thing to be blunt and to the point. Acutally it just makes it easier to get to the point without all the political bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybergeek Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Stand proud Americans. Here's what a rational Canadian writes. TRIBUTE TO THE UNITED STATES This, from a Canadian newspaper, is worth sharing. America: The Good Neighbor. Widespread but only partial news coverage was given recently to a remarkable editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television Commentator. What follows is the full text of his trenchant remarks as printed in the Congressional Record: "This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the earth. Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States. When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it. When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United States that hurries in to help. This spring, 59 American communities were flattened by tornadoes. Nobody helped. The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped billions of dollars into discouraged countries. Now newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent, warmongering Americans. I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplane. Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all the International lines except Russia fly American Planes? Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman on the moon? When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are still broke. I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake. Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not one of those." Stand proud, America! Wear it proudly!! " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj993 Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 That is an excellent article cyber. Where did you find that? That is all good and true, but in the same instance that can be taken too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sj993 Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 LOL! hmm... that's a good question. I'm not sure myself right now. I'll have to think about it, too early right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnm Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 I was off on the date -It was written in 1973 - but it was Gordon Sinclair that wrote that piece.

cybergeek Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Think about this at the very least. George W. Bush is bringing the problem to the forefront. He's a great American and too many don't recognize that anymore. In a few weeks I'll be laughing in the face of the naysayers. Mark my words. You are wrong and America is right. We shall soon see. Get ready to Spin Liberal traitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finster Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Cybergeek! You 'DA man. I hear you. I say nuke'em and salt the land so nothing ever grows again! It is way past time that AMERICA takes it's place as the leader. Give these poor shrews a taste of freedom and perhaps they will cherish and respect it more than the liberal cry babys that are the wort on the *** of our society! As it has been said, "you never know what you had until you loose it" These liberals are not even that smart! However, I think that the Iraqi people would cherish any freedom that we bestow upon them. Much less the total freedom that they will have with Saddams head on a post! I say GO GO GO! We are way past due! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 This is one of the worst threads I have ever read in here...especally these last two posts. It started with a horrible title and subject in poor taste, got a mildy better (relatively) with some exchange on history, but most of the "kick their ***" mentality and lack of high reason is an embarrassment to the United States, a nation fast becoming so culturally unaware, it's painful. The Myopia runs deep and wide. kh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prodj101 Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 maybe time this discussion ended eh? or else cybergeek and finster can just send their bashing back and forth via email. it's just a little bit offensive to be called stupid for your beliefs (almost as bad as racial or religeous disrespect in the eyes of some). no matter how you cut it, you're calling someone else stupid, and a crybaby, and speaking for people when you don't have the full picture of the situation.

BLOOMIS914 Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 Mobilehomeless-----....."culturally unaware"..???????" I guess we should turn our backs on all the ruthless, totalitarian dictators like Sodomy Hussein, right. This "leader" of Iraq Gassed the Kurds, set up rape camps for the Kuwait women/Iraqi soldiers and used bio-weapons on his own people........I guess we should all just stick our collective head in the sand like the French and you liberals. You don't hear Kuwait crying about us kicking Iraq's *** do you? I guess Osodomy Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, Iraq and other Islamic fundamentalist freak groups are "culturally aware" right???? That's why they killed over 3,000 innocent people at the WTC/NYC, the Pentagon etc... I suppose we brought that on ourselves right? The US is always going around and killing innocent people in mass numbers around the globe (not). Europe and the Mid-east are scary places right now since no one over there has the balls (except England) to "do what is right" and exterminate evil people like Hitler, Saddam and Slobodan Milosevic. When are people gonna wake up????? It might be your loved one next on the plane that is taken down by some terrorist group. Do you think if we leave those folks alone that they won't kill more innocent Americans and others abroad?? It is part of their fanatical religion to kill Christians, Americans and democratic people/societies. Let the bombing begin!!!! My prediction is Saturday 2/15 the skies will open up in "not my Bag-hdad baby". Mobile homeless should make a statement and join the murderer lover convoy on their way over to Iraq and play the role as human shield for them.

sj993 Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 you apparently missed out on the part where mh mentioned lack of high reasoning. The "kick ***" mentality is the result of a LACK of higher reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBrennan Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 Bloomis----You need to wake-up. Hussein has no connections to the terrorists that attcked us. Yet you people keep saying he did. It's the old repeat the lie enough and people will believe it thing. So Hussein is bad to his own people, so what? It's none of our business. If we were to go around attacking every tinpot dictator who was cruel to his own people we'd be fighting wars constantly. Why don't we attack the Saudis, they have a Goddam king, what's worse than that? Are we going to attack every Latin American country that has a military takeover? Are we going to attack North Korea? Zimbabwe? Burma? Indonesia? Can you see the road your logic would lead us down? This entire thing is rooted in Bush trying to divert the American people away from the real economic problems in this country and the scandalous behavior of his cronies. Any astute person should be able to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkrop Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 uh, I believe the sitaution arises not from bush and his cronies trying to maintain some sort of control over the oil economy, ( Russia will soon out produce the Arab countries anyway) but rather in the nature of the Arab/Israeli relationship and our commitment to the continued existance of Israel.

RangerSix Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 All brutalists from Stalin, to Pol Pot to Slobadon to Bush have exacting, precise, well considered rationalizations. The man has been in office a little over two years and already some of you are putting him in the same boat with Stalin, Pol Pot and Slobodon? Shame on you! Well, since youre at it, you forgot one ... Haiti Somalia Iraq (Desert Fox) Sudan Serbia The end outcome of all rationalized brutalization is familiar - more oil, more diamonds, more redwood trees, more land, more of whatever it is we secretly coveted from the "infidels." Iraq is a pathetic punching bag. For those who imagine them a "threat" to the US, you are contradicting the entire credibility of 50 years of defense spending. If the US is so pathetically weak and undefendable as now being claimed - - when a 4th rate country with virtually NO effective way to project power across the globe is considered a "dire threat" then you would have to ask yourself this: "Why did the Reagan through Bush eras of massive "defense spending" yield so little in results? Matter of opinion I guess. I thinik they did a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
