Not only that, I've yet to see anyone in the Administration "beating the war drum." What's ironic here is, those that spend their time here day in and day out tearing America down, come rushing to the defense of Iran, who has America blood on their hands. I remember a year or so ago, when Iran illegally detained British soldiers. AGS was actually supporting Iran over his own country! This thread is proof positive that there is still plenty of room to invest in pharmaceuticals over the next twenty years and yield a high return.
guerilla: Personal attacks are extremely childish behavior and should not be supported or tolerated by mature adults. Following and supporting the rules is, in any reasonable system, the mature and correct way for an individual to behave. There is nothing immature or morally incorrect about following the rules and expecting the same behavior from your peers. There is also no defensible argument which supports the theory that making personal attacks qualifies as "working things out like adults."
I believe in tolerance towards Children by Adults. I also believe in supporting Children, particularly when they are small, and you have to cradle their heads, because their necks are not strong enough to support the weight of their enormous noggins. I believe in personal liberty and personal responsibility. If someone breaks the rules, they should be ready for the consequences. But that does not mean that all rules, or interpretations of the rules are altruistic. I agree. But I would rather work things out like adults than run to the moderator for help all of the time. I have been and am a forum mod on several forums. Things go much better when the members find their own equilibrium without oversight and intervention.
Perhaps the children should have their own forum? I have no interest in debating difficult issues with children who can do no better than scream idiocy. Personal attacks do not in any way qualify as "working things out like adults." The "equilibrium" which seems to have settled here is a constant stream of personal attacks -- without oversight or intervention. Yes, the forum members should behave like adults -- all on their own. But, alas, that isn't happening -- and wishing for it isn't going to make it happen. As the old saying goes: Shit in one hand and wish in another and see which fills up faster.
Will, I just believe in the fundamental goodness in everyone. Including you. This world needs more love. Free love. Heck, even man love if that is what it takes. Won't you love someone today?
Once again, I see this same pattern. We just saw it with d16man the other day. It doesn't add up. The premature victim card is just not as effective as it used to be.
I believe, instead, in judging people by their actions. In addition to being more accurate, it also tends to yield better results by encouraging good behavior. I am not all that enamored of people. I am even less enamored of men.
Jesus H Christ GTech most of the entire US Administration are beating the war drum. Your lover Bush is being exposed again for the utter lying buffoon that he truly is.
*sigh* This lame duck administration is almost gone anyways, thank god. They've not accomplished one thing, Bin Laden is still free, Iraq is a total mess and actually worse off than it was before. Oil prices have sky rocketted, the dollar is on a massive drop, the sub-prime loans are breaking millions of Americans, our "great country" view by other countries is destoryed. How anyone can support this administration is beyond me, this goes WAY beyond republican vs democrate beliefs.
I think they accomplished exactly one thing. Bush got Saddam executed. Probably the only really clear goal he had to start with anyway.
This whole thread is about one of the many things which this administration accomplished -- getting the homicidal Iranian government to at least temporarily halt the production of nuclear weapons.
I'm curious, does it hurt being hung by strings? Never seems to bother the paper puppets It is funny that NO ONE prior to 9\11 had these feelings or beliefs, nor prior to the so called "axis of evil" did anyone think this way as an American citizen. I'll tell you excatly what this administration accomplished. 1. Let Osama Bid-Laden escape. 2. Allow the America dollar to drop to all time lows. 3. Allow oil prices to surge to almost record prices 4. Create hate towards America world wide. 5. Lose international creditablilty. 6. Invoke laws removing many constitutional rights. 7. Prove complete disregard to the Amercan way of politics and beliefs. 8. Completely destory Iraq and make it worse than it was 7 years ago. 9. Destory our ability to recruite people into the Army. 10. Drive our country directly down the debt drain. The list goes on, if anyone would like to debat on any of these PLEASE do so, I can glady cite sources and references that are clearly creditable and believeable, not lame 3rd party sites or you tube videos made by college kids. Let the debate begin.
I'm sorry, but that's completely silly. Prior to 9/11, quite a few of us Americans were globally conscious.
