This from someone who makes comments that blanket an entire people into "child napalmers" ??? (see quote below)

Interesting comments by you in this thread OTH... interesting indeed.:nope:

Yep, I answered August's comment with the type of answer it deserved.

But by all means, ban me and let SB & co. get away with writing several page long racist rants. Free speech, riiight.

Well reading this you will see that you are brigged.

You don't make reasoned thought out comments you just lash out with a straight attack usually at America and Americans with no rationale at all, and you like to call Skybird racist.

I don't agree with a lot of what Skybird writes but I wouldn't call him racist.

It just seems that you don't get it and can't see why you upset people. You can't have it both ways.

I normally wouldn't reply to someone who can't respond in kind, but I think this requires it.

What he meant was that if the choice is having a dangerous job or starving, by all means go with the dangerous job, though a non-dangerous job will be preferable. August never proposed that kids should starve. That kind of reverse comment is called sarcasm.

Arguing, even forcefully, even passionately, is free speech. Direct attacks, including name-calling, are not.

So ummm...

Hey keep those same thoughts in mind when purchasing a hybrid car.

I would be willing to bet there are 10 times more heavy / toxic metals in one of those that most computers. :03:

I'm right behind you at the betting booth on that one.

Thank you Steve. That was exactly what I meant and all that I meant. It's difficult to believe that even with a language barrier anything more could have been read into it.

:haha:

Yeah, that's so oldschool. They don't even use lead anymore in the manufacturung process anymore in processors.:know: But you are correct, those hybrid batteries are really toxic, and they mine them up in canada. I don't remember what the metal is though.:-?

Salute Gutted.

I like your mindset, very similar to mine.

And I dont understand why people here are gasping over what you said. :shifty:

True words, every single one of them.

You cant help those countries by paying everything to them, do you except that they really would want to start putting their backs into it and try and make their lives better when they can just sit put and let the western worlds pay everything for them? :doh:

Er... How about those Saints!

Speechless.

Thankfully.

yeah, im somewhat of a harsh, abrupt, cold person. Sometimes getting critisized for showing no emotion by my own family members. When i should be happy, im only slightly amused. When i should be sad, im rather blank.

But its only because i see the world for what it is. I dont live in the clouds. And the whole political correctness hoopla needs to die 1 thousand deaths.

we cant keep catering to the lowest common denominator. in kids sports... why should everyone get a trophy? ohhh because we dont want their feelings hurt!!! no.... you lost! no trophy for you! get over it! kids need to learn at a young age that they aren't special.. and that life will throw them no bones. Thats why the youth today is so messed up. There are no consequences. If they can't make an A, they moan so that the standard for getting an A gets lowered.

nowhere in the constitution does it protect your "feelings". if you dont like something... don't look at it, or go shop somewhere else. you're NOT "special".

Just about pulled my hair out when Fox switched to the Forty-whiners after the Redskins missed the FG. :damn:

Buddahaid

We now return control to the angry mobs topic of US bashing/defending. :sunny:

Nickel Metal Hydride most likely Nimh they call them.

But other metals are involved as well fun elements like arsinide and lithium and gold.

But you find these in nearly all modern electronics.

Wow You come across to me as having a pretty grim picture of the world. Cheer up buddie.

I think its a good thing that the USA runs around and helps everyone what other power nation does that? Even when the crap hits the fan of nations that aren't so friendly with USA, USA will send aid for its citizens. The USA even beat little old New Zealand in sending aid to Samoa when the tusami (4 stories high went 700mtrs inland -187 lives lost) hit a month or so ago. And we are suppose to be the protectors of our neighboring islands! The kiwi forums were packed with posters complaining on how slack we were that the USA tidy up the mess for us.

It is better to give than receive, it is better to serve than to be served. J C.

Yep PC bs is taking over the world. I agree. In New Zealand a law passed last yr where parents are not allowed to discipline their children. A simple smack will land you in court. To the PC w**kers smacking your children will lead them to a violent lifestyle later in life. What a load of friggin BS! I smacked my boys when they needed it, both adults now and they are not violent and they respect others especially their dad so thats a bonus :)

Not saying if you dont smack your kids they will fail, but discipline is needed in the family there is nothing wrong with a smack on the backside or hand when needed. But now if a child is misbehaving we are instead to call for "time out" and sit them down and go through steps on why they spat the dummy and try to understand them. :rotfl2: What a load of crap. A simple smack on the backside would of fixed it. One other PC BS has come out where some professor is encouraging mothers to ask their babies if its okay if they change their nappy as this will not lead to confusion later on in their adult lives :har:

That professor should be locked up for stupidity.

nah, i just see all this lunacy around me and its turning me into a cynic.

Guttted - mind if I keep you in mind for a cabinet position? I am the same way on some things, but more relaxed on others. What are you views on foreign policy?

I'm a fan of Theodore Roosevelt's saying of:

"Speak softly and carry a big stick".

The previous administration was ALL stick.
The current administration is all talk and no stick.


Or in other words:
