Brittain is freezing? Giant comet will hit us?
Or..
Corporations making easy life for their "exceptional few" on histeria.. Very nice..

There is no answer to such a rambling "question".
It's not rambling.. I am just saying the whole world is constantly bombarded with issues of life and death.. I am watching all the time some catastrophic disasters..

Who said God is American and why in the world would you base an opinion of a group of people on youtube videos?:hmm:
:rotfl: If that would be like that.. I base it on a convention of John Mccain, where a guy that leads the ceremony tells the audience about "the God blessed country". And it was not "I love my country" speach.. It was "I am religious nutcase and I think we are all nutcases here and we are better than anyone other in the whole world and we should lead by example and show the whole world the right way and we want our John to show them ignorant Iranian aswipes what is right". Combined with some other words on that convention..
Or when I read about american soldiers who do crimes and then they don't pay for it.. Or american meddling with lots of wars, people, attentations, planting of governments(americas backyard).. Or generally the whole view of american media, views of leaders, movie makers, journalists.. I watch that because I am bombarded with that s..t but I must admitt, got nothing better to do than to read or watch that s..t when I am spending time like now..
How about a movie where a guy thinks should he save a piece of paper or human?
Or where you watch american soldiers killing black guys in their country? All shown like a "mission from God"..
ETC.
And what about celebrating american soldiers as heroes? Can you say you are a hero when you fire froma gun that fires 2000 bullets a minnute, wearing a vest, equipment a+ on a poorly trained, not so well guy in his own land?

The answer to that question is so obvious, you should have answered it yourself. Setting a timetable for withdrawal, no matter what the situation is, is a recipe for disaser (anyone remember VietNam?). No brain required to answer that question.
Maybe, maybe, but then again USA is allready loosing that war.. Economically and perhaps military.. It's better to back out than to pursue a lost cause. Is there a law where the mighty on a mission from God cannot loose.. The very minnute last american soldier gets out of Iraq, whole Iraq government falls. Whole lotta killing for whole lotta green. We all know that. What's the point, other than to extract oil from Iraq? That reminds me of some men in the past..

The same way our country can watch a candidate talk of lowering taxes while espousing a proposal (and actually sponsoring a bill in Congress) to increase foreign aid by hundreds of billions of dollars.
I agree.. It's idiotic.. Why is there that darn aid program when those countries could be well on themselves?
IMO it goes like this. You break a man, make him poor, then you make him work for you for low money and in the end you generously help him..

Because it's our duty, IMO (;) AVG). When we say that nothing will change, it isn't necessarily true. Each candidate has beliefs that we either share or don't share. Each candidate says where they would like to see the country go and we either agree or don't agree. No matter who gets elected, the President can't change everything by himself. Congress and the Senate are where everything happens (other than starting the odd war here or there). Until ALL of our elected officials make doing the right thing for the country (as opposed to themselves) their priority then nothing will change. The only real power the President has is to veto bills that Congress and the Senate have passed besides that whole Supreme Court Justice appointing thing, but then Congress has it's hand in that, too).
|
:up: I agree, but duty.. ?
AVG told the only truth, when 9/11 happened americans were all for war, now that is going bad, americans curse bush.. When USA atacked Iraq, whole world hated USA. I saw occasions here where americans here were offended and laughed up..
Presidential elections will change nothing..
Americans have to change their field of view.. They cannot say "Bush is wrong because he lead us into a lost war" after they were for war. What will happen when the Russians do that? Or chinese? Heck, USA is not the most powerful anymore..
And so..
Obama could be a way for that to be..
But it seems to me we are all screwed no matter what.. Everywhere is the same..
I am thirsty..
cheers
