  1. Please, give me your, "advise" (advice). Oh, you mean like this: I say stupid things all the time, but again, it doesn't make me dumb. And the winner of the Most ignorant stupid statement of the week goes to EBSB52 for this one I also guess that is to be expected from shallow uneducated posts.
  2. Storm wrote: And the winner of the Most ignorant stupid statement of the week goes to EBSB52 for this one Don't worry, I'm fair game. Hell, I get banned for saying someone is using compensation: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=1706056;page=3;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=25;guest=14139326 He claims he would, truth is screamers never fight, and fighters never scream. Could be littleman complex - big truck / small cock..... essesentially compensation. This in response to 'the person in question' saying he'd basically kill anyone burning a flag. This is compensation. I don't know if he owns a truck and I don't wanna know about the other. To say this was an attack is such a joke that you have to understand why Tom banned me. At best there will be a, "This is your 1 and final warning." Nah, the greenies don't want to keep the peace, they're people too and they use their bias to enact their agendas.... not saying I wouldn't do the same. Conclusion: I'm fair game - I better not defend myself tho.
  3. And here's the rest of the section you quoted from, which by the way was just an interview with one person. I see you deleted my cut-n-paste from your reply and even failed to acknowledge it - no surprise there. Ok, so this site describes Germany as a struggling nation; I think we could easily find the same type of arguments/web sites about the US if I cared to look. Your cut-n-pastes support my point. What you argue is that the Socialist Germans are in ruins, the article hardly states that, but says they're in trouble. But it also says in the parts I pasted that even in the midst of all this fiscal chaos, they have amongst the best social programs in the world. So that is my argument; Germany, in fiscal trouble, takes care of its poor / the US when in fiscal trouble turns its back on the poor. Hell, we turn our backs on the poor and middle-class when we prosper. So your argument supports my argument. Are you going to argue that the US is in good fiscal shape? Shall we talk the how many trillion $ deficit? Many Germans, on the centre-right as well as the centre-left, think their laisser-faire critics are exaggerating. Carpers have been saying much the same thing for decades, yet Germany remains a rich and comfortable country that treats its old, its sick and its unemployed far more generously than does, say, America or Britain. “Germans live very well. We have a fantastic welfare system,” said Alfred Tacke, a confidant of Mr Schröder in the economics ministry. “Our infrastructure is fantastic. Our workers have six or even eight weeks' holiday a year.” The Americans, he says, work about 25% more hours in a year. So what, he seems to be implying, if Germany drops a few places in those league tables of growth and productivity Again, your article's words, not mine. Nice support for my argument, thx. Germany is one of the places on my list.
  4. That is an appeal to authority, and it is not a legitimate argument. Intelligent people can be wrong too. 1. It wasn't even meant as an appeal to authority - I don't look at you as authority in the least. - I had professors in college that I got to know outside of univ and I called them academic elitists for saying they are doctors so they must be right, so I don't subscribe to some academic hierarchy. 2. I understand that the reverse would be an Ad Hominem. To say some person is a high school drop-out and is therefore stupid and incorrect on an issue is an Ad Hominem. I realize you attack the argument, not the arguer. W/o looking up why I wrote that, I recall it was as a reply to a sarcastic remark made by someone trying to pretend to defer the floor to you due to your education. Do I know things that you don't? I guarantee it. Do others on the board know things you don't? I guarantee it. But as an average, an IQ test (as much as I think they're bunk), or an appearance on jeopardy for example, I think you would be identified as the most intelligent person on the board. Now finish your cup of humility and move on.....
  5. Thiefs of a feather flock together. just for random comparison, then what are saying about Clinton's pardoning actions while in office? Does he really 'flock' like some of those people? I dunno, look at White Watergate. He's a BJ pimp, is he a thief too? I'm not going to blindly defend that aspect of Clinton, and I will call out Bush's criminally murderous actions, but then diminish his culpability due to mental capacity. Just listen to him, "Uhhhm, (insert 3 or 4 6th grade words), Uhhh, (same), uhhhh..... and on. The guy wears his intellect on his sleeve. I know Clinton pardoned Slimington and he sucks for that. Most presidents pardon several scumbags on the way out, let's see if he pardons all these corporate scumbags.

We're looking at an enemy that can't even get 1 fighter off the ground whne we travel 1/2 way around the world - they have home field advantage - shit, s/b easy for them. Germany was much more formidable and fights as a country, Arabic nations fight in fragmented groups that can assimilate into other societies, can we see the truths here? There will be no pact signed with all of the fragmented groups here; can you describe a way to win this war? It's unwinnable, just like N. Korea and VN. Actually we could have won those if we were willing to throw another 100k troops at em, there will be no winning the war against the Muslims. Remember, they like this war. This is like the Cardinals playing the Super bowl chamos; they have zero to lose. These guys are excited about this war, and now they're changing their MO to that of not having to blow themselves up as in London. They're evolvin to using timers it appears, which makes them more dangerous. There is one answer here - fuck Israel and get out of there - be their gas ci=ustomer and turn a blind eye. Russia tried teh same thing in Afghanistan and lost like 20k troops, right?
  7. Gesse you have to slam Bush at every chance don't you.... I am amazed at your hatred for him... I'm not amazed at your lose usage of the word "hate" w/o provocation. I think many American voters are foolish, not the chimp. He showed us his colors and we asked for 4 more. Now most of the Bushies are saying, "er, uh, ya I voted for him but I wouldn't do it again." Just say you fucked up. Hell, I voted for many people that don't win or that do and fuck the place up.
  8. Thiefs of a feather flock together.
  9. You'd laugh if you heard all the names that were suggested when this forum was created. Personally, I voted for "the Trash Can." Most forums have that and let whatever happens go. Sometimes it's better to have a place for people to 'let their hair down,' it keeps the rest of the forum cleaner.
  10. I completely 100% disagree. That is the stupidest idea ever. How can an educated person think that is even remotely this side of ludicrous? It's not really an idea, he was just posing it to say how stupid other people are, while others aren't. I likethe exchange of ideas and I've learned from other - others have learned from me but prolly wouldn't admit to it.
  11. Ya, and getting out of the MIddle East wouldn't do anything like it did the Gulf War.... no. Truth is, OPEC's gas hikes are a direct result of us fucking with their land and their religion. We get out, prices drop. Why don't we get out, quit spending 1 billion $ per week and watch gas prices drop? Ohhhhh... this must be the latest lefty carrot. SO you agree then. It's not a carrot, as they're not enticing us; it's leverage to get us to quit leveraging them.
  12. In order to defend the chimp in chief you're going to argue that WWII was unnecessary? I realize some people are desperate for arguments, but that is hilarious. Even if what you say is true, no support to it but your word, their ally Japan had in its plans to bomb a US territory. It must suck to be required to relegate arguments to that depth. Also, we are fighting a religion here, not a country or 3. We would have to level the entire Middle East and even then there would be insurgents in other countries doing what they did in London. 1 solution = get out of the region. Gas will go for $100 barrel before long. See, that's the only leverage they have, so they use it. Now chimp wants to drill in Alaska so we don't need them. The answers right under your beak, chimp - leave the area and quit forcing Christianity on them. A great Law and Order was on last night depicting these sentiments.
  13. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=615&e=3&u=/nm/20050714/pl_nm/bush_poll_dc No big shocker here...........
  14. I dunno. Total number of people who died seems like a pretty good yardstick for measuring who "lost" a war. I guess, but in VN we had a 6-7:1 kill ratio, so I guess we won even tho we quit.... I think there are bigger losers in the war / no winners.
  15. What about the iraqi civilian deaths, they all died in iraq. I guess they don't mean anything to you, 10000s of them have died, do an online search for more details, so many that no-one has accurate data. Your analysis is BS. I guess they were really happy to be liberted of their lives. How many soldiers died in New York and Chicago in 2004, that would be a more meaningful comparisson than what you posted. Before you hang that statement on me maybe you should look up the author of that - I responded to it, I didn't write it. The Iraqi civilians do mean quite a but to me, hence I am adamantly against the war.
