Whoa, just caught Znet's name in this thread. Wow, that brings back memories. Znet was probably my first descent friend, way back when I only had Kahn

funny thing here is that the republicans who think global warming is a lie also approve of Bush's pre-emptive strike. What if you are wrong about global warming? whats also funny, is that even if global warming is fake, the same countermeasures to prevent it will have certifiably positive health eff...

Yep, as predicted. I'm sure you approve of the violations, BD. For the good of the nation, right? Here's a quote I'm sure you hate and makes you think I'm even dumber! \"# Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.\"...

And Birds, well, you haven't offered a substantive rebuttal to the pretty well accepted fact that Iran is manufacturing weapons that are killing United States soldiers. You just want to complain about your own manufactured Bush-credibility issues. "Bush lied, people died". Right. Might se...

I've been off pot for 3 months, and while my career isn't better, I sure am more social and picking up way more chicks. Set some kind of personal record recently.

Marijuana = less chicks

Actually, lately fiscal conservatism has grown to mean lowering taxes while running up a massive debt, devaluing our currency.

Birdseye

Probably, if I was advising Iran right now I'd tell them to quit spouting off about wiping out Israel and bringing about Armageddon and put a more moderate sounding leader in charge who could then demand equal rights to build the same kind of weapons that the U.N. Security Council members have From...

I think one thing we've overlooked is that countries realize that if you have a nuke, the US is not going to be as aggressive with you (i.e. North Korea). If I were a smaller nation, I would seek a nuke for security. I totally understand what Iran is doing.

Birdseye

Hi Will, I'm certainly willing to agree it's not about 'fair'. My point is, by us being there, Iran is expected to attempt to alter the outcome. That does not absolve them of past/present culpability of whatever they may have done, but I do not think of their current involvement in the Iraq situatio...

In the end, nobody can prove something is so complex \"God\" must have created it. Simply can't be done. Just because you can't figure out a way for something to have been created, doesn't mean it had to be made by God.

ID is nothing more than a gut feeling or opinion.

Ron Paul kicks ass. Some friends and I are considering re-registering to be Republican so we can vote for him in the primaries.

and no, this guy is nothing like joe lieberman. joe lieberman and \"Libertarian\" do not belong in the same sentence. In fact, I refuse to capitalize joe lieberman

Cannabis can be habitually addictive just like many other drugs. Drugs R Bad. I don't like debating that part. What I hate is all the money spent on policing it, \"preventing\" trafficking of it, and even worse the jail space taken up for pot criminals. We have rapists, murderers who get o...

Evolution; a strange argument about change. not that the following is proof for evolution at all, but coloquially: in my observations, all things are constantly in flux, with no solidified \"thing\" existing. it would be laughable to me that species would break the only universal rule (cha...

.... I can't believe people still don't see through this stuff... I don't understand what you are implying with that statement. It seems like you are saying that if people could only know the truth then there wouldn't be any reason to consider Iran as a threat. What, exactly, is it that people need...

As the rest of the world becomes more technologically savvy, we are going to see more countries have access to nuclear technology, and hence nuclear weapons. Are we to: - Continue to prevent new countries from gaining this technology as a short term strategy, realizing that eventually we can't stop ...

Palz, while that is funny, its really scary.

I can't believe people still don't see through this stuff

I don't know whether to laugh or cry

lol, you psychotic warmongers scare me. anybody the president posed as a threat you'd believe.
besides woody who just has a republican hard on the size of texas and would do anything bush did, why did you vote for warring with iran?

what did iran do to us? how did they threaten us?

Birdseye

I think at this point it's a religious/cultural/power struggle. I wouldn't be surprised if both Syria, Iran, and other countries are aiding it. I think at this point, it's looked as a fight against the Christian Americans on Muslim soil. And that's not the war we want to be in. I think Bush is just ...

Birdseye

OK, just curious how many of you whackos would want to go to war with Iran.Y ou can decide when or how, or why.

Personally, I think you must be delusional for a war with Iran. I can't see why anyone would be for this, considering the state of Afghanistan and Iraq and how those went.

I was for it then and I still am. We need new leadership though to finish the job. That's a quote from Cuda, regarding the Iraq war. I'd rather not argue my stance in this thread, but listen to the pro-war stance at this point. This thread deals with the issue of leadership for those for the war. I...

Clever man you are, Genghis.

von, you can nitpick this one, but I think it's worth a serious look at the shortcomings of this argument, and whether it really benefits the causes that use it.

Birdseye

i agree with ford here, its almost like will you have too much pride in your country to admit we were absolutely and totally off base on this one. we blew it. we set a precident of pre-emptive strike on a country that posed no threat to us. this was a sad day in american history. meanwhile, north ko...

who cares if we had 'the right' to invade? its funny now in our 'modern' times we have these rules and regulations that make it seem ok for us to wage war. this guy was not a threat with the entire world breathing down his neck. all eyes were on him. we searched for weapons and couldnt find anything...

Birdseye

dude, there's no way any poll puts everyones opinion in there.

the intention of the poll was basically to find out if you were for or against the war, and would you change your view based on what happened now. Not what bush \"should have done instead\"

Birdseye

will, I think you are overreacting. of course a poll has limited options. it's a poll. you can never put everyone's opinion into a multiple choice questionare, nor would anyone expect to.

sheesh

Birdseye

No dice. Either you're with us, or you're against us.

Birdseye

Alright, I'm just curious on poll numbers. There's no \"I was against the war and now I'm for it\" because I seriously doubt anyone switched like that, and I had a feeling some people would abuse that option

Birdseye

What does the whole slippery slope thing mean? I've always wondered that.

Birdseye

yeah, nobody said keynesian econ solved all. it would have been helpful if you made yourself a bit clearer earlier

you prolly needed to make new threads, as your points ended up being pretty unrelated to the threads at hand

Birdseye

What specific policy are you advocating?

Ah, but now we've hit a snag. Are they? You can only determine the length of a business cycle in hindsight.
