~Di Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Oh dear Lord, this is the funniest thing I've read in ages! I've printed it out to re-read on those days... and God knows there are many of them lately... when I desperately need a giggle. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 While I'm neutral in the whole political thing, I think the people responsible for the Daily Mirror need to be shot. If anything, crap like that makes me wonder if the man should be supported. Of course I sometimes have a contrary nature... so I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent_Valashar Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 I think that it would probably be the best intrest of everyone that all those who wish to follow Bush, and those who want a better government leave each other and form 2 separate nations. Hardcore Christians and the Religious Right can have their country and reasonable people can have theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 That's the worst Idea I've ever heard. It didn't work in the late 1800s and it won't work now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent_Valashar Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Sure it would work. It would be better than the bullcrap we have now. We can use parts of the Missouri River as the dividing line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 No, it won't work. Do you really want two "opposed" nuclear powered nations right next to each other? Both sides from a nation with a history of armed conflict? Are you nuts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent_Valashar Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 The state of my sanity aside, dear Darque, the deep ideological division between the people of the United States is such that reconciliation just might not be possible and the only fruitful resolution will have to be the separation otherwise will we simply bicker among ourselves and accomplish nothing while our enemies take advantage of our in-fighting.

Vincent_Valashar Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 That will not happen. The stratification of the issues such as abortion, gay rights, education, foreign policy, separation of church and state, and so forth will not allow there to be one side.

I see it this way. The USA is the "only" remaining Superpower from the "old world" (The USSR is a memory) and as such I think there's a lot of fear and resentment over this fact. I also think a lot of this stems from the fact the USA went against the (in my opinion, horrible) desires of the UN. The UN made resolutions about Iraq, and the US decided to enforce them. Personally I think the UN is more at fault for how things have worked out than anything else. If that makes the US hated for doing what needed to be done, then so be it.

Vincent_Valashar Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 The question remains, did it really needed to be done. Personally I do not care what happens in Iraq. Before the war it didn't effect me in the least and even if Saddam kept WMDs he is more apt to use them against his own people than have a chance to use them on US soil. The fact that Saddam did not have WMDs at the time of the invasion, and Bush Administration's claims of an Al Qeada link were proven false I have very little confidence in Bush's capabilties. Add to the fact he uses religious rheotirc to justify his actions instead of facts makes me doubly as skeptical to his leadership capabilities. I do not want to seem rude to you Darque, but your assessment of the current state of affairs in the US and the stratification of the idealogies of its people seem a tad bit naive.

Before the war it didn't effect me in the least and even if Saddam kept WMDs he is more apt to use them against his own people than have a chance to use them on US soil. wait a minute, so is the US now supposed to make policy based solely on your desires? we're protecting our interests. period. he would not have used them here... he would have sold them to someone who would have. The fact that Saddam did not have WMDs at the time of the invasion, still questionable and even the recent report indicated he was trying to get them at least... and Bush Administration's claims of an Al Qeada link were proven false I have very little confidence in Bush's capabilties. no, the BA claimed saddam and/or iraqi agents met with al qaeda agents. Add to the fact he uses religious rheotirc to justify his actions instead of facts makes me doubly as skeptical to his leadership capabilities. you don't understand the freedom of religion nor do you understand what the establishment clause really says. you should read the constitution. you get this point wrong in nearly every thread. I do not want to seem rude to you Darque, but your assessment of the current state of affairs in the US and the stratification of the idealogies of its people seem a tad bit naive. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> pot.kettle.black. darque actually did a good job on the assessment. taks comrade taks... just because.

Someone needs to make a TV series or video game or something out of that possibility. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 It's not like anyone takes the Tabloids that seriously. They are like comics for Adults. Only one step up from the enquirer. The Sun managed to annoy me. On two thirds of the page they had the story about the Black Watch and on the other third they had some scantily clad woman.Really bad taste I thought mixing the two. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent_Valashar Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Oh, he was trying to get WMDs. That makes a world of difference! Oh, yes it does! NOT! Instead of concentrating of countries trying to get WMDs Bush should have concentrated on countries that have been confirmed having them. Oh, that's right, there is no oil in North Korea.
