The Coalition could win, but it involves violating the Geneva Conventions ...

Call me patriotic or and idiot, but I think our form, here in the US is pretty decent. Sure, some folks decided to elect a mistake.. but as was said before
"democracy is a terrible form of government ... but it beats the alternatives" (and yes, I am fully aware that the US is not truly a democracy ...

To DM: Why in hell would JR bother traveling over to England to beat the ever-loving shit out of some pimple-faced little cheesewanker like Comic Boy?

To mpjh: if you can drop the Golden Girls (shudder) remark, I'll forget all the bad things I was about to say. Do we have an accord?

Olaf, your back. Do you want to own up to being a multi or do we have to report you gain.

I suppose you are going to claim that you are the Olaf that dated one of the Golden Girls.

The name is Thor, calling me Olaf is incorrect because that would be my father's name, hence the "Son of" part ...

"I'm rubber, you're glue" BLAH BLAH BLAH. You are the sort of twit that I'd have socked in the mouth just as soon as glue tumbled out. To which I'd say, "Gee, sure don't seem all that rubbery to me."

Of course you were

Well, you responded, didn't you?

Bikes are not better than cars in every way, especially when travelling large distances or when weather is a factor.
If you're traveling long distances, take a bus or a train. If weather is an issue, wear a raincoat or a snow jacket. Mountain bikes can handle most road conditions better than cars ...

I recently remembered that when dog fighting became a huge issue (thanks Mike Vick!) several reporters compared it to hunting. Animal rights issues in general interest me, so I was wondering what you think.

So as not to taint the thread, I'll chime in later with my own thoughts.

You're telling him to kill himself.... while expressing your disapproval of abortion. Why is it any worse if a baby dies than a full grown adult?

Because he has, or rather, is living a life and unborn have yet to live (they are alive, but they have not "lived", saavy?) and nobody ought to joke ...

Assuming that enough of the populace is competant to the task. Which is a massive assumption.

I don't care what kind of plan they institute to disarm America - i trust neither their honesty or their capability to implement something of such magnitude without fucking it sideways. Well there we go... until your government puts itself in a position where it has gained the required levels of ...

Hey Jenos, I heard that you proposed that Amerika takes Dave Ramsey's advice and have the Federal Government seize all the pay-day loan establishments and such, that true?

The solution is not to arm everyone, but to kill all the scum who are lawbreakers. Do what China did, cap all drug addicts and dealers in the back of the head.

First: I am not this Norse (even though I am, technically, nordic ...

First Barbary War: The man who ruined everything in the war and destroyed all respect we may have earned in the middle east in this early conflict: Consul Lear.

Sold out a very successful naval and land campaign for a $60,000 peace and an exchange of prisoners. A rather high price considering that ...

Dollar for dollar, the military is cheaper than prison and you get a better payout for your dollars. We need to put our societies underachievers to good use. This will save money (less prison and mental health cost) enabling us to cut taxes and the kicker is more manpower for the conventional use ...

Are there multiple levels of sarcasm I'm not getting or something?

Despite our falling out years ago, and our opposing viewpoints on many issues, I still have respect for the man. Something I can scarcely say of many others.

I guess you'd say no.

I might be if he's a bonobo monkey that's been redefined as human...

I don't think that was what he was getting at.

I pick Hitler. But to have him removed just as he steps off the train in Paris in 1940. Only so a different leadership arises in Germany.

And I wonder what is so fucking difficult about answering a man's simple question. So, what's your excuse pig-fucker?!

It's called the Strawman Fallacy, idiot.

We will never use a nuke.

Certainly if the leftists in Amerika keep on with treating the terrorists as protected by the Geneva Conventions. I say drop VX on all villages were hostile activity is encountered.

Look at the press when one of our laser guided bombs kills 3 kids.

f*ck the media ...

HC, you seem to have no problem tells us Americans what to do, but if anyone thinks to question how your nation works you practically fly off the handle.
