A life is not priceless, in my opinion, just by being a life. A person is only worth anything if they are productive. Im sure a bunch of socialists are going to reply now and tell me how heartless I am. Oh well.
I dont believe that 9/11 was a one-time attack. I think that If you believe that we are safe now that we know to look out for box cutters, then you are rediculously naieve. 9/11 was the beginning of a stupid islamic jihad that we must destroy swiftly. The reason we have had no attacks since is that we have been on our toes and they know that we are prepared. But we need to be more prepared.
What time frame are you referring to when you say that the probability of another attack is near 0? Whoever made that up is a real dumbass. I would say it is closer to 1. It will keep happening, but we need to fight against it to eliminate all of the threats that we can, so that the span in between attacks gets longer and longer. And, when did I connect Hussein to terrorism? If I made this connection it was by mistake, and I will be happy to explain myself If you clarify this for me. But Im not going to really get going on Iraq, thats a whole other story (but, in case you are wondering, I do support it).
I am not the slightest bit concerned about terrorism in other countries. If it becomes a threat to America, then it is my concern. When did it become wrong to put America first? I would be much more concerned about terrorists killing 200 Americans on a plane than the mass genocide of tribes in Africa. Come on, call me an asshole you liberal pussies.......
Democrats' idea of a good economy is where dumbasses get good jobs and business leaders give up more of their money. I am not working my ass off at school to help the damn homeless people i see all over Atlanta. Or the people who didnt work hard enough to get into as good of a school as I did. Again, its all about me. Asshole? Self-centered? Heatless?? okay.
I am in support of free trade. But trade is hurt when your country is attacked. Now, this is when you started not explaining your stuff very well. War is anti trade? What do you mean? Iraq's allies are next to meaningless. They need America more than America needs them. Wake up and realize what America is. do you feel bad that America is a superpower, and should we not profit from out power?
and how the fuck am i fear driven? I dont see that at all, but I think you should try to clarify that a bit and I will explain that I am not fear driven. The only thing that I am afraid of is that you liberal fucks seem to be multiplying, and rationality has been thrown out the door. Although, it is important to ignore arguments of pure ideaology in an argument like this. I say you are irrational, and you say the same about me. I just think you are a real dumbass.
you are probably some second-rate programmer who is all against Bush because comainies have figured out that your work is nothing that some Indian kid could do for a lower price. Bt then again, thats another thing that i really dont know about and shouldnt say.... I just hope it pisses off a few of you socialist fucks.
Cheers to you too, pussy
the difference is that people can choose to do these things, and they know the risks. People believe that driving to work (or wherever they want to go) is worth taking the chance that they could be hurt while driving. People smoke cigarettes because they decide to. Cancer and heart disease, in most situations, are due to choices made during that persons life. I like to eat big, rare steaks. I know its not healthy, but I want to anyway.
I think that you are a disgrace to our country. You try to make terrorism seem like an unimportant threat, and go as far as to compare an attack on our society to everyday diseases.
I dont want to see your damn anti-bush ad (its probably a.mov which I cant figure out how to get to work anyway....). I support Bush, and if you dont then thats fine. I am pretty sure that Bush is not going to have any problem being re-elected. I do, however, have a problem with people who accuse Bush of being anti-american. i dont accuse Clinton or Carter of being anti-american, even though they significantly decreased America's military and intelligence strength. This was a product of their ideaologies, which I do not share, but they were acting in what they believed to be the best interests of America. Bush is doing what he (and I) believe is best. Have some damn respect. How about pointing me to an Ad about how someone would do better to support our country. Trying to re-state existing problems is not productive.
ok this has been building up for some time now, but I have to say something. Are all slashdotters a bunch of leftists/socialists? I am hoping that there is a "silent majority" of conservatives (or even just moderates) but some of the things I see being said on Slashdot just damn shock me. I believe in Capitalism, and I cant stand seeing people here regularly bashing capitalism in favor of socialism. Sometimes I find comments to be even more interesting than the stories here, but I think Im just going to stick to the main page for a while (this has turned into CNN, bullshit mixed in that covers over the real news). If there are more people who are concerned about these ultra-leftists around, reply or something just so I wont get too discouraged about slashdot. At least I know my generation might do a little better. Almost everyone in the dorms at GA Tech supports Bush (at least most of the people I know)
