Hey, guess what? We aren't going to use those aircraft carriers on starving people. This may come as a suprise to you, but those things are expensive to operate. We're saving them up to apply some ass-whupping on despots and dictators, i.e.; the people mostly responsible for starving children, the people that want you to die for being a decadent Westerner (and so they can have your stuff), etc.
American style freedom = poverty? What planet are you from?
In case you didn't notice there were no ex-Iraqis protesting the war. The people absolutely hated Saddam and are glad to be rid of him. If they don't want Levi's and Big Macs then market pressure will ensure that they won't have franchises in their country. And if they don't want to have a free democracy they can choose another dictator when we leave... but if he gets out of hand killing, raping, invading and supporting terror then we'll just have to kick some more ass.
And as far as the war on terrorists goes, you are either with us or against us and we (and I truly believe I speak for the majority of Americans) don't give a shit whether you think that's fair. And that goes double for you morons who support the "Palestinian" splodeydopes.
Trickle down economics is what an economist would call "moving the bell curve to the right". The rich get richer and the poor get richer too. It works. 70 years ago poor people in this country lived in shacks with packed dirt floors.
Socialism is called "squishing the bell curve to a vertical line", at which point the rich get poorer and the poor temporarily get richer. Then production plummets and inflation skyrockets and everyone gets poorer and poorer, etc...
To us, what serves us best is usually the right thing. Free markets and free people create money. We like money. Dictators that support terrorists and murder children by the busload tend to drag the local economy down a bit, and that makes it hard to sell them Levi's and Big Macs.
Totalitarian regimes that grab up the property of private corporations in their countries (like the arabs did with our oil wells) aren't high on our list of buddies either. [sarcasm] But at least their people are no longer exploited by the Yankees and are free to starve and do whatever their Great Leader commands them to do. [/sarcasm]
Plus, when women are repressed and forced to cover their entire bodies we can't see their tits. We like tits.
I mean, money and tits for everybody... how is that not the right thing?
We had evidence that Saddam was trying to buy uranium. It's called British Intelligence, and it's an assertion that MI5 still stands by. The CIA has pointed out that they advised the cabinet that that intelligence may not be accurate before the President's speech.
Congress approved the action. Blaming the President is pretty simple-minded.
Rational thought? That's not fair! It's all about the OOIILLLLL!!! The United States is Imperialist! George Bush eats babies and kicks puppies! *slobber*
His point is that all most of the Democrats are doing right now regarding President Bush and the war in Iraq is picking nits in a completely partisan attempt to make him look bad, not a patriotic attempt to do what is right for this country. Not all Democrats, actually, Hillary Clinton recently came forward in support of the war (and Bill had a couple of strongly worded speeches about Iraq's WMD program in the late 90's).
I agree that it is usually silly to label someone anti-American just because they have opposing views, unless those views are in direct opposition to the U.S. constitution that we are sworn to uphold (like income tax, gun control, etc. heheheh)
Seeing as how we started building this ship in 1998, wouldn't that make it one of Bill "Stogie" Clinton's projects?
Another Leftist displaying their total ignorance of anything to do with reality. It's really amazing how you people hold such strong opinions with nothing in the way of actual evidence or critical thinking to back them up. "It's all about 'feelings', man."
Yes the United States hasn't been the model of humility or righteousness, but what did you expect from the worlds greatet superpower?
And imagine the kind of power that the U.S. has in the hands of a European or Arab country... can you say World War III? World Domination? Statist Dystopia? I knew you could.
From what I can gather from the virus information, it's not an Outlook virus. It's a Windows virus that propogates through its own SMTP routines, harvesting email addresses from a variety of local files. In Outlook it requires the user to extract the executable and run it, just like any other mail client.
Why suggest Kenny G because it's the "Future" of Jazz (which I don't buy at all)? There are thousands of records from the last, what 75 years (?), that are worth buying. After you've run through all of those and are sick of them (the work of a lifetime, really) then, sure, devolve to Kenny G...

Actually, the newer carriers are a lot cheaper to operate and will end up saving us money... $5 Billion is chump change anyway.

Heh. That's an Oldie but a Goodie.
Thanks for the insight. And for your service in our defense.
Could you give some examples? When did G.W. lie?

Oh please, France and Russia (the voices of peace, heheh) are 20 times the unabashed arms peddlers than the U.S. ever was (or ever will be).
More like 100 million...
Well, we can't let the assholes have all the fun...
Let's get the story on all the major news channels!
I sure hope no terrorists get wind of this and get any ideas about blowing up fiber optic trunks... that would be bad.
Well, don't look then, Princess.

What kind of chicken-shit catch-phrase is that? Why don't you just fuck off to France already?
If you're not playing the community developed modules, you're really missing out. There are dozens that are a lot more fun than the official campaign.
