NK admits that it has nukes and constantly uses them for posturing purposes, but you don't see us invading them.
bah, they won't fuk with us. They are almost right in a way because they have this biggass country called China staring down at them. I think the US just needs to make sure China doesn't fuk with them and they might disarm.
I actually chose John Kerry. I'm sure he's a good man and all, but he is definately not presidential material, and I think if he is elected the US will trip over itself and take a fall.
Bush isn't perfect, just too aggressive for most people. I'm glad he realized his power and did something about Saddam and started shaking our sword at the middle east. We have every right to be over there right now. If those crazy societies would learn to be civil, we wouldn't be as concerned about their rash actions. I don't think this is about oil at all. I think thats just an easy target for those that can handle the idea of war and the harsh reality of necessary, premptive security measures and what it takes to take them.
Flame me if you want, but I've thought about this and this is how I feel. Sorry. If I saw a neighborhood bully was terrorizing local kids and then came to my neighborhood and through a brick through my door because he was jealous, you'd better be sure i would report him to the police. If the police (un) was too scared to deal with the bully and I saw the opportunity to take care of him once and for all, I would take whatever means necessary to do it. Saddam was a big bully. thats all.
If you think this has nothing to do with oil, then you do not live on the same planet as I do. I agree, Saddam was a dangerous man (not for the U.S. imo), but saying this had nothing to do with oil is plain ignorant. I am glad most people voted Bush. I hope more people realize this before the election.
Nothing to do with oil, directly. Let's go back to my bully analogy. So after I just beat up the bully and found his hideout in the woods, I find he has a cooler filled with ice cold coke. Hot damn I love a cold coke. (I actually have been drinking them quite a bit lately, alot of work to do, it has caffeine. ) So I invite the local kids that where bullied by the bully back to the hide out to have a coke, and then show them how to setup a neighborhood "coke" operation and make some money. I'm not ignorant. I would gladly pay $3 a gallon or more if it meant just one soldier didn't have to die. This is about so much more than oil. So much more than oil. You'd have to be shortsighted because your pissed about gas prices to think otherwise.
Actually, if people would actually take risks and try to do something with their lives, they might realize what kind of real life survival measures they need to take to keep someone else from ruining their lives or the lives of people they love. The USA is no different in its need for these security measures and policies. If you want to attack us, FUK you, and here comes hell. This is how it has to be. Otherwise, we will keep living in fear. End of story. As I started in business, I sued the first person that remotely screwed me, not because I am lawsuit happy, but because I wanted to know the process and show to myself and others that I would do things to protect myself. Not only did I attack the other party legally, I worked with lawyers to screw with them psychologically. The timing of things, how we said them, when we said them. Kind of like picking a fight not knowing if you will win, but knowing that you will definately learn from it for the next time you are in a fight, and its not one you picked.
People like this ^^^^^
agreed.
techboyjk: analogies don't mean sh!t in the real world buddy. you must be either drunk or stupid because if you are not, i won't even try arguing with you because this is offtopic and that belongs to P&N.
sorry xiety, but I just lost all intellectual respect for you because of this statement. I was cool to everyone else, but this is rediculous. Lets put you on the front line.
your choice techboyjk. in your other post, you told me to read some books about CEOs and People Management. I can assure you, I have read enough books to fill a dumptruck on this subject. Unfortunately this has nothing to do with the subject. We are talking about a nation and its president. Open up a history book, you won't find many analogies in there because they don't empower a nation. Looking at things from a realistic point of view does. anyways, as i said earlier, i am glad most people voted Bush. good luck to you and your people.
i haven't read enough books on the subject to fill a dumptruck, but I have read about 8-10. I especially liked the harvard business review books on decision making, knowledge management, and people management.
We are talking about a nation and its President. What about the President? I was using analogies to demonstrate my reasoning why I felt Bush was right to act on Iraq the way he and his administration did. Several individuals had noted that he became the greatest threat to the US (even before aids, cancer, drunk driving, and the accumalted uneducated) when he invaded iraq.
This topic is abbout the greatest threat to this Country. My analogies directly correlate with the topic at hand. If you can't see the importance of my analogies in demonstrating my point (something important to do when in politics) then either I poorly communicated them, or you poorly interpreted them.
Maybe I am the idiot for not being able to convey my reasoning and perspective without analogies.
The text book itself might not have analogies in it, that is the nature of the book, however the teacher may use analogies to help explain concepts found in the book. You have obviously missed my point. I see things from a realistic point of view. I, however, may use analogies to help explain my realistic point of view. You need to step back and look at things before you act.
Bush = Conservatives, The religious Right, radical christian terrorist groups, stupidity, and Budget problems all in one
Anyone who is willing to sacrafice part of the bill of rights in order not to be offended or to silence those that disagree with them.

people who didn't think Saddam needed/deserved to be taken out of power.
Although there are many others I agree with.

I'm pretty damned disgusted by the majority of votes going to Bush as the greatest threat. WTF?!?! Hate him, love him, fine. He's been here for almost 4 years. He may get another 4, he may not. Islamic terrorists bent on destroying the modern civilized world have been around for decades. They have been gaining strength from the beginning until now. Long after Bush is gone, they will still be here. September 11 was planned and put into motion before Bush was elected. It wasn't Bush that incited that hatred. Whether Bush has hurt them or given them strength by angering more Muslims into joining is beside the point. Either way, they're here and they want us dead. Bush or no Bush, they're still a huge movement.
That's a major threat. This being said, my vote is for stupidity. I think stupidity covers most issues (including terrorism and how it's handled) when it comes to our problems.

Don't you think there are more things wrong than the extreme American right wing?
This bullsh!t does fall within stupid, but the biggest threat? I don't think so. Stupid covers a whole hell of a lot more than just the extreme right wingers.
I would say Dell, but that's because i had to call them (again) because they sent the wrong cpu fan (again)
i think it's really intolerance towards diversity and people born under an angry star (made that last part up)

The general ignorance of the American populace on any topic of importance largely due to the government juvenile detention centers (the so-called public school system) and the parents who are themselves too stupid to demand better for the same reason. So it just keeps getting worse.
