Some European country - there is an alarming trend of increasing discriminatory legislation and unease there over minorities there. We're not far off from a second holocaust happening, which would probably start WW3.

Not that I'm a Bush supporter, but don't ya think Bush and his gang can do a better job eliminating "radical Islam" assuming your three observations are mutually exclusive????

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.

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.

actually, read some books about being a ceo and people management in general. They pounce on the use of analogies and how important they are. This isn't off topic. If you would actually read it instead of reacting, you would see the relativity. Analogies are key in getting people to understand concepts and ideas that they wouldn't otherwise be able to understand, because it helps them see things in ways they do understand.

lol, if you dont think analogies mean shlt in the real world, your the idiot. What have you accomplished in your life?
 
from dictionary.com

analogy

\A*nal"o*gy\, n.; pl. Analogies. [L. analogia, Gr. ?, fr. ?: cf. F. analogie. See Analogous.] 1. A resemblance of relations; an agreement or likeness between things in some circumstances or effects, when the things are otherwise entirely different. Thus, learning enlightens the mind, because it is to the mind what light is to the eye, enabling it to discover things before hidden. < thats not important in the real world. not at all.

Note: Followed by between, to, or with; as, there is an analogy between these objects, or one thing has an analogy to or with another.

Note: Analogy is very commonly used to denote similarity or essential resemblance; but its specific meaning is a similarity of relations, and in this consists the difference between the argument from example and that from analogy. In the former, we argue from the mere similarity of two things; in the latter, from the similarity of their relations. --Karslake.

2. (Biol.) A relation or correspondence in function, between organs or parts which are decidedly different.

3. (Geom.) Proportion; equality of ratios.

4. (Gram.) Conformity of words to the genius, structure, or general rules of a language; similarity of origin, inflection, or principle of pronunciation, and the like, as opposed to anomaly. --Johnson.:roll:
 
how are kids ever going to learn if you don't use analogies? OMG analogies are incredibly frickin important in the real world. If you told your teachers not to use analogies when they tought you, you would still be in 3rd grade.

I'm going to get my MS in Analogy Science.
 
Poll results are disturbing. It's sad that so many people focus on something so relatively unimportant when there are things SO much worse in the world that should have your concern. Get out from under your rock.

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.
