Sorry to burst your bubble Buckaroo, but I believe your vegan diet has impaired your ability to think. No doubt Foraker will be along to point out some the 'critical thinking' deficiencies in your posts, but until then I'll try to help you through this difficult time: "Have to side with Virendra on this one." Damn. That's not a good start. "Since the advent of the atom bomb war is just a racket (well even before). The recent wars in the middle east have been fought for oil". Like the Palestinian/Israel conflict? "Saddam was installed by the CIA to control an oil rich region." Saddam was home-grown...with a little help from Egypt's education system and a perverted uncle. Please demonstrate US complicity in his rise to power. What's the first thing that happened after "shock and awe"? Well besides securing the oil field's..." Great! I didn't realize we had actually secured...anything. What's Iraqi oil production up to these days? "Saddam killed about 30,000 Iraqis over a span of 20 years. By some estimates bushies war has already killed 650,000 Iraqis in just 3 years." Huh? Add a zero to Saddam's internal tally - and subtract one from the later. Also, I believe you forgot about a million Iranians killed by Saddam 1980-1988. Don't they count? "And the CIA has killed an estimated 7 million since it's inception, mostly overthrowing democracies and installing dictators." Wow! Maybe you could share the breakdown with us? "You could look at the Israeli connection also with all the dual citizen"crazies" at the defense department, wolfy, et al and the PNAC. Their plan was for an expanded Israel power through US wars helped on by the Israeli lobby." Ahhhh yes.... Now were down to brass tacks! It vaz ze Jewz!!! Pathetic, Buckaroo. Really "I think rummy the neo-nazi corporate neo-fascist has buggered that for them on the sly." Neo-Nazis? But Wait!! I thought it was the Jews!! "America the killers. The genocide of the Native Americans was one of the most successful in the planets history. Before WW2 Hitler sent emissaries over here to study how we did it." Dates? Names? Help us out here, asshole. "I give about 10 percent of my net earnings to environmental causes." Great! A tithe! More proof that environmentalism is just like a religion. "man needs air to breath, the plants create that atmosphere." Um...I thought you said you studied environmental science? "And McDonald's has stopped growing also, one of the prime mother nature rapers. Good reason to be at least a partial vegan." Yes. Of course. "thanks to "the internets"" At least you're willing to reveal the spring from where your vast knowledge flows! Keep at it....the truth surely resides where you look!

Arc = "Virendra7". Ask him how it went.

Priceless.... coming from an acid-dropping, 9/11 conspiracy spouting, wanna-murder-the-prez, self described pacifist like you who's never posted a trip report or contributed anything. Your world is upside down. Hell, about 90% of the participants on this site are upside down. It's no wonder you feel you've found a home here.

Bite me, you little left-wing punk. If you had a single brain cell functioning without a thick coating of THC you would have been able to read the story you posted AND comprehend it. You'd also realize that the responses were so diluted as to render the survey meaningless. The same poll you post to convey Bush as "biggest villan" also lists him as "biggest hero" - but you missed that part. Do yourself a favor: read what you post before you try and use it to bolster your idiotic, mob-rules bullshit. And congrats on joining V7 and Dr Flash Amasing in cc.com's "let's murder our leaders" ideological basement. I'll paste your article here so you can actually read it. Don't worry; it's really short and there aren't any big words: AP-AOL News Poll Reveals: America Perplexed by George W. Bush U.S. President Ranks as Top Villain and Top Hero of 2006 America in No Doubt of 2006’s Celebrity Role Models – Oprah Regaled as the Best; Britney Declared the Worst DULLES, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new poll from The Associated Press and AOL News has discovered that Americans are torn in terms of their perception of President George W. Bush and his performance in 2006. When asked to name the past year’s biggest villain, Bush was far and away the #1 choice, commanding 25% of the vote, distantly trailed by Osama Bin Laden (8%), Saddam Hussein (6%), President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran (5%), North Korean leader Kim Jong II (2%) and Donald Rumsfeld (2%). Satan only took in 1% of the vote, as did Hugo Chavez, Tom Cruise, Dick Cheney, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Rosie O’Donnell, among others. On the flipside, Bush also claimed the top spot when Americans were asked to name the year’s biggest hero, but with only a trifling 13% of the vote. The troops in Iraq came in second (6%), followed by Jesus Christ (3%), Barack Obama (3%), Oprah Winfrey (3%), and rock star/philanthropist Bono (2%). Other “do-gooders” of 2006, receiving 1% each, included luminaries, business leaders and politicos such as Warren Buffett, George Clooney, Bill Gates, Al Gore, Billy Graham, Angelina Jolie, Colin Powell, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Condoleeza Rice. When it came to preferences by political affiliation, Democrats were much more aligned with their party line than Republicans. Bush was the choice of 43% of Democrats for villain of the year, a more impressive showing than the 27% of Republicans who chose Bush as their hero. In contrast to Americans’ outlook on George W. Bush in 2006, they were much clearer about who to celebrate and who to “love to hate” when it comes to celebrities. Oprah Winfrey was selected the best celebrity role model of the year, garnering 29% of the vote. Michael J. Fox came in a close second with 23%, followed by George Clooney (12%) and Angelina Jolie (8%). Pop singer and gossip fodder favorite Britney Spears has the dubious honor of being named the year’s worst celebrity role model, with 29% citing her as a bad example. Her paparazzi-hounded pal Paris Hilton came in second (18%), followed by a notorious “who’s who” including Mel Gibson (12%), Tom Cruise (9%), Michael Richards (6%) and Nicole Richie (5%). Methodology The AP-AOL poll of 1,004 adults was conducted by telephone December 19-21, 2006 by Ipsos, an international public opinion research company. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points for all adults.

As for Viendra7 - I have forwarded your GWB/Cheney/etc death-wish comments to the Secret Service. You are now on a list, Punk. When are the mods gonna reign in this latest incarnation of Divot/Icefall/Arc? YOU prove my point so easily! you say you reported me to the gestapo? (SS) great american you are..been on there since mid 60's. i'm a model citizen with a voice.! WHAT HAPPENS IN SPRAY STAYS IN SPRAY! You're a model citizen....that pops pills and wanders the streets of Vancouver, promotes 9/11 conspiracies, wishes death on our country's elected leaders - both past and present - and has been kicked off this site numerous times before. A real class act you are. I think you are confusing Spray with Vegas. Threatening to hang the president puts you in a certain class of folks. On another thread you promoted yourself as a pacifist. Strange.

It's early and I'm hungover. Please esssplain.

anyone else having a hard time deciding if he's talking about liberals or conservatives here? or both? PhD's.

Chirac, Mitterand, and Gorbachev? Jimmy Carter? Get a life, asshole.

Gotta agree with SC just a little on this one. Saddam had to die for sure, but "scheduled death" does bother me just a bit. Certainly a time for reflection and not celebration. As for Viendra7 - I have forwarded your GWB/Cheney/etc death-wish comments to the Secret Service. You are now on a list, Punk. When are the mods gonna reign in this latest incarnation of Divot/Icefall/Arc?

I really don't mind all of the flaming liberals, the arrogant bastards, the clueless degrees, the commies, the potheads, the trust-fund-world travelling brats, enviro-dumbshits, and angry lesbians that frequent this site - but the 9/11-conspiracy fuckhead retards like you rate so far below the rest that I can't even hear the echo coming up through the sewer pipe!!! Please....kill yourself soon.

Why do you care? And why should we? Merry Christmas, Prole.

I'm rarely offered an appetizer, so I just sit there intently swirling my index and middle fingers around the rim of the wine glass while she has her soup and salad - all the while hoping she's saved room for the main course. It's very frustrating, you know. I'd send you the video - but, as promised, I erased it afterwards. can you make that wine glass sing? Sometimes, even shatter.

You remind me a little bit of Divot/Icefall/Crampon/eggplant with the way you word things and your ee cummings style punctuation. Good call, Archenemy. His previous incarnation was that of recently banned "Arc" - no doubt about it.

1960's: Gimme a break. The 60's rate as one of the most violent periods in our history. You should avoid viewing world events through such a small period window. 9/11 Homemade: Please explain. If you believe that somehow the policies of our government justify the murderous actions of religious radicals; fine/whatever. But if you're one of the WHACK-JOBS who believe our government is secretly and wholly responsible for the most well-documented single event in human history then you are a lost cause. You should consider spending ALL of your government assistance on therapy. You are likely no more than paranoia masquarading as compassion.

Pink says: "war is the ultimate paradox. we are to unevolved as human being's not to fight with each other. let me know when you figure this one out. V, i think your a little ahead of your time." Pink, I used to believe this, but you can't really demonstrate that humans are actually evolving in the direction of peace and harmony, can you? I sometimes think our capacity to reflect and learn has grown, but our individuality and divergent paths render us condemned to our condition. I'm not sure I want to live in a world where individuals aren't willing to die (or kill) for their beliefs and freedom.

I believe you have an affliction common to some here on this board, although your case might be more severe:

No. You're free to believe as you wish - and live your fat and naive life blissfully unaware that others sacrificed for you.

I doubt you actually know any of the soldiers protecting your right to be a little punk, but I'm sure the vast majority of them are smarter than you. Fuck off.

I read...and avoid doing drugs on the streets of Amsterdam/Vancouver.

For a little insight to the mind of this new poster known as Viendera7 you need not look beyond his/her last entry in The Pirates Forum. Stunning: "i popped 2 purple double domes and 15 min later entered the aquarium at stanley park in vancouver.all was cool until all the glass disappeared and i was walking among the fishies. sooo real. eventually the sounds were freaking me out and my bud swam away , so i left. people were looking at me really weird so i 'knew' i had to rebuild my standing in society so i hung out with 3-4 winos to start back at bottom. once i got the smartest wino to agree i was acceptable i was on my way.people were still freaking out(hair/pissed pants/muddy clothes?)but i didnt care. i then decided to walk back east. i remember i could see the prairies expanding for miles , then the great lakes and the evergreens and to the south east, the ny skyline, aaah. as i was walking i saw a construction zone and every time i walked by after going around the block i could see the whole building coming up. once i figured they were ok without me, i went to bed... the next day i woke up in a ditch , 100 miles east ,cause the water was coming up to my mouth. i dried in the sun and cleaned myself up a little, stuck my tumb out and the 2nd car stopped.he was going to calgary so i went ... " How can a dumbassed right-winger like me ever hope to confront such intellect?

Special Ops?

I too have been planning too attack iran for almost too years too.

Oh boy! Just what this site needs...another vegan with a protein-starved brain. Carry on.
