Dr_Flash_Amazing

It's "...what you TELL me", FYI.

Oh, OK, you're right. You know what DFA was saying and what he meant by what he said. Good call. Why don't we just let you speak for the Doctor from now on so we can avoid any more confusion about what Dr. Flash Amazing is really saying when he says what he says.

Trask, admit it. You've never been so hopelessly, heart-poundingly, head-over-heels in mad, mad man-love as you are with DFA and Peter Puget, and it's tearing you up inside as you try to decide which one of us to buy flowers for with what's left of your paycheck after your weekly whiskey binge. Isn't that what's going on? You poor dear ...

Puget, where in the above post is Dr. Flash Amazing implicating that war supporters are insensitive assholes, please? It's a simple plea, not an indictment. There's nothing between the lines, so don't try and read there.

Dammit, Puget! OK, wait a sec' ... patience, patience, deep breath, relax ... OK ... For the second time, DFA is not putting words in anyone's mouth! If you haven't seen people talking gleefully about raining bombs on Iraq on this website, then it's understandable that you're puzzled by what DFA is saying, but it does get talked about. Obviously if you're pro-war but are also deeply concerned for casualties of any nationality, then the assertion that perhaps we should be more concerned for casualties on both sides doesn't apply, does it? The Doctor is not saying "all war supporters are assholes" or anything of the sort. If you want to go on believing that that's what DFA is saying, well, that's your prerogative, buster. To quote RobBob of late, "Sheesh!" The name-calling's not very nice, either, you meanie!

Trask, you insensitive fool! How can you post that kind of offensive garbage on this website?! NEITHER of those gentlemen's purses matches their shoes!

Sorry about that. It's just that Peter seemed so genuinely upset, and it sounded like he was going to sprout fangs and claws and tear up his office in some kind of Jeckyll/Hyde rage scenario. Pacifying force that Dr. Flash Amazing is, he had to stem that tide of out-of-control aggression and settle ol' Puget down 'fore things got ugly.

"DFA – These kind of statements make you look like an asshole. To think that most war supporters don’t give a damn about human casualties is complete goofiness and reveals contempt for others that can be construed as nothing more than vanity. For the record, all things being equal given the choice between a 19 year old American soldier (whom by the way you believe is a murderer) and equally innocent Iraqi, I would pick the American to live. I would of course be open to your detailed discussion on the relative innocence of an American soldier compared to an Iraqi newborn, aged woman, teenager or whomever. As in our previous discussion after the sloganeering ends I am sure your thought process will prove to be empty." Jeez, Puget, something seems to have gotten under your skin (great Sinatra material there). You've made a misinterpretation or two which perhaps contributes to your currently lathered state. First on the docket, the plea for consideration of the lives of the citizens in the country our president is targeting. Numerous people in favor of war both on this site and elsewhere make big talk about smoking "ragheads" and laying waste to those "camel jockeys" over there, etc., but would throw a grand wobbler should any American blood be spilled. Dr. Flash Amazing is just raising the question of whether we are not all people who deserve to live, regardless of whose flag is flying over our heads. It's a really out-there bleeding-heart liberal lefty communist concept, Lord knows. DFA did not insert any bloodthirsty words into any hawkish people's mouths, but rather posted a reflexive plea as a result of said words issuing from said mouths. And this murder business ... way back when, as the Doctor remembers, his position was that war was murder from the standpoint that beaucoup lives were wasted, and conceded that where the line was drawn as far as who was responsible was difficult to say. Not, as you say, that "soldiers are murderers." However, by your own criteria, for putting those words in DFA's mouth it looks like you are the one looking like an asshole. Oops. Ta ta, Dr. Flash "enough with the violence, already" Amazing

Trask, you'll say anything to get in Dr. Flash Amazing's pants, won't you?

There isn't and off-width. Is there?

Excellent!

With Trask, "you're stupid" is about as good as you're going to get. Unless he pulls out all the stops with a reference to meat whistles, bestiality, or Hooters girls.

Look, folks, the original post was intended to get the resident cc.com hawks to think about casualties on both sides of the fence. Seems that American lives are generally extremely precious to war supporters, while those of the "enemy" are generally thought little of, if they're thought of at all. And hey, if leaflets from the sky will save lives, DFA is all for more leafleting.

Ah, a fellow Nobel Laureate, are you? 'Cause it seems like a lot of people here couldn't be bothered to give a squirt of piss for all the faceless targets cowering in their Baghdad basements, praying to God or Allah or whoever that they don't wind up with a lapful of cluster bombs.

Help George W. Bush look like a real champ in the eyes of his loyal subjects ... err, supporters.

Funny how President Bush could just show up at the Pentagon totally unannounced and unexpected. Why, you'd think Bush's visit to the Pentagon might have been in the news or something recently. And he showed up just to cruise into the cafeteria and shake some hands? Of course ... This'll get debunked by Snopes soon enough.

Meet some of the people who may soon be killed or maimed by US bombs: http://www.msnbc.com/news/886752.asp While you're praying for our soldiers, don't forget the Iraqi people, too, as they are people, too.

Someone needs a faster internet connection, and it looks like that person is Iain!

RobBob, it's directly traceable to your current flaccid and ineffectual incarnation of your formerly vivacious and incisive self.

= Scott, for all our disagreements about inappropriate humor, you are a fine individual.

Good idea! The morons will have their way regardless of what anyone says or thinks, so we might as well just go along with it and smile! That's the kind of "firm resolve" your president likes to see!

He started it!

Yegads ... you can almost feel the spins coming on when you get to the crazy-eyes, vomit, crazy-eyes, vomit chapter. Yeeg!

Hey, jerkass, the time has come to wake up and realize that your president is needlessly endangering the lives of those troops who you supposedly support (Hello? Since when does "support" mean "enthusiastically send to die"?). The time has come to wake up and realize that our country is in the crapper while your president is pissing away money on tax cuts and military spending while the jobless rate skyrockets, huge companies are going tits up, and the stock market is dreaming of the days when it was only going down the toilet and not straight to hell. But if you want to keep supporting the president that wants to kill our troops and ruin the country that you love, that's cool.

Looks like The Onion had it figured out back in '01! http://www.theonion.com/onion3701/bush_nightmare.html Bush: 'Our Long National Nightmare of Peace and Prosperity is Finally Over' WASHINGTON, DC-Mere days from assuming the presidency and closing the door on eight years of Bill Clinton, president-elect George W. Bush assured the nation in a televised address Tuesday that "our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over." "My fellow Americans," Bush said, "at long last, we have reached the end of the dark period in American history that will come to be known as the Clinton Era, eight long years characterized by unprecedented economic expansion, a sharp decrease in crime, and sustained peace overseas. The time has come to put all of that behind us." Bush swore to do "everything in [his] power" to undo the damage wrought by Clinton's two terms in office, including selling off the national parks to developers, going into massive debt to develop expensive and impractical weapons technologies, and passing sweeping budget cuts that drive the mentally ill out of hospitals and onto the street. During the 40-minute speech, Bush also promised to bring an end to the severe war drought that plagued the nation under Clinton, assuring citizens that the U.S. will engage in at least one Gulf War-level armed conflict in the next four years.
