I'll take you all on in any hardware store of your choosing. Name the section and I'll be there. I prefer the garden section myself...the hoe is my tool of choice. On guard!

Hey Specialed, I like your signature. This was something that Winston Churchill said to Lady Astor back in the day I believe.

You mean like the one he just sent me entitled "See you next Tuesday" with the content of "punk ass "?

Yes and fuck you too. What a pud you have made yourself into erik. I thought this was nothing more than idle banter to whittle away the hours at work. Being an anti-war hippie with a cynical mind and a preponderance to debate "Hitler out of my backyard", I'd never subscribe to violence.

Name the time and place. Since "tool" seems to be a favored derogatory statement of yours as well as your previous reference to a drawstring lamp, might I suggest Home Depot or Lowe's? That way you can do a bit of shopping prior to me kicking your monkey ass all over the electrical section. HA HA HAR DE HAR

Is that the best you can come up with? If that's the case then you're a fucking tool you fucking tool. and i'm no better for being suckered into name calling

Firstly, what is itknown for? I am admittedly not too familiar with Arab news. Secondly, is American popular media any more objective?

Jeez man. Can it possibly get any worse?? This is total insanity. Why is everyone so damn passive about this ridiculous charade taking place?

So, if numbers (ie. voters) are not an accurate or relevant enough measure of determining a course of action, and it boils down to one man, isn't that kind of like a dictatorship? Oops. I said it didn't I?

Well said Off-White. Methinks MtnGoatCheese makes no sense and keeps digging himself deeper and deeper.

No matter how many people oppose the war, it's still wrong (to oppose)? Indeed the RIGHT (wing) thing was done.

Post Deleted. I'm really going to try and stop complaining. Instead, I'll offer you this... Scotsman, Englishman and Irishman are sitting around the table one night talking about how stupid their wives are. The Englishman pipes up and says, “Lads, my wife is so stupid, she bought a new stove the other day, and the gal can’t even cook!” The Scotsman nods his head and says, “Lads, let me tell you. My wife bought a brand new car and can’t even drive!” The Irishman is just sitting there giggling and says, “Fellas, I got you all beat. Last week, my wife went on holiday with two of her friends to Spain. She took a hundred condoms and she doesn’t even have a penis!”

Big groups do suck. Having said that though, I'm in the Mounties and invariably part of a big group. Even though it sucks to 1.) be part of that big group, or 2.) Encounter that Big Group, I have learned quite a bit already just being in their classes.

It's time those oil wells were liberated and free to live in peace... http://www.theonion.com/onion3913/oil_wells_liberated.html

Exactly. Thank you for clarifying Specialed

MtnGoat, I just find it somewhat baffling that now the U.S. has taken Bagdhad, I am somehow expected to drop my belief that the war was wrong all along. You and others now think that your views have been vindicated because we dropped thousands of bombs and pummeled the Iraqi forces into submission like everyone knew we would right from day one. I'm not certain that I follow your train of reasoning.

Dude, I certainly hope that it was construed as a joke. No way do I want to be in a torture chamber under Seattle municipal court.

That particular post was a hyperbole not to be really taken seriously EternalX. I am quickly realizing that my humor is only funny to me and lost on everyone else. How sad is that.

Undoubtedly so Erik. However, now that the "war" has reached a favorable outcome for the allied forces, does that really indicate that those opposed to the war were wrong all along? Does that make my "whining" any less legitimate?

You're really not the sharpest tool in the shed but here goes...is it not better to protest a cause through peaceful means than to simply take up arms when the conversation gets to be a little too tough, and a little too difficult to convince others that you're right and they are wrong? If the U.S. and Britain were truly right, then why did 80% of the world disapprove of the war in the first place?

Sorry MtnGoat, but what are you trying to say?

I think this might be my next party bus / trail breaking juggernaut. Do you think the cops will mind if not all my passengers have a seat belt on?

So, do you think that the thirst for blood has been quenched now? Now that we've taken down Afghanistan and Iraq, do you think the U.S. will go to war with another country in, let's say, the next 18 months? This isn't a loaded question. I'm curious to hear what most folks think. I haven't really considered it, but there's probably decent odds of another war wouldn't you think?
