what about pictures of world-record winning breasts?

If you could see it with your own eyes you would understand. Everything being done there is to stimulate autonomy. 1) Building the Army 2) Building the police force 3) Fixing dilapidated power, sewer, water and housing issues 4) Creating a constitution that all sects can live with. ensuring these things are done ensures that we will not have to go back. Edit: Oh yeah and catch Iranian soldiers trying to mess it all up I have a friend (Marine) who HAS been there, and HAS seen it with his own eyes, and he thinks it's all bullshit. I'm just pointing out that not everybody who has seen it with their own eyes believes in the mission. My grandfather served in the Pacific from '41 to '45. He considered the war to be all bullshit and a waste of 4 years of his life. While being shipped home after the war, he threw his uniform overboard. Just saying... My friend's perspective was that the leadership had no clear idea what they were doing, or what they had got themselves into, or how to accomplish anything that they might decide they were doing. And that once somebdoy decided what they were doing, they were usually at odds with some other decision made elsewhere, to do something different. Clusterfuck was how he described it. that's a very common sentiment that workers have about their bosses and the companies they work for. in a big company or bureaucracy (like the military) the average worker (soldier) doesn't have the field of vision that the leaders have. at the same time, all too often the leadership doesn't have the hands-on knowledge that the workers (soldiers) have. can't really take the single data points as gospel, in either direction My point, exactly. Scott has/will have an interesting perspective on the Iraq situation, perhaps more so than ours, but that doesn't make his opinion gospel, just because "he's been there." I know guys who "have been there" that would disagree. His/their service hardly makes them experts. So, in the end, we're all just a bunch of motherfuckers pretending to know a lot more than we do.

Figured as much What are the alternatives..? Clearly oil is major concern. Islamic extremism, terrorism, and the nuclear threat from Iran are major concerns as well. It's not just oil. bingo. Iran, who just today predicted the demise of Israel and the destruction of the US; where most of the militants in Iraq come from anyways is the main concern. Ironically, the radical religious regime in Iran is largely the result of earlier "geopolitical" strategies of the U.S. Things like that seem to bite us in the ass. After all, who put SH into power in the first place? Who gave OBL his start? To a large degree, this mess we've got ourselves into re: the middle east is a beast of our own creation. I hope we learn our lesson, but our actions in Iraq make me think that we haven't.

What about people who signed up to fight in WWII? Were they idiotic? Just curious. This is just another way of saying, "if you don't agree with me, you're an idiot."

Why is he an idiot? If he believed that the Iraq War was important to our country, and joined the military to do his part in it, I would call this putting one's money where one's mouth is. Isn't this better than the guys who beat the war drum but aren't willing to go themselves? Who are the real idiots? Or, are you saying that he's an idiot because he doesn't agree with you? That seems pretty presumptive. I believe the war is wrong, and that we got into it based on lies, and I suspect there is an alterior motive behind this whole thing. But I'm not so arrogant that I assume there is no possibility I am wrong! Everybody thinks they are right. What are the odds that I'm one of the few that actually are? You've got to keep things in perspective, dude. Your brain will always tell you that you're right once you've made up your mind -- but that doesn't make it so. Don't lose your skepticism -- even if it's maintaining a healthy skepticism about your own views. That's the only way to have a chance of ever getting it right.

When soldiers start questioning authority, that's the day we turn into the French. Absolutely he should be blindly following his leader's (legal) orders. Like a fucking robot, I hope.

What's worse? An anti-war guy who refuses to join the army to fight in a war he disagrees with? Or a pro-war guy who tells everyone how they're shits for not supporting the war, but refuses to join up himself? Which one is not "acting on their convictions," hmmm??

Hey, I respect service. But does that mean I'm not allowed to give him shit, either? He's somehow immune from criticism now? Hell, I know lots of guys in the service -- some of them are fucking douchebags. Probably good in a fight, though. He's a fucking citizen just like me. That's cool that he's joined up -- cheers mate. But do I have to suck his ass now? I'm flipping him shit, too, KKKKKK. Why are you picking on KevDouche?

I fell a few weeks ago. It was a tiny fall, but it was onto an alien. AN ALIEN! Does that count as a huge fall?

If I don't vote for your candidate I'm a bitch? Having opinions about the Iraq War makes you a sad armchair quarterback? Or only if the opinions disagree with yours, scott? Should americans just blindly follow their leaders without any skepticism or critical thinking? I don't eat pork rinds. And, I don't consider my opinions, or those of my friends, to be "socialist garbage." We may disagree, scott, but I'm an American as much as you are. Why is it that the republicans and pro-war guys that spray on this site don't consider themselves sprayers? Who do you think you're fooling? I don't have convictions? I haven't acted on them? Other anti-war citizens don't act on theirs? Am I a fucking loser because I am not joining the military to fight in a war I don't believe in? Am I a fucking loser because I disagree with the war and am doing what I can do bring it to an end, and elect leadership in line with my opinions? Yeah, you're right, me and my friends NEVER act on our convictions. "Your side" has the total monopoly on that. I'm so sick of this whole "us and them" bullshit. I've tried to resist it, but clearly that's just the way it has to be, I guess. So fuck "you" guys. See you in November.

You know, it's funny. I've often said on here that though I disagree with them, I respect the people who are pro-war. I don't think they are evil. I think they honestly think that this is the best thing for this country/world/Iraq/etc. The same goes for the administration -- I think that at the time, ultimately, Bush thought he was doing the right thing. But, when I have my own (anti-war) opinions, the same people who's honor I've been defending come online and call me all sorts of names, and tell me that I hate my country, and that I hate America since I don't agree with them, etc. Just because my political opinions are different than theirs? Pretty strange, isn't it? Why have I been defending these people? My mistake.

well, it's a good thing you don't have a chow, those things are killers.

from what i hear State Farm makes a point of not discriminating against any breed. Even American Staffordshire terriers. Not true about state farm, unfortunately. A coworker's home owner's insurance through statefarm was cancelled when they found out he had a rott. I don't know the details. I have homeowner's insurance through State Farm and they made a point of specifically asking me if I had a pitbull, rott or wolf-breed dog. But, I'm sure there are companies who would insure you if you owned a pit, it just may cost more.

watch it pal. How can he argue with that? How threatening. I'd sure be intimidated. I am not trying to intimidate. I just think you should have some fucking respect. Yeah, OK asshole, because your original post had SO much respect, right?

Hey -- aren't YOU a cc.com sprayer?

watch it pal. How can he argue with that? How threatening. I'd sure be intimidated.

I was jogging in La Push and was followed by a loose pitbull who was definitely uncomfortable with me. He ran after me, growling, clearly with violent intent, until his owner called him back. He listened to his owner, ran half-way back, changed his mind, and charged me again. I played varsity ball. I smacked him square in the face with a good sized rock. He decided to leave me alone after that. His owner was livid, until I suggested we call the tribal police....

Rottweilers responsible for most fatal dog attacks on humans - 9/15/00 Pretty small study -- 91 - 98. I'd prefer 82 - 06 -- either way, according to the quote in the article you link, So, a pit is more likely to kill you, whereas a rott will just maim you? Sure, your article aquits pitbulls entirely

I was going to mention that. I have read that it has to do with what dog is a populare breed at the time. in the 70's it was Dobies who were the killers. What i have heard is that it is the massive inbreeding and over breeding that can happen when certin breeds are populare. thats why mix breeds don't seem to have the same issues.... After reading that link this is what it is clear that the paper was writen with an agenda. I do believe that Bully breeds require breed specific training. They are not just like labs or other dogs. but then labs require differnet training than poodles. By the way, the study linked was from 1982 - 2006 -- this isn't a recent development.

World Peace.

You know, wikipedia says that cake is often frosted with buttercream or marzipan, and finished with piped borders and crystallized fruit.....

Who uses one hand? I typed that with my tongue.
