Luna Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 If you like it so much you should use capital letters. Ah -the ole witless argument, can't say nothin wrong 'bout my country or uz a pinko. Democracy is questioning, not just swallowing the crap they throw at you in the media blitz. Just not gullible. Quote
Scott_J Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 I know Glacierdog. He is in the military doing his bit for his country. I am proud to say I know him and his other buddy, Sundog. Sisu Quote

Democracy is questioning, not just swallowing the crap they throw at you in the media blitz. Just not gullible. Luna I was only arguing part of your comments and should have included necronomicons moslty. My fault. I dont think there is anything wrong with having an opinion. Questioning is good. Some of your comments are not really about america but more about the repub party aren't they. Talk about witless. Well I wont go there. Yet. Quote
Greg_W Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Bullshit, Luna. At the heart of questioning should be a respect for the country and framework under which it was founded. DFA's posts and attitude do not carry this respect, therefore he gets none of mine. Quote
snoboy Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 "You really ought to take Cavey's advice and move the fuck outta our country if this is the way you really feel." Ah, isn't it his country too. Isn't that what you're all fighting for, the right to say what you want and be who you wanna be, or is that just a load of spray too? Not Trolling! Serious Question. Quote
Luna Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Mr. Cavey - Ok- ignoring Greg's less insightfull comment - here's what I mean. It doesn't matter what political group is in power, you need to keep an eye on them and call their BS. When Clinton sent that cruise missle into the medicine factory what happened? Nothing much. It was oops, well we had good inteligence. It's always put forth in the media (US anyway) that the US has good intentions dang it, but sometimes things get messy. Watch out when they say "national interests" . Whose is that? Yours? Mine? Hardly most of the time. Think, Think, think Quote

Think, Think, think Personally I am down for cruise missiles into factories if the people wanna hide next to them. Then they might get the message we mean business. I am thinking. But I am also entitled to my opinoins as well. I dont crap on the whole US with whimsical statements impying I am going to wipe with the flag etc. when clinton or anyone like him fucks up. Quote
glen Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 As a sidenote, Luna should get a nomiation for rookie sprayer. At only 5 posts, she has garnered rebuttals from most of the big time sprayers on the site, and come back in good cc.com form. Spray on! Quote
snoboy Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 There' something weird though... If you go to her(?) profle and click on "Show all Users Posts" Nothing comes up. Maybe its coz Luna is noob... Quote
Luna Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Ah -but my first post was a climbing one!! I didn't realize that CC.com was a spray fest for the righties. Quote
JoshK Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 You are right...in fact..."We Cannot Proceed!" Quote
JoshK Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Hang in there luna, it's definitely a spray fest and the righties on here certainly are vocal, but it's an entertaining crowd regardless Quote
glen Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Caveman, before you say that sending cruise missiles into factories is a good thing, make sure that you know what the situation was. It is pretty well documented that the pharmaceuticals plant in Sudan was not a chemical weapons factory. We had bad intelliegence and we messed up. The effect of this mistake is that hundreds of thousands of people are dying of preventable diseases. Does the US have a responsibility to make up for mistakes any less than any other country? A quote I heard once that really stuck with me was along the lines of, "many in the world do not hate the US for its values, but rather when the US departs from its values" Quote

But I doubt hundreds of thousands are dead because of this one "mistake". How do you make up for errors like that. You cant. Just roll with the punches and move on learn from it. Maybe someone in Sudan should get their head out of ass and take some action then. Quote

snoboy Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 (edited) You are right...in fact..."We Cannot Proceed!" And Luna's posts aren't showing up on the "Recent Posts" search. ???

Luna Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 That’s one opinion I suppose. But why do we keep mucking around we’re not wanted? That money could be spent on better causes. Back in the 60’s the world had a different view of America. Back then we spent about 2% of foreign aid in World Health Programs, US AID, agriculture, engineering, etc. Now non-military spending around the world for the US is about .02%. So more and more they see us as some type of occupying force or the backers of repressive regimes. Israel is a good example. We spout the democracy thing, wave the flag, and then bomb the shit outta people or support their non-democratic governments. Oh that’s right – it’s in our “national interest” Quote
Luna Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Why did my apostrophies turn into garble? Is this place run by Microsoft? Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 You right-wing twats sure got your tits in a twist over that, didn't you? And you talk about liberal whiners ... please. Go piss up a flagpole, you dinx. Just don't get any on your precious rag, of course; wouldn't want to rinse any of the blood out of it and stain the precious lily white! "good bye America, fuck you America!" Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Bwa ha ha ha ha! Friday is fucking boring, dude. Dr. Flash Amazing is now leaving the building. Quote
Fairweather Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 Perhaps the French CAN help the United Stetes in this war without sacrificing their pacifist beliefs. They can show Saddam and his troops the proper way to wave a white flag! Their expertise in this practice remains unchallenged. Quote
MtnGoat Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 "Might makes right!" Certainly seems to be acceptable to use in domestic social policies and goals you support. Apparently, might does make right! Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 "good bye America, fuck you America!" The US and world will be better off without your scum. That’s one opinion I suppose. The feelings are mutual. Quote
glacierdog Posted February 1, 2003 Author Posted February 1, 2003 I'll tell ya what DFA, troll or not, the anti-American shit you spew ain't cuttin it much anymore. You really ought to take Cavey's advice and move the fuck outta our country if this is the way you really feel. All the way trask. Really, if you're going to bitch about something in the United States, take a trip overseas. Spend some time in Thailand. Here, there are so many people with different opinions WHO HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOICE THEM, that there is always reform occuring. We are a constantly evolving country, and that is why we are strong. So bitch about the government all you want. The fact is, without Uncle Sam looking out for all you spoiled, whiney little shits, you would be speaking another fucking language. Quote
