Well, monday arrives and the world is still here...
Thank god.
For those followers of this thread, take note.
the various ways to distract a thread, and the various methods used to bash it.
This thread had ACTIVE posters who tried to nothing but confuse other posters and the issue...
We had official Iranian demographic "Know it alls" that hadn't even read the purpose of the thread, going on and on about how Iran could never
attack us... geee yeah... your comments are worthless in regards to this topic so
you should have started your own
We had knee jerkers that posted a simple comment on these distractors, which served to further distract...
I myself posted more than 5 times, and 3 were to TRY to get people back on topic... and not lead people into a
whole other issue regarding iran and
the USA war threat. in fact they didn't even need to start a new thread, there are already several that are going on exactly that topic...
Instead of rational debate over the potential for the USA to do such a thing, or the rational debate over whether to trust a hooker or not...
or even a rational debate over other signs that something is pending...
we get every other post going on about something that isn't even discussed or considered by the "true readers" of the post...
A bunch of wasted pages, and a bunch of wasted time, made so much worse by all the people that love to comment, but hate to read...
this should have been a 5 page (at most) thread being it was a hoax... but was hard to even read thru to get the gist thanks to so many worthless
comments.
And Shugo: thanks for at least addressing the main issue. But as regards you personal feeling toward the possibility... I hope you are right...
But ask youself, what is the reason that we are at war right now? (the war against terrorism, not iraq)
isn't it against the religious extremists? (Islamic wahhabists to be specific)
If you would like, i can give you that exact verbatim quote from the US president.
I can also quote you where the government has said repeatidly that we must be willing to sacrifice personal freedoms for our TOP goal of security.
(the entire justification for the Patriot act)
I can show you where the very same government isn't even increasing border safety
which is like saying... its cold in here... lets close the window.. but leave that door open would ya?
It is a sham... and we are NOT stupid...
If our government were serious, the borders would be closed, the airlines would be profiling. and above all
we would not be giving tons of money to the only state that requires you to be extremist islamic and want to kill infidels. Saudi Arabia
So with the justification of the removal of our rights stripped to nothing...
do you still think that the safety of our country is the goal of our administration? (or control?)
Also, has there been (at any time in the past) a major player (vice president) making so much money off every move we make towards war?
Warnings from Eisenhower are clear... dont give anyone in the military industrial complex, power!
for an exact and ominous warning go here:
Eisenhowers immortal words:
But again... I hope and pray that you are right.
