by unclebruce in

the mark of the idiot beasts

a few here, like trauma hound are stressing out about the idiots, fools and internet cowards who hit and run thier posts.

well get used to it boys and girls the internet is as crazy as all get on.

Is it closed minded to be so smug and sure of your own opinion that you do not allow for the possibility of a dissenting view? Isn't it intolarance when dissenting views are viewed universally as idiocy? I realize that there do exist true idiots who are on both sides of certain issues discussed on this board however and I do not wish to defent their actions, but not all veiwpoints on either side are experessed so ineloquently. I would hope that the purpouse of our discussions with each other is not to come to an agreement or a consensus, but a tolerance for people being allowed to have their point of view and a mutual respect for those who can express themselves without lowering themselves to common mudslinger. I think we all have a lot to learn from each other this way and it truly helps us to further explore our own humanity.

You can help only those who want to be helped, some would rather go down with a ship because they are afraid of a dingy.

i know i wouldn't let my 14 year old near this place.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/48684/1.ashx.

I mean, I would think it would get to a point to where it became no use to even have a board if there had to be so many sanctions put upon reading it and membership. Its like most forms of entertainment, you would hope that parents are keeping tabs and controlling what their children can have access to, but then again, what those limits are are up to the individual parent.

I can see how it would make people uncomfortable to have some of their stuff read by minors, but I don't think you should be too nervous about it. There is just so much you can't control and most everyone here behaves themselves in a manner that normal people would in public, even with all the disagreement that goes on.

What bothers/worries you most about the war ?

by m0nk3y in

there seems to be quite a few concerned people out the regarding this war in iraq and for good reason.

so what exaclty is bothering you about it, does it involve the very real fact that alot of innocent blood could/will be shed ?

are you fearing this could all be a part of bible/wts prophecy ?

The UN was playing Saddam's appeasement game. Even Hans Blix said that Saddam has no credability. Saddam was saying that he had no chemical weapons, now we find out that he is planning to use them against our troops? What were the inspections accomplishing? Saddam wasn't cooperating, was never going to cooperate and the UN gave in to him every time like bad parents with a disobediant child. So called 'success' was measured by how saddam could push out a few weapons in front of the inspectors that he formerly claimed not to have and that he had a lot more of that he wasn't telling the UN. He would have played this game perpetually until he had the time to develop even worse weapons and the US was forced to send its troops home.

Bush just wants the oil!!!

by dubla in

i posted this on another thread, but i thought a new thread might help get the ball rolling: .

i have a simple question for all those that believe this war is solely about oil: .

what exactly do you believe bush is going to do with the oil fields after the war?.

RandomTask

Basically the 'real' reason for the war is anything but what Bush says it is. Opposition or the formulation of these 'conspiracy theories' is simply a political agenda of the left to discredit and oppose their political enemies. The left has abject hatred for conservatives and they are showing their true colors on a daily basis.

Confusion about support for forces and support for war

by Simon in

the government here is claiming that support for the war is growing and encouraging people to 'get behind our forces'.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/2863055.stm.

i think they are taking advantage of the fact that people will naturally support "our forces" to make out that people are then supporting the governments actions.

to put it another way, just because people oppose the war does not mean that they want "our forces" to lose.
