i just wanted to get some opinions on this matter from everyone.

support here in the states is pretty solid but very weak in europe.

i will make my prediction (ie you know) that we will be having a little sand party within a year.

But, I'd rather see a deathmatch in a small Quake 3 arena, broadcast across the planet. The loser is shipped off to a small island full of JWs ....

hehe and when GB 2.0 rail guns Saddam the word "Impressive" echoes around the world.

Another reason why I'm against this is the issue of Depleted Uranium (DU)

DU is made from leftover U238, which is one of three types of uranium (U234, U235, U238). It is highly radioactive and has a half-life of 4.2 billion years. The military uses DU inside of different weapons because it is very dense and makes the shells penetrate deeper, etc.

A 120mm tank round contains 10 pounds of DU (4000 grams). In the Gulf War the US fired almost a million DU rounds and left 1,400 wrecked radioactive Iraqi tanks.

There was a whole CBC show on it and here are some quotes from the CBC report:

Rostker himself reported in 1998 that American soldiers in their thousands had been unnecessarily exposed to DU; this seven years after the end of the Gulf War, when it was first used.

The number of Gulf War vets who were in contact with radioactive tanks or breathed in contaminated dust could be in the tens of thousands. Yet so far, only a fraction -- about 200 vets, like Jerry Wheat -- are being monitored. The Pentagon still insists there is not enough evidence to link exposure with illness.

The US knew of this during the Gulf War: http://www.tv.cbc.ca/national/pgminfo/du/doc1.html

Now this crap is littering Afghanistan and Kosovo. Who is going to pay for all this cleanup? Aren't these people going to be a little mad when they find out we are darn near making their country glow in the dark? Do a google search and you can find links to pages showing all the odd deaths and birth defects, etc that people/babies in Iraq have been suffering since the end of the Gulf War.

Also, there is A LOT of information on it at the BBC. A few quotes:

Both the US and the UK acknowledge that the dust can be dangerous if it is inhaled, though they say the danger is short-lived, localised, and much more likely to lead to chemical poisoning than to irradiation.
Many veterans from the Gulf and Kosovan wars, though, believe that DU has made them seriously ill.

Doug Rokke, a former US army colonel who served in Vietnam, was sent to the Gulf in 1991 to advise on cleaning up radioactive debris.
He says almost every member of the team of 30 experts he took with him is now seriously ill, and three have died of lung cancer.
Others say they have children born with defects.

I could post VOLUMES of information on this stuff. I worry about the effects of this on Americans as well as Iraqis.

no it's all on record.

on the dateline program they showed official watchtower documents that showed the dude in nevada had been accused by 17 girls in congregations around the country of being molested by him.

seawolf

Thanks for all the comments

I fully agree with everything that's been said. Not much that I can add to it other than to say that this would have really bothered me before. I've chilled out now and don't take things personally.

sorry to not be able to add much more to this...dunno why but my mind is totally blank. oh well

Put Them To Death! Poll

i believe punishment meted out to these despicable "parents" should be:

[ ] have the state put them to death!

[ ] have the state imprison them for life!

seawolf

I don't want this scum sitting in jail and my tax dollars going to support them and have them get their three meals a day, internet, workout equipment, getting their law degree in prison, finding God, etc... while I am out there busting my a** earning a living.

Fry em.

. . .and got shotdown. It basically ended when she said that perhaps nothing was known about what was going on or the people just didn't want to come forward...so I said:

no it's all on record. on the dateline program they showed official watchtower documents that showed the dude in nevada had been accused by 17 girls in congregations around the country of being molested by him. finally one of them squeeled to the police and he's in prison now for 40 years i believe. bill bowen in kentucky quit being the PO of the hall after he found confidential documents in the hall's file showing that one of the elders in the hall had sexually molested one of the girls in the hall a decade ago and nothing was done. at my hall here in *edited name of city* there was a guy when we moved here and several ppl told us to stay away from him as he was sexually abusing all the boys he was adopting (he had ummm 3?). nothing happened to him until someone got lucky and found him in downtown miami, florida and shot and killed him hehe. he probably got ahold of the wrong boy
i mean i'm serious..i'm not trying to start something with you...u ask a question and i answer it. you want me to not say another word and i won't say another word. it's all cool

Well, it was quiet for a bit and then she answered by saying she was tired and going to bed and left before I could even say a word. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr am I that bad for bringing this up !? I don't see what's so bad about them hearing this? Earlier in the convo I got the stuff about they were warned about the stuff on tv and articles about this stuff and that it's apostacy.

oh well

Well, I'm not really for the United States attacking another sovereign country unless there's some damn good proof of a damn good reason to attack them. Thus far I haven't seen zilch evidence of anything. And, thus far, all the reason for attacking Saddam (making weapons of mass destruction, gassing his own ppl blah blah) the US has the same things (who has the most nukes in the world and is the only country to have used it on another country?) and has done the same things (the US has sprayed more chemicals around the world [agent orange, etc] than just about anyone?) in the past. Doesn't help that who knows what the chain reaction of events will be if this thing starts, as the following hyperlink will illustrate: www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-376516,00.html ..A quick quote from the article about what will probably happen if Iraq attacks Israel during this:

Israels likely reaction would be nuclear ground bursts against every Iraqi city not already occupied by US-led coalition forces.

Now don't get me wrong--I think Saddam is a bad dude and should go and he's killed a crapload of people--on purpose. However, the US can't just go blasting up other ppl's countries just because they don't like the leader(s). Nor should we go after Saddam just because he's sitting on top of the world's second largest oil reserves (http://www.worldwiseworldwide.com/GeoFacts/energy-1.shtml) I could go on all day here but this is enough for now.

As you can see, I keep my opinions to myself

I don't remember what show she is going to be on, but the lady that ended up drinking her breastmilk (not the one that was on the Factor tonight) will be on tomorrow I think.

I agree that our rights right now are going to be extinct before long--the ones we have left.

that and then the 80 year-old guy who was handcuffed for saying "What do you expect to find in there, a rifle?" when he saw one of the airport screeners looking into his wallet
