How about Canada moves in on your block takes your house and says you have to move to this corner of the city. See if you dont join an anti canada militia. Also George Gallaway is more then a loud talker, go watch the video of him before congress and tell me thats not a smart articulate man. Your making a big stink over your view of an organization that you dont seem to have much knowledge of. their is more to life then what George Bush tells you to believe.

George Bush started this whole Israel thing? I was not aware of that. Didn't realize it was so new. You're right, I'm no mideast expert, but my country considers them a terrorist organization and so do I.

It appears as though my assertion that this belief was more wide spread was wrong.

I never said George Bush started the isreal problem, I believe that started after WW2. When you say my country considers them a terrorist org. I am guessing you mean the Government. If you believe everything that this government tells you then I bet you still believe that they are gonna find WMD in Iraq, also that the war in Iraq is about fighting terroism and not just settling a vendetta and scooping some oil while we're at it.

SK, I think you're turning this into something personal. I also think you might lean a little to the Liberal side. BTW, that oil thing's working out great!!

And yeah, by "our country" I meant our government--your government--the government of the greatest country in the world.

Now, go forth....and watch out for the black helicopters.

Since we're already off the subject, I'd just like to point out we've already found a bunch of WMDs in Iraq. Unless over 4,000 Barrrels of Mustard Gas(considered a Chemical WMD) don't count for some strange reason.

Mustard gas found by Iraq weapon hunters | Iraq | Guardian Unlimited lol buddy I hope your joking. show me your story. Yes this is the greatest country right now, but Rome will burn eventually. the canadian dollar is worth more then ours.

Poker is a game where players intentionally try to get under the skin of opposing players. Anyone hear of Mike Matasow and Tony G? A screen name like this is just another feeble attempt to do just that. Lighten up Francis and play the game. A couple years ago I had a long beard. My Halloween costume was a bed sheet turban and a camo jacket. I looked like OBL's cousin. Some people might have found it offensive, but the person who thought it was the funniest was a friend who just got back from Afghanistan.

If I found Hezballa at my table, I wouldn't even mind if he issued a jihad on my chips in the chat box. I'd find it funny. It takes a lot to offend me.

what? there's oil there? Surely that can't have been a main motivation for all this invasion malarkey?

Right and wrong, good and evil, Freedom Fighter and Terrorist are all about perspective, a mere point of view. It simply comes down to (at a base level) where do you draw the line and on what side of it do you stand on. Understand this, Governments have agendas that we have no understanding of, we speculate but we don't know.Thankfully, I have always been taught to question authority and never follow blindly. This allows me (or so I think) to make decisions based on as much fact as is available. And 1 fact is that this Country (US) chooses to make all opposers into enemies unless they have a financial or political interest.
No matter what the reason, no man/woman should die for someone else's cause. It seems absurd to me that a young boy can die for this country but can't even have a beer in his hometown.
just some random thoughts from the left.

Getting a bit off track from the original discussion here, but I would like to say that what I find most disturbing about the war in Iraq (which is a part of the war on terrorism BTW) is the distinct difference between the way the war is reported in the media and the way it is viewed by those who live it.

I have the honor of serving in a command of highly inteligent, highly trained, and highly motivated Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technicians.

Yesterday I attended the memorial service for the sixth member of our command to give his life for our country in the past six months. I have never heard anyone in uniform discuss OIF or OEF as a vendetta or as a mission to "scoop some oil."

What I have seen and heard are pictures and stories of massive weapons caches that our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines have found and destroyed. I have seen many awards presented for levels of bravery and valor that are beyond my level of comprehension. I have seen mothers and fathers of new born children volunteer for arduous duty to go BACK to Iraq for the most dangerous mission in the world. I have seen liberal bastards get in my wife's face to give their un-needed oppinions of hatred when we were collecting funds for the orphaned daughter of an American hero.

Believe me when I say that those who fight and live the war see it differently then those who report and protest it.

Back on subject... I'm more offended by Chris Ferguson being nicknamed "Jesus" than I am by Hezbolla, and I'm not at all offended by Ferguson. I'm not one to judge though, I feel there is way too much judging and attention to political correctness in our society. I can't fault anyone for conforming to our society's norms, but I can dislike the current standards.

[RTBrandy]

this entire topic is ridiculous.

If a guys screen name can put someone on tilt, perhaps they don't have the temperment for poker?

NYAH NYAH..MY FLAG IS BIGGER THAN YOUR FLAG
