This is what I heard on the radio the other day. NPR. Caller calls in and says, "why aren't we talking about our kill ratio, our number of terrorists killed?" I think that's true, at least for other wars you could make the case that yes, the Battle of the Bulge was horrible, but we also attacked them an did damage etcetera. But now we're not even doing that. And I think there's a few reasons. Most people, when given a statistic at this point like, "America killed x number of insurgants today" wouldn't even believe it anymore. The enemy doesn't wear uniforms, so who's to say that that number might not contain 10% or 30% innocents? Further, your average American has no gripe with going to war with the people that caused 9/11, people who want to come over here and blow us up. But we have absolutely zero interest in having our own people go off and die fighting both sides of a civil war that has nothing to do with us anymore. American lives, capitol, and worldwide power and renown are worth more than the Iraqi civil war.

There is NOTHING Hilary can do at this point. She's wasting donors' money (and her own)

Excuse me, but it wasn't your friends who he was saying "deserved" their past sexual assaults. If I recall correctly the thread had nothing to do with Islam, and everything to do with The Great Satan (Duke). The only reason I'd have for not wanting him back (and you) is that I already can post with you at The Pit to my hearts content, and this CE board was different. You all will bring your "total war" to this board too, and dominate it as well. Oh well.

Oh God. x2

Getting 10 kills in Cruel Brawl is a daunting task! (So far I've gotten 8)

But a fair look at Bush isn't very flattering.

I'm gonna head on back to the flip flop flippity flop...

Talking about two saids implies a sort of equality that just doesn't exist I3k.

Oh fuck yeah. Only one man could be better: But we'd have to amend the constitution.

Recall, then, that all the sailing in Wind Waker was HORRIBLE

The frustrating thing is that the goalline on the Global Warming issue keeps getting moved. At first there was no such thing. Now it's happening, but it's natural. Obviously I've made a big deal out of it, but by all indications it's actually happening faster than we predicted. And it won't stop right away, no matter what we do. Come on guys.

That goes down if the plane is not full, however. And smaller planes have worse efficency.

Well we got this too... I swear, why do we stay in Iraq if all we're doing is funding people like this? They are not supportive of any sort of democracy that we'd support...

Then by god I hope he lives to be 112, and hated every day of it...

My snark knows no bounds, Czech, no bounds.

Fix your router.

No. I was talking about the Iraqis. But it's not bad.

Well we do owe then a LOT of money. And we will continue to do so...

magnitudes more, at least 10x... BY the way, how old is the TITLE for this thread, hmm?

At least then cops can arrest someone who has a handgun. Things are different here. Again, why do you care? Do you think that YOUR elected officials would put this kind of thing into effect where YOU live?
-
Well appeal that shit. But for Christ's sake, keep handguns off of D.C.'s streets, please. What in the fuck do you care? Stay in the Midwest, leave D.C. to the D.C. folk. The fucking Mayor is trying to keep this ban in place, what right do these people think they have?
-
What is so frustrating is that its absolutely no one in DC trying to get this thing repealed, at least not D.C. residents. Its fucking Texans who are so fucking AFFRONTED that the national capitol decided that it is not in the city's best interest to have concealable weapons legal in the district. You want to defend your house? Pack a fucking shotgun. This decision was made FOR A REASON!!

Diesel will still get you further per gallon. I dunno if the MPG vs. $PG equals out, however.
