Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted October 10, 2004 Seeing as how it's a warzone and all, are any of those contractors or anything allowed to arm themselves when they're over there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MikeSC Report post Posted October 10, 2004 Who can I blame? You are simply pathetic, that's all I can say to that. Anyway, back to something worth talking about. I was watching something today, I don't remember if it was CNN or FOX, but anyway they had an independent contractor from somewhere in the US on there talking about how he is getting ready to go over to Iraq for work. He kept saying how it isn't actually bad over there and that it would be perfectly safe for him to go. I just couldn't believe it. Had he been doing drugs before the interview? History of suicide attempts? Cause I need a reason WHY anyone would have EVER wanted to go to Iraq? Anyone? Do they have an active theater community? Well, for a lot of them, they make A LOT of money going there. The pay, from what I gather, is exceptionally generous. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MikeSC Report post Posted October 10, 2004 If I knew some INXS songs I'd reply RWC. *goes to Google to look for INXS song titles* OK, here I go: I don't know about a new sensation, but I hope you don't lose your head over a coherent INXS thought... Does he unleash the Devil Inside? -=Mike ...Man, I got nothing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest INXS Report post Posted October 11, 2004 If anyone has read my Love Sex and Dating threads, surely my girlfriend has to be a "Suicidal Blonde". Damn even I'M ripping on myself.... Anyhow, I DO blame the terrorists, and no one FORCED Bigley to go oer there to work, i'm sure he was fully aware of the dangers...so no, Bush & Blair aren't directly responsible, of course not..but they did trigger a chain of events that lead up to this.. So since you live in England, I guess if you drove into London and some IRA crazy blew you up, it wouldn't be his fault because England were assholes to Irish Catholics and no one forced you to drive to work. That's a poor comparison to make - it's not as if the IRA were active in England because Bush & Blair claimed they had WMD, there were none, they went and invaded Northern Ireland anyway, screwed up the infastructure and made it a hotbed for other terrorist activity...

Except how England has treated Ireland makes any complaints people have about how America and friends treated Iraq look feeble in comnparison. Ever read John Locke there INXS??? Catholics in Ireland had it much worse than Iraqis--hence the reason the IRA was around and all the anti-English feelings over in Ireland. So I think it's a fine comparison--England did things to Ireland that was wrong, so those poor people are justly rebelling according to you. Also, explain how England didn't ruin Ireland's infastructure in the olden days.....? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest INXS Report post Posted October 12, 2004 The situation in Northern Ireland is and was totally different. British forces were initially sent over there to PROTECT the catholic communities FROM Paramilitary attacks. No British force went over to Northern Ireland, or anywhere in Ireland with 'shock and awe' tactics after claiming that NI/Eire had WMD's! It's two entirely different situations!

I'll admit I made a mistake--I wrote John Locke when I meant Jonathan Swift. However, I don't mean England's treatment of Ireland NOW, I mean how they treated Ireland for years upon years back in the olden days when being Catholic meant you were a second class citizen. If it's ok in your eyes for Iraqis to retaliate aganist Americans and British, why can't the Irish--once again England treated them MUCH MUCH worse than we've treated Iraq.

Guest MikeSC Report post Posted October 13, 2004 Give him time, Mike. Should we opine that Bush's great grandfather bankrolled the IRA for a little while? It has as much factual basis as the rest of his rants. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
