Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2006 snuffbox, you "explaining how much a great wall will cost" amounted to petty name calling and pandering in a completely unrelated thread, IIRC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CWMwasmurdered Report post Posted October 27, 2006 Also, every instance in human history of people asserting their freedom is an example of coerced freedom. All freedom is coerced because it involves overthrowing some power and asserting your rights. There's a huge difference between a popular uprising and having a foreign power invade.

SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 snuffbox seems to be having almost the exact same argument with McHaggis that I had with him last week in the Korea thread. Eric, start naming alternatives. If you're going to criticize, you need to have a solution in mind. "Do it differently," is not a solution. I just said I advocate the idealistic solution, but it's seeming less and less like it will work. I'm not suggesting the possibility of leveling every city. If you want an example, let's talk about Iran. I'm talking about attacking their nuclear locations as well as their capital, if it is justified. And then, IF they start rebuilding their nuclear capabilities, leveling those again. Just throwing this out there again... Joe Biden's Iraq Plan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spicy McHaggis 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 Snuffbox, you're either deliberately ignorant or I'm overestimating your intelligence. A married couple with two children and an income of $40,000 had their taxes cut by 96%. That's middle-class. Do some research. STOP using the "talking points" argument. I'm warning you now. Also, work on your reading comprehension. Eliminate ALL welfare and there's plenty of money for military/national security. Expensive things I'm in favor of: Defense, a Great Wall, costs incurred from protecting the right to life of the unborn. Again, I basically only want the government to take care of national security and roads... if you take everything else away there's PLENTY of money. Post-WWII Japan.

Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 I've only been married for three years, but our family income has been roughly in that range and I don't recall our taxes going down 96%...don't know of anyone who was yelling "WOW!

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 A dead soldier deserves as much time on American television as possible. Enough with this chickenhawk bullshit of pretending war is all good & fun.

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2006 Another glaring problem for the War-cheerleaders, if you have to change the reasoning for going into the invasion this many times...probably a good indication that it was a bad idea to begin with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2006 But you're not really discussing the issue with him. Name calling, joking, and dismissal are not equal to proving your point either. I stopped because Spicy and myself are simply going to disagree about this and nothing either of us is going to say is going to change the other's mind. I'm going to do what I've done for the last three and a half years, that being sitting back and letting events prove me right. It's a shame that horrible things have to happen in order to reinforce my position on this war, but that's what it's going to take to get those who still support it to see the error of their ways.
