snuffbox Posted October 27, 2006 Report Posted October 27, 2006 GOP MONEY TREE! TAX CUTS FOR SOME IS SAME AS FOR ALL! KILL EM ALL N LET FREEDOM SORT EM OUT!
Dobbs 3K Posted October 27, 2006 Report 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.
Guest CWMwasmurdered Posted October 27, 2006 Report 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.
PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 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. Seriously. Can some people honestly not understand that, or are they just being deliberately obtuse?
SuperJerk Posted October 28, 2006 Report 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
Spicy McHaggis Posted October 28, 2006 Report 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.
Guest CWMwasmurdered Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 a Great Wall It didn't stop the Mongols. What America needs is a Typhoon machine to use on the Mexicans.
Dobbs 3K Posted October 28, 2006 Report 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! My taxes went down almost 100%!" either.
snuffbox Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 Dang, I must keep forgetting how America invaded Japan in the 40s to make them free. My intelligence is clearly overestimated. I'm going to go spend more of my 96% tax-cut windfall now.
Guest Felonies! Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 STOP using the "talking points" argument. I'm warning you now. Did anybody else do the NWO-era Scott Hall fingers? "Oooohhh."
snuffbox Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 I did! Maybe he thinks I'm a Mexican.
snuffbox Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 American casualties in October are up to 98, the 4th worst month since the war began. Mission Accomplished, indeed.
Dobbs 3K Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 American casualties in October are up to 98, the 4th worst month since the war began. Mission Accomplished, indeed. The question is, will the networks throw parties if the number reaches 100, while giving somber reports on the air?
snuffbox Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 Would you rather they not mention this stuff at all? I don't get why the media is lambasted for talking about soldier casualties.
snuffbox Posted October 28, 2006 Report 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. Almost 100 young Americans are dead in one single month. It IS a big deal.
SuperJerk Posted October 29, 2006 Report Posted October 29, 2006 Eliminate ALL welfare and there's plenty of money for military/national security. Um, no. Post-WWII Japan. Your point?
snuffbox Posted October 29, 2006 Report Posted October 29, 2006 At least he's trying to find one time in the entire history of mankind that his beloved idea has worked.
SuperJerk Posted October 29, 2006 Report Posted October 29, 2006 Not a good example. The Japanese already had the Taisho Democracy just prior to the war.
snuffbox Posted October 29, 2006 Report 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.
Spicy McHaggis Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 1. http://www.taxpayersnetwork.org/DesktopDef...&TabId=3404 2. I have NEVER changed the reasoning for going into the invasion. EVER. 3. Give me one example of the last time two democratic countries went to war with each other.
Spicy McHaggis Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 That's the kind of response I was expecting. I'll go back to ignoring you now. Thank you CE! You've been... well, you've just been. I'm out of here!
snuffbox Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 The October toll hit 101 today. The Ultra Socialist Media have not shot off the confetti yet.

Spicy McHaggis Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 You have chosen to ignore all posts from: snuffbox. · View this post · Un-ignore snuffbox
snuffbox Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 That's a far better idea than trying to prove your limp point.
Art Sandusky Posted October 30, 2006 Report 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.
