A Soldier

Yeah true... altough war has a big part to play in it. What I meant is that it wouldn't be as big as it is right now if America hadn't go to war. Of course I do Speaking of parks, Central park is a very nice place to visit if you're planning on a trip to NYC. Then there's american football. I like it more than canadian's. Better rules. Umm what else? Hollywood movies too, even if most of them are crappy, movies have always been a good way of getting a girl or changing my mind so thank you for that haha Umm what else? There must be other things, so if I think of more of em, I'll write em up.

Why? FAS's website is credible and the essay was very coherant and made more than enough sense to me. You're just saying it's wrong yet you read nothing... again Okay, so the story was correct? You're just trying to revive the old debate about ethics of declaring war to a country for whatever purposes. Why not use the UN if the USA hardly believed they were in danger because of Iraq..? Think of it. Would you have this huge--*BAD WORD*- deficit right now? Deaths: would there be any? Be my guest Tasc, I'll sure miss you

oh yeah, forgot to put a link about the "Rumsfeld case": http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/09/04/...ain520830.shtml http://www.sundayherald.com/40723

lmfao

http://www.ratical.com/ratville/CAH/RRiraqWar.htmlOf course, there is no 100% sure proof, because if you ask the government if he went for oil, he'll automaticly deny it. Read above link. I haven't completly read nintendo's FAS website due to a lack of time, but from what I could, they said they weren't any. http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/iraq/index.html Again, read it for yourself. Are you refering to Gulf War I ou II? If you mean the second one, Bush ordered inspectors to go away because he was ready to invade (correct me if I'm wrong, that was some time ago). And no, I was not sleeping during thoses days. Where did I ever say that? Remember neocolonialism? *Cleary*, I do.......

combien tu veux parier quil va parler de souveraineté et du flq

Well first, a soldier is someone who fights for a cause, not necessarly with weapons or is enlisted in the military. Second, this is a nickname, and it has nothing to do with my real life. So... Wow, saying my country has a big Intelligence Department sure gives me something to brag about. Personnally, I don't believe in the "virtuousness" (sp?) of your Intelligence, nor your military. Again, this is only my opinion. But so far, it has been critisized so many times about things they did wrong, things they refused to clear up on the motives of invading Iraq, so many things that it pisses me off. How will you react if you find out that the true motives weren't exactly about taking Saddam off power and because of WMDs? Do you think that on the beginning of the war Iraqis _really_ saw the coalition as their "liberators? Do you believe everything you see on TV? Honestly, I don't believe in CNN's credibility in political stories. Other than that, Great Britain has to admit they are WMDs because they were the first to join up US's coalition and send out massive troops in Iraq. If it happens that it wasn't for WMDs but for oil, for exemple, ramifications in GB will be huge. I don't get your second sentence... Yes, the 2000 elections were rigged. I will not argue with you on that unless you insist but just take the Florida case... Gore was supposed to win. You don't piss me off either, as long as we stay sport All I ask is that you try to at least understand my point of view. That's it. Indeed, it was wrong. To Tascar: This is the most pathetic excuse I've seen from you for now. I bet you read it, and you got frustrated to a point of skipping the rest and posting this crap. Refrain from writing or even posting in the political board if you can't accept other people points of view. Thank you.

LMAO. True. Very true even.

Now you've reached an annoying level like never before Tascar. I made a little research, and for the political board only, you accused people of finger pointing at least 9 times. Like Bacchus said, why _can't you_ admit AT LEAST some of the facts we are showing you.

What I get is that perhaps you were wrong on that point: You might also want to check out what the website has to say about WMDs also, it's quite interesting

Tascar... when did you ever prove me wrong? All you seem to be saying is Great. Why? Valid reasons for invading Iraq? Which ones? You see, I demand nothing but the truth. Tell me then if I am that wrong. I'm out of my mind? For stating my point? lol, wee! Hatred? Okay let me re-read my post. Umm... where do you see hatred? But then, while we are at it, could it be possible that you are somehow frustrated? I have asked you questions, and the only answer I got, pitiful, may I add, was: . Waiting for your thoughts

What the -*BAD WORD*-? Because I disagree with your foreign policies I hate your country? Jeesus Christ' date=' now you sound like Bush: "either you are with me, or you are against me". Do you agree with his statement? One day... (now now, I'm being utopic!)

No, this is not the end of the discussion. We pointed many times the fact that the US backed up thoses terrorists. You don't agree? Read previous posts. If I suspect the US of the same thing, does it grant me the right to invade it? WMDs??? Okay, let me remind you that no Weapons of M!@#$%^&* Destructions have been found in Iraq. Yes, Saddam killed his own people, a very wrong thing to do. I hate him for that. But did you know that they are legal ways to come to a solution before going to war? Onward You act like there is only the US who helps the rest of the world! -*BAD WORD*-o?? This is one earth where we should act peacefully and not attack our neighborhood because he possess oil. Tough decisions? Like what? I would like to conclude with that statement. If this is going to make you shut it for a while, then you must be awared that the UN has a charter for members who joined up (and that includes the US)? This is not exactly what I was looking for.. but it gives you an idea. What I was looking for was something where they say you can't attack a country who is a UN member along with other rules.. Well, Iraq is and will still be in the future believe me. Can anyone help me with that?

Rumsfeld? I don't see what's wrong with that guy... when the two planes crashed into the twin towers, he suggested Bush to immediatly attack Iraq, as the world's attention would have been elsewhere. Nothing wrong with that uh? Remember Blix's 12 thousands pages report? US tore out around 8 thousands pages of it right? Well someone said in it that he should be accused of war crimes. But hey, anybody can be accused of that so pfft! Go Rummy!

okayy lmao alright, first of all, I couldn't know you weren't "completly serious" about it. I've seen people post useless -*BAD WORD*- that I wouldn't have been impressed if what you posted really was. Anyways, okay, my bad. You say that the US is second to the richest income in the world. Facts prove it, indeed. But do you know who controls the majority of that wealth? You think it's you? Or other americans who work 40hours/week? Guess what? Nope, they don't. Major companies CEOs, politicians, thoses are the people who do. Did you know over 30 millions americans live in povrety? Fortunatly, thank God you are the second richest country in the world and you do something for them! Armies proportional to their pop's size if they can afford it? Okay... what for? Enemies? What enemies does Brazil have? What enemies does Canada have? What enemies does Germany have? Oh wait, maybe it's because the US has more enemies that all of theses countries that they feel they should have a bigger army? But why? Is it because you didn't ratify Kyoto? Is it because you invaded Afghanistan? Is it because you invaded Iraq and gave no serious proof about your invasion? Is it because you don't give a -*BAD WORD*- about the UN? Is it because you don't give a -*BAD WORD*- about the rest of the world? We want your wealth? LoL! Come one, be serious for a moment, the US controls a good part of the world's wealth right now. Perhaps its big problem is that, on this 21st century, your country is still imperialist? propaganda - information that is spread for the purpose of promoting some cause Ever thought about what you listened on the TV or the radio and say to yourself: "and what if it wasn't true?" Oh I see, you weren't completly serious about what you posted... right?

what the -*BAD WORD*-? That's one absurb argument... here's some fact

bin laden called up a djihad on americans decades ago... are you sure you know what you are talking about?

Maybe not the Koran, but I was thinking of the Sharia (sp?), which is, fortunatly, only adopted by a minority of muslim people?

I thought no religions allowed killing... :/ (killing as in killing an other human being)

Which is a bad thing... right?

-nvm-

I just saw I've made a big mistake... when refering to Chavez, I meant he was president of Venezuela, not Brazil.. my big bad

interesting post nintendo. Have you read this essay? http://www.ratical.com/ratville/CAH/RRiraqWar.html I'd be more than happy if you could give me your opinion on it

Tascar... lol. I know that there are sweatshops troughout the world, obviously I should have made a bigger deal out of it, but what's the ratio Africa-Asia / northern rich world? (A little more on the Af-As side in case you were wondering). I don't understand how you can compare old people in elderly home (don't their kids put them there? or don't they do it by choice?) and blue collar workers to an whole population.. that's like comparing apples with oranges. I am okay with the fact that you disagree with my opinions, but I am stating the facts, how is that "finger pointing -*BAD WORD*-ing"? You ain't giving me any other valuable arguments to prove me wrong, you're just stating I'm wrong with no reasons... Why personnal attacks by the way? And also, you claim I am blaming the USA for everything, which is wrong. Man, I just came back from a trip in New York on last weekend and I have to admit that I found the city amazing. You're dismissing my "Chavez/CIA link conspiracy theorist crap" and yet you bring nothing to support your point. Again, I probably said it in an earlier post, but the USA overthrown many governments before (Iran, Nicaragua, etc...), which wouldn't surprise me if they what was said on the news was right. well.. he almost chocked while eating a bretzel' date=' he fell off a segway (you have to teach me how to do that...) and more recently, he fell off his bike. Does that count? P.S.: I am doing something about it right now, if you can call it like that. I boycott certain compagnies (Esso (ExxonMobil in the US), Starbucks Coffee, S-*BAD WORD*-, Costco), keep myself awared on the news and talk with friends on events that occur troughout the world, as currently, I don't much political powers [img']http://www.ssforum.net/public/style_emoticons/default/blum.gif[/img] P.P.S:

I don't see what's funny about neocolonialism.. Nintendo is right about it: if you'd read a little about it, maybe you'd be awared that some big american multinationals are installed in Africa, Asia or South America employing kids and adults with -*BAD WORD*-ty conditions and -*BAD WORD*-ty salary, also known as sweat shops. I'm still amazed to know that Africa, home of many important ressources, only posses 1% of the world's market today. I don't know much about the dominican republic, but Cuba has been one of America's biggest target, probably because of its strategical position. A little bit like Bresil, whose current president Chavez is the target of assassination attempts, which are linked to the CIA, supporting guerrilleros. And what is there in Bresil? Oil, of course...
