There’s 'opinions' and there's talking out of your ass. I don’t generally agree with gatewatcher's opinions but at least he can explain them with out sounding like a retard. 0 Share this post Link to post

S1lent Posted June 4, 2004 Since when is a month, new? New is like, 1 day - a week. And is your life really that boring that you actually took the time to look up when I registered? 0 Share this post Link to post
Scabbed Angel Posted June 4, 2004 I've been here a little over a year and I would think that to many, I'd be considered somewhat new. Don't take it as an insult, man. In any case, I thought Darkman 4 was making a joke. "You must be new if you think shitty political flamewars don't happen here". 0 Share this post Link to post

VinceDSS Posted June 4, 2004 Goliath said:No but the fact that we have the most we developed ecomony that is unrivaled by any country. Absolutely, completely, totally false statement. This was however true during the 40 years after the war (europe had to get rebuilt as well as asian countries, all of em paid big debts to the US). Foreign countries actually have much better economy, mainly because they have a system far more democratic and lighter than the US's. US economy is governed by huge lobbies which makes it a lot less effective. That's why a lot of jobs left the US to go to Europe and Eastern Europe... if the governement still maintain these strong lobbies, it'll surely not get better. 0 Share this post Link to post
Goliath Posted June 4, 2004 For one thing my Dad is a liberal too and I tell him he is a dumb ass all the time. Also don't critize me for being patriotic. 0 Share this post Link to post
fodders Posted June 4, 2004 You're not being criticised for being patriotic, but for being moronic :P 0 Share this post Link to post
S1lent Posted June 4, 2004 Ok, Ichor, really, it doesn't matter. Other than that, fine, have your meaningless discussion and waiste even more time of your life in a fight that will have no winner and will not influence anyone. Have fun children! I'm out. 0 Share this post Link to post
VinceDSS Posted June 5, 2004 Being "Patriotic", at least my definition, is to care for the good of all your fellow citizens and nation. I, too often, have the feeling that being a "Patriot" is to blindfoldedly take whatever the high placed guys up-there say as absolute truth. This actually not the case, whatever the US governement does it's surely not for the good of the american citizens (except a few times). Most of the stuff done is to help the guys close to the high-placed people, usually fat rich people owning several companies and making dough w/o really working by just "placing the dough somewhere" and playing with the numerous law tricks that the governement has set up for them (and obviously not for us the common citizens). 0 Share this post Link to post

VinceDSS Posted June 5, 2004 I agree, I would use the word "integrism" or "extremism" instead of terrorism. To paraphrase you, I remember this extremly bright thought from I dont remember who : What is Christianity/Islam/Judaism/etc... besides being a sect that succeeded ? 0 Share this post Link to post

You see, I know that quote because I have read other books beside the "Big book of Conservative platitudes!" Seriously, can’t you say ONE FUCKING THING that isn’t pulled out some shock’s jocks ass?S1lent said: I'm not going to put anymore input about my opinion on this. But could we please stop the meaningless political posts? They do nothing except bring arguements (which everyone knows will be inevitable) and it doesn't sole a thing. So whats the point? I know this is an "Everything Else" forum but still, we get into this arguement everytime someone says or even mentions something remotely related to politics. Anyways, lets quit the politics crap, argueing on these boards isn't going to change anyone's mind or anything, so whats the point? ~S1lent (Formal Enough? :-D ) Ahh S1lent tries to be the bigger man.
