I lived through the Vietnam era. I refuse to tell DD's Marine or any person who has sacrificed (ultimatly as they say) that this was a lost cause. Okay so we are not winning like the media said we were in Bosnia (oh wait we are still there) but lets finish it. Personally, I say let some of the nations...(Iran or Syria) learn the horror of Hirshima or Nagasaki. last edited: 2/22/06 2:55:10 PM” 2:47:15 PM 2/22/06 “Its not the current group of bad guys who are killing US personel who will be swayed by any action. Its the next generation. IF the youths and kids growing up in Iraq can be taught and shown a different example then there is hope. We should rebuild the shrine, we should rebuild the entire nation from bottom up, every nail and every shingle. Give them a reason to hope...” 3:09:03 PM 2/22/06 “I would rebuild it.” 3:11:10 PM 2/22/06 “They hate us and they always will... Time to wake up folks.” Nigal 1:29:38 PM 2/22/06 Then we should leave?” 3:17:59 PM 2/22/06 “Maybe all the republicans that support the war, and the current president can open thier hearts and wallets and DONATE the money to rebuild the massive mistake of Bush destroying Iraq. Enough people in this country are suffering financially due to his and republican voter mistakes, so I propose they pick up the cost, through "charitable" donations. Heck, maybe Birch could start a fund thru his adventure race team. Donors could give 5 cents per mile raced, and the proceeds could go to fix Iraq! This would work well, since Birch and the mighty "I'm better than you because I donate to good causes" crowd can put thier money where thier mouth is, for a cause they helped create by supporting the moron who did the blunder. Hypocrisy does run deep among that bunch though, so I doubt my liberal idea will be embraced.” 3:18:00 PM 2/22/06 “ ”3:20:38 PM 2/22/06 “I would like to see the Bamiyan Buddhas restored too.” 3:22:25 PM 2/22/06 “Nice reminder BM! I'll donate to rebuilding that shrine!” 3:22:31 PM 2/22/06 “Typical toe tag liberal answer to any problem Buddha. Simply throw money at it. "Education system suck? Throw more money at it. Test scores still suck? Throw more money at it. Still not working? Here, have some more money and see if it helps. No good huh? Damn, well here, have some more money."” 3:23:35 PM 2/22/06 “"for a cause they helped create by supporting the moron who did the blunder." This applies to you my friend. If you wanna donate a nickel for each mile I run feel free. I know servicemen over sees who will make sure its gets to those in need. I will match ya nickel for nickel.” 3:23:58 PM 2/22/06 “"Then we should leave?” Yeah, I think it's about time.” 3:25:45 PM 2/22/06 “Why is Buddha Bear always trying to put a roof on a building and call it charity? Roofing fetish or something?” 3:26:54 PM 2/22/06 “Hey I have an idea, take the taxes I pay for the Layabout HUMAN DEBRIS in this country and send it to the people who are trying to become free over there....Yeah thats it. BB...I see the multiple generational "YOU DONE OWES US FREE MONEY" debris everyday. They walk in the door with a dozen rug rats in tow. They are screaming about their RIGHTS....I gotta better one, Scream about your RESPONSIBILITY. BB. one of my friends is finishing his third tour over there. He tells a story of a family, the father is in a mass grave, the daughter was raped by Saddams men, the son is missing an arm. But guess what? They are starting to run a business on the street corners. They have more schools, more electricity, more water, more LIFE than under SADDAM. They want to be free. THe media will not tell you that the opposition is ex Saddam Cronies (guess where they will be swinging if the fighting stops) and Jordanian, Iranian, Lebanese, Saudis....outsiders. You are the same people who said Japan couldn't be made free....guess what. They are. Each time you have told us we would lose tens of thousands in each battle. (Gulf War I, Afghanistan, and Iraq) but we are just now crossing 2000? Bite me.. you are wrong have been wrong and will always be WRONG (LOL)” 3:32:44 PM 2/22/06 “"They have more schools, more electricity, more water, more LIFE than under SADDAM. " XL%&%*&^(*()*&)& And ya wonder why people call you a moron?! That is TOTALLY UNSUBSTANTIATED, you dolt! :) And to the other genuises, it was your "crewman", Birch who suggested that we use tx dollars to rebuild Iraq, not me.” 3:36:53 PM 2/22/06 “WHew....thanks I feel better now....nothing major...just had another 'I am calling my Congressman on you" Threat. I love it,,,the guy she is calling....just got sent up the river for 10 years for corruption....Should be a fun call.” 3:37:11 PM 2/22/06 “"Throwing money" at education is far better than something as assinine as "No Child Left Behind" BTW - did that cost money?” 3:42:19 PM 2/22/06 “sorry bearmag, if ya didn't get my joke I'm not going to spell it out for ya.” 3:43:42 PM 2/22/06 “Yes, NCLB did cost money, but the local communities are the ones paying for it.” 3:44:06 PM 2/22/06 “Why would somebody pay for somebody's education in a community they have no vote in? That would be NUTS.” 3:47:17 PM 2/22/06 “Rebuilding the shrine is a GREAT idea. We can plant all kinds of listening devices in there.” 4:25:29 PM 2/22/06 “Sorry Nigal. Why you always pointing out my occassional(?) thickness?” 5:02:04 PM 2/22/06 “Yeah, just like when you said I always call you moron? Move along.” 5:12:53 PM 2/22/06 “Don't worry BM (and I know you're not), Nigal is in no position to even state a phrase like "move along" to you. He's just a fat redneck who aspires (it's a darn miracle that he can even comprehend the term, aspire) to hold a conversation with someone who utilizes logic, reason, and scientific methods to formulate opinions. It's why he attempts to carry a gun (you know, when all else fails ((and probability states that it will)), he can use it to get the last word). In other words, Nigal is smart enough to know that the person he voted for is a complete moron, and now, in the face of insurmountable evidence, has to admit it, but too stupid to allow himself (due to masssive insecurities about lack of credentialed intelligence, size, weight, banishment from his "crew") ,to fully allow himself to explain the reasons why he may agree with you, due to his personal flaws (see all of above). To moake my point, there is no reason to "move along" here. Your statement is both valid and wanted by people who think "keeping up with the Joneses" is merely the modern day equivelant of the Brokeback Nigal and Birch Saga - entertaining, and significant among a minority, but viewed as pure netertainment among the masses. Heck, but really, I didn't need to tell you all of this, you already knew it.” 7:05:57 PM 2/22/06 “"To moake my point" Moake? Hey genius, when one is making an attempt to insult someone else’s intelligence it’s important to actually spell words right. Haha! Peterhead…” 7:29:15 PM 2/22/06 “can't you just feel the love” 7:35:48 PM 2/22/06 “Captain Pooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooopy Pants! Having both mental and physical insecurties has to suck, but is really unecessary. TT people will accept you. last edited: 2/22/06 7:46:48 PM” 7:42:17 PM 2/22/06 “Hmmmmmm, maybe I need to expect the juvenile pizza's at my door, and constant phone calls fro religious charities, like the last time I called the Bobsey Twins out. Hey, no mushrooms next time, Mr. delintqant!” 7:55:50 PM 2/22/06 “Darn Bear...I guess you are right. http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/r/rayreynolds.htm or try http://chrenkoff.blogspot.com/2004/07/good-news-from-iraq-part-5.html last edited: 2/23/06 7:00:19 AM” 6:55:23 AM 2/23/06 ““Captain Pooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooopy Pants! Having both mental and physical insecurties has to suck, but is really unecessary. TT people will accept you." This from the guy who starts a thread talking about how good it felt to sucker punch some drunk guy for making fun of his hat. How many TTers have you physically threatened? Haha! You are in rare hypocritical form Jay. Good luck dealing with your small dick. BTW, Genius, “insecurties” is spelled “insecurities” and "unecessary" is spelled “unnecessary”. Where’d you go to school? Toledo or somewhere?” 8:01:13 AM 2/23/06 “And Nigal takes a quick look....a chop to the solar plexus...and the Bear stumbles back.” 8:05:44 AM 2/23/06 “Naw! Me and the bear take shots at each other all the time. Neither of us gets phased by it because we both give as much as take. Of course he makes it so easy when he attempts to make him self look so smart and then spells like a 8th grader. Normally when he starts calling fat or captain poopypants he’s running out of good flames so we should be done within a day or so and I’ll go back to ignoring him. He bores me quickly.” 8:11:42 AM 2/23/06 “True....I have found most of the left out there find a last resort in emotional or degrading comments. Or as the bumpersticker on my jeep says "Life is a comedy to those who think and a tragedy to those who feel."” 8:15:03 AM 2/23/06 ““Hmmmmmm, maybe I need to expect the juvenile pizza's at my door, and constant phone calls fro religious charities, like the last time I called the Bobsey Twins out.” Don’t look at me dude. I don’t even know your phone number or address. Heck, you’re the one who’s called me wanting to apologize for being an ass bag to me. Remember? BTW Genius, “Bobsey Twins” is spelled “Bopsy Twins”. Have you ever thought about English as a second language? last edited: 2/23/06 8:18:35 AM” 8:17:07 AM 2/23/06 “True....I have found most of the left out there find a last resort in emotional or degrading comments. Let's see... I've been called a murderer and a baby killer for believeing that a woman has the right to choose. I've had my educational abilities attacked more times than I can count. I've been accused of hating this country and not being a "patriot" because I did not jump on the Bush bandwagon prior to the invasion of Iraq. I've been accused of being a commie because I had reservations about the patriot act. Also, a gay sympathizer because I support the rights of gay people to marry. And guess where ALL of this happened!!! Right here! And right from some of the 'kind' folks on here!!! Have a glass of water. It will make eating your words go down a little easier...” 8:58:31 AM 2/23/06 “Yeah, but no one can front on you DJ skilz... Having said that I do find that (and this is NOT aimed at anyone person and not too the whole) people who follow a more progressive philosophy do tend to appear more angry, bitter and unhappy. This is just my personal observations and I very well could be wrong.” 9:04:17 AM 2/23/06 “people who follow a more progressive philosophy do tend to appear more angry, bitter and unhappy Holy phuck, Batman! Ever read a post from bacpac?” 9:07:42 AM 2/23/06 “It is a generality, Nigal. And, believe me, I have several in my mind that I prefer not to verbalize or print, as they are inherently unfair. So, be that as it may, thanks for the compliment on the broadcast thing! That means more to me than any of this other BS printed here!!! And, I hate to give a troll kudos. But, Dr. Laura didn't exactly miss the nail on that one!” 9:11:02 AM 2/23/06 “I've never had a juvenile pizza. Does it come with jail time, bad tattoos and a side of mother tears?” 9:18:42 AM 2/23/06 “As I said, it's just my observations with real live people I know. Not internet people. Yeah, I do know real people outside of TT. LOL!” 9:19:37 AM 2/23/06 “Treebeard....um wow...life is tough.” 9:20:12 AM 2/23/06 “Since we can't seem to get a sarcastic font here is there a Universal sarcastic emoticon I can use? Oh and a "wow". last edited: 2/23/06 10:30:09 AM” 10:29:37 AM 2/23/06 “Treebeard....um wow...life is tough.” XL400236 10:20:12 AM WTF???? Guess when you're stuck with that bulge in your throat, you print whatever gobbledy-gook pops into mind! I just hope the water suggestion helped...” 10:38:21 AM 2/23/06 “I personally feel gobbledy-gook is a way under used word. It sounds funny. It is funny. And I love it. It's right up there with humbuggery.” 11:28:50 AM 2/23/06 “And guacamole! Great word!” 11:36:07 AM 2/23/06 “Boohoggery is my current favorite.” 11:39:22 AM 2/23/06 “I personally feel gobbledy-gook is a way under used word. General Melchett, is that you?” 11:53:39 AM 2/23/06 “I like kerfuffle....something about it sounds nice. Tree, want to walk a day in my life...I get fun accusations day in and day out just doing my job. I remember the great line from "Roadhouse" The guy says," What if someone calls my mother a wh0re." The reply,"Is she?" Heck if thats the best they have....tell them to get a better writer.” 12:54:42 PM 2/23/06 “So XL, and others, what would it take for you to consider the Iraqi invasion a failure? A full-on civil war? A last-chopper out scenario? An attack on US originating from Iraq? A certain level of casualties? I just wonder how we're always being told that great progress is being made in Iraq, despite all the violence, if there's any evidence that could shake this view?” 1:04:29 PM 2/23/06 “I don't even know who you are, XL. Besides, what's that have to do with generalizations directed at people. If there is relevance, please clue me in...” 1:04:30 PM 2/23/06
