Damn shame we don't have any Neutron bombs. We could go on a roach exterminating campaign.

So what point are you trying to make? That you are against the draft? Do you even know what point you are trying to make?

Harrigan is a class act...knows his work well.

Yeah, get one or two more like him, if needed. If FOX must have Whorealdo, at least put him in a studio show in a fixed time slot where we can ignore him.

I was polite to the little turd the first time. That's all he gets. After reading his subsequent posts, I'm just going to cut & paste the response from Gumption every time he opens his mouth. Gumption's response has that certain air of directness my attempts at civility lacked.

I was gonna address your post one lump of dog shit at a time, but by the start of the 2nd paragraph the pile got too big to take you even the least bit seriously. You finished up with pure rantings of a certified lunatic. I hope you come under the care of a licensed professionals before you finally break and kill us all.

Gumption's responses to you, "american spirit," are the best I've seen so far, so I'm going to repost them:

My stance? I'm of the opinion that you are a sandwich short of a picnic. Want a second opinion? ... ok, your paranoid delusion disorder (or Psychosis) could have been brought on due to a physical/medical episode, but could still be treatable by Antipsychotic Medication, or possibly through psychotherapies such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Either way, I hope you get the help of which you are so badly in need. One more thing ... don't forget to check in your closet and under your bed before you go to sleep tonight.

Or the new & improved AC-130's with laser tag capability. Looks like a good testing ground.

And those new bombs....I want nothing bigger than a chipmunk left of al Qaeda and the Taliban.

I like it when someone as ignorant as you answers one of my posts. [...] It's a known fact that binLaden was a US gov't. creation to help fight the Russians

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! Where did you get that factoid, the Weekly World News? Al-Jezzera? Le Monde?

Yeah, the CIA guys in Afghanistan knew about Osama, they knew who he was and what he was doing (mostly flying and packing in recruits, food, arms and construction equipment for the Afghan fighters) but he he never worked with us. Our boys were primarily the Party of God, who were, admittedly, extreme fundies, but they eventually got shuffled out of the game and never managed to gain or hold any power in Afghanistan after the Soviets were expelled.

I'm asking myself why this is news.

Can anyboby give me an example of a casualty free WAR? By definition WAR means destruction of human and property. Even the mighty USA has to contemplate that situation, despite all the advantages on hand from the super technology we are employing for our troops in any branch of the military.
OTOH our soldiers know full well(as i did when joined the service for 5 years)that there is a viable posibility of beein killed in the line of duty. That is a gamble wich everyone of us took, when signing up the contracts.

Further more, everything comes and has a price to be paid, sometimes with the absolute, but so be it if that is what it takes to preserve our way of life, freedom and the liberty to express oneself without fear of reprisal.This is the American Way and will never change!

RE:US Warplanes Drop Pressure Bombs in Afghan Battle


Courtisy of Queen and David Bowie

Mm ba ba de
Um bum ba de
Um bu bu bum da de
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure that brings a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da - that's okay
It's the terror of knowing
What the world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming 'Let me out'
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people people on streets
Day day de mm hm
Da da da ba ba
Okay
Chippin' around - kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
Ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba
Um bo bo
Be lap
People on streets - ee da de da de
People on streets - ee da de da de da de da
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming 'Let me out'
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher higher high
Pressure on people people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why - why - why?
Love love love love love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love give love give love give love
give love give love give love give love give love
'Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the (People on streets) edge of the night
And loves (People on streets) dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure



Die evil Bast****

That's my little adddition

I just had to throw this in as a "PRESSURE" reference as it is one of my favorite songs of all time

Dittos. I shall join you in your concern & also take a seat on the list of those who will be very angry with your questions. My attention was rivetted to the Homeland Security Act-whipped out like a daily newspaper, authored by the likes of former Sen Gary Hart & former civil rights gadfly, Andrew Young-what a source for laws that trump the Constitution.

The war is real but provides the crisis the gov needs for further CONTROL & TAXATION-the only real ends of modern government. The war compels the gov to defend us, the bad guys must be pursued & eradicated, we probably did not have some nefarious agents who provoked the 9-11, but my oh my, what uses the government makes of the threat. If a conservative, intellectually independent & educated class of voters actually controlled our government, I would have no fear ( of a draft or any other action ). However, the scum of the earth are brought in the country, given perfunctory citizendhip & encouraged to cast their ignorant & uninformed votes for whomever is in office! What a deal-free citizenship & full franchise! Back in the Dark Ages, 1955, we charged a poll tax of $2 in Texas-paid for the election & any functional citizen could afford the cost. That simple system stoped fools from voting-it took a serious person to take the time to go physically pay the small tax & register. Now we pay idiots to vote-with stolen tax money-from the producers. So many of our leaders act for purely personal gain.

My what foul words & dark intent. Do you also do bar-room fights? Can you imagine anyone having a few moments pause about the motives behind some events? Can your sort even imagine anything intelectual? This war is very real, widespread & likely to continue well into the future-but is all thought to be set aside, in deference to the rudest folks around?

Grin! That is a good comment about "perverts" (Headline: Taliban beat off attacking troops.) More seriously, I am convinced that the numbers of Taliban and Al-Quadi must be greatly exagerrated. If you look carefully at that story, the estimate of "5,000 or more" must come from the retreating Northern Alliance troops. Not a reliable source. They probably got driven away by few 100 enemy troops, and of course once they have retreated they will say - there were thousands upon thousands ...

I was nice once and he got that once. If someone wants to give aid and comfort to our enemies, he gets what he deserves.

Your rudeness reflects on your short-commings & degrads the forum.
