FREEPERS TAKE NOTE:
One thread discussing marijuana legalization generates > 1000 comments.
Dozens of threads discussing police abuse of power generate > 600 comments.
We have some serious problems facing this nation. Government is a problem. The economy is a problem. The people living here are a a problem. External enemies (Muslim Extremists) are a problem. Drugs are a problem. Sexual immorality is a problem. Don’t have room to list all of the problems. What’s the solution? Well, someone posted the above except that the threads about police abuse have WAY OVER 150 comments each. In fact, one has over 600 comments and I’m sure others have exceeded that.
Based on the above information, I believe I can solve the present crisis with Iraq and North Korea. To motivate Americans to fight ‘til the death to defeat Iraq and North Korea (and probably China as well) we have to set up the following:
Let’s set up a scenario where the Muslim Extremists are allowed to, helped to (or deceitfully portrayed as the ones who are shown to) kill a bunch of dogs in a kennel somewhere. Publicize this widely and then show video of Koreans killing, preparing and eating dogs (which they do culturally anyway). Military enrollment would skyrocket, the draft could be reinstated and military commanders could shout, "Remember the dogs!" as young men and women launched themselves in to battle ready to die for the cause.
From what I’ve read on the threads discussing the slain dog by officer Hall of Cookeville, TN, we have just the motivation we need to fight a major world war right there. In fact, we might be able to insinuate that Officer Hall is actually a radical Muslim militant masquerading as a police officer. High-level government officials could probably get him to confess to that. Then, the war would essentially be won. We might even offer terms of peace to the enemy combatants BEFORE things get started because if we cut this bunch loose on them after the "dog killing" they won’t have a prayer. Men, women and children will die.
War problem solved.
You're behind the power curve Mene...
So-called 'Officer' Hale doesn't have to be falsely labeled a TERRORIST.
He IS a TERRORIST.
By definition.
Good point. By the way...many, many "Halls" live in Putnam County. Some of them are VERY LARGE landowners and probably VERY wealthy. I'm sure officer Hall is related to some of them and will have their support. All of this ranting and raving against him is pointless with local support. Perhaps we could see about solving some OTHER problems?

Oops. Made a mistake...this should have been posted to "palmer" not to myself. Okay, ready, shoot me.
After Waco, I'd ask those that thought the government justified in that infanticide the following:
Clinton and Gore both have children the same ages as many inside that home. Would the FBI have moved and used the same tactics if Chelsea was inside?
And so I ask you, would you want the same treatment for you and yours?
"Orwell was an optimist"
Yes, we could also make doctored videos of:
1. Ted Kennedy driving a car into a lake and failing to swim back and get a dog out of the car.
2. Bill Clinton refusing to pay alimony to a female dog impregnated by his dog.
3. Fastow of Enron saying "Even a dog could make money this way."
4. Osama Bin Laden and friends laughing and having a party watching video of the WTC collapse while they cook a dog over the barbecue pit.
5. A public school principal whose school has incompetent teachers and failing grades running out and kicking a dog that appears on campus because it might be a danger to the children.
6. O.J. Simpson beating a dog to death on the golf course.
7. And finally, Satan saying he's glad that "All dogs come to hell."
Korean folk may munch on dawgs,
In place of chickens, cows ' hawgs
But long as they stay way from cats
'N make main courses outa rats
The only folks that will go bats
Are the morons wearing P.E.T.A. hats !!
(In the voice of Floyd the Barber, from 'The Andy Griffith Show'...)
"Oooooh.... 'Orwell was an optimist' I LIKE that!"
But the issue of police militarization triggered by the WoD and soon by the WoT is serious and only going to get worse. How long until we have road blocks in the name of the War on Terror?
Legalization won't solve the drug problem but neither will the War on Drugs. In fact the only way government seems to tackle problems is either throwing money at it or by shooting at it. Sometimes both as in Afghanistan. But those tactics don't work in the long run.
The underlying problems are obvious (immorality, nonaccountable government, etc) but the solutions are very difficult and controversial, and we should aim these discussions at moving towards solutions.
Mene, it occurs to me You're barking up The wrong dang tree ! Korean folk may munch on dawgs, In place of chickens, cows ' hawgs But long as they stay way from cats 'N make main courses outa rats The only folks that will go bats Are the morons wearing P.E.T.A. hats !!
ROFL!!!
