I think anti-war people should take thier next vacation in Iraq, spread thier happy happy joy joy feelings there and see how much love they can grow from the experiance. That might buy some respect in my book. Other than that, we are there for the oil right? Funny, my fuel bills have not decreased.
sorry double post
I just wish people would take the shopping carts to the nearest cart-corral. It doesn't matter what shopping center. I'm tired of carts roaming wild and bumping into my vehicle. It might also free up some prime parking. It amazes me when I see a cart in the middle of a parking spot, 20 feet from the corral. Come on people, think of it as a little exercise....please.
The term African-American, or "anything"-American for that matter has alway anoyed me. My feeling is that if you were not born there (or never even visited the place) consider yourself an American, or better yet a North American. I understand our neigbors to the south resent us using the term "Americans" exclusively to mean people of the USA. From what I see on the Discovery Channel all humans came from Africa, so we can all claim that title if we are
I've given the idea more thought...and I've changed my opinion from my previous post. The tokens are a good idea. I must agree with 4D about the "tokens only" option; I think it would keep things real. After all what if someone runs up a 20 year membership and Microsoft buys out Stardock next year! One lingering question though. Will older games eventual
Don't know if I like this token system yet. Do spend them now on a game that's ok and risk the chance something more to my liking might come out later? TGN: it was good while it lasted.
I suppose Saddam was just passing gas when he used it on the Kurds and during the Iran/Iraq War? Then all of a sudden just forgot how to make it. Since I was there during the opening phases of the war, I can assure everybody we constantly carried gas masks (and personal Atropine/Pam2 chloride injectors). Everyone got there Anthrax shots too. Sounds like a lot to go through if deep down we didn’t think we would run into these agents (must be part of the
They would all be taking turns playing in the park if it were up to me. Yes, they are over paid. Do I blame them? No. Wish I had a job playing a game for a living. If people want to spend their hard earned money so an athlete can drive his Lamborghini from his/her mansion to the summer home, so be it. Problem here is we are all paying for it. Manufacturers pay big bucks for endorsements and pass it on to the consumers, fans or not. It's just a shame t
Why hasnt anything been done about Chinas occupation of Tibet or its military capacity as a dictatorship nation? Because there is no oil in Tibet.
Not really worried about the Russians, their military is still in a shambles. They have their own problems with Chechnya and the struggle to get their economy right. While it might seem like a good time for China to make a move on Taiwan, it's not really. First our troops might be stretched thin but the Navy and Air force are not. To invade Taiwan, China would have to control the Straits of Formosa, both on the sea and in the air. Secondly, China has c
It's truly amazing, the exact same thing is happening right now. On NBC evening news the first thing they say is the US troops death count from the day major fighting stopped. Then they go into how bad things are for the troops and the insurgents are gaining ground, elections should be postponed, etc. It's all bad news and it is making me sick. Being a vet I know those troops want the people (of the world) to know what positive impact they are having o
In my opinion a lower dollar is good (at this point in time), unless you’re buying a BMW or other import. It makes products produced here more affordable abroad, creating hire demand and keeping Americans working. I don't believe we have to worry about the dollar becoming worthless, if it did the world would be thrown into a major depression, nobody wants that. If Wall Street sneezes, the world feels it. The only major drawback I see is for things w
LL, no harm, no foul. This can be a difficult format to convey thoughts, what sounds proper in the writers mind, sounds completely different to the reader. I'm a very easy-going guy in the real world. My original post was intended (partially) as a parody, with a sprinkle of life experience. Thanks for understanding; I really don't want to upset anyone. Have a great holiday.
Half my family is French currently living in France and Luxembourg. DOn't act like you have the inside scoop with me.ll Leaping Lizards, I'm not suggesting all French hate Americans (sorry if my post came off that way). I have, however, been to France many times, in both a military and civilian capacity
Heck, I hope they sell a boat load to the French (if it is putting dollars into the US economy), I know they eat that stuff up over there. As for here, probably 95% of Americans don't even know the name of the French president. Why? Ignorance mostly, but also because who cares! People should know who is important in the world. I suggest we make tons of Bush Bashing merchandise to sell in Europe, and then we can use the proceeds to finance the war in I
As far as any president would have reacted, well, quite possibly, but I'm just looking at the examples set. You know as well as I do that Republicans are more likely to deploy troops (Reagan), and Democrats are more likely to negotiate (Carter). I have to disagree with you on who is more likely to deplo

Yes we get wads of cash from you and I am thankful, but surely you don't thinki US companies are doing that for charity nitro? No Foreigner, I don't think it's strictly for charity (although charity is a factor), I think US companies want to sell you a Coke-a-Cola (and other things) and a smile. The fact is the US is one of the few countries that will invest in another nation so they can afford to buy that Coke-a-Cola or improve their s
