This was pretty funny for a few posts then it got political. Anytime people gripe who don't have anyone at risk or have never put themselves at risk by being in the military during peacetime or wartime, I always want to say, "Pick up a rifle, go to the front, and make your comments there." I wonder what the men and women in uniform would do to you way out there in the sand?

You should direct that comment at George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Paul Wolfowitz and the other draft dodgers.
 
What's wrong with that? It's in the constitution that the government is supposed to stay out of people's buisness. I personally don't like what is going on now. Who's that hurting? My family has been here since 1639 and has built a nation with other families that was supposed to be a place, a utopia, like none other. When I see that being defaced it makes me sad. You have no appreciation what so ever for the freedoms/liberalism on which this nation was founded upon.

Thank you for those words. It's good to hear americans speak up like this. Personally, it makes me sad to see what some people wants to make out of what used to be the american dream. You guys should learn from the french and not let politicians run you over :crazyeye:

Yes, and then would could be one of the weakest nations in the world with yearly riots for idiotic reasons, and a centralized government run by liberals causing more problems than they help. Yep.. exactly what this country needs....:sad:

I'm not saying that politicians should do whatever they want without regard to what the American people want, but It should be blatantly obvious that A government soley by the people cannot work becasue people, lets face it, are stupid, self serving, ignorant creatures with only their own interests at heart.

And someone also said something about the Patriot act and all that. I have one question, If you have nothing to hide, and nothing to worry about, why care if the government listens to your conversations?
 
These iraquian insurgents are doing it the wrong way! You don't fight tanks and gunships with AKs! They should fight using Spears or Longbows! That works! Really! *I hope there's no terrorist reading that, or I just defeated America :lol *

I wouldnt say that France is weak, and at least France has more respect among people than the US has.

I do not intend to start, or be a part of any flame war, but how is France powerful? Other than their nuclear deterent which they don't have the balls to use. I admit that they have some kickass planes and tanks, but far inferior to anything the US or Britain have produced in the bast 20 years.

Who needs all that crap, when you can get along with people... not everyone is shooting first, and asking questions afterwards...

:lol: Since when do the French get along with anyone?

And if you think that any nation can protect itself without powerful/large quantities of weapons, you are delusional.
 
Well... better than others at least ;)

Its because Americans speak their mind. Although I do agree that alot of Americans would do the planet a favor if they would crawl back into the womb.
 
Ever heard of the European Union or NATO?

The EU is a economic alliance, not militaristic (Supposedly). And Nato Is broken. They have no major enemy to fight against and is now useless.

Nonetheless no independent country with a sane or insane government would launch an attack on any European country...

Sane.. true.. insane? don't count on it. Europe is under attack right now by insane leaders. But not attacked by tanks and bombers, but through government supported terrorists.

EU is planning a foreign minister post, a sort of chairman/president post and they do have some sort of military in mind.

Re France, you and some other people posting here need to calibrate your irony metres. As for the argument that "If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to worry about", that is an old and a bad one. There has never been a case of government agencies being given powers to spy on the citizens when they havent abused them. And anyway, why *should* they be allowed to snoop freeely on citizens? If there is just cause or reasonable suspicions, they can get a court order.
