| Altruism Assassin Location: Massachusetts Posts: 5,286 | We aren't even fighting a war anymore, it is an occupation, something that we've had bad luck in recently. (as have most great powers) We won the war to liberate Iraq from Saddam, but haven't exactly turned it into a successful democracy. By the way, you dodged the fact that earlier you asserted it was all the adminitrations fault. “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.” -Albert Einstein |

| Altruism Assassin Location: Massachusetts Posts: 5,286 | And I never asserted this, scrib did, and then retracted it to take the very reasonable stand that voting to give someone the ability to do something when you know very well that they'll do it is congruent to voting for the action itself, except it takes less balls and allows you to blame bush when it blows up. “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.” -Albert Einstein |

![]() The Cake is a lie... Location: St. Louis Posts: 2,364 | You're calling God's Merc stupid by informing him that you're going to type very slowly as if your message magically appears on the other end real time as you type it? What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality? |

If you want to play word games, go for it. What I said stands. Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots. | |

I don't expect you to dig through the archives here (I wouldn't bother either) but I was saying the same thing here when we went in and left Afghanistan to the still-alive-and-kicking Taliban. Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots. | |

It's like that "if I knew then what I know now" nonsense. While I agree Bush DID everything in his power to bullshit his way through that authorization it absolves the Democrats (or the whole Congress for that matter) of nothing. They should know EXACTLY what they are voting for, and if they don't, not to vote on it until they DO understand it all. That's what we pay them for. Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots. | |

| Skeptical Patriot Posts: 7,746 | Apparently you don't know that trolling and flame-baiting is looked upon VERY unfavorably by the management of this forum. Personally, I just find your unproductive jabs just childish and no small source of amusement, but I thought a bit of friendly advice was appropriate here. Take it as you wish. Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots. |

![]() The Cake is a lie... Location: St. Louis Posts: 2,364 | Scribbler a Republican? NOW, I've heard everything. You really don't have any clue what you're talking about. What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality? |

We have been down this road before. The little dots on your screen are all that matters. My age, gender, political affiliation, hair color, favorite TV show, brand of toothpaste, frequency of urination and opinions on other issues are not your concern. Why not argue about what I SAY and not what you think I think. Just those little dots, that form the words that I say as regards THIS issue, matter. Nothing else. Save the mind reading for the carnival. Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots. | |

| Volcanic Erupter Location: Mexico City Posts: 4,772 | The issue here ought to be these doctors in Britain, Al Qaeda, Islamic fundamentalist-inspired international terrorism, but someone mentioned Iraq. You proudly noted your early opposition to Afghanistan before that and I speculated you'd likely have opposed those other interventions too. If you don't want to go down the sequence of good arguments against united statian interventionism, why bring up your past record of opposititon thereto? I will raise the litany to signal your arguments are trite and have been thrashed before. If the only relevant interventions are Afghanistan and Iraq, are you saying its some anti-Muslim thing?
