I know what it's like - I get them from time to time, though apparently not as bad as yours. Mine seem to last about six to ten hours. It still feels like hell on earth...

Reply to The Death Of The American Dream in Politics JoeUser Forums

Yes, there are worse atrocities committed: Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Idi Amin etc. So what? It doesn't make it right. Comparing it to worse cases doesn't get you any moral points. What anyone else does is irrelevant. Trying to understand why they did it is not relevant. This is still wrong. Anyone who is defending this abominable practise better make his

Reply to Democrats Are More Dangerous Than Any Prison Scandal in Republican JoeUser Forums

I simply don't know where to begin...so I won't bother. But to get back on track: I'm curious as to your position, Super Baby. Are you defending the use of torture? Or are these troops just "kids who didn't really know better". I mean, the prisoners are just Iraqis. It's not like the're american or anything, so I guess that makes it allright...?

Reply to Vietnam and Iraq - a comparison in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I'm not commenting on your articles or your personal view, I'm referring to facts made by the US administration at the time. It's pretty clear to me that it's the right-wing that redefines why you went into Iraq. I'm arguing that the official selling-point was WMD, and now it's...fuzzy. You or I could have differing personal reasons as to why someone should or should not have gone in, but that's irrelevant. And what were you representative of

Uh, do you even know why we're in Iraq? Why we invaded? To remove Saddam Hussein Interesting, Brad. I notice you're often saying that WMD was never the reason to invade Iraq. Well, that may be your opinion, but the bush administration saw it differently. They actually considered it to be the main point

They voted that way because they didn't think the war was right. How the US thought wasn't/isn't relevant. Not everything revolves around the US you know. And no, I do not think Germany is entitled to ANY support from the US. It's the reason they pulled out that bothers me. They did that solely because of the German vote. From my previous link: 'We are doing this for one reason only: to harm the German economy'. The whole thi

See #79 Super Baby. Once again: A vote in the UN is just that - a vote. Political pressure, lobbying is of course happening before any vote. And I see nothing wrong with that. It's all part of politics. France and Germany didn't "withhold" something the US needed. They voted. The US should respect the outcome of that vote, instead of cranking up the propaganda machine and threaten them with economic sanctions. The US is in no way entitled to a
