Depends on one's point of view I imagine. I will speak for Iraq for now. What is it that can be considered just? Neither the Iraq government nor the Iraq people did anything to the US and were never a threat to our security. They were not involved in 911 although … Saddam’s name was brought up on 911 by Bush himself as in how we can connect it with him. They had no WMD’s, there was no yellow cake, there was no Al-Qaida connection and little of those things that led to w

Lula, I too speak in generalities much more often than I intend to so I know how that goes. Often when I say "you" I do not mean 'you' I mean the whole RCCC thing ... sometimes I do though so I will try to be more careful. It is interesting the way you pick and choose what to argue against. Take this for instance: “And the battle lines are drawn....you want God and religions, specifically Christianity, out of government schools but are qu

Certainly not Daiwa nothing at all … I just thought it was a clever and covert way to introduce my real hero Hitler. I knew you were the only one astute enough to discover the real hidden truth ... I am exposed ... bah humbug! Hahaha [e digicons]:rofl:[/e]

Lula, it is disheartening at best to consider we came from the slime of the Earth … and you prefer this to apes? Apes are fine majestic creatures and I have no problem having them for ancestors … the slime of the Earth huh. “Coming to faith in God really is not about proof.” Well then what is it about? How about the truth for starters? Do you understand what the word “truth’ means; in all respects but o

Smoothseas, Listen to your own words ... "Politicians lie all the time" ... "Politicians are often liars, crooks, and hypocrites" ... this would be a better place to start I think. Do good people doing the morally right things have any reason to lie ... even to cover their asses? Do good people fabricate and mislead their nation into unjust wars? Do good people obfuscate the searches for more compl

Lula, you are foolish at times. Since when does my disbelief in any god have to do with hating anything let alone whoever you choose to submit your whole life to? The only people I know who hate everyone else and everything they stand for and … that would be you RCC guys. You like to choose everyone’s words for them but they are not realistic in many cases. How in the world could I hate something I do not believe in … do you know how silly this

Smoothseas, By the way, the comment you quoted was mine, not Lula’s. I thought we were discussing the mechanics of toppling buildings here so have a heart before you move onto something different as I don’t mind talking about some of the people involved. I am sure there are quite a few people who rightfully (and wrongly) despise the USG here and abroad … so what. How many modern countries could have engineered the 911 attacks nearly as well as these radical Muslims seemed t

Reply to Fahrenheit 9/11 in Politics JoeUser Forums

Smootseas, I could show much in the way of motivation for the USG but most of it would be labeled as conspiracy shit. However, the first step is coming to an understanding with you yourself that there are those people throughout history who have destroyed much of their own populations as well as the promotion of genocide towards others. Then you have to convince yourself that there is nothing the USG will not do to maintain its power to shape the future of the world. If there is something tha

BFD, I understand and agree to an extent. I suppose I should have found a better description, sorry. I understand that field work requires a ‘blind eye’ at times and I have no problems with that … right or wrong … it is what it is. I was referring more to arrangements we have with other nations that provide us ‘sanctuary’ to do post fieldwork in. It is the moral infringement that bothers me. Wikipedia has this blurb about &ls

Hahaha ... I missed your posts date, sorry, hehehe. I do not know of a viable answer at this point ... now that the politicians have had their way with things. If the academics were left to fend for themselves, this matter could have been resolved in short order ... peer review is the best way until the reviewers are bought and paid for. Now, I just do not know???

Lula, I have told you many times that you guys have purposefully made enemies of the whole world ... and now you see your chickens coming home to roost. Looks like RCC Inc. is in trouble to me, hahaha. Everyone chooses evil over good ... whenever they oppose RCC dogma ... we are used to that by now you know. Speaking in parables is akin to speaking with forked tongues ... manipulate-able truths, got to love it. You get “The New World Order” out of that mystical book of yours huh &

Reply to Will only Catholics get to Heaven? in Religion JoeUser Forums

Lula, if you could prove your God exists then we wouldn’t even be having this discussion? This view is not exclusively mine as you well know. Proof has little to do with reason, casualty, a voice of conscience or the complexities of Nature I am afraid. I do not have a stubborn bone in my body I just require actual proof to sway my stubborn mind, hahaha. Until we get past this sore point, I am afraid all your mystical quotes are … well meaningless. If you cannot prove the book is

Daiwa, you know I am sure I said on two occasions that the buildings just fell down ... I think??? If there is nothing in between believing in magic and the information presented by the government, I would be inclined to say you missed a few things. I don't know how much research you put in on this but from your answers I would guess not much. On 911 as I watched the situation unfold, I observed several things that didn't seem right at the time but I was as absorbed as everyone e

Smoothseas, since the USA reached peak oil in the seventies, we have done little besides go deeper and deeper in debt to pay for more and more oil to help keep our throwaway society eating high off the hog. These statistics we are seeing are not new as we are well aware of how much we have been polluting our environment for the past forty years. So yes, I would be comfortable with saying it was abusive use. Honestly, I don’t think the politicians started promoting AGW (or not) until the

Reply to Fahrenheit 9/11 in Politics JoeUser Forums

Smoothseas, anyone who mouths anything against the USG is immediately labeled a nut or a conspiracy theorist. Ms. Wood called my attention to several things I hadn’t given a lot of thought over lately … I like that. This same kind of thinking got me into the thick of it in the very beginning when I tried to say Moore actually had some good things to say … most thought not. However if the shoe fits … she is a theorist … so what. The truth of the matter is the

No, revenge is not enough for me (not what I was thinking though) … that is what a good punch (or three) in the nose is for. I am talking about the abduction of my husband or children say ... and time was very relevant ... and circumstances were just so; which I know is about as likely as winning the lottery but... Personally I don’t think much for the excuses used to justify warped political logic. The only reason documentation needs to be destroyed is as stated; the lesser of t

Reply to What are your impressions on torture? in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

Well, I for one can and would use torture under the right (extreme) personal conditions ... but I cannot in good conscience support institutional torture for any reason. I suppose the best guideline I can think of here is an old quote of mine “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”.

Unless you are outfitting an army, the ammo is the real problem, hahaha. Maybe there are some things we can all agree on and start this over. Let me know if I am wrong here: We should be able to agree that the data shows we have experienced a small global rise in temperature (last 100 years). Mankind is aggravating the GW situation through the abusive use of fossil fuels and whatever else (the ‘A’ parts). We have an adequate understanding of what we humans are doing to the planeta

Lula, I remember what you said before (I wonder how, hehehe) but you do like to repeat yourself a lot for sure. What you didn’t mention was who do you know that has a “pure soul” whatever that is? Sounds to me that the fabled Heaven is destined to be a very lonely place... Aha, there is the fabled purgatory where you guys are to spend your fair share of eternity in … to punish people for behaving like people … those who are not even ‘people’ anymore

Semantics with people lives huh, go figure. Just change the classification and do what feels good. There is no doubt in my mind that I would peel the finger nails off of someone holding my child and time was essential … and that would just be the start. So what does that make me? For some reason, I can only envision this on a personal level though. To torture people over things that may happen down the road (maybe) is different (I think) and ‘lives saved’ (jobs saved) is me

Smoothseas, is it Star Wars time yet, hahaha. As you can see, this post has been going on for some time now but I'm afraid I lack the appetite to expand on the details of the theories in question from the perspective that nothing has as yet been discussed here. Not sure why everything has to be correct and irrefutable though … it is just some theory after all. No matter what one thinks, there are things that happened on 911 that just don’t fit into the scenario of a plane cra

Today we are expected to make trillion dollar decisions (by vote) and all we have to rely on are the jerks (that got us where we are in the first place) words that this time they really know what they are doing, huh, something like that? Well it was the 1/2 trillion and the 1/4 trillion and the 100 million dollar deals that were just as meaningless that got us here and there appears to be no end in sight ... well … except for the obvious of course.
