I saw this one on another thread, and I thought it was a good perspective - “I’m bullet proof until the Lord Jesus calls me home” (or something similar).[/quote]

I have an idea…
if you even live in the U.S. and you HATE it as much as you profess to, then fucking leave.
Bush is as much to blame for 9/11 as Bin Laden? He was in office for 8 fucking months! Who was in for the previous 8 years, you screaming fucking liberal?
[/quote]
For one, I hate any instution based on greed,fascism, and the genocide of an entire culture of people for bullshit manifest destiny, and the spread of christianity (which is also bullshit). By your statement of who was in office before Bush, you’re expecting me to reply by defending Clinton. I don’t like Clinton either, he’s just as big of a crook as the rest of them. In some ways I respect Republicans more than democrats, because they fuck the public to their face instead of behind they’re back. Liberal, yes I proudly am. As far as me leaving, I’m not going anywhere, I am set up good for now, but I do hope to go overseas as soon as I get my masters degree(Petroleum Engineering) and then I’ll make some fat ass cash. Maybe instead of telling me to leave you should focus on not living to the standard that the government has set for you and try thinking for yourself for a change instead of being blindly obedient.
Well obviously I pissed a lot of people off. Which is good because it makes people think for a change. Zap Branigan hasn’t pointed out any of my so called ignorances, or facts that were wrong so I think I can comfortably say I shut him the fuck up and put him in his place (until he replies to this of course). The only thing fucked up about what I said, is that people would be shocked and appalled and tell me my point of view is fucked up. I NEVER said I support the taliban or terrorism. I just said it’s bullshit to say how horrible they are, and at the same time support the U.S. who does the exact same or worse shit. It’s just that they do it to poor people who we don’t see being killed right in front of us so we don’t give it a second thought. Then when they do it they justify it by saying they’re protecting our rights, and helping us out and we obediently say “Oh thank you so much if thats the case, kill at will, as long as your doing it for me it must be good” You really think the 1% of the population that owns 50% of this countries wealth gives a fuck about the other 99%. Why would they? They live comfortably, why should they ever give a shit. You don’t think the horrible conditions in other countries are due to the lop sided distribution of the worlds wealth. 80% of the world has substadard housing, which means that they don’t even have a roof on their house. The 3 richest men in America have more wealth than the poorest 66 countries combined populations. How the FUCK do you expect me to support shit like that? I bet you yourself would have given U.S. support a second thought if you knew all the facts. Don’t agree with everything I say, but allow yourself to see beyond what you’ve been told your whole life and think for yourself, question authority. Elk thanks for the support man, it’s good to see other intellect on this thread. I used to be very conservative until I started educating myself beyond what I’ve learned in high school and college. Maybe you all should to and then see where you stand on these issues. Peace.

c/j, you insult yourself by proposing such drivel.
I will waste no more time with you.
Back on topic:
W.C. Fields’ proposed epitaph:
“All things considered, I’d rather be in Philadelphia.”
I don’t know if I agree. It is a tough choice.[/quote]
That is any easy way out zap. You don’t have any kind of rebuttle so you say you won’t waste time because you know I’ll throw it back in your face and you’ll have no good response. If not, prove me wrong, I’m not going anywhere. Until then all I see is your tail tucked between your legs and there you go running. See ya. Don’t trip on that thing.
You’ve just said that you want to get your master degree in P.E. and go make some fat ass cash.
Why is it okay for you to make fat ass cash, but not for others? Are you special? Do you grant yourself special rights because you are so smart?
Your glaring hypocrisy fits you about right.
As for the proof that you seem to leave out of every post in which you spout your ‘facts’ about the U.S. Where is it? Where is the proof of your ‘facts’?
Methinks your are just a dumbass kid that has never held a job, or owned a business. Most school children like you always fashion themselves to be way more enlightened than they actually are.
But I’ll ask again, probably to be met with the same cricket chirping silence: Where is the proof to support your “facts”? Short of providing facts, you are just another punk kid that knows nothing beyond what their teachers have told them.
c/j,
Not debating you isn’t the easy way out. Disproving you is quite simple because your positions are simplistic and have no merit.
I have read approximately 30 books on Islam and the conflicts in the Middle East. The books I have read have made me think. The foolishness you have posted did not make me think as you claim. You give yourself far too much credit.
Anyway sorry to keep this highjack going but I have a question for c/j-
Do you really think that the entire world’s wealth is just like a big pizza that has to be divided up somehow? Here’s the neat thing about wealth: it can grow, it is limitless. People in Africa can enjoy a better standard of living without people in America taking a pay cut. On the flip side, if all the wealthy Americans sold their yachts and mansions and gave the money to charity, we would still not cure poverty. It’s called basic economics. It’s really neat, you should check it out.

HOLLLYYY SHIT!! You’re further left than Jane Fucking Fonda and Michael Moore combined. I’m laughing my ass off right now! Lemme guess. You’re still getting your ass wiped by some college professor who’s feeding you this bullshit, right?
Didn’t hear you give Clinton any of the blame either. By the way, if his wife gets in office you and I will both be in trouble. But you’d probably vote for anyway. I might even leave the country then. On second thought…Fuck her. I’m not leaving the country I love for anyone.
You sure don’t have a problem using our resources and freedoms, do you?
I know what I think. I think I love the system we live under, imperfections and all. I can think for myself. I think I want to hunt down all the motherfuckers responsible for 9/11 and all the motherfuckers associated with those motherfuckers and blow them up too. You’ll probably call me a cowboy now. Yee Haw, motherfucker.

Now that’s a great point of view.
From Mom: “You should’ve finished college, but I love you anyway.”
From Sister: “You should’ve moved to Florida, but I love you anyway.”
From Girlfriend: “You should’ve popped the question, but I love you anyway.”
Geez, in retrospect, I guess I’m somewhat of a disappointment. And the buzzkill carries on…I’ve got to stop reading this thread.

Yeah fuck those rich people, they obviously made the money or were lucky enought to get it, but fuck them. They should pay for everyone else. I am tired of people in a free country like the US getting to spend thier money the way they want. That is bullshit and anyone who thinks they should get to keep thier own money is an ignorant cow. Peace out I am now going to go make a lot of money and figure out how to keep it all for myself…
ok i just can;t drop this.
CJ answer me these questions.
In the past 10 years when was the last time that the US bomed an area when the main intent was on killing civilians, and only civilains, no mititary or people helping the military, such as a train station or a plane???
How much money do you spend on charities or helping the less fortunate of the world since you are “set up nicely here”?
How many countries have you visited to support your beliefs???
How much of your information is from websites???
Since you are going to be in the petrol buisness and making the BIG CASH are you going to give it all away to help people??? And you are talking about the rich being currupt, at least you picked a career field which is 100% fair, honest, and completely unrelated to terrorism right.
