You have no way of knowing why most people joined the military. Our Military is voluntary! Everyone who joins signs on the dotted line volunteering to fight if called upon. Anyone who joins for college money is an idiot. Just another bullshit democrat way of thinking... Hmmm? how can I get free college money? Oh I know, I'll join the military and let tax dollars pay for it. hmmm? how can I get more handouts? I know, I'll vote for the democrats so they can take more money from hardworking folks and give it to me so I don't have to work hard. Spending time in Europe does not give you the knowledge to state "most other countries" hate America. If your speaking of other countries governments, your dead wrong. If your trying to speak for the citizens of each country, well that's just silly. There are millions of people around the world who respect America and are grateful for it's role in the world. Of course there are also people who hate us. Doesn't really matter though, they all come calling when they need help. Like it or not, America leads the world and without our help (on many levels) whole Countries would collapse. Comparing abortion to war is laughable.. Do you really not see the difference? Of course there are innocent people dying in wars.... How can you compare that to someone killing a baby because they didn't use birth control? I don't think anyone other than radical Muslims thinks war is right. Unfortunately it is necessary in this world. History has proven that again and again. You can thank war for your pampered life in America. |

Gore lost the presidency because he had less votes! I hate it when people say that independent votes would have been Gores. That's just ridiculousness at it's finest! |

How do you justify using rough generalizations, and then "correct" me for mine? Obviously i cant know what everyone thinks, BUT the generasl citizenship (in my experience) of most countries appear to think that America is arrogant and constantly butting in to other people's business. Also, on what experience do you base your astute observation? Are you well travelled? Have you lived in another country? Just curious since you pointed out earlier that one person's opinion was baseless because they had not been outside of America, yet mine appears just as baseless in your eyes for the exact opposite reason.
"Bullshit democrat way of thinking". That's an informed opinion. I imagine real-world discussions with you resort to you shouting your ideas loudly so that the other person cant get a word in edgewise and gets irritated an leaves, therefore you dont have to hear their stance and can go on in your self-righteous indignation. Or, i could be wrong. Thtat is just the impression you are giving. Also, in case you havent noticed, the attitude of the government very rarely reflects the feelings of the populace at large. I DO agree that a large part of why some of the world's most successful nations are the way they are is because of our influence (Germany and Japan are 2 examples). that doesnt mean they all love us. We ARE also the only remaining Superpower on earth, and this is the root of a lot of our unpopularity. Rather than being seen as benevolent leaders, we are seen as arrogant, pushy bullies. And fundamentalist muslims are just the latest crop of people that cant stand us. And many MANY people and countries want to start war. Why else would they have such large standing armies when they dont need one? The only thing holding them back is the fact that any act of violence these days brings the UN and America down on them like a swarm of wasps. This IS a good thing i believe. Being good out of fear of punishment isn't GOOD, but its a start. Also, the "You need us" approach isnt going to make us any more freinds. Try telling a Canadian that they Need us to cover their ass. Or an English person. So what if onpaper it is true? so what if America didnt back many countries they would be easy fodder for their neighbors? Do you want the cops swinging by every so oftenreminding you that without them, someone could come into your house and steal all your things and you could do nothing? Of course not. I compar ewar to abortion because abortion is considered murder, but innocents killed in war are "acceptable losses". Again, if they aborted a baby, they would be evil bastards, but if they blew up a building and killed 20, they made a slip up. Believ me, you dont spend your life growing up in the military and not know a thing or two about war. I know what war has done for us. i also know the difference between World War 2 and Vietnam. I knwo the difference between fighting for whats right, and fighting to prevent a nation from converting to a system of government that we dont want them to have,but they could care less about. Iraq was a 50/50 war. Saddam needed tobe taken down, he was a bad person doing bad things. BUT, we should not be lied to. i would have backed Bush 100% if he had said "I dont ike him, he tried to have my dad killed, and you all KNOW you want him taken down." Fuck weapons of mass destruction. Kick his ass because it needs to be kicked. I thank the people who FOUGHT for this country for my life, not the wars they fought. "A true warrior prepares for battle, but prays for peace." You might want to put a little more thought into your words before you use them, as you have advise3d others to do. War doesnt do shit but kill people. its the people who were in them that actually accomplished something. And as far as the last election went, Bush did not have the superior number. No one knows for sure, and it is a moot point anyway because that was 4 years ago and he has already been in office to do his damage.

I'm just glad that if we are going to be ridiculous, at least were are of a high caliber apprently :)
And thank you :) I didnt particularly appreciate being spoken(?) to as if i am an ignorant child. i thought i was more than giving in the abortion thread with gothic chick and i am trying to remain above the insults. i wish she could do the same :rolleyes: I am, however, not surprised. Bwind is always rational and polite, why cant the people that agree with him be?

If anything irks me about Bush, it is this. We seriously need to get him out of office before he starts meddling in anything else he's too uneducated to know shit about.
