Edited Topic If there is a certain topic that you feel we cauld all agree upon, please make the suggestion and we can see if it is at all possible. Thank you, one and all.
Could we all agree that things are a mess in just about the whole world & there is no "easy fix" for any of it. B12
Here is one we may all agree upon: WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENT, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH? My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of Iraq regime has been completed. Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete. This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq. This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning. Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short. The United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, Australia, and Poland are some of the countries listed there. The other list contains everyone not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening. Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war. The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hellholes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption. Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France. In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth. Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France, or maybe China. I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France, Germany, and Russia. Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO and withholding all funds pledged, as well. Bon chance, mes amis. I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York. A special note to our neighbors. Canada's government is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not ****ing us off for a change. Mexico's government is also on List 2. President Fox and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra tank and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put em? Yep, border security. Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now. We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska - which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there. They care. It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, "darn tootin." Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America. It is time to eliminate homelessness in America. To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thank you guys. We owe you and we won't forget. To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic.
I guess we can dream...but liberals will fight us on all of these issues. When you are anti-this and anti-that with no platform (except more government programs and taxes), what can you expect from them?
Can we all agree that disbanding the US military would be ideal? I mean if we stopped making enemies. This was my comment and it is a pretty high ideal. I know that some of you can not comprehend the idea of personal peace let alone world peace therefore you lash out. Pretty pathetic really.
I believe that a large majority of people believe that most lawyers are unprincipled opportunists. Not so?
I hate puppys. Dirty little disgusting things crapping all over the floor. Seriously, though, I probably agree with a lot of people here on a lot of matters at various times. It is just different subject or different takes depending upon the poster. It is just when the subject flips eventually to politics that people tend to diog their trenches and hunker down.
This is exactly what I was talking about. Now as it happens I don't really mind puppies, as long as they aren't being served in the stew. Some of my friends around these parts add a helping of dog in their stew and IF you are one of the favored guests ,you are told to 'dig deep'. This is because that is where the chunks of dog meat usually settles in the pot. If you dont' think about it, it's not half bad. of course if you do think about it then Stu Joe is right, they are disgusting things! So I guess this is one subject that at least he and I can agree upon.:hug:
No, but they are my neighbors! In this state its kind of hard to live anyplace outside of town and not have indian neighbors. Not half bad folks for the most part.
