anyone in support of the war should be sent there, in fact anyone supporting the republicans should be sent there

I also live simply by choice - but I was addressing the cultural and political zeitgeist. No matter how an individual chooses to live, we are all on the same sinking ship. Maybe a few of us will make it to the lifeboats, but it looks like they have been reserved for the first class passengers and crew.

Two.  The US and Shaganawania.

how many countries are fighting in iraq

Who is 'they'. Do you mean the media? The democrats? The republicans? The citizens of this country? If we go that far it will be because of all of those groups. Anyone who says "liberals are idiots" or "conservatives are idiots" is part of the problem, so just make sure thats not your approach.

you're a fucking idiot. read some chomsky.

how the fuck would you know if ron paul doesn't have what it takes? how old are you? have you been in ron paul's shoes? have you lived his life? I honestly think it's an extreme insult to assume that a man with tens of years of political experience doesn't have a clue as to what hes getting into. are you a fucktard or what? don't gimme bullshit like that. I hate that shit.

basically, they created a game... Life is no game, but they made it one.. and now it's backfired on them. the country might go into civil war, not because its genuine, but because they made it that way. you cant toy with nature friends, because life isnt a campaign, its not a game, its an experience. and the whole experience is inevitable.

Can I ask you a question? When Republicans claim that the small problem of voter fraud requires disenfranchising a whole segment of the population that wouldn't vote for them, is that a problem? I agree, our society is polarized and its hurting the country as a whole, but are you interested in doing something about it, or just pointing out how disingenuous the Democrats always are, especially when it concerns the ture and honest Republicans?

[costy1511]

"continue to be the stable force in this mixed up and sometimes violent world"?

That is an uninformed statement! Here's some names for you: Noriega, Pinochet, Saddam Hussein, Shah of Persia, Salaza of Spain, Suharto, Halie Salassie (Ethiopia). All dictators within their countries and all either backed or installed by the US. They all committed atrocities on humankind that is both unforgettable and unforgivable.

When and where does this "stablising" influence come in to play?

[scumbauggio]

I will agree to disagree about that and whether or not anything has been "secured" for or by "us", and wish you a happy whatever you choose to celebrate.
