:rofl::rofl: lol... yea and i like how the mistery scientist of the hour has no name...

... please... giving the finger is your only option, because there's nothing else you can do after posting something as stupid as you did... don't try to hide behind "i don't have time...i just post and that's it..."...you have time...obviously... you could have just told us why you thought it was funny to bomb the chinese embassy...that would have been faster... but you didn't... and why is that?...mmmhmmm...i wonder... so tell us what the conversion rate is... how many foreigners can we kill before one american gets killed... tell me how much more important an american life is than a chinese life...(i'm sure all chinese-american on this board will be interested to hear)... then you wonder why the rest of the world hates the u.s.... you want an answer, just look at yourself... wow...cintron, you're soooooooooo cool...

Smedley Butler on Interventionism -- Excerpt from a speech delivered in 1933, by Major General Smedley Butler, USMC. War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses. I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag. I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket. There isn't a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang is blind to. It has its "finger men" to point out enemies, its "muscle men" to destroy enemies, its "brain men" to plan war preparations, and a "Big Boss" Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism. It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty- three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service. I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested. During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

you laugh about the fact that the chinese embassy was bombed because you're a heartless imbecile... you don't laugh when wtc gets attack, now do you?...why is that?... because you have a sense of humor?... please explain why there's humor in the chinese embassy getting bombed and none in the wtc getting destroyed?... i'm not trying to make sniveling comebacks to what you say, but if you can't understand why somebody would ask you why you think it's funny to deliberately bomb the chinese embassy then maybe you should stop posting on this board (current events) and stick to "cars and bikes"... armchair intellectual...if i am one then so are you, because whether you like it or not, you and i are both doing the same thing here: posting on a bbs... so don't tell me about being self-righteous... cintron, i hate to break it to you, but you're an idiot...

and a thumb pointing at God...lol...SNL: stuart smalley... in any case... ghost did make his point, in this case...shroomy tried to school ghost, when he didn't even know what ghost was talking about...

lol...

nope... i don't miss a guy whose posts only bring insults and false facts to the discussion... who would miss that?... (don't worry i'm sure somebody will spring to your defence and say "i miss that, you $#%&^@ frenchbread"... )

well apart for the unnecessary "dick", i do think that ghost makes his point... and quite clearly too... p.s.: shroomy was swearing too, so i don't think you can dismiss ghost's post for one word... if you do that, the you're going to have to dismiss most of the pro-war people's posts as they swear on a regular basis...

that's supposed to be funny?... please explain how... it's funny to deliberately hit the chinese embassy, but if they would hit one of our embassies, it wouldn't be funny at all right?...then the whole world has to stop......everybody has feel for us...

i don't know you personally, but from your posts, like many here, i can tell how childish you are... i don't know you, but you know me, and you know that i go whimper under my bed when i hear the word "bomb"... right...and how's that?...oh yea, because you know all... well for your information, "bomb" is a word, not name... you appreciate weapons, but not the use of it...so it's like art to you then...you want to just look at them and admire them... well pardon me if i think that all the thoughts, efforts and resources that goes into making "rawking cbu's" and moab's could be put to a better use like say: education, medical research, social services...

how can you say something like that... i can't believe you actually posted that... you have issues man...seriously... to quote t.d. "your process is all fucked up"... "yea man...they rawk...high five...yea bro..." how old are you? what world do you live in?... ps2 world?... this isn't quakeIII "bro"...

i did scroll through... and i did read your article... it doesn't answer anything... where's the logic in: "There's just absolutely nothing to it; it's just not correct," oh ok..duh...if you say so... you want facts, i'll give you facts: 1991-1997 Major us oil companies invest billions in cash in Central Asia to secure equity rights to huge oil reserves. They have no way to get the oil and gas to market. dec. 4, 1997 Representatives of the taliban are invited to the Texas headquarters of Unocal to negociate their support for a pipeline to get the oil out through Afghnistan. The negociations fail. feb. 12, 1998 Unocal VP John J Maresca testifies before the House that, until a single, unified friendly government is in place in Afghanistan, the pipeline will not be built. april 1999 Enron, with a $3 billion investment to build an electrical generating plant at Dabhol, India, loses access to liquid natural-gas supplies from Qatar. Its only remaining option is a trans-Afghani gas pipeline to be built by Unocal from Turkmenistan. 1998 and 2000 Former President George Bush travels to Saudi Arabia on behalf of the Carlyle Group. While there, he meets privately with the Saudi royal family and the bin Laden family. oh tell me this...if they were so much after bin laden... why haven't they caught him yet?... why go to war against iraq, and use up all these resources when iraq doesn't pause an immediate and clear threat, and when bin laden, who is supposed to be responsible for the attack which for we are attacking iraq, is still at large... now wouldn't it be great if they caught him, say, just before or during the next presidential elections?...

sorry about the "an"...i corrected it... but since we're down to that, you might want to take a good look at that: ' it's called an apostrophe..try using it once in a while... you pro-war people are funny when it comes to the reason why we've preemptively attacked iraq: you guys bounce more than a ping-pong ball between the all-chinese and all-belgian champions...

what pipeline right?... answer: the one they are constructing right now... how's that for reality... but please explain to us why that is a joke...and don't forget to give all the bakground information on this issue... thanks...

hey what's up mahs... i wasn't angry at all...sorry if you felt this way... but to answer... you and your friends are a minority in this country...and that's bad... sadly, our country is quite uneducated for an industrialized power...even more so for the first nation in the world... i'm not saying that all this took place overnight, and for the purpose of this war... what i am trying to convey to you is that it works to the gov't's advantage if the mass of the people is uneducated... because comes time to side with your "country" or the other, it seems like no choice, and so whenever the gov't goes to war, it is almost guaranteed backing by the majority of the people (in the beginning at least)... so all the gov't has to do to get the people behind them, is to play the "patriotic" card and voila...

huh?!?!... where is the conspiracy?... these are facts, and i'm just pick up what siceone has thrown down... but if it comes out of me it's a conspiracy theory?... there's no conspiracy theory... if the average population can't place their own country on the wolrd globe, how can they possibly think for themselves on foreign policy issues?... they can't... so the gov't does it for them... and at the same time, the gov't controls the education system... do you see?...

then don't preach it's for the good of the iraqi people, or whoever else... you're a HYPOCRITE...

this is what i have been saying the whole time... the u.s. gov't has historically relied on a very large majority of the population being uneducated with respect to the world (outside u.s. borders), history and politics... why? because that is a tremendous power...a nation that can be convinced of anything, because it doesn't know any better... how to change it?... seems impossible...there's too much at stake, namely an easily controlable people... like sassa said, you need to change the system...from the inside... but who's inside?...the ones profiting from the miseducation of the people... going along with your poll, i had said something similar to dnice35 when he told me that i couldn't be educted since i was french... i had told him that the average u.s. highschool graduate can't place the u.s. on a globe... his answer: "there you go degrading americans, you fucking euro trash make me sick, you swear your shit dont stink...... please go back to your croissants and hairy women....." see a mass population like that is very easy to control... all you need is a self-righteous looking leader preaching all the right words: "God...Freedom...We will prevail...USA #1..." ("God"...and this is supposed to be a democracy... )

exactly... and you don't think that's wrong?... you would if integrist countries had the largest armies in the world... p.s.: how can you even put a smilie after that?...unreal...

the media in the states is not controlled by the gov't...no... "come on frenchbread...you read too many conspiracy theories"... do i? then explain this: it's like they say: "if they blast it loud and long enough on tv, it'll make it so for the american public..."...

well... i think one detail is funny: while baghdad is under looting, and total anarchy, and the rest of the country is experiencing a similar fate, there are 2 things that are guarded from the beginning by u.s. marines: 1. oil fields throughout the country 2. the ministry of oil in baghdad (but the gov't went there for the good of the iraqi people...not for the oil...)

dude...don't even try to argue man... you know perfectly well that you and i talked on aim about this... i told you cheney was still getting money from haliburton... and you said it was "impossible", that there was "no way"... so don't start to tell me some "reasons" now... your stance was "it's impossible for him to get money from them"..."it would be a conflict of interest"... it is possible, and it is a conflict of interest... just admit when you're wrong man...

couldn't have said it better... :aright::aright:

lol... my bad i thought you were trying to say in french...
