I hate you and I don't even know you

and btw, I almost busted a nut seeing that girl in your pic...damn shun

it's like every other trendy place in the meat packing district, nothing special at all, except last time I was there definitely felt a good mob element

you're sad, in a really depressing, sad sort of way....

Like you have a law degree and a doctorate...okay whatever. This will be my last post, mainly because you're full of shit. And buddy, blowing up the middle east is feasible (i.e. we're extremely capable of doing it), get your words right. I never talked about being capable; I talked about whether it was wise. And lastly, if we blew up the middle east to save our own lives, who are the real terrorists. Get back to me after you get your m.d.

First off, I responded to your statement that we should "nuke the middle east." That was the issue we first debated. When were dealing with what should be done to eradicate the immediate terrorist threat? Clearly if there is an imminent attack planned, bombing Yemen would do little to prevent terrorists on our own soil no? I think it's clearly obvious why that is wrong, don't you? Second, our country has been on high alert for the past three years, we have lived under constant fear and apprehension of upcoming attacks. What makes these reports so different from the dozens of other ones that we have received? To be quite frank I am quite skeptical of everything that comes out of our leaders' mouths today, I tend to learn from experience. Why should I so blindly follow what Mr. Tom Ridge has to say? I'm aware of why this information has been deemed so credible (logistics, detailed information recovered from a laptop in Pakistan, which has been subsequently confirmed by independent intelligence agencies), but we have heard that all before. I agree that being vigilant and aware is a necessary step to make us "feel" safer, but in the end there is really nothing we can do to stop a determined killer; At least not in the short run. My argument is based more on the long run, and that is why I spoke of soft power and hard power. If we "nuked" the Middle East because we were scared what would the rest of the world do? Could you imagine Pakistan or India's reaction? China or Russia's for that matter? Assured Mutual Destruction buddy. Do you think the rest of the world would sit by and applaud the heroic United States for causing mass destruction to some of the greatest civilizations to live on this planet. Is that your solution? Becuase as of this moment, I have already detailed why I think your knee-jerk reaction is so wrong, and is so destructive. You have simply dismissed my ideas and told me that you have more education than me. Maybe your B.S. and J.D. come from better schools than me, I don't know. Perhaps your plans for a doctorate in the near future will be from a more prestigious program. To be honest, I could give two shits, because it’s obvious that you put little thought or coherence behind your statements.

Ahh...my poor little friend. It would be too easy to rip you a new asshole on an intellectual level, so I will keep this as short and clear as I can. First, you referenced blowing up the Middle East did you not, as if everyone in the Middle East, Arabs and Non-Arabs are terrorists? Truly you do not think this is the case, or maybe you fail to think on your own and listen to the mindless drivel that gets shoved in your face by news channels such as Fox. Listen, there is something known as soft power, and in the long run it is just as effective as hard power. We have seen what our hard power can get us into; the horribly mismanaged war in Iraq is evidence of that. Although hard power is necessary it has to be directed wisely. I could not think of more unwise, unjust and immoral way to use our military might than to eradicate millions of people because a small percentage of them actually threaten our livelihood. We are smarter than that. Are you as immoral and valueless as to believe that bombing and killing millions of innocent and loving people, irregardless of race or ethnicity, is a "good thing." Do you? If so, you're sad, and please seek help immediately. As far as soft power, it is crucial in winning the war on terror, not as a means to stop terrorists (see hard power for that), but as a means of preventing the millions of poor and disenfranchised youth of third world counties from having a reason to rise against us. In case you didn't realize, we won the cold war not only by building up our military and in a sense bankrupting the soviet union, but we also won it by immersing the Soviet youth with our Blue Jeans and rock'n roll. Think about how effective our country would be if we stopped relying solely on the strength of our military might. Can you truly be a beacon of democracy solely through the use of a gun or a tank? Such military force is necessary, but it is not an end in and of itself. I can understand that you are scared, and your knee jerk reaction is to bomb them all. However, you need to be wiser than that and realize (1) you are playing into the hands of terrorists when you spawn that kind of reaction and (2) it is not a long term solution, unless again you are an immoral and valueless jerk (which I would not doubt).

thank god stupid ignorant motherfuckers like you usually work at Mickey D's instead of holding any real power in this world.

details please

oh yeah, did I mention you sound like a fucking tool?

This board really isn't for you. You are looking for the country club, pseudo-intellectual try-too-hard forums, where you will undoubtedly feel more comfortable discussing the latest drop in the bucket fashion wears. You see the problem with the bourgeoisie class (of which you all too desperately make yourself out to be a member of) is that they are too self-inflated to realize that despite the bit of modest envy this society may reflect, underneath it all, we're really just laughing at you—your posts are a perfect example. You would probably be more influential if you stopped trying to seem so important.

What are you a caveman? Speak English boy, English!!!

yeah, forget studying in the last semester...I don't even know what bar review courses start prepping that early. Barbri doesn't start until the week of graduation.

I'm in the midst of studying for it now. I wouldn't start to review for it until after graduation, rather unnecessary and you will blow yourself out. Definitely enjoy life as a 3L, it doesn't last long.
