May 21, 200322 yr And is it just me or did anybody else find it weird that after Bush knew the planes were hijacked he continued to read the book to the classroom of kids? Wouldn't you think that he'd have something more important to do....like stop the rest of the planes from hitting?! The only way to stop the terrorists after they hijack the planes is to shoot the planes down..... and you'd blast Bush for doing that. Your reply, like the article, is ridiculous. And to think there wasn't mass confusion at the civilian and government levels during the time between the first plane crashing into the WTC and the last plane crashing in PA is presumptuous at best. You obviously never worked in a job where the situation could go to hell into a handbasket very fast. Until you have, keep your judgments to yourself. I'd like to see how you could have handled 09/11 by yourself any better.
May 21, 200322 yr Some day maybe we'll live in a Socialist paradise like North Korea or Cuba. Some day we'll be ruled by a benevolent leader like Mao, Stalin, or Pol Pot. Some day we'll be munching on our soy tofu sandwiches ( one meal per day only please comrades ) and singing glorious songs of the revolution. George Bush will be washing dishes somewhere and Al Gore will run the state owned rickshaw firm (the preferred form of transportation.) Our lives will be complete and we will all live happily ever after.
May 21, 200322 yr Apu is always going to whine about how the government sucks but hell never do anything. Apu, if you care so much, do something. If not, just shut up already!
May 21, 200322 yr Apu is always going to whine about how the government sucks but hell never do anything. Apu, if you care so much, do something. If not, just shut up already! Open mouth, insert foot. He does. He participates in rally's. And he's an active member of many organizations. What do YOU do..?
May 21, 200322 yr Open mouth, insert foot. He does. He participates in rally's. And he's an active member of many organizations. What do YOU do..? Im gonna join the Marines. Im gonna fight for my country. And that is the greatest way you can ever serve your country. Telling troops that what theyre doing is wrong doesnt help anything...

Gonna, gonna, gonna..... let us know when you enlist. Oh.. you owe Apu an apology for ASSuming he doesn't do anything. Right, wrong, or indifferent, he does what HE believes in.

I guess you can say Jeffrey Dahmer did what he believed in in eating people. Ya gonna congratulate him? If its wrong, I dont care if you believe in it, I aint gonna congratulate ya. And I am going into the Marines. But I wont tell you when Im going to enlist. Because Im not going to, Im gonna be an officer. Ill tell ya when I do that tho. And I dont care what apu does with himself, Ill always be proud of who I am...

WTF are you smoking today and can ya pass it around please? I hope you have a back up plan to this Marines thing.. you are aware they do psychological testing, right?
May 21, 200322 yr you are aware they do psychological testing, right? Well that explains why youre not a Marine...
May 21, 200322 yr Now you're comparing MURDER to Apu taking advantage of his civil right to protest? WTF are you smoking today and can ya pass it around please? You said basically that its great that hes doing what he believes in, whether its right or wrong. So I just said Dahmer did what he believed in, and I asked if you thought that was great too. Next time, dont set yourself up like that. And Ill handle the psychological testing. Im very sane when I want to be. But when I have to put up with people like yourself, I lose it sometimes...
May 21, 200322 yr Well that explains why youre not a Marine... ROTFLMAO!!! Almost as good as the little 7 and 8 year olds in my neighborhood. Keep workin' on it though.. you'll be able to play with the big kids soon enough.

Roman.. SHOW ME WHERE I SAID THAT!! Can't, can ya? Nope, you can't because I did NO SUCH THING. Now if you want to play.. play with the facts. Otherwise stop being an asshole and LYING to try to prove a point.
May 21, 200322 yr I hope you have a back up plan to this Marines thing.. I am guessing that brain surgeon, rocket scientist, and anger management counselor can be scratched off that list.
May 21, 200322 yr Author If you lose it dealing with people on a message board, how exactly do you think you are going to handle warfare? Just a thought. BTW, thanks Steff for sticking up for me. And SI, I really appreciate how you put up the straw man argument to support your cause. Let's look at the capitalist paradise: -over 100 million that can't see a doctor -millions homeless -millions starving -high child mortality rate -real wages continue to decrease while the rich get richer and the poor get poorer -250,000 jobs leave to foreign countries so unemployment is at increasing highs ...And this is "the world's only superpower"? Yeah, isn't America just dandy? Go capitalism! But way to avoid leaders like Allende, Arbenz, Tito, MNR etc. etc. etc. who have effectively instituted socialist government structures with the support of the people. But thanks for the ignorant post, SI because "communism must be bad since it was the cause of the Cold War". And we all know that the US government never lies, right? Who needs the truth when you can have the nationalistic blinders on? Right?
May 21, 200322 yr Right, wrong, or indifferent, he does what HE believes in. You seem to applaud him right there. And Im just saying that other people thruout history have done the same. Doing what you believe in doesnt mean crap. Only if you do the right thing in which you believe, are you worthy of honor. Hitler believed all Jews should die. Jeffrey Dahmer believed human beings were a good source of protein. Both were monsters. Apus nothing like these two, and maybe what hes doing isnt even wrong. But just doing what you believe in doesnt mean a thing...
May 21, 200322 yr I am guessing that brain surgeon, rocket scientist, and anger management counselor can be scratched off that list. No kidding!! BTW.. you going tonight?

Show me where I said that and not where YOU think I "basically" said that. Now.. if you are so dense that a point about utilizing your rights and committing obvious crimes needs to be defined for you, then you have more problems than I imagine. You keep wanting to compare apples and oranges. The two DON'T mix.
May 21, 200322 yr No kidding!! BTW.. you going tonight? Yes, Huge and I will be in 162, row 1. Not yet sure where we are eating before the game, maybe at Gio's again.

Well I can't imagine where you ever got an idea like that..? Especially since I never said anything remotely close to that. But perhaps it was maybe because you ASSumed? Why don't you try asking questions if you don't understand what someone means in a post rather than being s***ty to them? And you didn't say that was hardly the case. You tried twice - and failed - to make a comparison of a murder to a civil activist. Just say it Roman.. it doesn't hurt. Repeat after me, I was wrong.
May 23, 200322 yr Apu is always going to whine about how the government sucks but hell never do anything. Apu, if you care so much, do something. If not, just shut up already! They try. But since their "candidate" Ralph Nader can;t even pull 5% in a national election, their rallies are pretty much all they've got going for them. Their movement is kinda like bad heavy metal..loud, and obnoxious, and most people just tune it out.

My comparisons make sense to me and a few others, but the majority just think Im insane or rude (which I never try to be, it sometimes just happens)...

Their movement is kinda like bad heavy metal..loud, and obnoxious, and most people just tune it out. Actually Nader has pulled over 5% in the polls before the debates...but after Perot got the 5% needed to get in the debates, the GOP/Democrats and the sponsor Anheiser Busch made it 15% instead. Nader was kicked out of the debate because they changed the rules in the middle of the game. So since he wasn't going to be in it, FOX hired him as an analyst. Even with the press pass, state troopers wouldn't let Nader in the hall where the debate was being held. Then a guy gave Nader a ticket, but they wouldn't even allow him to sit in the audience. What a great democracy. And also, for the record, I am not a member of the Green Party. But nice job with the straw man argument.
May 23, 200322 yr Apu, do you really love this country? Id like to be an optimist and say you do but sometimes you just seem to be rather anti-American. Which is it?
