Am I the only one that remembers the "countdown to disarm?" If our intentions were only to liberate Iraq, we wouldn't have given Saddam a f*cking timelimit to disarm his "Weapons of Mass Destruction." We would have just gone in, kicked his ass, and left. Instead, we (Why am I even using the word "we?" Aren't you "from" Russia?) waited. We waited for him to disarm weapons that he didn't have. Then, when Saddam refused to disarm the (so far) non-existant weapons, we swooped in and "liberated" the Iraqis. After all, with our seemingly infinite supply of oil and money, it would just look terrible if we were wrong for once.

You summed it up perfectly: "oh my god what a moron." First, I don't even listen to Rage Against The Machine. Second, you're a little stereotyping nazi bitch. Oh my yes... I disagree with Bush's policies... therefore I must be following a trend! It only makes sense to discriminate EVERY SINGLE anti-Bush person into a neat little shrink-wrapped package! And if they disagree with what I think, I can just denounce them as dimwits who are merely trying to pass off as intellectuals! After all, if they don't support Bush, they can't be right.

Shove it up your ass, Hitler.

Did I ever say that he wasn't a nasty person? No. Did I ever say that he didn't deserve to be removed from power? No. All I said was that America went into Iraq for the wrong reason, and then acted rashly to save its reputation.

Christ. For someone who "doesn't" live in America, spends most of his time working on his computers/web cams, and playing an online game, you sure do know a lot about us.

It's obvious that no real progress is going to be made in this topic. You're not going to change my mind, and I'm not going to change your's. So after your usual holier-than-thou rebuttal, I'm not going to bother responding. Go on, fire away. No one will care. Arguing over the net is just like the Special Olympics, anyway. Even if you win, you're still retarded.
**** yeah! *Holds up hands for a high five*

All I know is that I am not following rage against the machine...I have never even heard of that.
*Rolls eyes*
Band kids...

:
I'm sure they surrendered beforehand and America still dropped it. It wasn't the fact they bombed them either, it was the fact they bombed civilians...
I don't think innocent people should have had to die for it. But if they did have to bomb them, why use something of such devastating effect, that continued to damages people's health fifty years on?

I saw this on Fox News Channel and thought it was quite funny. Haven't seen the rest of the site, so I'm not endorsing anything. I just thought the cartoon was funny. Take a look.

After having the flash movie load, then stall, load, then stall, load then stall. I was finally able to see it in it's entirety. It was funny, especially the part about the five people that gave him the ring.

Ok, I'll start with: What the heck was that? What's up with this usenet thing? I'm not exactly sure what usenet is, but after reading the definition, and some other stuff at the site, I don't think it is really relevant to what we are actually talking about. You didn't really justify or reinforce your argument with releveant facts but just tried to make it seem like you won by using some stupid "law" that has no meaning.

Plus, I don't this site has anything to do with usenet because:

1) Posts made here are not broadcast to other computers. Computers connect to this database and take data from it.

2) From the articles, Usenet is an entirely different thing altogether.

(Now at this point, I may be wrong and will be quite happy to admit that I was wrong since I don't completely understand this whole usenet buisness. I just took the parts I do understand. Still, most of the following still apply).

Now to the actual point. Using that Godwin's "Law" isn't a way to "win" an argument. For one thing, it doesn't even apply here.

1) It is a "Law" on Usenet.

2) All supposed discussion, chatting etc. "LAWS" are just hogwash and have no real meaning or effect whatsoever.

Plus, you don't really "win" the argument anyway. The other person doesn't tell you honestly that they were wrong. Plus, you don't get anything from supposedly "winning" the argument. Like Searex said (and what MANY people have said):

"Arguing over the net is like running in the special olympics. Even if you win, you are still retarded."

In short, don't use a stupid thing like Godwin's "Law" to SUPPOSEDLY "win" or reinforce an argument. It's not.... smart.

Anyway, with that said, I hope we are still on good terms . I just love Searex's oratory skills (well, writing skills).

After watching Louis Theroux last night i came to the conclusion that if we want to rid the world of badness and terrorism we're going to have to cleanse most of America.

Its a sad fact but that country is inbred and f*cked up. Sure, you have the few decent Americans but the majority are screwed on a major scale. Whether they be Nazi Skinheads/Skinbirds or members/supporters of the KKK or members of some kind of Christianness they're dangerous. I'm not just singling those three out either, yes there are aload more of badness' that are spreading their messages but at the end of the day the majority of badness' are Americans.

So, lets all sign a petition to stop terrorism. To cleanse America.

I partly agree with you, Jacob....which is a milestone might I add. Yeah, America is way screwed up and we brag about how great we are. Pfft.

What? Who said anything about me winning? Who said anything about reinforcing some kind of argument? This is all stuff you have dreamed up in order to appear to be jumping onto SeaRex's bandwagon, and it is not a very honorable way to gain the admiration of anyone.

I'm not arguing for any point, nor am I reinforcing any point or argument for a point. Previous to this post and my last, all my posts have been an expression of my opinion and point of view. And unless you are me, you are in no position to scrutinize my opinion.

Godwin's law is about making sure that nobody is compaired to, or referred to as anything to do with those responsible for the horrific acts during world war II. And it is also about making sure that a conversation does not break down to an argument and/or conversation to do with Nazi's or Hitler, sparked by an anolgy of such. If you can't see the relevance in that, try imagining what it would be like if someone called you Hitler or "Nazi Bitch".

I'm sure you'd want people to cut it out, almost as much as Godwin did when he made that Usenet rule, back when Usenet began in the late 80's.

So you think that is good do you? You think it is good to call people such names? You think it is good to try and insult someone? You think it is good that moderators agreed with the non insulting parts of his post, without noticing the fact that I was called "hitler" and "nazi"? If yes to all, I think you're mad.

The blunt factor of this entire argument, is that if your standpoint is that Saddam Hussien shouldn't have been captured, then you are more of a sadist and nazi than you could ever claim that I am. The end result of this war was that Saddam was captured, and thousands of Iraqi's were saved from oppression and death, if the war had not've happened, Saddam would still be in power, and the world would have one more bad guy. What this world doesn't need is bad guys, and what this world doesn't need even more than bad guys, is people fighting for the rights of badguys, thinking that they are supporting freedom and peace.

It would be naive to just think that by never going to war, there would be no world problems. As Saddam has shown, you don't need to go to war to cause a world issue.

This cartoon reminded me of that one picture of Bush wearing Sauron's ring.

This may seem a little random but RATM owns. The "war" in Iraq was about 3 things
1. Getting those approval ratings high and having a solid issue that you can ride to an election.
2. War profiteering
3. Shrub getting revenge on his most hated raghead boogieman. I can see it happening, Bush watching as S.H. gets a bunch of bombs rained on his palaces "That was for Poppy, Biatch!!!"

Statikk HDM's Corollary to Godwin's Law: If someone invokes Godwin's Law on BBS and not Usenet it proves they are an ignorant and arrogant piece of monkey crap. When Godwin's Law is invoked on BBS a mad dash to call the perp an ignorant and arrogant piece of monkey crap will commence and the winner gets a post up of 10 and the honor of declaring the thread closed. Who wants to second this? I'd really appreciate it because I LOATHE Godwin's Law.

this thread needs a vague, ambiguous, and outright off-topic post. IN fact, I would do one, but that would piss people off. but I just need to point something out. so, delete accordingly.

Justified causes with ulterior motives. Imagine making a beverage without nowing how to market it. You decide to get people to drink by GIVING IT AWAY FOR FREE! HEY, you have to get people to know how good and f-ing refreshing it is! It turns out to be so good,that you're consumers want more and MORE! GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!!!! So hey, you give 'em more, knowing full well too much beverage, without moderation, can be bad.....and even deadly. eh, whatever.....they'll start to pay soon. When you say there's no more, you tell you're consumer that they have to work in order make more. Demand is up, you're consumer is satisfied due to the addicing quality of your beverage, and profits go through the roof, as well as your neighbors' rooves. And you will not run out, since the consumers are the workers too, and demand is always up! (hey wait, this little anecdote sounds familiar..... )

so....you have the main reason (money) and you have the ulterior reasons (control and power) replace money with protection of profitm and control and power with money, since money means control and power.
