Its been a interesting week for the news, I was wondering what the Testament board thought about anything from Iraq, Smallpox virus, healthcare and the greedy insurance companies, Pete Rose, that LeBron James kid, the lagging economy etc. well I dont know anything really.
 
Ok maybe I need to start this off, I think the Smallpox vaccinations are idiotic, as is actually attacking Iraq- anyone else?
 
Attacking Iraq is groundless....smallpox vaccines were discontinued because an average of 4 children a year died from complications.......this whole war on terror is a laugh and completely outragous. It opened up opertunities for countries not of our allies to make us out to be fools and to plot and make our allies think lowly of us. It's all bullshit. The terrorists are just gonna play with us like a cat to a mouse and keep throwing us into panic. ........Anyone who kills/harms a child in any way should be put on death row regardless if that state has the death penalty or not.

Such a shame that we are desercrating 9/11 and using it as a reason for all cover-ups, scape-goating and finishing off would should have been a long time ago.
 
Well said, Liz! I avoid politics at all costs, which is difficult since I work for the US Federal Gov't. But George is a soulless bastard capitalizing on the deaths of thousands to fuel his own personal grudge against Hussein (which his little daddy passed on to him) and to further his own gain. He's using the USA's "patriotism" to slip his deceit past our people. It's disgusting.

And what about these fucking anti-drug commercials-"If you smoke pot, you're funding terrorism". FUCK YOU-what a crock of shit! Talk about propaganda, fuck! We live in a world of deceit and we are far too trusting of our political leaders! THINK FOR YOURSELF-QUESTION AUTHORITY
 
I think Saddam is a soulless killer who should be brought to justice.......

I would hate to catch smallpox from serg ( s.o.a.d)!

My car runs on petro...... how about yours?

" I think an AMERICAN (with bigger balls than me) should fly a plane into that big gold domed building in Mecca...

In the words of one of our great American fathers...... "SPEAK ENGLISH OR DIE" B.M

If I can take out 10 of them before I go, then I've done my part!

Legalize Pot.......

Down with mandatory minimums!

THE CAPTER OF SIN 4 PRESIDENT! :headbang:

P.S I think it should be o.k to have sex with your secretary!
 
I personally think if we did attack Iraq- this would just invite terror upon the US. One only needs to look at the Palestinian situation to understand this, if you occuppy a people, and treat them as second class citizens, or in our actions against Iraq, continually bomb and impose sanctions upon them, they will become piss- offed, and will try anything they can to get revenge or justice in their dissillusioned eyes. Add Islam to the mix, and you have even more of a problem.

The only solution i see, is to leave the middle east the hell alone- let them find another enemy- maybe Israel for a while. Lets buy more expensive gas, we can afford it.

My cousin is from Iran, and he thinks the country is dangerous and backwards, but really what can theUS do, when we tried intervention with these countries it failed, as it did with the Shah.

I think we should just blame the british for this mess, they laid out the modern middle east as we know it- and gave into the zionist movement to creat Israel the mortal enemy of the arabs- they should bear the responsibility of fucking the whole region up.
 
Attacking Sadam is pointless it seems, but it's really just part of bush/israel's crusade against the middle east that they have been planning since the summer before 9/11. Conveniently, there was an "incident" which made it perfectly acceptable to everyone to bomb the hell out of Afghanistan.

Do not be suprised if there is another "incident" that will result in a war with another middle-eastern country.
 
I agree with some of everyones comments. However, I especially agree with tattooedsean, for a few reasons. The U.S. always plays this "PC" "We love everyone" country. The reality is that we help LOTS of countries and people. How are we rewarded with this you might ask? Well, most of these countries hate us and try to kill us. 911 is just the tip of the iceburg. I really believe that 911 was only a taste of what's to come. It's sad that we will always be thinking that a terrorist will try to kill us at a ballgame or major public event , like new years or something. Sending a message of "dont' fuck with us " might be a good way to this. I'm not sure i agree with that whole-heartedly but it's just my way of getting the frustration out on them for killing approximately 3,000 + Americans. Most of these problems stem from 1- Religion , 2- Money. Unfortunately , both of these will always be an issue and this will continue for years to come. I'm an american and proud to live here.
 
If we didn't butt our noses in their business we wouldn't be here discussing this. We as a nation have our own poor to feed, our own homeless to shelter, our own abused to save. Why spend the people's money saving everyone else's people thus not having enough funds to help us be a better country? Did we not learn anything from Vietnam??
