I dislike hippies

xLoHungWangx: that's exactly what I'm talking about, if you truly are against war than you should be able to give ten good reasons against it.

Hamster Huey: I know I was just on a rant at that point, making stupid remarks. I still hate how I haven't heard any substantial reasons not to go to war though.

Yeah, and then anyone who has a dissenting view can be called a communist and basically have their lives ruined. The hilarious thing about McCarthy is that he was the farthest from being an american and those he was opposed to were closer to being American then he ever will be.

McCarthy was opposed to anyone who had views that were divergent from him and acted against them with what was often illegal investigations and "hearings" and by doing so he helped to shred the Constitution more than any terrorist could ever do.

As for the anti-war camp, I think they are to concerend with seeing the leaves for the trees insteaad of seeing the forest for the trees. What I mean is that they are to concerned with the nastiness of war then the repercussions of our leaving Saddam in power. The man openly supports terroism. For more information on that just do a bit of reasearch on Salman Pak and the fact that Saddam has promised to give some 25,000 dollars to the surviving families of Palestinian terrorist suicide bombers.

As for the war, I am for it in that hopefully it will get some sense of stability in the Middle East. I'm really confused about the Middle East. It was the center of this world for a very long time and they have built things that even modern day engineers are amazed with yet it seems to me that sometime around 2000 B.C. they just....stopped. And what's worse it's as if they didn't just stop but they, in some aspects, stagnated and even reversed themselves. The Ottoman Empire, which was Turkish or Moorish and therefore Islamic, once controlled more territory than either the Roman or Greek Empires andyet now they are nothing more than a bunch of oil-robber barons doing everything they can to keep their clan in power at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives.

Weird. Humanity needs to out grow the need for greed and the need to appeasing an absentee god. Now, before the bombs start dropping let me say this. I do think that greed is good. The desire to increase ones wealth is what drives a healthy economy. "Keeping up with the Jones'" and all that. Excessive greed is bad. Regardless of what some infamous NY stock traders have said in the past. When greed surpasses your repsect for other humans and for yourself then it becomes a bad thing. As for the god thing, I myself am an atheist. It is my belief that we have got to start portraying god as merely a beacon in the distance. A guiding light to help us see the path a tad more clearly. I do not think that god should drive us to murder or to declare war or to act in a hatefull manner to another of his creations.

Humanities ability to constantly change it's own facts in order to fit into their own preconceived notions amazes me.

Take this as an example. How did god supposedly create us? He created us not only in his own image but also with out the Knowledge Between Good and Evil. That was to be our test, which obviously we fail. In all reality though, god created us buck-naked, without the shame of our bodies and in perfect harmony with nature.

Now, how did the missionaries and colonialists see that in the 14 and 15 hundreds? They often refferred to these "natives" as savages and yet these missionaries and colonialists lived in perpetual fear of their bodies, often covering themselves from neck all the way down. The most certainly did not live in harmony and to to this day we still do thses things.

We live in a total denial of the way that god created us and yet we are the savages. Yet most humans feel that they are living their lives according to the will of their god.

I see religion as a set of rules given to us by our parents. When we are born and when we grow into toddlers and then into adolescents we are given rules. Don't run with scissors. Don't leave the refrigerator open. Don't heat/air condition the neighborhood. Don't wipe. However, as we grow into our teenage years and even into our twenty and thirty somethings (and for some even into their fourtysomethings) we start to make our own rules. Or we adhere to what we were taught. The point is that humanity needs to grow beyond the rules given us and we need to either come to terms with them or start to work on making our own.

That is what I mean by saying we need to move beyond god. By no means forget him but understand that we need to move beyond him.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents. Didn't mean to get so metaphysical on y'all but I needed to vent a bit.

BTW, any Planetside beta testers here? Cool game.

I fully support our countries actions. I'm glad the United States is taking some responsiblity on fighting terrorism. Other than Britian were the only ones who really seem to care enough to actually do something rather than constant, unsuccessful negociations that get no where. And if you want to know how I feel about "hippies," look at my sig. And when I say "hippies," I'm talking about those idiots who are lying in the streets causing trouble. Its one thing to protest your beliefs, but to divide the country and purposely interfer with people's daily lives is absolutly retarded. Sorry if things are misspelt, I can't spell and im hungry, I get grouchy if I don't eat....

You are awesome...

One of the man reasons we are going to war in Iraq is to free Iraq's people from Suddam's regime. Most soldiers and civilans in Iraq only follow orders due to fear.

Freedom and Peace are not the same and should not be confused with each other.

Closing for duplication...
