KrustyKidd

No wonder nobody takes these people serious. http://www.canada.com/national/story.asp?i...25-B1FD4F777325 I own my own home here in Pembroke. I wish to be called King Krusty. I will not do business with anybody who does not address me as "Your Highness." If you do not call me that I will go home and act indignant like these two idiots. No wonder nobody takes homo marriage seriously .

So, the troops are down about recognition. http://www.nationalpost.com/national/story...1B-887AC9AE8695 Now that our boys are going into real war zones it's time to give out real medals. Possibly "Service Under Fire" badges such as the Americans have. Like our Pathfinder, Paratrooper, Diver badges. Soldiers are motivated more by pride than money. I say pay them more, award them more, cut out the surf and turf lunches for Liberals and give them all that with new equipment to boot.

I won't debate this but would like to add that I am somwhat selfish. I back the human race for now. Check back with me in ten million years and my alliances may switch to the house fly, in the meantime I have a swatter handy.

I agree. The UN is a big money burning machine. Seems in order to make anything work you need competition. We need another UN that is privately owned and publicly funded.

When,where and with whom did you last have this conversation with? Me, it was 1990 in a Palistinian owned Barber Shop in Damascus. The guy thought all Israelis should die or vanish and didn't care how it happened. He also figured that in order to have peace, all heads of state in the Arab World should be overthrown and replaced by a Palistinian. Gave a darn good haircut and I tipped well.

and while there was a war going on, it was justified in the minds of the British that the end justified the means, even when killing innocent civilians. I do not blame the British for this, for it was the policy brought about by the will of one man, Arthur 'Bomber' Harris. No Lonius, terrorizing was a byproduct of the bombing of German industrial areas. In those days navigation was done by the stars and bombs were dropped by estimates and reacted to gravity and wind. The Rhur and Rhine industrial areas were the English target while London population was the German target. My father was one of those involved and told me of the whole lead up, preparation for and the mission itself. All followed by an equally dangerous trip back to England. And, and, the long debriefing. Why would they have a debriefing you ask? To see how many people they scared? No Lonious. In order to find out which factories were toasted so they could take them off to do list for next time.

President Arafat? King Arafat? Not Prime Minister so what is he? Ah, Head of Terrorism scince the seventies, Chairman of the Joint Belt Bombers Association, Lead Thug. There was a Palistinian Leader but he got rid of him by working against him. Assasination is an overstatement for sure. Saddam with Dan Rather; Dan: So some would say that you are an oppressor of the people and that your methods of ruling are somewhat excessive ie torture, murder, starvation, televised rape to family members to ensure complience. What do you say to that? Saddam: It is not true. (wipes eyes with handkerchief) For anybody to say that is hurtful to me. Excuse me while I display my femminine side. Begins to sob ucontrollably. Saddam's Debate with Dubya: Bush: You have flaunted 14 UN resolutions Mr Hussein. Saddam: Define resolution. Bush: (Searches through Webster) It is an agreement for action an this agreement was made by the UN. Saddam: Define United Bush: (searches through Webster) Joining, BTW, I am a uniter, not a divider. Saddam: Define Nation. Four hours later Saddam: Define terrorism. Bush: (Muttering to self while shaking head) Damm this guy is good. .

BBQ'd a T-Bone tonight, why did I pay more for it than before the mad cow thing? No wonder these guys are having problems, the price has gone up. I would have filled a freezer if it had gone down. I thought that beef would get cheaper. How come it costs more?

It's Israel, not the US that wants him whacked. Not assasination either, he is and has always been, a terrorist. Whether he actively takes part or not he, by action or inaction allows it. Israel is justified in taking him out. It may be politically incorrect and cause problems but moraly he is a justifiable military target.

The Liberals are so bad that the country needs to be saved. If these guys cannot get it together they too, are part of the problem. Pro rate the votes so that one CA vote equals 2/3 PC or something but get it going for God's sake. So help me, if these people let Martin walk into 24 Sussex without a challenge then I'll never vote again.

Hate to break it to you Craig. Unless he rose from the grave and put his name on the "Do Not Call List' he's still getting offers to have his scissors sharpened and free flight lessons.

I took a quick peek, looks interesting and I'll examine it later, thanks. I still want to know where the Blair/EU conpiracy comes in though.

Then Taiwan is pretty safe then I would say. It is useless as a radioactive wasteland and China's introspective philosophy has not changed for thousands of years so not much is to be gained for them.

Thanks for being honest Nova. I guess where it is relevent is that you will deal with everybody else reguardless of systems involved. This is a cheap shot for sure but will you only deal with people with money that hate the US? Will you only deal with people that have no money that are Buddhists? Of course not, you will do what you do and to who pays you to do it. Remind me if I ever use your services; if I pay you will you work for me or somebody else seeing as how I am paying your wages? The US taxpayer pays the government to look after Americans. Sometimes they do not do it right or in the best interests of somebody say, from Luxembourg but they are not US taxpayers are they?

I didn't mean invasion. Attrition, it's a nice way of saying seige. It doesn't have to take place a hundred miles off the coast but rather on the high seas, a thousand miles from Taiwan in the air and so on and forth. You know much more than I for sure about the forces in this area but far from home I am sure Taiwan's forces are less than able to deal with China.

Morning Nova. A question relevent to the discussion; what do you aspire to be when you finish your studies. Your raison d'etre so to speak, the way you will feed your family?

=nova_satori,Sep 17 2003, 11:07 Never heard that before. Point me in the right direction here Nova please.

I do. A million cuts, sustained pressure, one word - attrition. Fight that one. Fourteen resolutions, fifteen. Twelve boardings, thirteen .... this blockade, that blockade .... extension of airspace and whatever hapened to those fishing boats ......?

Better cave in then. Wouldn't want to make these guys that want to kills us any madder, they might try and .........kill us? Better to let them all just do what they want whatever that might be, kill us perhaps?

GW. AKA "Dr Evil." The mastermind who has run the whole show from start to finish. Nobody makes a move without his say so. Nothing is left to chance.

Yes indeed. Things to look for are; Morrocan, Saudi, Egytpian, Iranian, American (Jon Wlaker Lingh), Syrian, Yeman, Lybian, Sudanese and Pakistani passports. Posession of shoes, boots or anything made in a foreign country. A knowledge of a world outside the village they are captured in, knowing the name of anybody but Bush, Saddam, Uday and Usay, . Also dead give aways are inability to account for hometown recollections in Afg and Iraq. There are experts in Arabic there that can tell the difference between an Eqyptian and an Iraqi accent as well I'm sure. Oh, one other thing, an Iraqi welcomes money, freedom and democracy while an Egyptian fundementalist hates it.

Looks like. Although I agree with what has happened and is still happening I am watching the process closely. When rules outweigh sense action sometimes makes rules of it's own. Yes, time for this right wing guy to say that things were exaggerated and glad that they were. Knowingly by Bush? Not a chance. By those close to him? Oh ya. Are we better off? Oh ya. Are they better off? Oh ya.

There are presently over 30 resolutions pending or broken by Israel, 20 by Turkey and 15 by Morrocco. The US has vetoed (the only member on the specific resolutions to do so) 36 times UN resolutions against Israel. As you can see, the #'s themselves aren't that important. The use of force was not officially authorized by the UN at the time, for the inspectors were still there. They could not find WMD's, (I don't know if it can ever be proven one way or the other now) but the US decided to invade WITHOUT specific sanction from the UN. Hence the international community's reluctance to 'legitimize' the invasion. (Here comes the illegal part): If, indeed, the US acted without the sanction of the UN, they must declare war. If they did not officially declare war, then it is a violation of the soveriegnty of an independent nation. As with the prisoners in Gauntanamo Bay, the actions of the US are deemed to be 'internationally illegal'. (Those prisoners are being held without legal counsel, on technicalities. The US did not declare war there also, so the prisoners are not covered under the Geneva convention. It was ruled in the US that they are technically not on US soil either, so they have no 'US constitutional rights' .) In a nutshell, they have been kidnapped, for there was no declaration of war and no charges pending. One of the recognized measurements of a country for Human Rights standards are 'freedom from incommunicado detention', 'freedom from detention without charges', 'the right to legal counsel' and expediency of judicial process. ( I cannot recall exactly how these are worded, but you get the idea) Back to Iraq: The absence of a formal declaration of war is what muddied the whole process of the 'reponsibility of rebuilding' and would have been made a lot clearer if the US had 'played by the rules (of engagement)' instead of making up the rules. Two wrongs don't make a right. Lonious, you are correct. All sorts of legal problems are there. Lots of shortcuts were taken for sure but if you define "Soveriegn Nation" in any loose sense it would not include Usay, Uday, and Saddam's personal 320 thousand square mile sex dungeon would it? Now to Afganistan; American was attacked by people who came from Afganistan or whose head was there. The ones in AFG dressed in robes and carried AK47s, wore no recognizable uniforms and blended in with the local population. Spies. Hang them all, no sense giving them anything. Kill them. There is a legal alternative.

NOVA What vision Nova? Help old Kurious Kidd here, what are you talking about? More rhetoric or is there something there like the EU/Blair dynamo I never heard of?

Hey, I'm rational too. What if we were all evil dictators with a nuke pointed at each other's ass, and were so scared shitless of one another that nobody dared make a FUCKING MOVE? Isn't that just as peaceful as "Planet of The Buddists?"
