durrie, my problem with qbone is his generalizations as to all of us being all for this. im not, i never was, and i dont like it and there are many americans that dont also. im not going to stand by and be judged by someone who groups me in with everyone else. im tired of hearing about how we are brain-washed and are drones of the media. do u believe everything u hear or see. we are capable of independant thought, just because i live in america doesnt mean i should be judged as part of an ignorant clan . i do understand why we are not wanted in iraq and why we shouldnt be there. no i wouldnt like getting raided, bombed or having a relative killed by an invading force. the people of america would be doing the same thing if someone was in our country as we are in thiers. i am not an infant who cannot grasp this without having someone from another country explain it because he feels he is so more enlightened than any american could possibly be.
and no i dont judge them either. the people in iraq just want to live thier lives out, so do i. we are not so different. if q-bone continues to group all americans as the same than i will correct him each and every time.
Gosh parallax...it is now blatantly clear you have not understood my posts. I don't want to continue the opinion ping pong game as I said earlier but I have to say this...please read knowing I do not actually hate anyone...
You're right... Neither myself nor Qbone live in Iraq...but nor do you...but that's not the point I'm trying to make...I'm not asking you to believe me or trust me...I'm not trying to convert you or get you to be like me...this isn't about me...nor is it about you...America, Iraq, Pallestine, Muslims etc...
This is about the innate predisposition of the westernised human mindset to always want to CONTROL...both each other and our resources bacause of the TOTALLY dis-proportionate ratio of it's needs vs wants...!!!
We don't need even 20% of the crap we have in our lives but what is worse is that we actually DEMAND them out of life...and these "demands" are the reason for our minds degradation...
And G.W.B is a shinning FUKN example of that degradation. I don't hate him...I don't hate America...I hate what he allows to control him and America...and as such I am WELL within my right to express that...!!!
LET GO BUDDY...!!!
The ONLY thing we have the right to control and actually have any REAL power to control is our very own selves. You misunderstand why I say LET GO. What I mean is detach yourself from anything corrupt...anything anti your agenda...streamline your efforts into positive direction.
Now maybe you can see my point...! You see it's not important who is doing it...under what guise...with who ever as an ally or enemy...it's about the act itself...and THAT is what I will not be a part of because yes G.W.B may well be victorious one day (although I promise you he won't) but then what do we have...
A free Iraq...great...but also 100 000 maybe more MURDERED innocent by standers in the process...even if it was 1 solitary person Parallax...the law of karma dictates that if I am in any way involved I am responisble and must pay for those sins too...hence I will never back G.W.B or any other war monger for that matter.
How are murdered peoples legacies worth less than the ones who managed to hold on...HOW...—
When Jesus said thou shalt not kill...I'm pretty sure he ment even the terrorists too Parallax...!!!

Cj7...I hear you...Qbone often is a rough one to swallow but...put yourself in his shoes...he has no emotional attachment to the U.S and as such his posts are quite full on.
You do have an attachment...and you also agree with SOME of the stuff he says or at least you do know or have met people like of the kind he is talking about...am I right...?
As such...why watse your time, effort and breath on correcting him...— People will never believe the truth until they see it themselves man. Maybe your efforts would be better spent approaching those individuals who are spoiling it for you, and the sane America...now you maybe see why I said G.W.B has got bigger fish to fry that Iraq...
I'm no political analyst or clairvoyant but I reckon mutany aint to far off for G.W.B if he doesn't pull his head out of his AZZ and start careing for the people who pay his bloody salary...!!!

Hey OldJake...I will do just that...I love the skinny don't you...haha!
Do you want to hear a scary fact...My gran was paying 250 - 300 Zim $ for a loaf of bread a pint of milk and a candy bar treat before she left Harare...and that was 2.5yrs ago man. Apparently sugar is like bloody gold dust over there now.
Haha...if you could get it past the corrupt boarder controls working for Bob...you could make a relative Zim $ fortune man...buy a couple of house boats on Kariba...Aaah the good life...what do you reckon...are you in...—
I will pass on Kariba, I expect the whole dam thing to come down soon. As for Parallax I am of the same mind. We are in this to the end and we get a little tired of helping out and getting it put to us at the same time. The world is lucky to deal with GWB and not me, I would just use nukes no troops. a couple well placed booms. Irqa down Iran next send a not to north Korea and ask shorty if he wants to be next. as for civilians tough.
Kerry loses. 2008 Hilery runs with bill as vp. do not say it cant be done as I read it he can be president if she dies for the rest of her term. He just cant run agian. Theoretically he could keep running as vp Knock the pres off and assend to the pr
and no i dont judge them either. the people in iraq just want to live thier lives out, so do i. we are not so different. if q-bone continues to group all americans as the same than i will correct him each and every time.
