Why is love so hard? (Page 2)

Never said that. biggest point i made was that just because one doesn't agree with what Bush may or may not have done doesn't mean he deserves to die, too.

"And more importantly, if you're man who can so readily send others out to die for your mission, you yourself should be prepared for death."

Now where was it that Saddam was when he was captured? Oh that's right, in a cave, hiding. The last the media reported about Osama was he was hiding somewhere in the mountains. So yes, by your own proclamation, you're right-no doubt a man who can send others to die and kill others for your mission should do just that. 🙂

I am curious as to what others' opinions are of Blair. Or Chavez.

Interesting, out of the 43 presidencies, only 11 have no military background.

No, a new President would not be elected. The VP assumes the roles of the President and the then-President would nominate a new VP where in turn the House and Senate vote with the 2/3-passing rule.

One thing I should point out, the president is the head of the military and he can send troops overseas, BUT the president cannot declare war on any country WITHOUT that declaration passing in Congress AND getting some sort of support from the UN countries.

"HP: "because one doesn't agree with what Bush may or may not have done doesn't mean he deserves to die, too"

What I was implying, was maybe he should be tried for "crimes against humanity"..As I do believe he is responsible for wiping out entire countries on the world map on false information..Bush and bitch (blair) both...How are his action any different from the likes of Saddam gassing the kurds?..he is indirectly participating in the same action against people he perceives as the lesser human beings in his own country..how much assistance was given to the victims of hurricane Katrina..for example..Anyways thats end of my rant..

Tossers the lot of them!!

Being from Houston and our crime rate and population increasing as a result of Katrina, I can tell you that quite a bit was given - albeit not enough. But that's another soapbox I don't need to get up on. 🙂

All I will say is, yes, not enough assistance from the federal, but Texas gave a lot of our own resources to these victims. Not many other states helped out.

Hurricaine Katrina is not the best example given that I was comparing the gassing of kurds..I can think of a few worse but I really cannot be bothered to wasete my breath..3000 american lives have been taken in the war alone for example..if that is the official figure..

Did you watch the documentary called "The Road to Guantanamo"? Shows the true face of american politics really...

uh oh

"Texas should be it's own country. Everyone knows that..."

And we're the only state that can do that! Wouldn't be a good idea, but we like to think we can pull rank, huh?

i know one thing....300,000 hurricane victims crowded atlanta...and they are still pouring in. Sorry about what happen...but we barely having breathing room...

Hmm...as does yours.

Actually, you would be assuming.

And boldly do so as much as you'd like. 🙂

No, sweetie. Presuming is the same as an assumption. When you presume or are presumptuous, are making an assumption of something being true without proof to back up your thought. When you say someone is assuming, you are basing that on what information you've already been provided. Therefore you "boldly" going out on a limb stating I would be opposed to Hilary is an assumption.

LOL...

Doctor..Can we know the precise reason of that laughter ?

Yes Guru jee - it was the way bling just comes out with it...I can just imagine a cute little lost boy concerned look whilst making a statement of that kind..

Sorry, mind tends to wander at times...

Why? Were you pissed cos I laughed?

Isnt' Hilary Clinton a Scorp? or am I just imaging everyone is a Scorp

ahh no...Just wanted to strike a conversation.

Hilary is a scorp..yup.

I will vote for Jon Stewart if and when he decides to run.

Damn G, I thought for a minute you were getting all authoritarian on me...quite liked that!...DOMINATE ME!!!!!!!!!!!

Bling: "she's probably still pissed from Bill getting sucked off by that secretary....payback time —)"

how many times...He DID NOT have sexual intercourse with that woman!!!!

😛

Aww man Jon Stewart is a hot piece of ass...also a scorpio with an intense stare...

Saw him host one of the award ceremonies..not sure which one..thought that name rang a bell...Damn I would vote for him too..

Trust Bling to do the magic ...alwayz !

LOL @ Pic...hehe

well its politics...dirty tactics..right at home then!..

No please...really the crown is yours for the taking 😛

Obama? nah you lost me now

LOL..All the royal children are mingers apart from Prince Willy...

Right, I am off to bed...

Cheerio all

You can totally imagine Prince Harry being Dirty though..(pun intended)

Do we essentially have to assume that shez Bill's daughter ?

I love hypocracy.

"Yet, no one say that there is racism in France. Despite real life testimonies of experiencing it by minorities and foreigners"

Bran, that would not be totally correct. I have spoken to many personally and they seem to have experienced some form of discrimination in France. I personally feel that the French have this peculiar disdain for anything foreign and they assume that others are simply stupid. I dont see it as racism as it may be in their nature to be cynical.

"How about the caste system in India? you do realize that this is still going on"

Yes thatz completely true and one of those issues where we are stuck ! Itz easy to blame others for racism but this is one place where the house is in total disarray.

"It is America who gets the blame for subtlty, while everyone else gets a free pass for murder"

Well...the ways which America has traditionally adopted cant be termed as not underhanded either so cleanly. No doubt Americans have been subtle but yet not benign. They have been equally ruthless in devising ways of advocating their brand of capitalism and socio-geographic hegemony without factoring in the long-term repurcussions they would have. People outside the American continent have been gullible/incompetent but then Americans have proved to be an equally voracious predator. Not trying to paint a picture of villainy here but cant give a clean chit to them for their interpretation of world order and justice.

And frankly , I dont see racial abuse as an issue at all. Yes, discrimination based on race is negative when it becomes rampant and damaging. U cant expect this malady to go and expect people to be objective and fair in their assessment of outsiders ..coz then U are demanding a completely competiiton-free world.
