every heard of doing the right thing for the wrong reason?

This is the very reason I hate political threads on this site. I do not allow political or religious threads on my site (yep, I'm a Nazi right wing censor). Have fun with all your Bush and U.S. bashing...

Oh come on! I can criticise Georgie Porgie a little, can't I? It doesn't mean I hate him. As for the guy who started this thread, he's clearly a nut, don't let him bother you.

But you're right, and I don't particularly care for political discussion; it is too disagreeable a topic. Like Linus said (the Linus from Charlie Brown, not Linus Torvalds!!!) "I've learned never to discuss three things in public: religion, politics, and the great pumpkin!"

edit: jeeze you think I could type correctly!!

ok, i will put a political seciton on my webforum when its ready. and i won't rant here about politics

Calum · « **Reply #20 on:** 30 January 2003, 12:55 »

to all those who would remove free speech:

ranting about politics is one of the things that makes this forum a good read.

i used to like the free speech emphasis on this site, but i notice you are all loudly saying that politics should not be allowed on this board after more than a year of free speech. this would be pretty bad on its own, but what really astonishes me is that while you say that out of one face, you use your other face to do the one thing you abhor: argue about politics!

if you don't want to talk about politics then do not talk about politics, however if you do, then do, it's THAT simple. If a political discussion comes up on this site and you don't want to talk about politics then DON'T reply to the topic. it's not hard. many of the topics on this site are, in my opinion, full of useless rubbish and not worth my time to read, let alone reply, but i still post on this site and i don't get my knickers in a twist if somebody posts something that i myself am not interested in.

I say again: if you DON'T want to talk about politics, then DON'T, but it REALLY pisses me off when people start telling other people what they can and cannot say. You will notice that this forum (The Lounge) is for any discussion whatsoever. This thread is therefore on topic and i think it is inappropriate to ridicule or insult the original poster or those who reply to this topic or any others like it.

i am sorry, but i laughed out loud when you said bush had balls. he doesn't even have brain cells or a vocabulary, let alone balls. luckily though he is too stupid to try and make himself look benign. Clinton would not have been able to handle this situation in the same way bush is, but it's not because clinton has no balls, it's because clinton would have wriggled around trying to get out of his responsibility and making his own life easier, whereas bush just lets those around him pull his strings and says rough approximations of what he is supposed to say, and all around him the real movers and shakers gear up for war, maybe for funding reasons, maybe for reasons of oil supply, who knows?

Just to add fuel to the fire, Go to the BBC's website and in their search box, type the words "taliban" and "Texas", two words that you wouldn't think of using together all that much, and just see what the first item is in the results.

I think when people talk about right wing idiotic despots like bush having "balls", they're referring to the enormous amount of courage it takes to sit behind a desk and order thousands of young men to their deaths. Oh my hero.

Oh, and please don't bring up that piece of piss air national guard commission he got during vietnam. which he barely ever turned up to.

this site is very big on freedom of speech and your site is a linux site. i fully applaud your decision to use the editorial scissors on politics and religion in your forums, it is most welcome and allows your forums to stay focused.

In the same way i applaud this site's eclectic nature and the fact that it is host to a wide variety of opinions about a wide variety of things. i really think that on this forum, as long as it stays in the lounge, it's fine. i draw the line at racism and genuine hate being expressed, but other than that i don't know why we should be trying to keep so rigidly on topic all of a sudden.

Call me crazy, but I'd want someone to have at least be a fucking veteran before he orders troops to war.
Someone who understands first hand the horrors of war.
Really they're not hard to find.
Looking among Rich Texas oil barons who went to Yale is not a good place to find them.

true, also somebody who was a C student at Yale despite having his daddy's money behind him shouldn't be in charge of picking his own nose unsupervised, let alone given command of a nation, a country or the future of the planet.

While we're bashing Bush, this is quite funny: http://www.bushwatch.net/ourfearlessleader.mp3

He has balls alright. I would never have the courage to consistently make a fuckwit of myself in front of the whole world over and over again like he does.

speaking of Afghanistan & oil.. this is a snippet from an article with Gore Vidal

quote:
What it was really about -- and you won't get this anywhere at the moment -- is that this is an imperial grab for energy resources. Until now, the Persian Gulf has been our main source for imported oil. We went there, to Afghanistan, not to get Osama and wreak our vengeance. We went to Afghanistan partly because the Taliban -- whom we had installed at the time of the Russian occupation -- were getting too flaky and because Unocal, the California corporation, had made a deal with the Taliban for a pipeline to get the Caspian-
area oil, which is the richest oil reserve on Earth. They wanted to get that oil by pipeline through Afghanistan to Pakistan to Karachi and from there to ship it off to China, which would be enormously profitable. Whichever big company could cash
in would make a fortune. And you'll see that all these companies go back to Bush or Cheney or
to Rumsfeld or someone else on the Gas and Oil Junta, which, along with the Pentagon, governs the United States.

We had planned to occupy Afghanistan in October, and Osama, or whoever it was who hit us in September, launched a pre-emptory strike. They knew we were coming. And this was a warning to throw us off guard.

With that background, it now becomes explicable why the first thing Bush did after we were hit was to get Senator Daschle and beg him not to hold an investigation of the sort any normal country would have done. When Pearl Harbor was struck, within 20 minutes the Senate and the House had a joint committee ready. Roosevelt beat them to it, because he knew why we had been hit, so he set up his own committee. But none of this was to come out, and it hasn't come out.
