I know Doreen. This is why our (in Canada) journalists commented that they don't understand where he got his "within one year" since the report made public by the Intelligence services said in 2010. Bush just seems in a hurry. You know as well as I that words of politicians are not always truthful, as long as it gets them what they want.

Doreen goes to listen to some Reggae stuff! hehe

whatever will be will be, you guys no use even debating it...

There are no good solutions now, and there were no good solutions when I was in the Vietnam war. The lack of good solutions there was overshadowed by the more imminent concern that people in my immediate periphery presented me with a dilemma: kill them first or die. I was very consistent at choosing the former so you're stuck with me. The next terrorist act on our soil which murders hundreds or thousands of people will take the current debate out of the ethereal philosophical strata and bring it down to the realm of gritty reality/survival where, for better or worse, philosophical niceties only whisper in a voice that's barely audible. Why are we talking about stuff like this on a great site like this when we could be skinning something?

hey mosh, i'm saying your words on a message board have less effect on effecting change than physically doing something, and civillians are limitted on what they can physically do.

and again...when i said "your" words on a message board...I'm not saying you specifically, but generally, encompassing all of us.

I didn't go to nuke school like they wanted when I was 18, so now I am I'm off to join the Pasty-White-GeekTroll corps. At 32 they oughtta make me a general...

I'm well acquainted with the use of a rail-gun, plasma rifle, and the BFG10k, so all I need to do is learn where the Iraqi spawn points are and I'll be a campin' madman. Lag could be a problem, though, the Chinese have laid a lot of fiber there lately. I figure their ping times will be pretty good. If i get lucky with the Quad Damage you should all be safe in no more than a couple days.

(and if I can't find the recruiter for the Space Marines (HUMILIATION!), I think I'll just make supper and then skin some more. I wish the check for my hosting would clear...)

on an almost-related-but-not-really note, i grabbed the demo of Unreal Tournament 2003 a few days ago...sweet...

sorry. after looking back on some of the posts i make, i feel the same way. like bakerstreet has said a million times...why don't we have an edit feature for our own posts?

i just got done reading back looking for your posts as a matter of fact, trying to find your reference to "other goals in my live than learning how to kill people" but couldn't see where you listed any of them(goals).

then again, i have "been there, done that" as far as serving during wartime, and it irks the hell out of me when people assume they can enjoy their freedoms without a cost and ask "can't we all just get along" like a college professor who has just gotten off the bong.

i admit i suck in a debate/discussion. i get my feathers ruffled quick and tend to pounce first, forgetting to ask questions period. so again, no offense moshi, or anyone else i pissed off.

i thinnk i'll stop posting on this thread so ya'll don't think i'm attacking you and you can go on with yer discussions. enjoy

It used to be just the military who were really in harm's way because the oceans insulated us. Now uninvolved civilians are in harm's way, and all they had to do to get there was go to the office to work.
BTW m, during all the years I trained in the military my life's goal was to prevent war. Second highest goal was to stay alive. Third highest goal was to have a family and a life. As far as goals go, killing people never made the list.

we all do , moshi. Thank you.

(wow... no one is posting... *ahem*)

Yeah, well, you guys, are... a, um, bunch of hippies... or something... and, and you're, like, wrong, and stuff...

ha, take that...

Hey we can't forget something here guys. Why didn't Bush Sr. just take out Saddam a long time ago? Was it really just a dumb mistake like we all think? Or was it for a purpose? It's possilbe that Bush used Saddam as a wet blanket on Iraq's economy. He's totally screwing it up and keeping Iraq from becoming a world power. Is this such a bad thing? As long as we can keep his nuclear toys away, we should be fine, right? That doesn't do much for the Iraqi people, but if they want a new leader, they can do it for themselves like the US did back in the Revolutionary war.
I'm just here to discuss, not get personal. Skinning is about creating, so lets create some ideas in a friendly atmosphere. Arrighty?
