Although many of them are politcaly misguided

most of them are pretty A OK in my book (although I get the sneaking suspicion that I am not Mr V's favorite person).

Everyone wants to be loved by BOHICA.

I think he was implying a gay joke.

You guys have female members? If so, is there a glass ceiling for their rank advancement?

Navaron · 2003-02-21, 10:00 PM

Not yet. Well...Dio...nahh. Not yet.

You mean like electing a Bush and going after Iraq every 10 years?

Awww, Saint, I'm crushed, lmao. It's so nice that I'm going to have all of you coming for me, it's going to save me a lot of travel time. What I don't understand is why you quoted what I said about BOHICA, you're not Bohica.

Comeon guys, you have to give silent some kind of points for that one. That was comedy gold.

Wow Navaron, you're not as dumb as incompetent looks.

Incompetent · 2003-02-21, 10:05 PM

mayhaps, because BOHICA is a respected outfit with kickass members (even if they let tobias in, damn vanu j/k <3 you tobias)

Saint · 2003-02-21, 10:05 PM

I am a BOHICA follower and everyone in BOHICA 0wnz j00.

Continually repeating the same actions hoping for a different result [is] insanity

That is not always true, sometimes if you repeat the same action looking for a different result you are looking for chaos patterns. No matter how solid a physics law seems there is always that one instant of chaos that can throw off the whole thing.

Awww, that's so cute. You're like a little kid following his older brother around, who doesn't really want you anywhere near him. I had guys like you following my clan around. I just blocked them. Course I guess if you like it when they grab you by the shoulders and whisper BOHICA in your ear....

Saint · 2003-02-21, 10:10 PM

Ummm I just have a lot of respect for everyone in the clan and I would be honored if I were nominated to be in BOHICA.

Lol, well if they all left, and they haven't attacked as of yet, then I've won right?
On top of that, the UN hasn't given them the go ahead, France anf Germany are sleeping together, Canada is opposed (so no, you can't have our three warships), people are protesting all over, and if anything is going to happen, we're just going to get more inspectors in there.

Let me grab this since I feel left out. Uh.. no. Last man standing rules only count when you're the last man standing. And you know that you are the last man standing when the thread disappears off the first page with your post being the last one.
I believe that the US is only waiting for the UN to give them the go ahead for two reasons. One is that it simply makes the US look better in the world's view if they have it. Two is because Blair told his country's citizen's that he would not send troops to war without either a UN resolution or an irresponsible veto of one.

People keep pointing out the 100,000 protesters. There are over 260 million people in the US. The protesters are less that 0.5% of the population. I'm very glad the leaders of the country are not allowing themselves to be persuaded by that small of a percentage.

From a military point of view, I've always felt the U.S. should just go ahead and attack, since they've claimed they were going to with the support of the UN or not, right? What is the point of talking about a pre-emptive strike for a year? That's not very "pre-emptive" is it?

Actually, anytime one side strikes before the other does, it is pre-emptive. So the US could wait until an hour before Saddam finally got the weapons and opportunity to attack and their attack would still be pre-emptive.

Damn, you're talking back to one of your BOHICA idols and taking my side? That's like an act of treason, is it not? Hmmm, maybe you're coming to the dark side.....
