General Hawley's speech - Page 18

I wasn't talking back to him, I was kinda bored so I thought I would throw in a comment about chaos. You can continually repeat the same actions hoping for a different result and not be crazy. We are trying to beat it into your head that you are an idiot, and we are hoping for a different result, so maybe we are all insane.

Yeah, I know. But since he repeatedly claimed to be above insults unless insulted first, I chose to stay with the idea of it being merely a joke and play along.

Technically yes, but I only see it as a first strike. pre-emptive I see as them completely blindsiding them from left field, like if Canada were to attack Turkey and rename it Chicken.

As for there being so many people in the states that didn't protest, as you can tell I'm against it, and I thought it was too cold to go outside, lol. I don't think walking on the street with a sign would accomplish that much anyways.

What I'd LIKE to see, is reverse protesting for once. WTF is that called, otesting? detesting? amatuertesting? Well whatever, I think everyone who supports the war, and supports Bush, should go out and march with signs of approval.

We like when people speak their minds. As long as people are intelligent about it, we don't care if you agree with us on everything. Besides, if you agreed with all the members on everything, you would have to believe everything, since we have conservatives, liberals, and one who is "apparently socialist" among us.

I wouldn't mess with Turkey.... Gravy and Mashed Potatoes have thier back, and you do not want to mess with those two.

SilentCacophony · 2003-02-21, 10:18 PM

Yes you are all insane, but your the kind of guy I'd want on my side Saint (pity you've already allied with the NC). I don't want people who'll whine that there's no way they can get into a base and just give up, I want brain dead morons like you who'll keep hitting their head on that wall until you get in there.

The 6th Commandment of SpecWar is:

Thou hast not to like it - thou hast just to do it

That was a quick humor to see if I could settle this thread. Can we just call it a draw?? Please I just want this war to stop

Saint · 2003-02-21, 10:20 PM

I am actually not a brain dead moron, I am a self-proclaimed genious.

SilentCacophony · 2003-02-21, 10:21 PM

Who's the socialist? This guy looks pretty social

arty:

SilentCacophony · 2003-02-21, 10:24 PM

Damn, my first attempt at one of the other smiley faces and it backfired. Now I know why the colon wasn't there

Please tell me you misspelled genius on purpose, cause that makes it funny. Otherwise it makes you look dumb. Example:

"I am so smart, S-M-R-T, I mean S-M-A-R-T"
-Homer

That's funny

Lexington_Steele · 2003-02-21, 10:28 PM

Well I see that there is onyl one side in this argument and that is the flaming side. I am bowing out of this one:

Saint · 2003-02-21, 10:28 PM

Yes you jackass I spelled genius wrong on purpose. Now please can we just end this now? I hate wars.

SilentCacophony · 2003-02-21, 10:28 PM

As for ending this, if you ask me it's already ended. These kinds of arguments don't end. It's an argument of opinions, and your opinion isn't going to change mine, and vice versa. Sure some facts were involved, (and NO, I still don't feel Japan was given a chance to surrender, nor do I even feel the first A-Bomb was even necessary), but other than that, it's always been about our opinions.

Me = against war, them = for war. Me+them = Forum war, in which case I guess I lost

But U.S. still hasn't gone at Iraq, so in the meantime, I'm winning.

Pre-emptive merely means "marked by the seizing of the initiative." Anything that is done that dictates where and how the war is fought is pre-emptive. If the US attacks first, it will determine how and where the war is fought, not Saddam. This in itself makes any strike by the US pre-emptive.

Didn't you state that you are Canadian?? Why should the US officials care if you protested or not since you're not a citizen?? I'm sure there were people that stated home because it was cold or whatever, but even if the numbers were tem times higher, the percentage of the population would still be less than 0.5%. (My numbers were incorrect earlier. 100,000 is closer to 0.05%, not 0.5%.)

I don't, in all honesty, see the point in reverse protesting. If you agree with the way a politician operates, you reelect them. It's a simple process. You can send them letters if you like, which is what I think you should do when you don't like things also. Nothing persuades people more than standing around yelling bad slogans, let me tell you.
