Take it easy on W
The Saddam trying to kill Bush thing is because after the Gulf War, Saddam sponsered a failed assassignation attempt on Bush Sr. while he was in the Middle East. (I think Saudi Arabia, not sure)
80s and 90s aren't that boring, really.

It's really easy to blame all of the United State's problems on the current president, but it's really a lot more complicated than that. I know you hear about how horrible W is from teachers (can you say teacher's unions - which are always in support of the democrats) and biased news articles, but consider what he's really done.
"He hasn't done a thing"
Back up that statement.
What do you mean, anyways? What could he have done? Bush was already tougher on terrorism than Clinton ever was.
"People say he's special because he's going after terrorism"
Who said that? I haven't heard that used to explain his "specialness"
A lot of times domestic problems in other countries are just blamed on the US and its current president.

I would like to quote a really great president,
"TO ANNOUNCE THAT THERE MUST BE NO CRITICISM OF THE PRESIDENT, OR THAT WE ARE TO STAND BY THE PRESIDENT, RIGHT OR WRONG, IS NOT ONLY UNPATRIOTIC AND SERVILE, BUT IS MORALLY TREASONABLE TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC." Theodore Roosevelt

There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France.
Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth?
One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices?
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend, that you comb through annals of history but not a single annal?
If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preacher praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? If you wrote a letter, perhaps you bote your tongue?
Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on parkways?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another.
Have you noticed that we talk about certain things only when they are absent? Have you ever seen a horseful carriage or a strapful gown? Met a sung hero or experienced requited love? Have you ever run into someone who was combobulated, gruntled, ruly or peccable? And where are all those people who ARE spring chickens or who would ACTUALLY hurt a fly?
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm clock goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn't a race at all). That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.
And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it.

you said that english is only confusing when stupid people make it confusing, that is actually quite wrong.
my best friend is university and he asked me to read his essay. each line was just impossible to understand because there were lack of pauses and sentences seemed to be 2 sided like "joe hit his head which hurt" which could either mean he hit his head then it hurt or he hit his head which hurt before he hit it.an example for pause:
"joe fell down the stairs his head hurt after that"
ignore the fact that the sentence ends with a preposition but look how the sentence has no pause, which makes it a bit hard to understand. my friend handed that in and got 76% on it, that is pretty **** good!
a guy i know who is from Israel doesn't have the best english in the world but everything he types is 100x as easy to understand than anything my university friend has written.

That’s like me saying the Queen is Puppet and is so out of touch with reality. Her Power to change the political outcome is limited to what servant washes her ***** that day. Or what about the Royal family that that has more problems with drugs, alcohol and sex than Jenna Jamison with the same amount of Political Clout!
Lets not even talk about Princess Dianna (rest in peace), what was the outcry for that? She raised $$ to destroy the Land Mines in Afghanistan -- that’s it!
I have never been prouder to be an American in my Life, and if you knew ANY of the facts surrounding President Bush- you would too. You are grasping for straws attacking him like that and it is Hilarious. I am sure that the Royal Family and the Queen are wonderful people who try very hard, but that is not how our Media portrays them.

[i]The assassination thing should have been understood for the warning that it was. [/B] Who, What, to Who? OH, it told me that -Radical Muslims- should DIE and have no idea what the Muslim religion is about! It is an inferior culture and way of life that has no place on this shrinking ecosystem we call Earth.
What pissed me off the most about the entire Muslim Community in the US is that they never spoke as one voice and spoke against 9/11. For that I may not forgive. I am also kinda pissed at all the 12-17 year olds in the UK for being so Jealous of the US-- but that is another thread! :-@ :t

how come every time i have an argument with people from the US, someone has to mention this? It just shows a lack of intelligence and proves that you have lost the argument.
"That’s like me saying the Queen is Puppet and is so out of touch with reality."
Of course she is, she is a figure-head, does nothing for the people and just wastes money, that's what our "Royal Family" is about, see, most of us DONT CARE about royalty any more, so when you make a comment like that, you are speaking the truth.

Jakk.. good thoughts.
In my opinion, so what if someone tried to kill a US president...
maybe they deserve it for all the people they've tried to kill.
As to the president being leader of the "free world", ive never heard so much Bullsh*t in all my life. Imagine a country where citizens consider themselves to be "free", while living in a closed dictatorship, where even thought is somewhat censored.
I mean, you wouldnt want to publicly speak out against the US government... otherwise you risk being arrested as a terrorist... and all these people according to Georgie boy are "Evil".

Rich always protecting the Rich and forgetting about the Poor's right to equal opportunities.
Our Lack of commitment towards our Schools and education
Our lack of dedication to the Police and the Law!
We only care about our Military when we are at war and we pay them ****.
Having Consistent policies for all American Citizens
The Affirmative Action Polices are pure Racism
MOST OF our Senators and House Of Reps have been convicted of a crime and should be fired!
The lack of Teamwork between the CIA and FBI and other Law enforcement groups sucks!
What about the ***** that happened with Korea back in 1994 when we gave them the BOMB--- Please - I have major issues with our Gov's policies
But the President and what he is doing I believe is Justified and is the right action to take! The US has enough F-ups w/o the Foreign Press making stuff up. I have a huge problem with the Disinformation that the foreign press pumps out! That type of animosity really is unjustified. I understand it cause Canada is the same way and they are as close to a brother as we can get, yet we still get hammered by their Socialistic/ Marxist Views!
Why not talk about what a 2-faced scumbag the PM of Germany is for Turning tail and blowing the President after being elected on a platform that crucified our views? OR France for Just Sucking and NEVER helping us! What about the UN, Does anyone care about what a Total Corrupt Joke the UN is? I hope it is broken-up after it's failing to act this time!
There is so much Material out there for you to monopolize on, and you pick one of the proudest icons of our nation-- President Bush!

9/11 gave george, at least in the eyes of the US people, a right to go hunt terrorists... and god bless trigger happy bush, he went after Osama and rightly so.. however having lost Osama (which lets be honest he has - for now), he found he STILL had the backing of those at home.. so what better.. we'll find some "terrorist" name, who everyone knows and i'll have a go at him, because as of now ppl arent minding me going around playing soldiers... hmmn - now lets see (flicks through fil-o-fax) OOOH!! SADDAM HUSSEIN!! everyones heard of him!!, he'll fit the bill perfectly...
And so George sets off to dig up something that wasnt entirely pout to bed several years ago... why people are shunning America is because they want nothing to do with something that, up until Cowboy George came along, was to be honest concerning no one.. they have no interest in what is essentially one of Georges Wargames, because their involvment with Iraq was one in the past, and there was no OUTSTANDIUNG threat...
Now George is saying - "Saddam - weapons of mass destruction ... blah blah blah" .. and everyone else is like.. So What?? We knew he had em before now, he's not throwing his weight abouyt.. why bother and upset the balance??
But oh no, George has got the approval of the ever lovin US peoples to go and bomb the livin s**t outta anyone possibly classifiable as a terrorist, and he's got public popularity (well - in the US) and he's gonna do all he can to keep it... but does he have the nads to go and do it all by his lonesome... no.. although he has said he will.. why has he not yet?? Simple, the UN wont back him... all his posturing and its ground to a halt because (thank god) world leaders other then Ghengis Bush and Tony the t*t Blair have had the sense to say - no we dont want anything to do with it... i never thought id say this, but thank god for the French and Germans

1.Saddam now has Weapons of Mass Destruction and he uses them freely
2. The head of his Nuclear Weapons Dept had defected to the US and told us about Saddam Developing Nukes.
3. The US and the World is not able to take on Saddam even if they wanted too.
4. HE has broken the agreement he made 11 years ago with the UN- which saved his ***** at the end of the war.
5.The UN is Corrupt, Useless and I hope the US backs out of it.
6. Saddam Sponsors Terrorism financially and is a safe harbor for them.
6. He murders, rapes, and tortures his people. Why don't those people deserve Freedom? Cause a 17 year old in the UK does not like President Bush?

To protect the world like we always do?
hahaha, to protect the world? I'm sorry, but i burst out laughing as soon as i saw this. You make no sense in your sentences. It is only a 'War On Terrorism' because Georgie-Boy said so, I could just as well re-name it:
'Bombing countries and not specific targets, even with our laser-guided bombs, for the fun of it.'
This is like what happened in Afghanistan:
'Oops, i have just hit a Post-Office in St.Petersburg instead of the Talibani HQ, ah well.'
Of course that is made up, but 'your' bombers missed their targets so badly.
Anyway.
Me and Big Jakk are two different people.
I want to live in the US when i'm older, but i would NEVER call it my DREAM, and there is no-way-in-hell i would ever sing along to your anthem or patriotic ****, cos I'm not like that.
Jakk's dream is.. well, i don't know what Jakk's dream is.
"1.Saddam now has Weapons of Mass Destruction and he uses them freely"
Really? Not to stick up for SADdam, but when did he use them, in the last 5 years? Yeah, you'll get back to me on that one then?
"3. The US and the World is not able to take on Saddam even if they wanted too."
So the US is not part of the world anymore? yeah, i always thought you people were big-headed ********.
"6. He murders, rapes, and tortures his people. Why don't those people deserve Freedom? Cause a 17 year old in the UK does not like President Bush?"
I'm not going to mention your seriously bad maths, but Jakk is not stopping anyone from creating WW3. And President BUSH isnt the only world leader capable of stopping Saddam, our SAS could take the B*D out, i just don't know why they don't.
"protect the world like we always do..."
HAHAHAHHAAHA, you sound like a child!
"protect the world like we always do..."
ROFL, sorry i just cannot stop laughing about this..
"protect the world like we always do...".

Muahahah - it would corrupt your mind ...
Now - on a more satirical note...
'Oops, i have just hit a Post-Office in St.Petersburg instead of the Talibani HQ, ah well.'
Come come - the US couldnt hit a donkeys *** with an ICBM - thats why the carpet bomb everything :p
Really? Not to stick up for SADdam, but when did he use them, in the last 5 years?
Yeah, please, give an example of this, as im unaware of it...
So the US is not part of the world anymore? yeah, i always thought you people were big-headed
What do you mean THOUGH!!
Jakk is not stopping anyone from creating WW3.
Nope im not... i would if i could though
"protect the world like we always do..."
Well if its that big a problem for you Strat - you have my permission to go and Emigrate to... Mars perhaps?

this thread is way too long.
And Strat1 has hit the nail on the head, in both the intellect in which his argument has been presented and the use of fact rather than adolescent straw-man-ad-hominem fallacy from the younger brits in this thread. I wish we had more people of the caliber, knowledge and clear-minded thinking which Strat1 has provided us with.
I love reading threads where you have one side of the argument rational and thought provoking and on the other side...well, you have fear-uncertainty-doubt-threat-misinterpretation-ad-hok-post-hok-slippery-slope-head-up-the-anal-crevice 'arguments'. I'd tell them to shut up or call them names, but I consider myself open-minded enough to just let them show their bias. I once heard a quote saying "open mouth, remove all doubt" as to the level of confidence we place upon a person. Well, the mouths have opened, and clarity arrived.

I feel like I am teaching Ray Charles to Drive -- Forget it. We Disagree-
I will ask this again since I am the only one answering direct questions so far.

No, i don't hate Clinton.

anyways...
Clinton.. not a paticular fan of him at all... but hey at least he was getting blowjobs into middle age.. not many men can brag about that... bush snr, what i remember of him, again nothing i was too bothered about, Bush..apart from appearing a lil dopey (c'mon - you gotta admit he aint the sharpest of knifes in the cutelry drawer) and the Whole IRAQ thing, actually seems okay, as a bloke i mean.. i fully support him on osama and 9/11 and what not, just not his recent decisions...

Unfortuneatly, a lot of young people don't realize that the older and "in the box" thinking people are the ones at the controls. You got to learn how to play the game and not look like you're "out of the box" and step on people's toes.
The ironic thing is that when someone gets older and they still hold strong to their principles from younger years, everyone just looks at that person as reliving those days. Never taking that person seriously.

Honestly, there are so many points about this post i could make, but you know what, i am not even going to bother.
There is NO POINT in carrying on with this argument:
1)I am sick of your PATHETIC english, my 11 year old brother can spell better than you.
2)You side-step answers/questions, this post is an example.
3)You are too patriotic, there is no way i can convince you that i am right, with or without facts.
4)You keep acting as if you know more because you are older. Get real, i would say you are 20-25. Stop trying to act as if you are 60+.
5)You act as if you are better than me or jakk, once again i say get real, look outside, read our posts. Sheesh.

Why am I a fool?
What the Hell is so hard about telling my why I am a fool.
I will even get you started...
1 . Cause I believe in the President's recent decisions about IRAQ?
2. Cause I am an American
3. Cause I believe the UN is should be disbanded?
4. Here is a Freebee -Cause if Saddam decides to Nuke anyone-- we are much closer!
And lets not say, cause he is dumb, or cause he is foolish, stupid ...... like all your schoolyard fights.
I do think it is great that many people from foreign countries have all this great intelligence from your media about the president that we don't!
