Metroplex
Well lately, my ethics teacher been saying that we are becoming too "Americanize". We become Too dependent on them. This is explaoned furthure in the french movie "Les Invasion Barbares"

Catch 22
America has the highest level of obecity in the world. I think the UK comes in a close second. sad

Omegaman
I love bush!

Kes
Are you being sarcastic?!huh

Omegaman
No, I do love bush.

Kes
Oh ok.No ofense but may I ask why?

Omegaman
Are we talking about the President?

Kes
Thats what I thought we were talking about.huh

Omegaman
Oh my bad!


But I do support Bush as my President. NOt the easiest job in the world you know! You will never have everyone happy! Overall I think he is doing a great job , considering all that has happened during his terms.

A better question( to me ) is , why dont you like him?

Kes
I think Iraq pretty much sums (sp) it up! erm

Metroplex
Why Do people hate Bush for the war in Iraq???????

Do you guys know what Saddam does to anyone who doesn't follow him??? He beats them, kills them, and shots them in prison. He even killed his own brother in law jsut cuz his brother in law didn't agree with his motives.

He even used chemical weapons against the Kurds(rebels). He lived like a king while he starved his people. So if you were living in Iraq, you would want people to attack Iraq wouldn;t you?

Omegaman
Really? So are you saying that IRaq should not have been invaded or that Bush is too blame for all the mistakes that happened! I think it was an pretty big success! NOw is it going to be easy to set up a new government , NO! But at least we are trying to help that country have a better way of life/government. At least they have the opportunity to have a say a vote for how their country will be run. Things have not gone perfect but that is due to some left over supporters of Saddam. I think the majority of the people of Iraq will appreciate what the US is ultimately trying to do!

Metroplex
I dont have anything against the War in Iraq. I,m saying that it was justified.

Omegaman
Good to know ya, metro!

Kes
I can answer your question in a way! Hope you understand. Portugal lived under a dictator long time ago. He arrested people who were against him, and all that. But if Spain had decided to invade portugal in order to liberat us (which was not what the U.S. was doing) I would have picked up a gun and started blowing spanish people up!
Its their country! their problem! look saddam was put in power by the U.S.! you guys just wanted oil. lots of people die because of that! And went against the ONU rules.
that atittude of either you're with me or against me is really lame.
You guys never had a war in your own country aside from the civil war. Europe has been destroied by 2!

Metroplex
hehehe

Kes
something funny?

Kes
I'm still waiting for the wepons of massive destroction.

princess leia
americans have braille on their drive thru atms.
case closed.

Metroplex
Did you know that Saddam could have destroyed it before the Americans attacked???? That way they could have made the Americans look guilty

Kes

Metroplex
Im not Americain.

Omegaman
SO leia, blind people cant have someone drive them to a ATM so they can use the ATM for themselves?? You know blind people have the same rights as everybody else! I think that shows we care here in the US!

Just so you know ! The reason that is really lies in that so lawyer probably sued to get it that way!

Metroplex
So what we Canadians have braille on our money. It helps the blind.

Omegaman
For what it matters , the UN believed same as US that Iraq had weapons of MD! Look it up!

Metroplex
Some things that i don't particularly like about America is that everybody can sue anybody over anything. Its a capitalist society. But i agree with Omega man. the Un did say that there were Weapons of mass destructio.

Saddam broke the peace treaty in 1991 where he had to disarm.

princess leia
on a drive thru atm? do how are these blind ppl meant to drive, then?

Kes
What threat did he posse? He had been quite for a long time! And destroy them before a war?!
That guy in North koreia says he has WMD and will use them and the Americans do nothing, Why?! Afraid to go against someone who can defende themselfs?!
Lets no go into this cause it will end badly.
Lets just drop it.
Great you defend him and you're not even american!

Metroplex
Becasue like i said before, Saddam broke a peace treaty.

Raz
I don't like where this thread is going. Closing...
