What the F*** are you talking about now ?
If you are talking about who I think you are, I can tell you I have not talken to her in months either. I think last around Christmas as a matter of fact. Linn, if you are going to accuse me of all friends you lose/have lost, please check first if I know them, ok? It is EXTREMELY rude to say I have caused someone to lose her/his job, lost friends, lost contact to child. Did it ever occur to you that maybe YOU caused it ? Did you even ever consider that if she has changed, it might have nothing to do with EITHER of us ? If I would be a rude person I would tell you to go fuck yourself now, but since I am nice. I can only say I am deeply hurt for such accusation.

Well we agree on one thing for sure. There should be speedy trials
and then death for rapists and murders. People who do those crimes seldom change. Here we take way too long to make sure people are guilty . The common good of the people is at risk from our waiting for years to go to trial. So many times we have repeat offenders so far we never had that from anyone in the grave. Count I am not sure where you live. I would like to know. I know we have people here from ever that is though. We have to watch our borders to keep people from coming in not getting out. This is wonderful country full of loving and giving people. Yes we have our troubles too but we are big enough to try to change and vote on those issues. Tell us a little about the history of your country and why you have this distain for the US. Thanks to the internet the freedom to speak is growing world wide. The old party lines don't work anymore everyone wants a voice and with that comes the cost of learning what is true. [View Quote] count draculaJun 29, 2004, 1:54am
I live in Finland, I agree that trials should be fast, but I cannot totally
agree on hard punishment and especially deathpenalty ( could be an option for someone to choose instead of life ). The main problem with deathpenalty is that one would need to be 100% sure the person is guilty, now and then they let people out of jail, that they have found out actually was innocent; how would one even try to correct a mistake if the person is dead? I belive that bad treatment in jail just make the persons more bad. The reason why people become criminals in the first place ( when talking about violence) is most likely the lack of empathy and love when growing up. I agree that many people go back to jail, and seems like helpless cases, but then again, some people learn and become respected citizens later; if only given a chance. By labeling an ex-prisoner so that he cannot get a job, he easily goes into crime again. One quite good method that has been used here also, is like "part time jail". people go there for the night but go to work daytime, this way they learn the basics of how society works. They get a better selfrespect and most of all learn to respect others. When it is time to become free, they already have a job and the basic in life, which quite often helps then stay on the legal side in life. I do not hate America and americans, I just highly dislike the current goverment you have and all what it stand for.; disrespect for others, lies and agressivity. I do not care what americans do within their borders, but as soon as they step outside and start invading countries, mistreating prisoners in camps ( who has not even had a trial), I think it is my duty as a humanist to dislike it. I know people try to get into your country illegal, on the other hand you need them. If all illegal immigrants would suddenly move out, your economy would be shaken quite badly. I used to hate the Soviet Union, but it fall apart, so now it is USA and the Europen Union I have to dislike; I just cannot stand imperialism.

That also there are those people who will never change. They are born killers. Why? I don't know but some people are born evil and have no chance to change. I don't know why this is. I only know that we as a civilized race can not allow this to be in our midst. There is always a chance when you have a death plenty that someone may be innocent and still be killed. It is sad but true. These all have to be weighed against the cost of being kept in prison and also the risk to others. I know it is a common thing to say "If one innocent life is lost we must not do it". It sounds good but that is not the way the world works. 1000s of people each year are killed by riding horses and cars , yet we still do it. We have to count the lose and gains in all things. So it is with war also. You don't seem to like President Bush yet he has been in office in one of our most perilous times . He has faced 911 and many other things. This man has been honest and strong, unlike our last one who lied, was dishonest, and dishonored the office with his abuse of privilege. We disagree on that I am sure. Terrorist s effect the whole world and perhaps some people want to stick their heads in the sand much like we did in past wars until our lands were bombed . If we failed ever, it was not stepping in and stopping Hitler early on. Perhaps you disagree. I am not sure. I fought in Vietnam. I never killed or mistreated one person there. I gave paper and pencil to the kids in the villages. I helped them whenever I could to learn to read. One thing I took from there is freedom has to be fought for or it cannot last. We have given another country yet another chance to stand on its own . Now they have to decide if that is worth the cost to fight and defend. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CD I do not care what Americans do within their borders, but as soon as they > step outside and start invading countries, mistreating prisoners in camps > ( who has not even had a trial), I think it is my duty as a humanist to > dislike it. >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- - We have yet to retain any land taken in war. We helped to re build Germany and Japan . We don't take over countries for ourselves. I think we should really but we do not. When we move out, others will move in and take the oil and try again to dominate. That is my fear anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CD I know people try to get into your country illegally, on the other hand you > need them.

I think it would be very good for us to work at the lower paid jobs. It would help our country. I am not saying that other people who come here only take lower paid jobs. Many come here at high wages but for the most part they take lower paying jobs. Just like all of our ancestors who came here .. We all started at the bottom and worked hard to gain a foothold. The Germans, the Irish, even the Fins . ------------------------------------------------------------- CD I used to hate the Soviet Union, but it fall apart, so now it is USA and the European Union I have to dislike; I just cannot stand imperialism. --------------------------------------------------------------- Count, you don't have to hate anyone. But if you must, hate those that would take your freedom away and kill you for the color of your skin. Those that would kill you because you worked hard and have more. Those that would sneak in and blow up your cities for no reason. Those that answer to no country but only want to destroy and tear down. That my friend is not the USA . sweJun 29, 2004, 3:02pm
ok emm, no one is born evil, just doesn't happen. that XXX chromoson thing
or whatever in serial killers, it's most probably all bullshit. People act in certain ways because of past experiences, everything has an effect on everything else. If you drow up in a house were you learn that beating up people or stealing is alright, then that is what leads to killing. It's all about how you were raised, and the people you grew up with, and the situations you are faced with. no one is truely evil, they just grew up in a certain way. -SWE [View Quote] bodhitahJun 29, 2004, 4:12pm
Bro you said...
"So it is with war also. You don't seem to like President Bush yet he has been in office in one of our most perilous times . He has faced 911 and many other things. This man has been honest and strong, unlike our last one who lied, was dishonest, and dishonored the office with his abuse of privilege. We disagree on that I am sure." First off understand this...I too am a Vietnam vet and an American. Now if you believe that George W. Bush is an honest and strong man you are very much misinformed. Yes the previous President lied about getting oral sex while on the government payroll, but it never cost one American soldier his life. Never had an impact on your taxes or freedoms that you enjoy. Bush's lies have cost us almost 1000 lives of our soldiers in Iraq, not to mention the almost 10,000 lives of Iraqis, a fair number of which were women, children and old people. This war costs American taxpayers $1543.00 per SECOND. Are you getting Veteran's benefits? Then you should know that George W. Bush has cut our benefits by 15 Billion dollars without telling us. Then you say... "Terrorist s effect the whole world and perhaps some people want to stick their heads in the sand much like we did in past wars until our lands were bombed . If we failed ever, it was not stepping in and stopping Hitler early on." The Bush adminstration is very adept at creating paranoia, fear and terror in the American people. The whole Terror threat level color coding is laughable and absurd. The Bushies created this whole thing to keep people afraid of leading their normal lives. Anyone that buys into that kind of propanganda is a sad human being. Did you know that Bush's Grandfather, Prescott, did banking business with Germany's Nazi party before and during the war? Then you said... "I fought in Vietnam. I never killed or mistreated one person there." If you didn't kill one person there, you didn't fight, you stood around and watched. If I took bullet wounds and grenade shrapnel because you didn't kill someone, you better not ever show your face to me. Then it's... "One thing I took from there is freedom has to be fought for or it cannot last." It only lasted in Vietnam until we left. The same will happen in Iraq. The last point I will address...you said... "We have given another country yet another chance to stand on its own . Now they have to decide if that is worth the cost to fight and defend." They were standing on their own before we invaded. Yes Saddam was a bad, evil man. A bad evil man that Reagan and Bush Sr., Rumsfeld and Cheney gave Chemical weapons to and trained his people to use them back in the 80's. The U.S. has supported many bad, evil men in Central and South America. The Phillipines and the Baltic states. Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. Israel and South Africa. Americans that are ignorant of our foreign policies should educate themselves and "get their heads out of the sand" a Final note....See "Farenheit 911" count draculaJun 29, 2004, 4:16pm
Yes, I can see we obviusly disagree on many points, and I do respect your
views and I am hapyy that the matters can be discussed civilized without flaming. I guess the problem with your method is , how do we know who was born evil and who did just made a mistake they honestly regret? I know people get killed in accidents, but I do not think it is fair to compare it to that. I just think we should not accept that people get killed accidentaly due to our legal system. Yes I do not like Bush, on that we agree. I do not know where you have been when they recently published a memo where Rumsfield had aproven abuse in jails for example. The coalition has been in Iraq for quite a while now and yet has no mass-destruction weapons been found ( that was one reason for war). No evidence of Saddam Hussein supporting Al-Quaida has neither been found ( another reason for war). Do you honestly think all is well now in Iraq? To me it looks more chaotic than ever. Earlier a "western" person could travel to middle east, now it seems if you have pink skin you will most likely be killed. What people do not seem to understand with this war is, that it is the best commecial for terrorist organizations ever. It has never been this easy to recrute new members.

#1 I don't think almost 2 years in country and driving over 1/2
million miles with my back side bleeding hauling ammo of all types is standing around. Yes I fired a m16 on line many times did I see my bullet hit another person no!. Yes I too was wounded in a fire fight big deal I am not dead like some of my friends. You say Clinton never caused any lives to be lost. Hog wash how could you know that. Perhaps his weak inaction cost all the lives in !!. Much like Carter who sit and wanted to reason with terrorists. You want look at made up crap from Moore feel free to waste your money and time.

Ahhh excuse me... I'm so sorry that you had to spend a measly 2 years in
country. Even sorrier you spent almost the entire time driving. There was no driving to where I spent most of my nearly 4 years. Although I'm glad you were there to make sure we all had ammo. now to politics... It would do me no good to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person, so I'll save you the defeat by retreating. uninformed people do more damage to elections and democratic process than terrorists. btw Michael Moore's movie contains 100% verifiable facts...do not take the word of some talking head on Fox News...see it for yourself |
