    :p Yep, I've finally touched on something you'd understand! Like I've posted many times before, I don't start shit; I FINISH IT. Angel took it upon herself to jump onto the anti-American bashing party, and I responded appropriately. Nobody's going to get a free pass at denigrading my country. And I was correct in stating that foreigners have no voice in our policies, elections, or elected officials. I have no right to tell other nations who to elect as their Presidents or Prime Ministers (and I shouldn't.)

    As for the Elizabeth Edwards cancer announcement, many have questioned the timing, yet you choose to focus on me. I've never been a shrinking violet, and I never will be. Conspiracy theorists thrive on stories like hers, searching for a political angle. And it is a game that all parties play.


    Good try with the magic, 'David'. You're almost (not quite) as good as Ford.


    BUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!

        That would be a fair argument if the US still had an isolationist foreign policy.

        If you elect a government that wanders about the world fucking things up for the rest of us then we're gonna say so.

        Cheers!

          :p Oh, please, Sesh! You honestly think Dubya's scary? You don't buy that 'Hitler' crap, do you?

          Is my "Bootyshots" thread going to be intact when DDLR gets back up and running? This is more important to me than this political yahooing back and forth.

            Except for Iraq, Venezuela, Vietnam, Italy, Chile, and a dozen or so other governments, elections, and countries in which we have attempted to alter the outcome of the election or install a puppet gov't via military coup. You are quite clearly wrong on that one.


            As for the Elizabeth Edwards cancer announcement, many have questioned the timing, yet you choose to focus on me. I've never been a shrinking violet, and I never will be. Conspiracy theorists thrive on stories like hers, searching for a political angle. And it is a game that all parties play.

            You seemed rather callous and giddy about her cancer which I found offensive, regardless of the timing. In her situation you and most other people would have done the same thing. By the way, why did Condi wait to announce she was having surgery until after her promotion? Is she an "attention whore" too?

            Good try with the magic, 'David'. You're almost (not quite) as good as Ford.
            And you're right! "Me Wise Magic."

            Ford's the master. I don't have to be as good as him to make sense.



            BUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! Indeed!

              Yeah your bootyshots thread is fine.

              Of course Dubya's scary. Anyone that goes about starting wars and kidnapping people holding them without trial with a big fucking army to back them up is scary.

              Somewhere along the line I'm afraid your government no longer became seen as the 'good guys'.

              Cheers!

                I honestly wonder sometimes if many people know what has been done in their name over the years...

                That goes for the UK and France too of course.

                    There's a freeway 8 lanes wide
                    White concrete ringed around the city
                    For those who want inside
                    Get on get off
                    Ignore everything to the sides
                    In your midst I drive
                    While homeboys in the back of the van make drugs

                    Wanna hide something like a crack lab
                    Just put it in plain sight
                    Only stop to refuel and unload
                    More poison to tear more lives apart
                    Gang wars like never before
                    Better lock your doors, buy some guns
                    And pray for martial law

                    On the Washington D.C. Beltway
                    Around and around I go
                    In the black van with no windows
                    And a chimney puffing smoke
                    Bloody headlines in the news each day
                    Drug "crisis" everywhere
                    So much comes in so easy
                    It's as though someone wants it there

                    It would be a little obvious
                    To fence off all the slums
                    Hand out machine guns
                    to the poor in the projects
                    And watch 'em kill each other off
                    A more subtle genocide is when
                    The only hope for the young
                    Is to join the Army and slowly die
                    Wall Street or Crack Dealer Avenue
                    The last roads left to the American Dream

                    Wall Street or Crack Dealer Avenue
                    Wall Street or Crack Dealer Avenue
                    Only one road leads to this neighborhood
                    Little kids wanna sell drugs when they grow up

                    The folks might get just a little upset
                    If they knew where that dope comes from
                    From Colombia to the Contras
                    To our Air Force bases, where we trade it for guns
                    The moral equivilent of a serial killer
                    And his CIA friends
                    Call the shots from the White House
                    But now that we own the media too
                    Those stories just aren't run


                    On the Washington D.C. Beltway, 'round and 'round I go
                    In a black van with no windows, and a chimney puffing smoke
                    Same gang that ran smack in Viet Nam
                    Ain't got no reason to fear
                    Just get a Vice President so dumb
                    The crook at the top never gets impeached

                    That sure was easy wasn't it?
                    That sure was easy wasn't it?
                    More crack-more panic-more cops-more jails

                    You see emergency-total war
                    You see emergency-total war
                    You see a black face-you see a crackhead
                    You see a black face-you see a crackhead
                    You see a black face-you see Willie Horton with a knife
                    You see Willie Horton with a knife

                    You see one Willie Horton you've seen them all

                    They're everywhere, I know
                    You asked for it, you've got it
                    Drug suspects have no rights at all
                    Property seized and sold before trial
                    Labor camps-on American soil?!?
                    Neo-Nazi bootboys
                    That the cops never seem to arrest
                    Prowl neighborhoods with baseball bats
                    Why now? Why do they get so much press...?

                    Mein Kampf-the mini series
                    Ollie North-"patriotic" hero
                    The leader for tomorrow is yours today
                    Finally gotcha psyched for a police state

                    On the Washington D.C. Beltway
                    Around and around I go
                    In a black van with no windows
                    And a chimney puffing smoke
                    My van's a mobile oven now
                    That burns the bodies you never see
                    Just like in Chile or Guatemala
                    People just seem to disappear

                    Just like Rome
                    We fell asleep when we got spoiled
                    Ignore human rights in the rest of the world
                    Ya might just lose your own

                    As the noose of narco-militarism
                    Tightens 'round your necks

                    We worry about burning flags
                    And pee in jars at work
                    To keep our jobs

                    But if someone came for you one night
                    And dragged you away
                    do you really think your neighbors
                    Would even care....

                    Ollie for president, he'll get things done!!!
                    Ollie for president, he'll get things done!!!
                    Ollie for president, he'll get things done!!!
                    If you listen to what rock stars say, your party's in trouble.

                    Why just ask Springsteen, Mellencamp and Matthews!

                          :p That goes for ANY nation. Noone's blameless. The only difference is the attention is focused on the US's activities. This country's less than 230 years old. Countries in your region of the world have committed atrocities longer than our government's been in existence.

                          I don't agree with everything that's going on, but comparing President Bush to Hitler is way off base.

                              Besides, these are the lyrics I have listening to lately:

                              GREEN DAY

                              -Holiday-

                              Hear the sound of the falling rain,
                              Coming down like an Armageddon flame,
                              The shame,
                              The ones who died without a name,
                              Hear the dogs howling out of key,
                              To a hymn called "Faith and Misery",
                              And bleed,
                              the company lost the war today

                              I beg to dream and differ,
                              From the hollow lies,
                              This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
                              On Holiday

                              Hear the drum pounding out of time,
                              Another protester has crossed the line,
                              To find the money's on the other side,
                              Can I get another Amen?(AMEN)
                              There's a flag wrapped around the score of men,
                              A gag,
                              A plastic bag on a monument

                              I beg to dream and differ,
                              From the hollow lies,
                              This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
                              On Holiday

                              The representative from California has the floor

                              Zieg Heil to the president gas, man,
                              Bombs away is your punishment,
                              Pulverize the Eiffel towers,
                              Who criticize your government,
                              Bang, Bang goes the broken glass, man,
                              Kill all the fags that don't agree,
                              Trials by fire setting fire,
                              Is not a way that's meant for me,
                              Just cause,
                              Just cause because we're outlaws, yeah!

                              I beg to dream and differ,
                              From the hollow lies,
                              This is the dawning of the rest of our lives,I beg to dream and differ,
                              From the hollow lies,
                              This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

                              This is our lives on holiday
