Very nice.
No, we're not mercenaries. We just carry weapons and kill things for the joy of the experience.

Lemme get this straight - you stayed sober? and for something as trivial as a reason?
WAYSA???
yep, sometimes it seems like the options are "Be sober and miserable at the mess we have in the world" or "Be stoned, drunk and tripping ... the world won't be any better but you'll be stoned, drunk and tripping...."
LOL
And why not spend the 75 or so years you have on this planet in a chemically-induced haze? That's different from spending it in front of the teevee.
Somehow.

Shit costs money. If we spent all that money for the "noble causes" abroad everybody would complain about problems we need to take care of in America. If we took care of those problems people would complain about other shit that is "more" important. People are just bitches.Quote from: Xooxe on November 13, 2007, 08:56:02 AM
The soldiers which have been coming back even since day one are incurring huge costs for medical treatment. As far as I know, the American military is preventing the death of it's soldiers more than ever before due to technological advances in body armour and on-the-field medical treatment such as new agents which can instantly clot blood, preventing many fatal wounds. It's much cheaper to bring someone back in a body-bag.
You are a dumbass for more than the obvious reason in your post. People need shit just as much as other people produce shit. Thats what an economy is. People need shit, they buy things that other people make. If you dont make goods or offer services you are useless. Dead people cannot generate more money than a living person that could be put to work or provide entertainment. Or a wounded soldier can train other soldiers or some shit you are an ass.
Money is important, but why do you value it so much?

Kill yourself.
Seriously.

If we meat-sacks keep running around like we are, 15 more people won't matter when the shit hits the fan, anyway.
Um, 15/2, over 80% of the population. Call that 39 BILLION more people inside of 20 years.
And they won't speak English very well.
Nor will they hold our values dear.

Actually, the sure fire way to decrease the birth rate is to give everyone full bellies.
More assurances of family survival = less need to procreate like bunnies.

nice!
i especially like the third paragraph.
the last line, however true, is a bit anticlimactic compared to the rest of the writing, though. not because of its meaning but it kind of lacks the "punch in the face" style of the paragraphs before.

RIGHT NOW, there is an asshole sitting behind a big desk in Washington DC who has absolute power over your life. He can, with a lazy misguided stroke of his pen, sentence you to interminable imprisonment or worse. He can send a squad of goons to root through your stuff. He can send a lynch mob to deal with you if you're rocking to boat. He can nationalize your "local" National Guard and order a battalion of tanks to swarm your neighborhood. He can suspend legal government in favor of martial law. He can, without the approval of anyone but the voices in his head, say the magic words "state of emergency" and dissolve every last so-called "right" you think you have.
There is a corrupt system of bureaucracy running amok in the synapses of your country. The power it holds over you might never be wielded in such blatant displays of outright totalitarian bullshit, but that power exists nonetheless and it's out of your hands. There are, literally, millions of brainwashed gun-toting killing machines doing nothing but waiting for orders to storm your town and turn your neighborhood grocery store into an "enemy combatant processing center." There are entire fleets of planes and trains and boats idling somewhere, waiting for the green light to lock you up and cart you away. There are fully-functioning gulags operating in the silence of media blackout right now, and the only thing their prison blocks are missing is you.
Even if you have nothing to hide, even if you're a good doggie who'd never bark at a superior, even if you are an anonymous nobody with nothing to gain and everything to lose from even wanting to know why all of this is true; even if you are afraid of what might happen to your mind if you let yourself in on this; you should take the time to understand one simple fact. It may be that no one will ever come knocking on your door (or blasting through it) to take you and your family away from your "freedom;" but the fact remains that they might, and they can if they want to. And there is absolutely no one who is even going to try to stop them. If that day comes, there is no court who will ever hear your case. There are no citizens' groups who can act fast enough even to slow them down. You are on your own, and if you think waving a flag in their faces as they come swarming into your living room is going to ward them off like waving a cross at a vampire, you're going to be a casualty.
Normally, this is the part where we tell you, "So let's do this..." But we aren't sure what to do, either. There is no help.
