Innervision961 said:i'll make a few concessions here, bush may have had some good motives for going into iraq, but i believe he also did it for the wrong reasons to. The thing that gets me is, no pro bushie would say he did anything ANYTHING wrong, or at least i've yet to see it. Why be so defensive?
GhostValkyrie said:My father used to work for Halliburton. There are vast fields of capped oil wells here(Texas). They were capped off during the 80's because they weren't churnning out 500 barrels a day, per well. Think 500X90,000. We have plenty of oil to last for another decade or two...And, that is this one state alone. Anyway, once the Middle East is out of oil, we'll be okay. As I was telling people in the other political thread. I think one thing on the agenda is keeping our resources, while buying resources from other countries. Once they've ran out, we'll not only be safe, but even be damn near controlling the oil market.
Innervision, you're wrong. I'm quite sure there were hidden motives in Bush's reasons for the war. As to whether or not they were the only ones is another thing.
I think oil did play a role, but not the only one. Don't try and catagorize us as mindless animals. Please?
Innervision961 said:Well to be honest i welcome the oil dry up, do you realise how much closer to world peace we will be then?
GhostValkyrie said:You make me laugh. I doubt that would stop, or event help prevent, wars from occuring. Terrorists would still strike propserous nations, Dictators would still attempt genocide, etc.
Reasons why oil is not the cause of every war/conflict.
Bosnia
Slovakia
Somalia
WW2
WW1
Vietnam
The Korean War
The Cold War
Innervision961 said:I'm wrong how? And when did i call anyone a mindless animal, i asked an honest question. If I can take the bad with the good why can't you take the good with the bad?
Innervision961 said:Yeah those comments are way out of line, to resort to name calling just provokes more name calling, and so far this debate has been pretty civil. The pouncing has commenced I suppose, huh clarky?
I would like to reiterate what ghostvalk said, lets keep this civil because i'm enjoying the conversation
Innervision961 said:I'm just waiting for him to attempt to change the term limits so he doesn't have to be voted out if he wins this election I can see the headlines now.
Terror threat level: high, today President Bush signed into law the patriotic pre emptive presidentail homeland love security act allowing himself to stay in office until the end of the war on terror.
Clarky003 said:ill post tomorrow goto go sleep, dream of betterment of mankind, ,, I expect to see this debate go towards solutions people, its good that we are all aware of our future, our childrens future, and generations to come. I still hope we end up colonising mars, with brisk determination and no limit on resource with fabulous technologies, working with the planet. building the first star ships.... it not a fools dream,, it must be done.. to establish our creditability as essentially the most intelligent and intuitive thing that we ourselves have ever know.. night all
gh0st said:no one is pouncing, they are offering their points, take his "stfu bitch" comment with a grain of salt. oh woe is you, liberal martyr. a bad man is calling me names! this is exactly the philosophy of the left in this country. "oh you bad police shot this man because hes black!!". its all moaning from the left in this country. "no, disobey the elected president of this country for no reason other than your friends say its cool!".
you = stupid. that kind of stuff isnt even funny, because its just stupid, and inflamatory, and some asshole is going to believe it.
again this isnt on topic. WMD's = FOUND, ok? the "space race 2" issue can be discussed later or at least in a different place.
at this point we've entirely justified this war. there is no discussion left, ok?
waedoe said:exactly, my god how hard is it people, i mean my dick understands it and it doesnt even have a brain.
gh0st said:but it does have a head! HAHAHAHAHAHA. wow.
crabcakes66 said:ahh....kids that think they know everything.

Lil' Timmy said:hmm, i hardly think decade old left-over blister shellss from the iran-iraq war qualify as the mythical WMDs that so fully justify this war. hell, we knew they had those.. rumsfeld and regan knew they were using chemical weapons in the 80s. i'd be less than surprised if these old shells were developed from the $1.5 million worth of "pesticides" that Dow sold them during that war.
obviously, no one considered rusty left-overs from the i-i war to be the impending doom that would befall the whole world in about 45 minutes. aren't those the fanciful weapons that the more impulsive people where so concerned about when the case was made for this war? you can shoot mortar shells over the atlantic right??
i'd be happy to see actual WMDs found.. i'd also be rather shocked, but happy nonetheless.
waedoe said:well i belive ghostvalkyrie is the only one that should rly be able to comment since, hes acctually fighting for our freedom. hats off to valkyrie, im glad your willing to lay your life down, even if moron belittle our president and our combat forces. *SIGH* such a f'ed up world, why'd it have to come to this, well its all prophecy right valk u know what i talking about i assume
yes, only soldiers should be allowed to vote too, i think.waedoe said:well i belive ghostvalkyrie is the only one that should rly be able to comment since, hes acctually fighting for our freedom.
Wow....if thats the best you can come up with against his argument then ether...crabcakes66 said:ahh....kids that think they know everything.
He wasn't even arguing... just an observation...Tr0n said:Wow....if thats the best you can come up with against his argument then ether...
1. You can't come up with anything so you lost the argument
2.You don't know shit about all this politcal stuff and you keep arguing beca
Lil' Timmy said:yes, only soldiers should be allowed to vote too, i think.
Maybe I should make that my signature... I'm sure it'd get lots of laughs. :rolling:waedoe said:acctually we agree on something, if your not being starcastic. Soldiers are well disaplend(spelled badly, thanks to our school systems) and have more respect in general. This is why Isreal isnt so F'ed up everyone has to server atleast 1 to 2 years. any ways it would also help with obesity probs. the draft should be re enstated or atleast make it so u cant vote untill you join the military.
Oh sorry...i thought he posted some arguments...but i'm to lazy to check the other pages...so sorry i posted that crabs.Letters said:He wasn't even arguing... just an observation...
Lil' Timmy said:..oh, sorry waedoe.. i was being sarcastic. i thought it was obvious, considering my history on these forums. isreal huh? is isreal what you want the US to become? i find it funny that a conservative should be blaming his poor spelling on social ills. shouldn't you be talking about pulling yourself up by your boot straps and personal responsibility and whatnot? jeebus, what do you want a social program for the american tax-payer to pay for you to have better spelling?? SOCIALIST!!!
