lawrocket 3 #26 October 8, 2007 QuoteQuoteI usually dont say anything in these forums however I am laughing at all of you people bash Bush. I only have one question, what are you doing to protect the safety of our nation and your family and neighbors? Trying to make sure that our country doesn't repeat mistakes that have made my nation and family less safe. No, you are bashing Bush. It adds very little to merely "bash Bush." It's easy to merely bash, bitch, complain, etc. Why go through the effort to discuss his policies when you can merely say, "Bush is an idiot?" Why put thought and support into your issues when you can say, "Bush sucks?" I think that it is a mistake to bitch bitch bitch without offering proposed solutions that may be workable. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #27 October 8, 2007 QuoteI think that it is a mistake to bitch bitch bitch without offering proposed solutions that may be workable. bitching without helping makes some people relax - when enough do this, it relieves stress on a segment of society while only elevating it on smaller portion of society. the net effect is longer (average) life spans - thus a drain on the economy due to additional load on old age benefits However, proposing solutions may correct a problem - thus relieving stress on a much HIGHER level. This could, conceivably "break the bank" NO THANKS - I'll take bitching and not helping and try to SAVE my country - not your recommendation to destroy our revered American way of life. ...

You must be thinking of someone else. "Bashing Bush" as you describe it does nothing towards achieving what I stated as my goal. In fact, saying things like that detract from the argument. And I have indeed offered solutions, all of which start with accountability. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

idrankwhat 0 #33 October 8, 2007 Quote How is your family less safe? More people hate us, and have reason to. Fewer people on the planet call us "allies". Our biggest challenge to world peace and a major source of ill will against the US, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, has been actively ignored. Our children have been burdened with a huge financial liability. Our military has been weakened. And in spite of the increased threat from abroad our greatest vulnerability, our ports, are still not secure or even close to being secure. That's a few on the short list. Some others include things like government sanctioned poisoning of our bodies and our environment and energy policies that give rise to the problems that I listed above. Quote What are you doing to remedy that situation? Not enough. But mostly being as vocal as possible in electronic and written print in an effort to point out where I see problems/solutions. The day job consists more of analyzing the extent of the poisoning of the natural systems in my State as well as trying to illuminate the impact that industry has on local and federal health policy. Oh, and I'm (hopefully) raising two boys to think critically and for themselves and to get as broad an education as possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radioactive material from our nuclear weapons development and production has contaminated ground and surface waters in various parts of our country. This poses an increased risk to the potentially exposed populations. I'm helping clean up these materials before people eat/drink them. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

jenfly00 0 #39 October 9, 2007 Quote Do you notice how much this is like what Dubya does in his speeches about the terrorist threats? He's got his viewpoint and those detractors just don't get it. It's not HIS problem that we all dont' understand where he's coming from. He's got his beliefs. From your posts, that is apparently quite all right. Perhaps it is a sign of hope that former active Bush supporters are now reduced to attacking the literary style of their leader's critics. When I start leading the govt in shitting on the constitution, feel free (in your TV news, alliterative style) to 'Junk Jen'. It's not that you didn't 'get' my rape metaphor, it merely annoyed you. Wrapping your annoyance in the banners of "intellectual honesty and character" is a bit of a hoot, don't you think? ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

lawrocket 3 #40 October 9, 2007 Oh, it's a hoot alright. Hilarious the way that some people lay massacre upon others. Indeed, my post literally and figuratively, I guess. I am not in the least bit scared to mash posters into a pulp, or to have their eyes gouged out, and their elbows broken. To have their kneecaps split, and their bodies burned away, and their limbs all hacked and mangled, all those posters. Their heads smashed in and hearts cut out, and their livesr removed, and their bowels unplugged, and their nostrils raped and their bottoms burned off and thier penises... Yes, it's what I do.
