Lucky... 0 #27 September 18, 2008 ME: See the bombing of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, slavery and the very taking of this country for more, long-term moral flubs, it's not just the last 6 years. Scooby: You sound guilt ridden. I wasn't around then, why I be guilty? Genius. __________________________________ ME: That's because the military indust complex doesn't want to win, winning means the ATM is closed. SCOOBY: What a ridiculous statement. Winning could also mean more money for advanced projects. You missed the point, a long, sustained war is more profitable for the military industrial complexers, so a quick win means they have to go make a new enemy to fight....a long war is better for business. _________________________________ ME: Yea, Taiwan works due to honor, has no one realized thay honor is bought and sold here? SCOOBY: Another ridiculous statement. Have you ever worked in the financial area? Nope, do you think honor is present in America, esp the fiscal sector?

chuteless 1 #30 September 18, 2008 Since the 2nd world war ( which in reality is the same war as the 1st world war ) the United States of America has been run by the most immoral government of all time. One can even go back to the early 1800s, and find a willingness to kill others,... native Indians for example, wholesale slaughter, hate towards negros, wholesale slavery ( no pun intended), starting wars in far off lands for nothing more than profits,..and this evil course where Americans feel the need of having the means of killing someone...whether with reason or not, still prevails.It is one of the most evil societies on earth. Your nation is not only "broke" it is broken....and it is on a slippery slope to extinction. The USA people have allowed this to take place....turning a blind eye to rampant corruption, sick twisted laws,.... the American dream is built on overflowing GREED....and get what you can anyway you can, and to hell with the other people. You keep saying " God Bless America " and yet you have taken God out of America. He cannot be found in the schools, the courts, and many governmment buildings, for fear of hurting some foreigner's feelings. Therefore....suffer the wrath of God, who is showing it time and time again, with flood, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires , and every other thing you call the force of " Mother Nature"... God punished Israel more than 2500 years ago, and their punishment continued right up until He allowed them to have their own nation ( May 15 1948) Why would He not hold America accountable??? You cannot even give God credit where it is due....why would He ever bless America? I cannot think of one reason. He did so for many years...is was His wish that you should be Israel's protector, but all that will soon end. It was indicated in Revelation Chapter 12. What you have sown...you are now reaping.

skydyvr 0 #37 September 18, 2008 QuoteBTW...got a new Apocolypse timeline for us yet? The self-proclaimed representitive of the loving God remains silent on this question, which I ask every chance I get. The latest self-titled "prophesy" has the US "ceasing to exist" around Sep '09. As bad as Ike was, I'd bet my bottom dollar Chuteless is extremely disappointed the death count was so low. Imagine that -- a self-proclaimed follower and prophet of a loving God hoping . . . praying . . for the death and destruction of millions of people. This is what we've seen in Chuteless for years. I wonder how many potential new Christians the man has permanently turned off with his laughable and self-serving antics. . . =(_8^(1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. We keep him out of schools and courts because not every person has the same religion. The law should be founded on pragmatism, not religion.

Can't even win after all these years in Iraq; and that was supposed to be an easy one. (3) Financially. CHECK. See the last severals days on Wall Street. Anglosaxon-style capitalism has proven itself unworkable. Feel free to discuss. Delving back into history, and knowing you're German - Any members of your family serve in the Nazi Party?
