i did, he's an imbicile. bang on dude. vatican, no vatican, pope, no pope that dude is a real "class act" i saw another interview with the MTV host dude, can't remember his name, (last name houge??) but at least he came to the middle east to get some of what he referred to as to "09/11" generations views and ideas on the crises, and for this i respect him he is about 20 years old, educated, informed and articulated, maybe some of the crowd should tune in to his show, i wish i could, but i can't get it here. peace... --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

glad everything went well for her, and you as well. i was just coming back browsing the threads to check for an update, and it was here! here's to a speedy and complete recovery!

what's this? --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

LOL!

that's exactly the response i expected...

Go Here And Here And let's see who is in a mad dash to go to war. please take the time to research these links, especially the second one, it has some really good information at the bottom of the page in encarta formats. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

I want to dive from a jumpship that'll take me high enough to talk to God! --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

so when you flying over, my comments were intended as an invitation. i can have someone pick you up in Bahrain. (that's IF you've got the rocks) --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

now you have another "hook" to write a song about! --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

i musta missed something, did you wreck it, or did you twist the frame muddin? --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

Wendy: i know exactly how you feel. my best wishes for your brother and his family. anyone here who supports a war with iraq without consent of the UN without a "modified" agreement i say this: "come join these fine men, women and children here in the middle east when the bombs start falling" the US of A won't be a safe place at all unless we do this EXACTLY politically correct. and regardless, if we tear the freaking place up...remember...we're paying for everything to be put back together. at least we're supposed to, turkey's decision to not let us use their country was based largely on the fact we did not live up to our commitments to them from the gulf war. either way it's not going to be pretty, unless we just leave this one alone for a while. until the citizens of the usa come over here and stay in the desert for a while, learn the culture and the countries it's just a spot on the map, it has no face, no voice, as you all know, i'm in saudi now and it isn't any fun. i'm here right now, with the military based just to my west in Quatar, (and good ol' yemen to my south) and if they go, i'll probably go with them. did i mention the flights over here are "high stress?" --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

Twin Otter Super Otter Grand Caravan King Air T-BO Casa Bell 412 Hot Air Ballon Cessna C-182 & 206 i want to jump out of a jet one day! --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

thanks jraf, you saved me the trouble. as far as Quatar, we OWN it. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

that's priceless! as much as i love him, i'd run like hell if his stuttering ass was behind the controls of an armored vehichle!

that's sooooo wrong! LOL --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

59% will be drinking beer, 25% will be watching the speech when i came in. (that's when you know everyone wants to be informed by their commander and chief) i'll be watching, then i'm sure i'll go and hurl, or laugh hell maybe wind up crying. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

i didn't get to vote my selection wasn't there either. but i have 4 ranging in ages 25-19 --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

that would fall under gastrotechnical warfare!

i know how you feel. hope you alleviate the situation soon, having a constant nagging pain is an ugly cross to bear. good luck, take care. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

yeah, me either. hey, it would make the perfect murder weapon wouldn't it? you couldn't match the paintball to the gunbore! plus, no body would believe it...HAH! --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

i'm shocked! just a while back there was a big debate on how a "D" license made you a safer skydiver. now i see talk of bypassing the A B C, etc...sheesh. this discussion just shores up the point i was trying to make, the letter don't make a f*ck. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

i'm more concerned about paintball guns myself, they sell them to anybody you don't have to have a license or even be over 18. my son who is 23 now, showed me when he was 14 or 15 can'r really remember what a frozen paintball will do to a 55 gallon drum at 325 fps. i tripped. but back to the topic, i'll keep a steel umbrella handy just in case. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

before i even suggests this, i know your going to think i'm crazy. i had a pinched cyanic nerve that produced many of the symptoms you describe. i went for x-rays, and mri's and other tests to confirm the original diagnosis. i went to a chiropractor for two solid years, i was in a great deal of pain every day, i was literally dragging my right leg at times because of the stinging, burning sensation. at the time i had a vietamese (sp?) personal trainer for my gym workouts, he suggested to me for months that i seek out an acupuncturist, which he knew one (go figure, his name is Master Tim Kai-Lai) i had the x-ray results in a concealed brown letter envelope, which he had never seen. after a few questions, and touching and poking me here and there his diagnosis matched the radialogists, i freaked out. to make a long story short, he said he could help, if not cure my pain in no more than 7 visits, it took 2. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

it is also noteworthy that there are a lot of arabic people in our country, no they don't like what has heppened, no one does. sooner or later the violence should end, better sooner than later. there are extremists in every country, culture and nationality, let's not forget our "brother in arms" Timoth McVey, and the ever goofy "David Koresh" no one's right, and everybody is wrong. (did i just say that?) --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

i'm not inferring we ignore iraq either, but i am in the mind that we need UN approval. if russia, france, germany, belguim et al isn't concerned about them we shouldn't be either. the reason the european countries do not want a war is because their homefronts have borne the brunt of battle for too long now. sadaam needs dealing with, but the arabic people do not react positively when confronted in a threatning manner. as i've said, this shouldn't even be an issue, it should have been dealt with, and incidents that lead us down this path could have been avoided. what is the answer? i don't know, if i did i'd be the richest man on earth. but i do believe if we attack iraq and try to eradicate sadaam from his country we will all pay, sooner or later, flying transatlantic isn't any fun now, i'd have to quit if we do go in iraq, it's not safe now. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"
