Okay so you're just s chronic malcontent! You and Amy doing Lost Prairie this year? JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

I am a soveriegn state, I answer to nobody, fuck them, I'm on the top of the fodd chain, I do as I please and the rest of the world can tremble at my approach.....gotta go...my wifes coming. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Oh yeah? Call us when you need us to bail you out again limey. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

I'm in. I do hereby declare war on junk mail and telemarketers. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Well there is one thing California doe not have going for it! Whatta crock. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

You call that picture??? If you read the forum rules you will see that it is required that all females from Denmark must submit a full frontal nude for acceptance onto this website. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

If that shit is true, we are the dumbest fuckers ever to walk the Earth. I'm still not convinced that there is not a connection between Hussien and Bin Laden, or between Hussien and other terrosits organizations that would attack us....but again, not the issue here. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Of course you are from Switzerland, should have checked your profile. I guess you guys can hold the rest of the world to higher ideal. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Again, this is not my personal feeling, but just an interpretation of human nature. Yes the U.S. looks for it's own interests. Every country does. Show me one country that doesn't think of it's own interests. And yes, if one country does what is in their best interests, yes somebody is going to get screwed. This is nothing new here in the history of mankind. We have not changed much in the last couple of thousand years. Being the most powerful country does not mean being a role model, it means they were the luckiest and came out on top, if WWII had ended differently and we were all speaking German...we'd all be complaing about those damn Nazis and there foreign policy. . Like anyone, anywhere...once you achieve that kind of state you are going to want to protect that. When the Brits were the bad asses on the block, did they throw flowers around and spread world peace? France? Italy? No they all took care of themselves first. So that means that sometimes the U.S. is going to things you don't like...just like any other country. Do not hold the U.S. to a higher standard than you hold your country to. It's called being hypocritcal. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

What is the spy looking for? The secret back door of the castle, that gets left open on Thursdays to let the cat out? If the spy sees no weapons, cool we don't invade. If he sees weapons, and sees a way to get them out in an easier manner for the U.S troops, I'm all for spies. All countries have them. Its a big game. Allies spying on each other even. The spies in Iraq are not going to see anything that the inspectors don't anyway. So the spies don't count as a reason for non-compliance, only a good bickering point for Iraq. If Iraq had a big concern over the death of their population, they would be complying with the terms..kind of like the might be doing now. I concede that if we supported the U.N. blindly 100%, and threatned to kill everyone who didn't that the U.N. would become a powerful force. The only way for true world peace is for ALL countries to turn their weapons in at the same time. That isn't going to happen. Besides then China would be the biggest superpower on population alone. That leaves peace through superior firepower. Which does not mean war, but the threat of it. Now we are back to the might makes right thing, which is wrong, but the way of the world anyway....and all this shit is making my head hurt. While I am all for world peace, I want my country safe and secure first. You and I want the same end result, we differ on the timing and tolerance. I am curious about the bio weapons thing. You said we supplied that to Iraq. When did we do that and how? Also Anthrax and such are some pretty low level shit for bioweapons. It's the stuff that Iraq may have gotten from Russia that bother me. And the fact that a bio lab can be set up in the back of a step van. Harriers ain't going to find a truck parked behind a 7/11. Bio shit is just too easy to hide. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

I'm not sure what kind of fight you're trying to pick here. But twisting words around doesn't change anything. What I said was pretty easy to grasp. 1) No I didn't say economic or military power is reason for us to do whatever we want. I said that in regards to our involvement with the U.N. we are no better or worse than any other country. Get over it. Where is it written that we are the saints? 2) Based on my logic, yes Britiain had the right to destroy us. They owned us in their minds. The fact that we had sufficient military might let us write that history differently didn't it? 3) Germany thought might made right as well. I didn't say it was personal philosphy, but it is a fact that throught history countries with power have used it for their own ends. 4) Be a real leader??? We are. If you think the U.S. is some evil empire and you don't agree with it...move. Show me one other country that does the good in the world that the U.S. does. The U.S. is going to do what is in our best interests. If they didn't you'd really have something to complain about. The U.S. does play nice with the rest of the world. We negotiate, trade, bribe and do all the things that all the other world powers do to take care of themselves. But we have never invaded another country for the purpose of taking it over. Unless of course you want to change this discussion to the American Indians. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

It's not so much as a matter of who has the power or in what magnitude, but who do you trust with that power? I'm not saying that anyone should or should not be trusted with it. If ANYONE uses it however it is easier to use biological agents: easier to smuggle and transport, easier to not have traced back to you..etc. Bio weapons scare me a lot more than nuclear. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

It would be nice wouldn't it? JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Reminds me of the old Johnny Carson episode with Zsa Zsa Gabor. As she sits there witha persian on her lap she asks Johnny,"Would you like to pet my pussy?" To which Johnny replies," Sure, move the cat!" JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Alright! Much congratulations. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

BWAHAHAHAHA. ROFLMAO!! JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Yeah Billy I heard the news this morning that the inspectors were hesitantly optimistic. They may be on to something...but to quote Harvey Keitel,"Let's not start sucking each others dicks just yet." I hope it works out. On all the other suff...your wrong, stop blowing smoke up my ass! HAHAHAHAHAHAH The Cold War arms build up only prevented us from going heads up with the Soviets. We still sparred with them in Viet Nam. Plus, neither we nor the Soviets were losers in the war. A more apt comparison would have been Germany building up weapons. Do you think the Soviets would have tolerated Germany behaving like this for 10 years? Finland was on the wrong side of WWII. As part of their surrender, to this day they are not allowed to have submarines. We don't seem to have a hard time with Finland? Now in current times, the Finns and Russians may not love each other, but they do trade and travel in each others countries. Iraq doesn't need to trust anybody, they just have to comply. That is the bitch about being the loser in a war. You lose complaining rights....cause you lost. It don't matter how many Iraqis were killed (and we didn't kill all of them, we had help), because none of them would have died if they hadn't of started the war in the first place. If you pick a fight and lose, you got NOTHING to complain about. Spies, you have to expect. You can complain about it...but if you are supposed to be disarming, than you have nothing to hide and the spy has nothing to report. It also doesn't matter what we reject or accept in the U.N., we are a free country like every other...acting in our best interests, just like all the rest. We just got more money. Do all the countries in the U.N. go along with everything? Are we the only problem child? And we did not lose a war and fail to make good on the surrender, Iraq did. Their feelings towards us, mistrust of us and our example set in other U.N. issues, in no way relieve them of their obligation. We did not commit the crime. We are not being punished. I'm all for the inspections and hope everything works out. But if Iraq starts stalling and BS'ing again.....What do we do? Say oh you little tricksters you. Let's inspect again? And no matter how many we killed in the Gulf War, it don't excuse Iraq from their debt. And I hate to sound callous here, but I'd rather it be 100,000 dead Iraqis than an even split of 50,000 US, and 50,000 Iraqis. Iraq can be a real country anytime it wants. Accept their punishment, come out of their room and play nice with the other kids. Then they can start lying and cheating like civilized people. I agree with you, but I think you are being way to tolerant and lenient with Iraq. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

If true that is pretty fucked up. But what do you want to happen now? Let them channel cash back to Al Qafucka just cause they did with the IRA? Now it would be a double edged sword: We are either idiots for allowing it or idiots foe having double standards. Choose you poison. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

We can split the fine hairs forever. The problem is that we see things differently. The only place I see you being wrong is the time given Iraq to disarm. If resolutions are to be made, we need to see some results ASAP. It shouldn't take longer to disarm than it did to build the weapons in the first place. You are right that we have not exhausted all avenues, but Iraq ain't exactly giving us access to all the avenues either. We shouldn't have to fight to get them to live up to 100% of what they agreed to. My mortgage analogy is pretty accurate. If you default and make no feasible arrangements to comply or pacify those you owe to, you can expect a pretty swift settlement in their favor. In the paperwork you signed for the loan, the conditions were there. Same here. My problem in giving Iraq another 10 years to achieve their 300-way is that they are looking at all their avenues for building up more weapons to keep us out. They have stalled for a long time and possibly hidden things. They can continue to do so and pay lip service to the U.N. to keep us off their backs. Half way complying is not complying. You guys didn't do the 300 way as punishment for jumping through clouds, and nobody was going to ban skydiving in the U.S. if you failed to get the 300 way. Peace. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

If the bulk of funding of the IRA came from the US how did this happen? By people of Irish decent living here and being sympathetic to them? In Boston once I saw a charity box in a bar, like the ones in 7/11 for Jerry's Kids. But this one was to help the poor children in Ireland. I was later told that money placed into these boxes was channeled to the IRA. If so it was a misleading way to get cash from the American public. However I was unaware of official U.S. support of the IRA. Is this true? Please explain. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Do I get a prize?Really?? I hope its a new rig. Oh boy! When is the presentation of awards? JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

cute. and it does pretty much outline the finacial resaons for our concern in the area. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Whoa.....way too much to even consider. Seeing as I cannot change the mistakes I've made all I can do is try to set the future more to my liking..... You sound down. Hope you feel better soon. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Bravo dear Bill. You do give credit where it is due, even when it is to those you disagree with. You are a gentlemen and a scholar. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"
