America is giving $15 Billion away to help people, what a great chance to attack America. I am convinced that the only reason Bush is supplying the funds is for political benefit. Does that mean it should not be done? (I’ll let you figure that out.)
America should disarm, what a great idea. People wont attack us if we have no military. What a concept, maybe if I keep my car unlocked people will quit steeling cars.
I may be sounding sarcastic, but come on, what kind of foolish statement is this? This is another attempt to attack America and blame it for all the ills of the world. Again I don’t care why Americans are hated any more then why the Jews are hated. Again a poster trying to support hate, or the people that hate. Since when is hate acceptable, and the victims of hate the problem?
Quick trivia, one of the most powerful influences for getting so many Germans to hate the Jews is because they were so successful. Many were upper class, or rich. Why do so many hate Americans? Cause we are the richest country in the world. This jealousy has been a secret tool for centuries to control and manipulate the masses. Political parties are using this in America right now. “Raise taxes on the rich, you are not rich so it won’t affect you.” “Cut taxes? It only helps the rich.” Nobody catches the fact that these statements are actually manipulative hate against a group of people.
I am not saying that the rich should be given more rights then anyone else, but why should they have fewer rights, or be treated worse? Anyone heard of the attempt for a worldwide tax on anyone who is rich? What was the definition of rich? Anyone making over $10,000 a year.
About the “good guy, bad guy” shit, come on now. I laugh that anyone is taking this seriously. To me it is just a little razzing. A little smoke blown up people’s butts. My daughter use to go into teen chat rooms and start giving people shit trying to see how quickly she could get people to get pissed off and leave. When I found out about this, I sat her down and… Ok, I started helping. (What a great parental influence I am.) The friend she had staying overnight laughed her ass off at what I came up with, and they loved the fact that I could get people to start flying out of the chat rooms.
(Back one step) Many people don’t realize that our military bases actually support the economies of a few countries. These people will protest our military, and then get upset if we propose moving our military out of their countries.
I go to bed every night knowing that there are nukes pointed at this country. Does anybody know that Yeltsin almost sent Nukes into America by mistake? (A rocket test launch they were supposed to know about was mistaken for an American first strike.) Probably the closest we have ever been to a nuclear war. (Less then a minute and they stopped the launch.)
Another trivia question. What American president almost negotiated away nuclear weapons with the USSR? …Regan. (He was very upset it didn’t go beyond a little humor. Neither side took the next step.)
(And back to the start) A member of the United States military (I don’t know which branch) died of some mysterious disease in the 1940’s. A sample of his blood was kept in storage, and when retested was found that he had Aids.
Aids is a terrible disease, but it is not the worst. It does not have as high of a risk of being spread as other diseases. If it were an airborne disease, almost everyone in the world would have it. And with the long gestation period it could have infected everyone before it was even well known. Only those immune to Aids would most likely be the remaining population on Earth. (Yes, there are those who cannot get Aids. They have been studied.)
Final trivia. Respiratory illness (flu, pneumonia, etc) kills more Americans then any other disease currently. (I don’t know the world wide stats, but I would think it is the same.)
Kuri: As far as total dollars go we are at the top. I think we were second to Japan, but went back up to the top in government aid given to other countries in recent years. It is only about half of what it was during the cold war. (And not adjusted for inflation.)
And finally Roy: (Now that I have again typed a novel.) Holy Blood, Holy Grail, and, The Legacy of Christ. Are these the books about theory that the “Holy Grail” is actually a secret word for Bloodline? And that Jesus did not die, but fled to France (or what is now France), after the crucifixion, and had children?
