"May I please be the first to suggest a BalloonGuy/Muck, You Suckers ticket for '08? It's can't possibly be much worse than the soon-to-be Clinton/Obama ticket. "outstanding...i would vote for a homeless man with a dead dog for a running mate before Clinton, we already had 8 years of her pulling strings for her gutless husband...most of the prblems that bush has had to deal with in the middle east are from 8 years of slick willie ignoring them...not that Bush has handled them all that well

I take it Balloon guy is homeless and I'm the dead dog. That's okay, I've been called worse. Do we get to have poker on the airplane? If we won could we beat up Bill Frist, send Pelosi to Uganda, and poke Ted Kennedy with a stick?

If you make the Pelosi and Kennedy things your top priorities...you can have whatever you damn well want. No empty promises though, please see to it that you do your best to follow through on those.

Your idiot people don't infringe on rights? Britain has one of the highest violent crime rates in the world. Your crime rate is well over and above that in the U.S. You are so full of BS. I am asouthern american and I will sleep well tonight knowing that I have the right to protect my home. My government didn't take our guns from us and take away our right to protect ourselves. Your government did and ever since your crime rate has been on the rise. In my opinion you have a whole country of stupid people and we never should have saved your ignorant @$$e$ from Hitler.

In my opinion, the bolded text comes close to the dumbest things I've ever heard. I support your freedom to have a gun... but do you not listen to those mad mothers and police officers who keep telling you that you are less safe with a gun in your home? Give me all the stories you want of how lil' Jim Bob saved his family from 'dem evil intruders that wur trying to keel his family, but it still doesn't change the facts.And then telling Britain that they have a whole country of stupid people... wow... that's just ignorant.To whoever the guy from Britain was, I'm sorry... here is a good representation of our country's "dumb". I would rather have the dumb Brits then the dumb Americans any day of the week.

Don't apologize for me you clueless crackhead. Britain is in the midst of a modern all time high crime wave. There is a reason. You didn't see him deny it did you? You aren't nobody to apologize for anyone. Just another misinformed idiot.

Misinformed idiot?Yeah, that's because I, actually, said something about the crime-wave in Britain in my original post regarding you ... oh wait.............................................

Studies indicate that firearms are used more than 2 million times a year for personal protection, and that the presence of a firearm, without a shot being fired, prevents crime in many instances. Find out more at www.nra.orgOh wait, can I trust a website that has an agenda to be accurate in thier reporting?Only if they are environmentalist that want to outlaw cars?

You know.......It's really a shame. Here you are a 20 year old snot nosed punk trying to show how smart you are. You run your mouth to men over twice your age that have children your age like you are something special. But we know you're not. Your parents didn't teach you any better, so maybe it's not your fault. But right now in Iraq and Aghanistan there are 18 and 19 year olds that are more of a man than you'll ever be. While they go out everyday and do a job you could never do because you are too weak, you sit at home and spend your time ranting about things you don't even understand. Someone can run down your country to your face and you don't have the courage or honor bred into you to defend. You side with people like that worthless Brit because you can relate to him running down the U.S. because that's what you do. You're not worth argueing with. You are just another screwed up punk with an attitude and probably still mooching off your parents. I seen the post you made in that liberal topic about who you are and what you believe, like anyone gives a crap who you are and what you are. I know what you really are, and deep down you do to. Your blown up feelings of self-importance won't get you through life.

I'm sorry that you're past your times, old man. I'm sorry that you can't learn to accept the fact that people twice your age are more then twice as smart as you are. I'm sorry that you're ignorant feelings of pride, courage, honor, etc (whatever the hell you call it) have landed you in front of this computer getting into a discussion with me. I'm sorry that your stupidity makes you raise every military man or woman to a level that a common deity is revered. I'm sorry that people as ignorant as you continue to help in RUNNING DOWN THIS FINE COUNTRY AND LEAVING MY GENERATION WITH THIS CRAP TO DEAL WITH.Thank you for standing up to a government that has turned this country into the powerless shithole it is today. I am so excited that I get to deal with a government that has as much control over a country as an average socialist society.... I bet you love that... comparing America to an average socialist society... Let's see what stupidity you show towards them, too.Basically, thank you for being an ignorant idiot all of your life and screwing it up for the rest of us.Did you get all of your sad little emotions in the computer? Do you feel more prideful that you've stood up for your country against little disgusting punks like me? Are your wrong, incorrect, hypocritical, idiotic views of life satisfied after slamming me "oh so woefully" bad?The more crap I have to hear out of mouths like yours light my fire to fight for what I think is right just that much harder. Maybe if you would have actually read my post in the "liberal topic" you might learn a thing or two about our country other then propaganda party line **** that runs your life.God, if you had any idea how disgusting you are... what a waste of space in a society

Poor Daniel. He claims to believe in God in his blog, and what does he get? Neo-Con after Neo-Con spamming up his forum with purile gibberish. The only thing that Daniel has in common with the rest of you God-fearing, super-conservatives is that he is a man of religious conviction. He is a liberal in many other ways; his blog makes that clear. I get the impression that there are a lot of very non-liberal posters around here. Daniel would be disgusted.And balloon man, Bush may have stopped the Iraqis from burning their oil fields, but how you can then go on to say that he 'saved the environment' is utterly ridiculous. Read Daniel's blog. Bush and the current American administration are part of the environmental crisis that the planet is facing. It is the Bush administration's lack of understanding concerning this problem that is stopping any real environmental reform from taking place in America. Your comments are so incredibly short-sighted and ill-informed, you should be embarrassed by your complete lack of understanding concerning the matter. I hope Daniel comes in here and tells you wackos to go and talk your nonsense elsewhere.

There is no enviromental crisis,only normal courses of nature. We cannot stop nature. Don't believe the hype.

Unfortunately, this view is typical of the American outlook. If it weren't so tragic it'd be slightly amusing. I take it you think Daniel Negreanu is victim of the 'hype' as well?btw, all this talk of Britain being in the cusp of an unprecedented crime-wave which is far and away worse than what's going on in America is amusing. Here are some statistics from BBC news, which have to be included in this silly discussion:Washington DC has come top in a poll of the world's murder capitals.A survey conducted by the UK Home Office of 20 European and nine North American cities put the US capital way out in front with a murder rate of 69.3 per 100,000 population.That suggests Washington is about 170 times more dangerous than the Belgian capital, Brussels, which came bottom with 0.4 murders per 100,000.Washington was a long way ahead of the second most murderous city, Philadelphia, which had a rate of 27.4.The nine American cities in the survey all came in the top 12 of the poll. San Diego had the lowest rate with 8 homicides per 100,000.Only three European cities came out worse.Dangerous cityMoscow, contending with the rise of the Russian mafia after the collapse of the Soviet Union, was the most dangerous European city in the survey with 18.1 killings per 100,000. Helsinki and Lisbon also ranked highly.London came fifth from bottom with an average of 2.1 cases of murder, infanticide or manslaughter per 100,000.Belfast was the most dangerous UK city in the survey with a death rate of 4.4. Edinburgh's figure was 2.4.The UK Home Secretary, Jack Straw, said it was one league table in which the UK was happy to fall near the bottom.He said: "Few people would have guessed that both Amsterdam (7.7) and Lisbon (9.7) have murder rates over three times higher than that of London."Moreover despite the impact of zero tolerance policies, New York City's homicide rate - at 16.8 - is eight times London's."If you managed to read all of that, Muck, You Suckers! (which would be remarkable), you will have noticed that your little theory regarding Britain being so full of violent crime is complete and utter nonsense. Note that nine of the top twelve most murderous cities were in America. Do some research before you spout such gibberish.

Thankfully he didn't simply abuse me, but also made some inaccurate statements concerning the level of crime here in Britain, allowing me to completely and utterly debunk his fallacious ramblings with a quick google (always a good tactic against the mentally challenged). But yeah, telling him to just go away isn't a bad tactic either.

The earth has been through thousands of changes over the course of thousands of years, all natural occurences. Species come and go,climates change in incriments,and the cycle continues. What humans do has some effect,but not nearly the effect that is currently being portrayed. WE ARE NOT THAT SIGNIFICANT. Seriously. That's all I have to say,because I realize going into this that it will be akin to arguing with a 5 year old about the boogie man,once he is convinced that the boogie man exists. It's a waste of my time.

I can't believe I've never explored this area of the forums before. Same names, different topics. It's like the Religion Forum on Crack.Although less philosophically oriented.Either way, I'm in.
