THIS is why we're intervening in Libya

That was a joke. I don't typically post using "motherfucker" and the like; it's not a word I use regularly anywhere.

I'll make sure to highlight jokes in the future, to avoid these sorts of ruffled feathers.

Smilies help a lot to clarify things that need interpretation...

Seraph, I'm aware that the Texas School Board makes stupid decisions. I just find it funny the pretense online that it only happens there.

Awright, first I'm puzzled why that should be bothersome, since your info doesn't describe you as a Texan.
I'm wondering where the impression comes from that an online conspiracy exists that it only happens in Texas, I seem to recall a hell of a lot of noise about the KANSAS state school board!
Plus, as already pointed out, as the Texas school books go, so go the nation's schools books.
So, why the hypersensitivity on the topic???

But it is well known and documented that Saddam set up literally thousands of bank accounts into which he placed money stolen from the Iraqi people.

One month after the invasion of Iraq, the United States began airlifting planeloads of cash to Baghdad. Between April 2003 and June 2004, a total of $12 billion dollars of US currency was shipped to Iraq where it was to be dispensed by the Coalition Provisional Authority for reconstruction. To date, at least $9 billion dollars cannot be accounted for.

Who did the US steal that money from?

I made a point this guy just ignored it and threw up straw men, I can't discuss shit with people who want to give me my argument and then just ignore everything I say.

Why don't you stop posturing for once? Do you think it makes your case stronger to do that?"You argument crashed and burned 5 pages ago, wah, wah, wah make the bad man go away"? Stop crying Honestly. Just saying something does not make it true, no matter how many times you repeat it?

Seth is a self confessed Troll, and a self admitted liar.

I may lead conversations astray for my own nefarious purposes and personal enjoyment.

I may argue from diametrically opposed viewpoints.

There's not much point in debating someone with no ethics and an admitted Troll. The agenda is to get under your skin, and he wins when you get riled. As the saying goes, "Don't feed the Troll", or else just mock and laugh at his inane rants of right wingnut half truths.

I'm glad I have your help in building Mt Irrelevancy this fine Sunday morning.

Let me make amends. Here we go. A thread dedicated to discussing Texans.

You're a gentleman and a scholar. No amends are needed, though; nothing was put awry.

[Thumpalumpacus]

Your point is? Lifestyle brag? I'm impressed.

My point is that one can travel using these modes of travel from Texas to California. I didn't think it was that unobvious in the context of your previous post. My apologies for not spelling everything out.

I'll leave you to it, and if you want me to leave then its probably best if you stop talking to me isn't it.

I don't want you to leave, I'm having far too much fun watching you shriek and throw feces at the glass.

Saudi Arabia is a treaty partner and ally.

Uh, weren't most of the 9/11 hijackers Saudis?

Great partners and allies, huh!

Wasn't the ussr an ally at one time?

Indeed, against Hitler and the Axis.

So seth, would you have been anti-ussr before and during the war?

Likely so. The alliance with the USSR during and immediately prior to WWII was an uneasy one at best, and many in the US understood the dangers of Soviet Communism and objected to that alliance, but it was a matter of necessity. And, of course, the USSR betrayed that alliance by making agreements with Hitler about division of Eastern Europe should Hitler prevail.

It wasn't until after WWII that the Soviet Union accelerated its imperialistic practices in an attempt to spread Soviet communism worldwide, at which point it became an enemy.

And would you have been a "pre-mature anti-fascist" as well?

There's only one certainty in politics: everything changes constantly. Our allies today may be our enemies tomorrow, and vice versa. So what? That's the nature of international geopolitics.

You mean you are having far too much fun backpeddling and trying to foist of your mad lies at people?

Good luck with that.

I can see why they banned you over at RS, I don't agree with it but your conversational style is to just shout louder and louder and ignore people until they just give up.

Its all you've got isn't all you ever had, neocon lies and ad homs. America can do no wrong because of the vast apologetics movement, that are its gullible fools. George Bernard Shaw as right democracy ensures only that you get the government you deserve and people like you deserve every fucked up moronic clown you get. Some people never fucking learn.

So you want to argue about the treaty you signed and then failed to abide by again, or about all the other fucked up shit your idiot presidents have signed off on, or do you just want to pretend it is not true?

Yeah, they were a bunch of petty, small-minded, self-important, humorless Netwits too.

You get what you give. If you don't like what you get, look in the mirror.

I like what I see someone with moral integrity who doesn't lie about history and make apologetic nonsensical statements to hide under a hill o' cognitive dissonance, his own shame at his own nations fuck ups.

What do you see when you look deeply into the mirror and see your countries lies and war crimes, does it make you proud? Because it fucking shouldn't that's why they are called lies and or war crimes, you're meant to express some guilt for them not just brush them under the carpet and pretend your shit doesn't stink. That is not healthy. Lessons from history, if people like you are still voting then you are doomed to repeat them and live another 60 years indulging in one international fuck up after another like some gormless world clown.

I bet you though America: World Police was a documentary.

Is that the George Bernard Shaw who was a racist eugenicist compatriot of racist eugenicist Margaret Sanger and who believed that everyone should have to appear before a board every seven years or so to justify their existence, and if they didn't meet the approval of the board would be killed? That George Bernard Shaw?

Evil fucker indeed, and unsurprising that you would reside in his camp.

So you want to argue about the treaty you signed and then failed to abide by again, or about all the other fucked up shit your idiot presidents have signed off on, or do you just want to pretend it is not true?

Depends on the treaty. We're only obliged to abide by a treaty if the other side hasn't violated it. And we're not obliged to abide by a treaty that damages our nation, our national interests, or our sovereignty if we have the military might to repudiate it with impunity, as happens to be the case.

Interestingly, the United States has never been convicted of a "war crime." Which makes your judgment somewhat less than compelling and your opinion somewhat less than interesting. As I said, we have the might, we make the right. You don't like it, tough shit.
