One of yours being very logical and quite arguably objective; viewing the world and viewing the US as an influencing force. The other has an irrational and biased view; being unwilling to concede or accept facts that don't align with said biases. I'll let everyone else figure out which is which.Quote:

Or at least if found, it wouldnt be in a ready state.Quote:

I like the fact that it will force people to change from their wasteful ways than not. Cuz... eventually (whether accidentally or other) it will catch up to us. Rather be proactive than reactive and blame it on the Earth for deciding to kill us all, or GOD, or the next 2 Presidents for not thinking about our planet as a whole.
Bin Laden was also more of an issue than Saddam. Saddam wasnt even mentioned till Bin Laden's name was plastered all over the storyboards. Saddam was old and was minding his own damn business till we just decided to finally punish him for his wrongs after like 40yrs of him also sitting pretty in his house.Quote:

Thats really kinda backwards.Quote:

But, they wont let us just walts in there and take it.Quote:

The real world is what we all live in, i dont have to "look" very hard or listen to others. I want it to be better for my children and my future and our future. Not just a couple of people up top. But change is what we wanted, we had or still have a chance for that change to take effect. But now everyone's all scared and blaming each other again like middle-schoolers. We did this (or Bush, or Bin Laden or Saddam or the nicknamed insurgents) but somebody did it. May as well take it and fix it instead of blaming everyone else all the time.Quote:

Other than waiting for someone to scare us into change and using fear to get results.
^Well that didnt come out right... how to separate quotes...
EDIT: FUK YEA ALL CAPS
no he is so full of crap if they stuff him in there the leak will stop. and if we really want a back-up plan shove explosives up his but and before they detonate i would love to see him yell "dynomite" before they blow him up!!!! plan b is bill and hillary clinton, those big macs should really do the trick and even work as fish food too.Quote:

We wont even go into the fake science that comes from people with an agenda. Just look at the English researchers that got caught covering up data that didnt fit the hypothesis they wanted to sell.
Were you in Bush's corner while he was in office? No, you werent, so why should I be in the corner of a politician whose agenda goes against pretty much everything I want from govt?Quote:

Once again. Gore was granted the recount, but only as a statewide recount. Gore said no to that as he only wanted heavily democratic districts recounted.Quote:

It would work but they would have to study the Geology first to make sure it wouldn't just be full of fractures and cause a HUGE problem that would ruin the gulf FOREVER. There would not be radiation poisoning lol. I guarantee you they have had a team studying it all this time while they've been doing the whole relief well option and we'll never know. Leave no option unturned.
If they had to do it, i hope they do it where no one would know, except of course the USGS when they pick up a 3.5 Earthquake in the middle of the gulf lol.
Freakin full debate, WOOT!
When I get back to the internetz, I'll reply.
I'll keep an eye out for the tsunami warnings for Alabama and Mississippi.Quote:
