2 x 2 = ? Is it too complicated?
Calum:
last night i saw a 2 hour documentary about the iraq situation.
there were representatives from many countries there, certainly from all countries who have expressed a specific opinion. the german was coherent and interesting, so was the frenchman. the two scots were very coherent and astute, the three english guys, while i thought they were condescending and had incorrect opinions, were very articulate and well thought out, the guy from india was communicative and intelligent, and the guy from iraq was sensible and well spoken too. Only the US representative resorted to namecalling and poopooed other countries' efforts, dredging up incidents from each of their histories about how bad they all were and how they had sold equipment to iraq and were all as bad as each other et c.
As the french representative pointed out in reply however we all know which nation has sold the most weapons to iraq and which nation buys the most oil from iraq when it comes down to it.
the bottom line, americans are very very quick to point the finger, i mean just look at the post above, but they are very very poor at taking the simple criticism that most of us take on board, consider and use to improve ourselves. perhaps this means americans are behind the rest of us when it comes to self improvement, perhaps not.

its about 3am here and someone in a chat channel just told me to turn on the news cause we just started bombing iraq, but my cable's down. I don't believe it (they were probably screwing with me), but it sure would be weird if it were true.

Nah, they were screwing with you but you propably know that already. However, at this point Iraq's bombardment is inevitable. What seems to be stalling this whole operation is the denial of the French and Germans to contribute to these absurdities. Thank God Europe started finding its own voice!
LorKorub:
Perhaps you should act on you "self improvement", and begin with opening an English book. Pay particular attention to the first three chapters pertaining to basic grammar.
Once you accomplish that feat, I will then educate you on ecomonics, and why the French, the Indians, and the Germans are taking the positions that they are.
But, then again, why bother? It is obvious that your ideas are skewed, partial, and echo with the same directed cultural angst toward this country that you have been spewing out of your mouth since the day I read this board for the first time.
Go buy all of Michael Moore(on)'s movies, more RATM albums, and buy into every piece of shit that you have been sold. You are one of 50 million people that buy into that bullshit, think that you are getting an education, yet are accomplishing nothing short of feeding their bank accounts, and adding to their armadas of BMWs and Jaguars. Better yet, go burn all of your history books. Hitler would be proud that he finally was able to break the spirit of one Englishman.

scotsman, dumbass. I'm from Orkney.
and just read over your last post again, and if you still don't see why you are beyond hope, then you are truly beyond hope.
