LOL Funny!

Shza to that. We rock. Although, most of that was my parents opinion. I can't help that I think almost exactly like they do. But the international police thing was entirely my own. I feel special.

Cress: I saw that comic strip too. It was the Boondocks, and I really liked it. I agree with you most of the time, however, that bit about the WMDs not being our business? If he actually had them (...) then it would be our business. Even though we're hypocrites and we have them too. I don't like Bush AT ALL. I think the war was absolutely wrong. Bush keeps trying to justify it in different ways, but since none of them are true, he's painting himself into a corner.

But, guys: YOU CAN'T COMPARE BUSH TO HITLER. I really, really, really, really dislike Bush. I think he's an awful president, and I want him out. But he's not Hitler. He didn't order six million people killed. I hate to squash your fun, but Bush isn't another Hitler.

My main issue right now is with Sudan. They're going through a genocide right now in the Darfur region of Sudan. Arab militias, backed by the government, have killed hundreds of thousands of black Africans. Others are trapped in refugee camps where disease is rapidly spreading. They have little medicine, little food, poor shelter, and little clean water. They need humanitarian aid RIGHT NOW. And it sickens me how people can care about taxes and stuff like that, even though I know they're important, when people are DYING. RIGHT NOW. The Sudanese gov't says they'll stop it but so far they haven't made much progress and chances are they aren't going to, because they're the ones that started it. We need major pressure of the gov't, now. But with the U.S. absorbed in this year's elections, with a war gone horribly wrong, and with an increasing federal deficit, it's likely that Sudan isn't going to get what it needs. And that's what's sad.

[Cress]

I don't know anything about Sudan.
But I disagree about WMD. Why would it be our business? They hadn't bombed us, and there isn't any proof that they would have (I'm not saying that they would have, just that there was no proof) and it's the UN's job to deal with stuff like that. It is NOT our job. I hate the way we act like we can run around running the world and doing whatever we feel like just because we're the US. That doesn't make us better than other countries, nor does it give us the right to do things that other countries would get in a LOT of trouble for doing.

OMG this is really weird. Some mafia dude sent me an email getting the adress wrong. Some guy from Kenya doing a secret trade to bring down someone else's business. He should've not gotten the email adress wrong. I deleted it right away. The reason I know it's not fake is because it had all these graphs and was really long. Wow.

[Cress]

That's really creepy. I think I would freak if that happened to me.

[Chani]

Z, you probably should have called the police.. or forwarded it to them. Might have been something that someone would have wanted. *raises eyebrows* Kinda scary!

[db_pr]

WHy the heck did you delete it!? YOu should've sent it to...ME!

[Zgirl]

Oooo sorry. My worst dream is to be in the witness protection program. Yeah I know it's something that happens in a long shot but I read a book about it and it would ruin my life so I deleted it right when I got it. It was kind of boring though with all these charts and stuff...
lol. next time the mafia sends me an email I'll notify you Diego!

*agrees* I think that, in many ways, Bush is just as bad for the world as Hitler is; his direct flouting of a UN order, for example, caused me real problems at the time and has set an extremely dangerous precedent: that, so log as you're big enough and tough enough, you can do whatever you want. That may be true, but it shouldn't be: the UN was about eliminating that kind of pressure and Bush has just tossed it away. however, he's definitely not a Hitler.

as for the WMDs... Ella, you said that if he had had them, it would have been the States' business. To some extent that's true. BUT:
-it should not be for one sovereign country to take it into their own hands- especially not a country with WMDs of their own. I don't care how much more responsible America is supposed to be (??), people living in glass houses, etc.
-The UN inspectors said there were no WMDs! They said it! And Bush ignored them! If he had all this important CIA information, frankly this is important enough that he share a bit of that. He needed to be mroe open- and look, they still haven't found them, wonder why...
-Even if it was the States' business, I absolutely abhor their methods. And now they're trying to set up their own little puppet democracy. How stupid can you be? Think likean Iraqui- actually, no, just think like an American. Another country invades, kills your leader, returns your country to a state of out-and-out guerilla warfare, affecting it so profoundly that, for example, your previously very progressive Muslim attitudes towards women return to the fundamentalists; then they try to set up a democracy and expect everyone to participate happily- so long as they vet all the candidates. *rages* So stupid! And look at iraq now! Is it any better off?

That's a no. People are still dying every day in Iraq and will continue to do so for a long, long time as a direct consequence of Bush's actions. he may not be a Hitler, but let's not tally up his deathcount at least until he's out of office.

[Cress]

You took the words right out of my mouth. Basically, you just gave all the reasons that I was trying to say in a very competent, complete statement. Luvverly. And we can only hope that he won't be in office for much longer. I really don't think I could stand it if he got re-elected.

"I'm Christian, and I definitely think the rainforest should be saved. All life is important, not just human life. I don't know much about politics... I don't really pay attention. But from all the things I've heard about Bush, I don't like him at all. Kerry's not that great either." -Angelstar
I know EXACTLY what you mean, that's my opion 100% Cept that I just found out that actually Bush and the rainforest have nothing to do with each other... I should've figured it out before, Bush has no control over the rainforest. lol. *slaps forehead* Although he does want to drill for oil in Alaska... He has power over Alaska... *grr*....

[Zgirl]

NO! Don't drill oil in alaska. It will kill many species up there, the fish, seals, bears and everything will die. Ecspecially if there's an oil spill!
Hey Gryph. Don't do stereotypes. (I'm not telling you you are because I know you're not I'm just saying it.) Just because we're christian doesn't mean we're heartless souls...

[Agent M]

"Just because we're christian doesn't mean we're heartless souls... "
Z's got a point there, some christians might be stuck up etc but not EVERY christian. I mean Mother Teresa was christian, did you guys know that she died the same day as Princess Diana but Diana got WAY more press?? *grr* And she died cuz she wasn't wearing a seatbelt... *roll eyes*

[Cress]

That's so evil! I wasn't paying attention to either of them though. And I agree completely, we should NOT drill for oil in Alaska. Bad people who want more oil. We should be smart and come up with some other way to power cars. Invention rocks!

[Zgirl]

They ALREADY have some kind of power cars. You just plug them into the wall and they charge them up. Some people use them but I don't know where to get them.
They also have many other types of enviromentally friendly cars I just don't know what ones they are. In Europe they have very small nice cars there. (I have pictures one car is about half the size of a Volxwagon Beetle. Ask Pops or Fox or someone who lives there!)
