Yes, please do change hosts, I'm rather sure I hate your guts.Also, I do believe this thread has gone waaay off topic.


But, going back on topic, wars are ALWAYS costly, this one is one of the least costly wars of history. The deaths are not Bush's fault. Don't blame the Republicans for every problem.

War was not necessary, has not solved anything, has gotten us out 2500-ish men, billions in war funds and equipment, and the respect of most of the world (though...arguably that could be considered a GOOD thing). The only good thing that's coming out of it is Iraqi freedom--a biproduct, in fact.

There's nothing good about this war, nothing to support unless you just refuse to see that Bush fucked up big time. The only thing he should do is keep the troops in and finish the job--no reason to pull out now whne it's almost done for.

JSL--you've proven yourself ultimate douche of the century. Impressive, as we're only about 6 years in.

Yes you have, in Mrs. Williams' English class in 9th grade. He was the one that pissed her off the most. Speaking of Mrs.Williams, JSL, you should post that image you showed me.

Again, do you think I care the slightest bit? If it was a problem and Gyro didn't want me to host the site anymore that would be fine with me -- I do it for FREE anyway. I didn't host the site so retards such as yourself could argue over the internet, I did it to host a Dreamcast related website.

BTW, Bush has done such a wonderful (:roll:) job on the enconomy.. rightttttt.

For the record, I love asians.

And one more thing. Do you have any tips for getting a semen stain out of a suit? I was fucking your mother (with my suit on, she's into that for some reason), pulled out and a bit got on it.
Whats your problem? You did offend me, so I am going to have you say this. You better back off or else one day Fox2Fox2 or I happen to somehow bump in to you and slit your throat, but not before we give you a proper asian torture(s) and good buddy, you do not want that to happening to you. BTW, if you didn't mean what you said and/or take it back, forget what I said.

Yes war is such a fun thing, but the imperfections of mankind will never change, but the problem is we will never truly know the full reasons for Bush declaring war just because our gov is corupt. I think the Amarican government sucks overall. Once I get well into my life like when Im 30ish I am leaving the US for Japan. Well Okinawa anyways. Living there is so peacefull. The Japanise are so mellow. Its fun there. If you dont belive me then why dont you go LIVE in Japan for four years and tell me otherwise, and if you have then I must have meet the nice ones.

Wow, I dont believe the Iraqis would agree. That wasn't an accident. I guess by your logic, those 2500-ish soldiers' died for nothing. Their scrifices must have been null and void, huh? Very classy. No offense but I feel like that soiled the legacy of those men and women.

Good for you--you're wrong. Those men were not sent there to give Iraqis freedom, they were there to 'protect america from terrorist threats' and of course capture oil. They died because of our president's foolishness in thinking that we could overthrow a country in months (and that was his thought, I'm sure, regardless of the fact that he said that it would be a long and arduous journey or however he worded the bs--he never specified that it would be a long and arduous journey on one country. If he knew we would still be there 5 years down the line, he wouldn't have wasted all the resources.).

Good point.

Branching off from DJ Yoshi, listen to this. Bush doesn't live in the same World as the rest of us. He grew up as a sheltered kid. He has never lived life as a normal American. Most Americans that hate Bush are middle-class, working citizens. Bush was never a normal American. He grew up with his dad being involved in politics, and lived a life where nothing bad happened to him. He doesn't relate to most Americans, and therefore thinks that anything he does makes the World a better place. For instance, look at how he's handling Katrina. Bush thinks that you can put a Band-Aid on a problem, and then everything's okay. The sick thing is that a lot of people agree with him, and are optimistic about his ideas, which, in turn, usually end up pissing a bunch of people off.

Take Bill Clinton, for instance. Now, I hate Bill Clinton. However, he related to America better, because he had a fucked up childhood, and ended up living most of his growing up life as a middle-class American. I'm not going to be the I-Love-Bill Clinton-guy, but he was a better president than Bush, no matter how much of a dick he was. Another example from what DJ Yoshi said, is that Bush thinks we can invade a country in a few months. The majority of American soldiers are people who come from normal families. Some of them are even younger than 18. Bush may think that he's helping the U.S., but he's destroying families and American unity by the second. So, as I stated earlier, is a guy like this REALLY suited to be president?

I totally agree that Bush grew up with a sheltered life where Clinton didnt. I know Clinton was a good president, just a big prick. Metaphorically of course... .Err... nm...

But my point is, the cost of war is not totally Bush's fault. If you want to blame the screw ups that have gotten all the troops killed, dont blame Bush, he is just the President. He is not the staff of military Generals that thought up "Hey, lets stay here and hope we dont get the crap suicide-bombed out of us. Yeah, great idea guys."

Bush isnt perfect, if you guys want to hold him up to your crazy standards of perfection, of course he will look like a complete idiot. Maybe you should learn how to have a realistic, instead of pessimistic, point of view on politics.

Yeah, I think it's sorta univerally agreed that despite what Clinton did (with his penis), he was a good president.
