Exactly, sticks and stones.:D

LOL. Yes, I saw that. It gave me a chuckle on the way to work.

Punk. When the Sex Pistols came onto the scene in Britain, there was universal outrage among the middle aged. I was never banned from listening to them, but it was made clear that they weren't approved of. :D

I'll give you another reason not to be depressed. I can remember the euphoria I felt when the Labour Party, led by Tony Blair, was elected in Britain in 1997, after 18 years of Conservative rule. This was the party that I'd supported all my working life, (and before) and never seen in power. For...

If you're fighting against an enemy that has overwhelming military superiority, which is killing your family, friends and countrymen with impunity, it's understandable that people will resort to desperate measures. I agree that on the whole, their actions are futile, but as I've said, I can...

Hopefully, you'll never be put in a situation where it seems that it's the only thing you can do to make a difference.

Me neither, we'll make it a threesome. :smooth:

Are you deliberately ignoring what's being said here, or have you really not got the intelligence to understand it? Saying that you understand peoples motivations does not mean that you agree with them. I don't agree that suicide bombing is the right way forward, but I do understand the motivation.

Ok, forget the Minutemen, what about firing misiles into heavily populated areas from jet fighters and helicopter gunships and killing innocent kids on their way to school? Is that ok if it's your side doing it?

That's strange, I keep reading that the thousands of innocent civilians killed in Iraq are an unfortunate by product of a justified war. And don't say they're not being targeted. If you bomb a heavily populated civilian area, you KNOW you're going to kill more civilians than insurgents.

She didn't say she "empathised" with suicide bombers, she said she "understood". And if you don't understand them, you're pretty thick. Example; you're family has been wiped out, the political system has failed you and there's no prospect of that changing. You've got nothing left to live for...

Anything for a good Democrat girl.

Look on the bright side; no need to get home by midnight anymore, you're already a pumpkin. ;)

So, you'll be needing a stand-in for the next four years.;)

Just be thankful you're not living in Fallujah. After this result, anyone living there should seriously start thinking about getting out, now. Sorry, that's probably not going to make you feel any better.

I watched some of the election on TV last night and the length of time it took people to vote puzzled me. Why does it take so long, what is the process? In England, we get a registration card through the post, go to the polling station and exchange that for a ballot paper. You then go into a...

Not at all. Terrorism should be taken seriously, but it shouldn't be blown out of all proportion and used as a means to scare certain gullible sections of the electorate, into voting for a certain candidate, as the Bush campaign has clearly done.

The answer to all those questions is obviously no, but then Bush isn't using any of those things as the central plank of his re-election strategy, is he.:rolleyes:

Just out of interest mossman, what made you switch?

LOL, and people crtisised me for starting that other thread saying people were voting for Bush because they were scared of terrorism. Look at the number of people who have agreed with this post. For those of you who missed it the first time, you are seven times more likely to be killed in...
