Hey guess what, I am going to let it go. If you think that we are in a better situation than we were 8 years ago. With high unemployment, the dollar is not worth shit, in a war that is not paying dividends that we were lied to for the reason of going, higher crime, schools not performing, breaking of our infrastructure(roads, bridges) loss of our moral standing in the world. Guess what? We still do not have Osama, but we did get a thug that we could control in Sadam.. There is nothing that I or anyone can say... Hell I got to win some NCAA games. I made 120K last year and my IRA is shinking and I am feeling the pinch with 3.30 gas. I need to win some games tonight.

The DOW is only off 7% for the year and was up 20% last year. We just talked about this in class recently. You can not look at it daily. Last year when it was up did you say my IRA is growing? It is and will grow. Do not look at it under a microscope.

At 120K a year you are doing well. Imagine some people who are head of households who make 45k. My dad makes about what you do and I know it is hurting him now also. But we consider ourselves lucky at the moment. We still have our house and savings. This too shall pass.

Let me tell you something, war is not civil. When you go to War you go to survival instinct. It is not a video game. You go there and you kick ass and you get out. For people that go into combat they are will never be quite the same. Something is taken from them I do not know but I grew up in Fort Bragg and Fort Campbell. I talked to a lot of soldiers I travel the country with my father to Army reunions. The commond factor is the innocence that is taken from them and they can never get it back. I have talked to a patriot that just passed away last year. Joined the army at 15 (he lied about his age) during wwii to support his family. I have an employee that was in the reserves that had to go active that missed the birth of his little girl. He can never get that back. So in conclusion .....Fuck You, Fuck Jordan, Fuck the M**F**ng President that was a coward and used his family influence to get out of serving in Vietnam. Fuck Chaney that used several deferments to keep him from serving.... This is real... WW1 & WWII were wars that was fought for our Freedom. This shit is being fought for other reasons and I let you guess..... SORRY MONTE FOR THE PROFANITY.... I am so sick of these video game, sitting on the asses armchair Patriots..... Damn Im through...

Since you said only some soldiers were good, were those you wrote about all good? Or just some?

You made 120k gambling?

88 thousand innocents that have died because of our country getting involved in a situation in another country. What would be the number if we didn't get involved? Probably in the millions. Ask the European population and the Jewish population what happened and how many died when England, France, USSR, and the US wouldn't get involved stopping a power hungry leader in Germany 70 years ago.

88k is a low figure

It wouldn't be millions either if we hadn't got involved. And I guess we can take the blame since we put sadam in power. Plus we had the chance to take him out in the Persian Gulf War.

As for the Jewish population I just heard the other day that around 50% of them were killed. IMO that should have never happened as numerous Countries should have stepped in a lot sooner.

[BettorsChat]

With that logic when will our troops go to Darfur where there is a genocide taking place. I can blame Clinton for not going to Rowanda. You ask what will the number be if we did not get involved? I would like to bet a hell of a lot lower. Part of the 88k(source NBC nightly new) was done by the hands of America. I am about to say something controversial but only an Archie Bunker type will say that we bombed your country, we disrupted your way of life but you are in a better place. Can't go against that reasoning.... That is just about as bad as Barbara Bush saying that the shelters that the people that was affected by Hurricane Katrina were in a better place that their home that got destroyed....

Did Barbra Bush say that??

Yes, anyone fighting in a war is changed. Some for the good, but more often for the bad. They see shit that they would have never seen and it can really screw them up. There are a lot of soldiers from this war that have Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. If you go back to older wars I'm sure theres a ton that had/have this problem as well as I'm sure it wasn't diagnosed or even known what it was at the time. I can especially seeing Vietnam vets having this big time.

Most people in this Country don't even make $45k per year. I would say that its around $25-$30k per year.

As for the DOW it should be down a lot more. There is still plenty of Credit problems coming IMO.

Just food for thought.........


Did you know?

I didn't know!

How could we?

Did you know that 47 countries' have
reestablished their embassies in Iraq ?

Did you know that the Iraqi government
currently employs 1.2 million Iraqi people?


Did you know
that 3100 schools have been renovated,
364 schools are under rehabilitation,
263 new schools are now under construction;
and 38 new schools have been completed in Iraq ?

Did you know
that Iraq 's higher educational structure consists
of 20 Universities, 46 Institutes or colleges and 4 research centers,
all currently operating?




Did you know
that 25 Iraq students departed for the United States in
January 2005 for the re-established Fulbright program?




Did you know
that the Iraqi Navy is operational?
They have 5 - 100-foot patrol craft,
34 smaller vessels and a naval infantry regiment.




Did you know
that Iraq ' s Air Force consists of three operational squadrons,
Which includes 9 reconnaissance and 3 US C-130 transport aircraft
(under Iraqi operational control) which operate day and night,
and will soon add 16 UH-1 helicopters and 4 Bell Jet Rangers?





Did you know
that Iraq has a counter-terrorist unit and a Commando Battalion?





Did you know
that the Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000
fully trained and equipped police officers?



Did you know
that there are 5 Police Academies in Iraq
that produce over 3500 new officers every 8 weeks?




Did you know
there are more than 1100 building projects going on in Iraq ?
They include 364 schools, 67 public clinics, 15 hospitals,
83 railroad stations, 22 oil facilities, 93 water facilities
and 69 electrical facilities.




Did you know

75 radio stations, 180 newspapers and 10 television stations?





Did you know

Did you know
that 2 candidates in the Iraqi presidential election had a
televised debate recently?





OF COURSE WE DIDN'T KNOW!





WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW?





BECAUSE OUR MEDIA WON'T TELL US!




Instead of reflecting our love for our country,
w e get photos of flag burning incidents at Abu Ghraib
and people throwing snowballs at the presidential motorcades.

Tragically, the lack of accentuating the positive
in Iraq serves two purposes:

It is intended to undermine the world's perception
of the United States thus minimizing consequent support;
and it is intended to discourage American citizens.

Well that's great news! More reasons that show why we need to get our troops out of there now. Mission accomplished!

[deltaforce]

I do not think we should leave just yet, but i do think we need to stop financing the rebuilding. What about all their oil profits to pay for. We have done our fair share. We need the money here now.
