Like 15 year old kids dont have a opinion, and say averything without knowing him? Sjeez, I hate idiots who fee better and smarter then 15 year old kids..

^ i didnt say i was better. I said that i am annoyed by (stereotypically) 15 year olds who believe that dishing out crap about politicans makes them smart and socially aware, even if they don't know what the hell they are saying. Next time a 15 year old says something political, ask him
a) What a trade policy is?
b) Who THEY would have voted for?
c) Did They get this idea from Green Day?
d) If they can count to 10.

If they pass all these questions, then start a conversation, by all means. Otherwise walk away.

seriouslly, i didn't say they didnt have an opinion, i didnt say they said everything without knowing. I said that when some individuals badmouth any politician, make sure they arent a complete fool trying to look cool & socially aware, or perhaps topical, if they know what that means.

Calling me an idiot helps no-one. Maybe you're just dissing on me to look socially aware & cool infront of the other members? I hear dissing on people/things you dont understand is the new fad.

I totally agree here... Im 15 but at least im not talking crap about something i dont know... Most ppl i ask "Why do you hate bush" They say, Just Because or some stupid thing like "He caused 9/11" or "He Put our soldiers to war"

True, He did send troops to war, but what the hell do you expect if you join the services? Sit around and do nothing? If you dont want your son or daughter in the forces, tell them Dont... Dont blame Bush about it b/c If your in the military, its your job...

My father was an E8 in the Army.. Artillery driver... Palidans.. yea.. well anyways, he told me he hated all the Bad mouthing towards Bush b/c ppl didnt know what they were talking about. Ppl think they support how troops feel but really, take a poll and only about 11% would say they hate bush and want to go home... being in the military is a life changing experience and no soldier would just throw it all away and become a lazy bum at a PC all day...

All i am saying is what the ppl in America think, is not whats true.. Soldiers dont care about being there.. Yea theyd rather be home, but they wouldnt give up they job to support some Kerry figure...

seriously im 16, and i totally agree. He didnt enlist troops, he sent existing forces to a quite possibly dangerous area in the middle east.

Kids, Green Day fooled you, YOU COULDN'T DO BETTER!

(and i still am not a supporter)

Exactley... Greenday took the cause of the moment of a overhyped topic and put it to some guitar and made it sell..

macdaddy · Post by **macdaddy** » 14 May 2005, 06:22

^ correction LAME guitar

Post by **TheStig** » 14 May 2005, 07:03

well duh, if I was a soldier and send to a conflict area. sure I wanted to stay

2 reasons:

1 you are doing what you are trained for.. so YOUR JOB
2 you get a shiznit of money extra for being threre (or did the whitehouse forget to mention that...)

The issue isn't so much that Bush utilized the army. It's more that it's uncertain he should've sent troops into Iraq. I doubt any of us will anytime soon know the real reason for this war. I'm not going to say that there were unethical, or wrong reasons for the war, but Bush has given us pretty much every excuse but the Chewbacca defense. WMD's, terrorists, Saddam is a bad man... If Bush is going to start wars with the excuse of freeing nations from evil dictators, he'd better damn well try and commit to freeing EVERY nation. Not just the ones that could be beneficial to American interests (or at least are willing to comply with American demands).

Would Kerry be any better? I don't know. Probably not by much. Still, if there's no one better than Bush, that's a little disturbing.
