Thanks Tom, I feel dumber now. Without going one way or the other on the issue I can honestly say you have no idea what you are talking about.

No one told you to read it. Open your eyes and maybe you will see...

I actually had a woman say that the other day. We started a conversation about hunting and agricultural trends. I started to say something about "if you look at the statistics on..." She immediately assumed I'd disagree with her and got defensive and said "Hey, I know the facts too. I watch TV!"

The conversation ended right there.

See what?? That was the most uneducated stance I have seen on any issue in a long time. All of your points were either incorrect or did not support your conclusion.

All I ask is for people to educate themselves before they argue with others.

Liberals do not know how to do that. I think Tom needs to listen to Rush Limbaugh (sp?) for an afternoon.

Re: Death to Saddam

Wow. CVD hit the nail on the head. So you expect US Presidents to be on the front lines? Good thinking. How many decades has it been since that's how things worked?

People die in war, what do you expect? Yes it's sad when soldiers die, but it is inevitable that we will suffer casualties in a time of war. It's the price we pay to live the way we do. There are things worth fighting, and dieing for. Soldiers know this when they voluntarily sign up, that there is a chance they may be called upon to fight for their country. Hell I was there, and I'm not pissed at the president. I don't know of anyone that was there with me, or any of my friends or co-workers that are still currently there, that are pissed with Bush about the war. Sometimes it seems like the ones who are the most pissed off, are the ones sitting in their air conditioned cubicles, e-bitching about it on the internet over their broadband cable connection. You're living next to sandy beaches, safe as can be, never stepped foot over there, but acting like this war is on your front door step threatening your safety. Shut off the damn TV and Fox News, and get your ass over there and see first hand what is going on. Look at the smiling faces on their faces with your own eyes, shake their hands, chat with them, work hand in hand with them, and find out how they feel about being free from Sadaam's control. And then form your opinion based on what you've have experienced and seen in person, and not what you've been fed.

Re: Death to Saddam

I need to find the link again but when it comes to soldiers dying in war the facts usually show that for the total amount of men and women over seas more would likly to die in other accidents on the homefront via car accidents and other accidents.

Reading some of this makes me think about the protestors I just drove by at work. Since I work for a government contractor that supplies all the cool shit used to protect the soldiers (tank ammo to actual bullets to spy plane technology) we have a ground the protests at our building every wednesday. They are protesting with sign that say stop making mines. They are referring back to when the copyany was under another name and produced land mines that where linked to accidental deaths of non combatants. It's unfortunate that that may of happened, but the actual use was not in the control of said company. We haven't made them for about a decade, but they don't seem to get this through their head.

Plain and simple, there is alot of missing facts and opinionated statements in this whole thread. I don't see any links to factual information, just hear say and it can all be taken with a grain of salt in my eyes.

Last item... Thanks again to people like Brandon and other who are have and are putting their lives on the line for those of us in the greatest country in the world.

Re: Death to Saddam

My question to Tom is: Have you voted? Did you vote on Tuesday? Unless you have, which as far as we know you haven't, your arguments/feelings/statements that are political in nature have absolutely no clout.
