    Has anyone noticed how some "Patriotic Americans" Blow off the news, its like the government finally made some people just not care. every bad thing on the news that concernes americans doing somthing wrong never gets talked about for more than a week, like the marines who toutured those Iraqis in that prison, people were all mad about it and all of a sudden ot gets pushed aside and no one cares WTF!? shit like this is just getting worse and we are getting our asses kicked over in Iraq they show pictures on the news, everyone watches but no one cares they just blow it of and let Bush "fight terror" (how you can fight terror with terror i'll never understand but thats not the point.)
    what the hell is wrong with people WAKE UP!!!

    Bush snooze is boring...it's like ya know you're being lied to and the plot line is so mundane and repetative that it's not even a very interesting lie. Republicans for the most part even know it's a lie but the ones I've spoken to don't really care because at least they're on the "winning side".
    The alternative media on the other hand rocks if ya wanna cry all day over all the smoldering bodies.
    And there were a plethera of protesters in DC and all over on inaugeration day.

    The sole of humanity isn't dead, it's just not on FOX.
    If you care you've gotta know that you're not the only one.

    I can only say that I did not vote for or support Bush in the 2004 Election. What he does from now until four years from now is out of my control. It is always blamed on the media, while the media is pretty much controlled by the goverment from what I have seen. Janet Jackson's tit brought more attention than the stuff you talked about. The media only shows us americans a small piece of gw's warmonger picture. Needless to say, I feel while we take on the word by fighting this war on terror I can not walk outside of my apartment building after dark and feel safe in my own neighborhood and that is not terror? We ignore the terror which exists in our USA maybe it is not the people who hold weapons of mass destruction who are a direct threat, only to line up all of the lone criminals uncaptured for their crimes on the streets and all criminals of violent crimes in prisons and jails and put them all together in some place in our country and one by one broght together would be a bunch of destructive violent criminals with their guns and stuff, if all violent crimes committed each day in all 50 states were brought forth. Then the numbers would prove the very citizens of the USA are really more of a threat than the axis of evil. What is mass destruction when spead out over thousands of miles east to west....from sea to shining sea. Nevermind it is time for my meds.

    I think the prisoner torture thing was pretty lame. The media pissed me off becuase of all of the things to condemn or investigate this administration for, they concentrated on the "prison scandal". The arab world also made me mad. They air decapitations of non-combatant contractors on Al-jazeera and applaud it, while the guards at this prison made the captured Iraqi's do a cheer leader pyramid and they consider all Americans to be monstorous.
    You know what is the most effective weapon for a terrorist? The media. If we quit covering every damn car bombing that happens outside of some cafe, they may realize that it is no longer making an impact.
    We are not exactly getting our asses kicked in Iraq, its just fucked up because we dont have anyone to actually fight. The "terrorist" really need to be called "guerillas" because that is what they are really doing. Colin Powell and the other general (I have forgotten his name) have resigned becuase they are pissed about how we invaded Iraq. Our main tactical screw up was that huge convoy driving through the desert to Bagdad. Remember how it seemed like there was no war and everyone surrendered? It is because there never was a war, there was no army waiting in ranks to get smart bombed into dust, they arent that stupid. They took off their uniforms and all of their weapons and equipment, and are now fighting their war covertly. That is why so many Americans are dying. We were to conceited and concered with a show of power (look how awesome we are and how efficiently we can crush you because we are Americans!) when we should have discretely dropped airborne rangers behind their lines before they could hide.
    You know how "patriotic americans" really piss me off? When they consider themselves to be patriotic because they support every decision the government makes and tell me I am not because I do not agree with everything the government does. It really shows how ignorant they are and how willing they are too submit to being told what to believe. Are country was based on revolution and independent thought.
    Personally, I think we need to be picking up weapons right now and revolting. The media covers protests less than they do terrorism, and protests are supposed to be positive and show that there are people that do not agree. Not any longer. The level of protests today have not yet reached those of the Vietnam war, but it is getting closer, the problem is, no one notices because it is not covered in the news the way it was thirty years ago. Thats why I think people do need to drop "violence is not the answer". That is the only thing these bastards seem to understand, I think we need to give them an idea of what freedom really is, and what people will do if they really want it. If I had support and backing, I would pick up a weapon and gear right now and go to my death if I thought I may be able to make some impact on this country. I am about ready to start putting bullets into those "Patriotic Fox News Watching Assholes" that say I am unamerican anyways.

    Whose with me?

    I think I understand what you are saying, and for the most part agree. The thing which I honestly could not seem to understand is how Bush was even re-elected in the first place? Honestly I think that he was so desperate to win the election that he 'used' the Christian people to rise up against gay marriage, and abortion prior to be re-elected 2 the very top things that mostly are ranted about in the Christian faith so with raising such a fuss over gay marriage and the 'proposed ammendment of the US constitution, and His Pro Life on Abortion, these I believe were his bait to make up for the way Iraq was invaded on his command and yet there were no weapons of mass destruction found. Also, I recall before the war itself Saddam saying : if you attack us (Iraq) that before it is ever over that you will be policeing the streets of Iraq. Maybe I am wrong about him saying that cause I really do not understand polotics much, only I know for one this democracy we are giving them was by them never asked for, so now since Bush says they will be a Country of Democracy and now they vote? I do not understand how us 'the United States' can make the decision for the people of what type of goverment they will have. The same people (USA) who bombed their country and caused 'mass destruction' towards them and now are supposed to believe in the US and follow what we say is the best thing for them - a Democracy? Our own freedoms here in the USA seem to be overlooked like that patriot thing and homeland security. I am an American who is not a patriot, and have no desire to follow or believe in a president who to me seems to have an inflated ego at others expense and acts as if he is on some sort of reality TV show to end up a hero? In my opinion the Republicans have control and are now 'dictating' in Majority over our own country and I can not stand by while they dictate what or how things are to be.

    Wow...
    Most patriots are white trash, and/or conservative. They tend to be harder for the media to manippulate (seriously not meant as offensive to liberals)
    That's the medi's fault, they tell the people what to be interested with, if a new "scandal" (not all are fake but, most) comes out the media talks about that instead
    That pisses me off, people use that as an arguement against the war. It's not Bush's fault a few soldiers are assholes
    The media only cares about money
    I wouldn't say "getting our asses kicked" their deathtoll is a LOT higher
    Oh, what do you think this war is about
    We aren't fighting terror with terror, we are fighting terror by killing the terrorists
    I think you are the one dreaming

    Iraq was not a hotbead for terrorism, Saudi Arabia is, Iran is, Israel is (yes Israelis are just as much terrorists as Palestinians) and many other countries harbor terrorists. Most terrorists consider themselves freedom fighters, in Iraq, thats what they really are. They are fighting because.. Surprise! they don't want us there! Its the same as the Vietcong, we thought we were freeing them, they thought we were just another imperialistic country like France trying to gain control, thats why they fought so hard.

    Prior intelligence reports show that Iraqi's are primarily nationalist, and do not hold the same radical muslim ideas as the terrorists we are used to. They did not have terrorists "camps" or organized groups aiming to destroy the American infrastructure. My main point was that we used "terrorism" as a reason to invade Iraq while they are not the primary countries where terrorists operate.
    My other point is that the word terrorist is being thrown around to include any enemy combatants. They are using tactics within their own country which similar to acts of terrorism, but the difference is they are not trying to just gain the same type media attention, they are fighting to get us out of the country, not just to make a statement. That is the primary difference, is that they are fighting for their country, or at least, what they believe, right or wrong, and majority of attacks are on milatary units. I will agree that "terrorists" could apply, but I think "guerilla" is closer to the point.

    Fighting terror by killing terrorists? We are killing some, but we are making ten times more in the process, and destorying foreign relations around the world. We should fight terror, but we are doing it in an idiotic way.

    sol is also the norse name for our sun... which is the generally accepted term, so our sun is named sol, which makes our solar system named the "sol" system or something like that...

    solar wind, solar storms, solar eclipse...

    so woo!
