Terrorist have done it now:Pissed off Ted Nugents wife!

[mrfish]

europe is a little less provincial about languages - most people i have run into there speak 3 or more languages.

what you speak isn't so important because language is just a way to convey forms from your mind to the next - the method is irrelevant, the forms are important. in america it has some heart wrenching nationalist overtones or somethin - i dont know ive never been able to figure it out.

i live in a sea port so i hear all kinds of stuff - the people i sit next to at work speak chinese and russian all day and it doesnt really bug me.

it's kinda funny how one of the most advanced nations on earth can have such novel ideas about things.

i do agree that people fitting the terrorist profile should be scrutinized more in airport lines even though they are probably innocent but that's just common sense. as long as you are professional about it i dont see how bag searching and polite question asking is such a travesty...

 only in america is the individual so overblown that we avoid common sense! still, scrutinizng someone is a far cry from banishing them for their language.

and even if she ever did make a point, who the hell is she? she married some idiot that had one hit song in his whole career and 20yrs ago at that! she'd be slanging hash at dennys if it werent for him prolly.

Hangtime, and anyone else who wants to spew that idiotic "if you don't like it/agree, leave" arguemnt... what you think this country is, some kind of fascism? If you don't agree leave? Sorry, the principle this country was founded on is that if you don't agree, you can say so and do whatever you are legally able to do work for a change that will satisfy you. You don't like that? Establish a Fascist party and win the Executive and Legislative branches. Then you might have something to stand on. Till then? Practice your preaching: Put up, or shut up.

 

BWAHHHAHAHAHH!! Dammo; I COULD roll up my sleeves and tear into onena my famous diatribes on whatever it is thats itchin my amazinhunk today, but.... ahhh; what the hell. I got nothin better to do..

Ispar, yah fediddlein twit, I din't side with 'ol Teds wife, and frankly I don't give much more than a rat farts credence to the dum assed ol hag's view, other than the usual "wouldya lissen that!! LOL!!" Pretty much in the spirit the post was intended.

What I DID do was let Miko know that his wailing and ranting over the political mistakes the ijits in this country made over the past 25 years (when he was in russia I belive) is kinda gettin old, and that in South Africa, that kinda hindsight is a lot more valid than it is here.

So, Ispar, my flag waving knee-jerkin boneheaded friend, take yer Nazi accusations, and stuff 'em where the sun don't shine.

FYI, I did my time, served my nation, and came home to some hugahunk like yerself, who knew NOTHIN about me, what I stood for, what I belive in and said to my uniform, not unlike you...  "Nazi" and "Baby Killer" along with a few other not so nice things.

He was inna ambulance in short order.

You might wanna be careful who you call WHAT Ispar. Particularly around now, when my blood pressure (and most others around here) gets a mite high.

I do believe in your right to say whatever the hell you want... and I also reserve the right to serve you yer fediddlein teeth inna urine sample jar fer sayin it.

America. Love it; or LEAVE it. I meant it then, 35 years ago, and I mean it now. And please note that statement HAS NOTHIN to do with whatever language you speak.[\b]

Apologies to Rip and Hang. Sometimes it can be hard to tell what you guys are actually saying. I'm not accusing you of fascism (yeah, I know it sounds that way), just saying that that particular argument is rather reminiscent of fascism. 'Cept in a fascist nation they might not let ya leave - they'd just imprison you.

Sorry about the misunderstanding   .

(edit) ooh, just read that again. Lookie here... I have nothing but the greatest of respect for those who have served this country, in times of war and in times of peace.

But maybe you should be a little more clear? I dunno, maybe I should just read more carefully.

And Rip, you of course are correct. You didn't take a stance, and I'm sorry for implying that you did. With that aside... why don't you go ahead and guess my age again. I dare ya... you got it wrong with the first guess. After all... the argument is what qualifies the individual, not the other way around.

you can always tell when a blue moon is a-fixin' to happen. they tend to coincide with hangtime losing his temper

``Rgr that Ispar... and my apologies fer the rant.  

Sorry to say I gotta itchy trigger finger lately too. Every morning; as my mind catches up to current events I find myself wishin I had a time machine.  

I have all kindsa guilty thoughts as the day wears on.. 'profiling' and 'retribution' and 'revenge' and 'nuke the bastards' along with other even more politicaly incorrect thoughts roiling thru my tortured lil peanut brain... I do know I Love my Country and would not be adverse to seein it's tormenters swing from the villige hangin tree... whoever they are.

I guess I'm just plain fediddlein mad as hell. Mad at the terrorists, mad at the isralis, mad at the 'i told yah so' idjits, at the 'peacenicks' the 'talking heads' the media, the government, the UN, the politicians, the spin doctors..

I'd really like things to be like they were before 9/11... back when the biggest visable terrorist threat around here was a buncha teenage tree-huggin vandals messin up new housing devlopments.

*sigh* I usedta feel good after a crisp rant. Not anymore. I feel like toejam.

USA should increase the export of "Mountain Oysters" to those places.

And give them JJ and Oprah. They dont have radioactive side effects after the blow is dealt.

"United we stand, divided we fall" Thats all I have to say.

I can understand you being mad at all those other things, but why mad at the Israeles.  You don't think for a second the Arab nations wouldn't decend on Israel like a horde of locusts without our help?  They need us, and we need them.  Israel is the United States' only ally in the Middle East, with the exception of possibly Jordan.  They (Israel) were going to drop an atomic bomb on Iraq during the Gulf War, but they didn't because we (United States) weren't ready for that.  I'm sick and tired of hearing anti-Israel and anti-American sentiments.  Thank you.

Nope.  They have nukes, and the ARab nations KNOW they would use them. They would NOT descend on them, unless of course they want a glass desert. They don't need our help, but our friendly relationship with the jewish country has created some stability in an already unstable part of the world.

I'm split with the decision..can't break ties with them, but can't get any closer with them either..

Israel has REFUSED to allow the UN to step into the disputed areas.

WHY?

As long as Israel is permitted to pursue a policy of enforced settlement on PERVIOUSLY deeded arab lands in Palestine, the 'war' there will go on.

It's about time somebody drew the lines in black in white on the map, and made both sides stick to 'em.

INSTALL THE UN PEACEKEEPERS IN THE AREA NOW. ENFORCE A BUFFER ZONE; INSTALL PEACE IN THE REGION. FORCIBLY IF SO REQUIRED.

I'm sick and tired of the blind acceptance being propagated by americans of jewish descent for Israel's recent return to assinine palistenian policy... just as I am sick and tired of blind and ignorant ethnic Irish support in this country for the IRA in Ireland.

Time to wake up, my fellow Americans.

amen hang - too bad there is so much education in need on the situation over there.

it sickens me to hear people repeat the approved rhetoric about how 'they are our best friend' and 'we need them' and blah blah blah....it just shows how influential the media is in making peoples minds up for them.

good grief people! - when you hear the exact same line repeated 8000 times by people who know dick about the region doesnt it set off an alarm bell? hello in there???!!

just forget it - the mind melve is too deep in this country...
