Oh...I guess I can see what the fuss is about in that case

However, I respectfully decline on both counts.

Coombz reminds me of the Ron Paul supporter and liberal nutjobs- that America is to blame for terrorism in the world and that radical Islam formed because of America's actions. Then he plays a game that is American run and comes onto the BBS and trashes America and wonders why he gets such a strong reaction against him. Even the father of a British soldier who was wounded in action disagrees with him.

United States is sending two fully armed Destroyers to Libya, not sure exactly what this amounts to other then a show of force - even though THEY know we won't fire off a shot.

/pointless I guess I dont understand the logic of this

A couple of Tomahawks would be a nice warning shot, directly aimed at the center of where the rats are hiding at

  i don't wonder why i get a strong reaction against me

I'm sure lots of people disagree with me, everyone is entitled to their opinion

I'm no expert but isn't Ron Paul a republican?

Also you are once again creating a good straw man to represent me, can you quote where i said specifically that America is responsible for radical islam or that you are to blame for all terrorism?

I might have said you're failing to stem the flow and are in fact making it worse, but that's a different kettle of fish entirely

So your inference is that i should either not speak my mind about certain things, or failing that i should not associate myself with the UK?

still declining, sorry

In name, yes he is. But he is the posterboy of the Libertarians and has run as a Presidential candidate for them in the past. He has a very isolationist view on foreign policy.

My inference is that other British players might not wish to be associated with your particular form of Tourette's.

Maybe you should send a few PMs or get a sig line pointing out that not all British people are as mean and argumentative as me

[SPKmes]

It is a very sad and distasteful event.. ... just as many many others have been over many years...and to point and blame a particular thing is madness... do you all really believe everything in the media??? I'm positive many of you have dissed the media and called it lies ...on this very board...over very similar things during this past decade or so I am of the opinion of a couple here... many are only looking and seeing the surface of things..... there is and has been more to world events....Not sure whether it is pointed to WWIII as such from my perspective.. but more toward globalization....

I   those who have been lost ...Karma is a bi@7ch... and from what I can figure ...F.A.S.T is Karma intensified

I don't think you're being argumentative, it's something else.

Personally, our bombs should be dropping over Libya and our tanks going through Tripoli.  If we don't use a show of force, Our Ambassadors around the Middle East will be slaughtered the same way.
This is not the time for talk, this is the time for war. By killing U.S. Marines and an American Government Official , war was declared when the shots were fired at the Embassy

Problem is the other half of the country don't want another war. And IMO, war should be a last resort. With the exception of one war, I think all of the wars in history could've been avoided had one side decided to use other methods.

My friend, they have already declared war, not it's time to get off our butts and wage it. Leave Libya in shambles and go home. It's the only way to stop this garbage. My only complaint is that we are sending war weary veterans to fight another war. But we have to fight this one.
