Title: America.
Post by: Nilsen on April 09, 2004, 06:03:15 PM
Just so some of you don't get my attitudes against the Bush regime and the way the Iraq war was started as anything else:

I appreciate that your Founding Fathers inspired our own Constitutional Fathers at Eidsvoll in 1814.

I appreciate that you with open arms received Norwegian emigrants who wanted to create better lives for themselves.

I appreciate that you were our allies against nazism and fascism during World War II, and contributed to democracy in Japan and Germany.

I appreciate that you contributed to re-build our country after World War II, through the Marshall plan.

I appreciate that you took the threat from Communism seriously and contributed to increased freedom and stability among our neighbours in the East.

I appreciate that you helped us discover and develop oil fields in the North Sea.

I appreciate all the marvellous American creations within painted art, literature, music and movies.

I appreciate all the amazing American innovations within science, technology, medicine and business.

I'm proud of the friendship between Norway and the USA, and I hereby wish to contribute to its strengthening.

The End :)

"I blame you for makeing bussines with Communist during WW2 and your ignorance of their goals after WW2."

How should the west have dealt with the Soviets during WW2?

Are you saying these should have been no aid to them in their battle against the Nazis?

Maybe the west shouldnt have even fought the Germans, I mean Hitler wanted that really bad - peace with the "aryan" western powers - so he could really focus on wiping out eastern european slavic untermensch like you,   and me...

Steve, Ravs is a good guy....maybe his last post was a little confusing due to the quotes and bold type being a little messed up.

I'd agree except it seems that common sense isn't so common in maslo land...  Now IIRC he is from central eastern europe so his perspective might be different but even more than that it appears he has much hatred against the USA for some reason.

It seemed like a snotty insult to me.   If I am wrong you will have to explain it in very simple terms because it is escaping my limited ability to comprehend.

Side note:  I dislike Gscholz's posts/positions enough that my judgement may be clouded and quicker to assume the worst.

if i never flew with you and got to know you personally, i'd prolly hate your guts from reading some carp we all spew on an impersonal BBS. though you and i disagree on alot of thing politically (the BASIS of a friendship IRL where i come from) i consider you a friend.

3/4 of the people here are not what they seem IRL. at the last con i met a bunch of them. though many snubbed me i got to watch them, and listen. i'd bet thah 1/2 the people that "argue" to the threat of quitting would buy each other a drink in a social situation.

the "posturing" on the internet has gotten me sick. it's all like this pic:

 I do not think you are getting wiser, if this board pisses you off so bad or the internet you would quit if you were wise.

Instead you post stupid rants and flip out like a lunitic.

 Bah, I am not attacking the guy, but his post seem to be out there recently.

I agre thought the discussions are fun and interesting. Sometimes when it is something you care about, it is hard to step back and not get mad.


I was serious about steping away though, if something in life is making you more unhappy then happy it is time to let it go, unless it is a kid.

That is one of the reason I got rid of my damn GTO the last one was a total pain and I kept asking myself "why the hell I am doing this?!"

I finaly got tired of asking myself that and sold it, and do not regret it one bit.

i for one have given up on gambling. i always lose. i lost $75 in 20 minutes once. i could spend less on a hooker in vegas but i'd take a greater risk.

as for me being "wiser" i said i can only hope....

even though i dont reply to al those ripsnort-and-paste links people put up about political topics doesnt mean i dont read them.

heck AHBBS O-Club is like CNN withough the pop-ups, or ads in the sidebar.

i didnt want to do an "edit" and have my to nilsen missed for lack of reading somone's full post.

so until GS responded @ 6:25 PM i was sitting at my desk uslessly hitting "refresh" to see if GS was still up (like i said i know him and was curious if he'd like my "joke").

there were no posts in between ours that were deleted.

that i assure you of, because im a lamo attention potato-intardnet geek who had nothing better to do on a firday noght except refresh a BBS to see if a guy i have never meet in person has read and responded to what i typed in jest (GS). im just pathetic enough to do that, yet i dont have pure white skin, and i dont weigh 300lbs.

NUKE, I have no idea what you are talking about.  If you were banned, you would not have been able to make this post, or use your BB ID.

And just for future reference, I have never and will never ban someone for disagreeing with me in a discussion.  I apply the same rules to myself as I would to anyone.

I was banned, my ip was blocked after I postested an opinion about Steve's "cat" response. You banned my ip within a few minuts, blocked my BB account.

After a few weeks you let me back, on probation for many months. And I never once broke any rules of this BBS.

I don't even remember it NUKE.  I thought you were talking about something current.  If your opinion involved personal attacks, then yeah, I could see where you got banned.
But I do not hold a grudge NUKE,  People make mistakes and sometimes they need to cool off.  It's never personal when I do something like that.
Obviously you contacted me and we got it worked out.  I always respect people that are willing to make the effort to work things out.  Sometimes it is a misunderstanding, othertimes it's not.
I am not infallible.

The scene: A small West Texas cow town. A dusty stranger rides his horse to the front of the saloon, dismounts and enters.

NUKE: Bartender, give me a Whiskey. I'm lookin for that low down mangy dog who banned me- Skuzzy is his handle.

Skuzzy: (from a poker table across the room, in a low voice) Do I know you, boy?

NUKE: (turning to face Skuzzy as the piano stops playing) Next time you ban a man you better make sure you ban him permanent-like, mister.

Skuzzy: (saloon goes quiet except for the scraping of boots on the wooden floor as the other patrons scramble to get out of the line of fire) I've banned lots of people, boy. Why should I remember you?

NUKE: (blinking, looking confused) But... but... You was WRONG!! I didn't deserve no banning!

Skuzzy: (staring intently at NUKE) If you was banned you deserved it. I never ban an innocent man.

NUKE: (sweating) But... but.... It ain't fair!

Skuzzy: Well, what ya gonna do about it, boy?

NUKE: (gulping, looking nervously about the silent saloon) Why... I'm a gonna... Uh... I'm a gonna...

Skuzzy: You gonna WHAT, boy?

NUKE: (shifting feet, sweating profusely) Why... I'm gonna go fly in the Main Arena, and I'm gonna tell everyone you're a big poo-poo head! (nods head matter-of-factly) Yup, that's what I'm a-gonna do!(strides quickly out of the saloon)

Skuzzy: (turning back to his poker game to the sound of fading hoofbeats, the piano and saloon chatter) Man, I hate this job.

I appreciate all the marvellous American creations within painted art, literature, music and movies.

I can only speak for myself when I say I don't hate Bush - i don't actually hate anyone...well maybe the ex wife a little but if you ever met her you'd understand.

I certainly don't hate America, I consume products, do business with, have friends there, visit every now and then - not the act of someone who hates the place.

I do  think Bush is an idiot - hell half of the Americans who voted thought so too and voted for the other guy last time around so I consider myself to be in good company.

I don't even think Bush and the neo-cons form the basis of the mainstream Republican party - 9/11 allowed an extreme group of the party to hijack America and head down a road that is a complete fiasco.

How anyone who reads the news - from Drudge to CNN and everything in between can actually think it's all going to turn out well is beyond me.

If America stays in Iraq and frankly by now there's no choice but to stay I think that in the next 12 months another 600 to a 1000 troops will be killed - plse of course 10 times that number of Iraqi's - combatants and civilians.

I don't think it will do ANYTHING to stop terrorist attacks on the West - if anything it will cause more.

Bush I think has a good chance of losing the next election - he's outspending Kerry 7-1 and he's STILL down in the polls - who would have thought that  a year ago?

Rumsfeldt thought he could get away with 30,000 troops in Iraq - after the local pops had stopped throwing flowers and being grateful - stupid moron should have learnt by now when a 5 star General who has so many medals he walks lop sided gives you advice and says "We need 300,000 men to do this thing" you should listen.

Stupid waste of money of people's lives and of good men doing their duty - hell even if you don't want Kerry or a Democrat running things get someone like McCain or Powell but Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeldt are absolutely hopeless.

In light of what this thread is about, you should consider if you that just because you have an opinion does not mean you should express it, especially when it is not in line with the thread.

Believe it or not, an arguement can be be made that hockey was created in Virginia.  Not a strong arguement, but an arguement none the less.  :)

Still waiting for a source to prove that the US gove more aid to New Zealand in the past 60 years than any other country, or were you lying?



  Do your own research. Hint:  WW2.

Please, the US wasn't fighting the Japanese to "aid" New Zealand.  It was a situation of mutual benefit.

I'm sorry that you think only people on the left think statements should be back up by actual evidence.  Let me assure you that there are people on the right that believe so as well.

At what point does "mutual benefit" detract from "vital aid?"

Me and a fellow employee had some guys from Norway buy us drinks just because we were from the US.  We were at the Scotland Yard (resturant) in Tallinn, Estonia at the time.

They said it is about time someone went in there and did something in Iraq.  United States was the only country with guts enough to do it.  I was very shocked for I did not expect this at all.  

Things that make you go "Hmmmmm".

Steve,

Please remember we were heavily involved in WW2, Korea and Vietnam, pesonally I lost a cousin to the Vietnam conflict though he was Australian not a Kiwi. So your point of view must apply to Australia as well regarding aid.

As for aid I don't think we've received a cent since the early 80's when our  government put a ban on your Nuclear ships from visiting our harbours. Other then lumping heavy tariffs on anything we try to export to the US.

I guess it could apply to the Aussies as well Gixer, but we were discussing New Zealand.  I'm glad to have them both as allies... disappointed they are quick to not give us the benefit of the doubt after so many years of friendship.

I think we do and will continue to do so. Just that in the current climate America (Politcally) tends to alienate themselves just as much as we may of America.

Unfortunetly recent decisions haven't gone well, but it would take alot more to break up our long standing alliances then a few terroists.

George Washington Carver first made peanut butter I beleive.  At the very least he was instrumental.  He was a scientist who did a lot of work with peanuts, finding new uses for them and what not.

Actually the Kellogg Bros of Corn Flakes fame were the first patent holders for peanut butter.

The post was just a troll. Such a post could be made for the Germans and Japanese too. Is that how we are to think of each other? Only by the events that make us look good?

There are millions of dead in indochina that think that list isnt a complete disclosure of the information we need to judge americas actions.
There are millions of peasents in centeral america that where denied democrocy for generations by troops that where trained in the art of suppression by the School of the Americas. They think that list isnt complete.
Do their voices not matter at all?

Cant believe that Skuzzy thinks its appropriate to stomp arround here in full dress uniform "moderating" the discussion again.
