ok.. yer stranded on a desert island.
with blitz and weazel.
you have a gun, but only one bullet.
what do you do?
-
Rub that there bullet against a stone until it is good and sharp and pointy, then wait unitl they are both standing in a line.
-
Its obvious hang. Shoot yerself.
-
Tie them to each other, throw them in the water. By the time they get done negotiating the best way to get out the sharks should have them zeroed in. Save the bullet in case pirates attack.

In before its locked :D
This is a tough one...
1.) Shoot yourself. You save yourself the pain of having to listen to liberal propaganda for the rest of your days, but the exit is weak.
2.) Shoot Weazel because he's infinately more annoying and hope one of those big "Chilli's Babyback Ribs" crates falls on Blitz.
3.) Line them up and shoot them both... what caliber weapons are we talking about here? Might not work... both are pretty thick headed.
4.) Have each one present a report to you on why their lives should be spared, and why they dont possess weapons of intellectual destruction, and determine which one you can scare into not talking anymore.
5.) Shoot Blitz and tell Weazel that if he keeps talking he wont get a thigh bone to eat.
J/K of course. :D

According to Snopes, it's also true.

Ofcourse its untrue, but that never bothers liberals. Its the "feeling" thats important.
-
Shoot yourself, because if anyone knows you could be stranded with either of those two, they definitely will NOT send out a search party.

Yeah, once the German people saw the two hijacked German tourist buses smash into the German radio station at
Gliewitz it was easy for them to see they had been attacked. I bet the politicos almost had to do no convincing at all, really.
You show that kind of thing on the German morning news shows over and over again... especially with the bus victims calling in on their backpack radios and saying that Poles had killed the driver and hijacked the bus.. the government doesn't really have to tell them they are being attacked.
Is that what Hermann meant to say?

Is this thread supposed to be funny?

It's not a feeling... it's a quote, apparently a true one.

It wasn't the Iraqis that attacked you either Toad. Your logic fails a bit there..
Attacking Iraq is like trying to put out a fire with gasoline. Fundamentalists thrive on this.
I know that it's easy to panic and make false judgement when you're facing a potent and invisible enemy that's not scared to die for its cause. I'd be scared shootless too.
If your government is trying to convince you that attacking Iraq will solve even a part of this problem, it's a mental band-aid nothing more.

HAHA shooting people is soooo funny LOL ROFL LMAO!!!!11

2 terrorist training camps destroyed.....THAT problem is solved.
Saddam dead or soon to be......THAT problem solved.
France and Russia shown to be the back stabbing, arms selling bastidges that they are......THAT problem solved.
Iraq WMD in the process of being destroyed......THAT problem solved.

I’m an American: bred, born and raised in the home of the brave and land of the free.
I’m also a patriot, having served my country more than once and in different ways.
But I’ve never thought that being an American and a patriot means I have to support my country when I think it is wrong. A basic freedom granted to all Americans gives each of us not only the the right to speak out against our government, but makes it our duty to do so when we believe such dissent is necessary.
Lately, however, too many people seem to have forgotten that freedom of speech and expression is a primary American right.
Recently, hundreds of thousands of Americans took to the streets of cities in this country to protest the upcoming war in Iraq – the largest antiwar protests since Vietnam.
This upset the “America right or wrong” crowd who said anybody who opposes anything that comes out of Washington in these post-9/11 times must be a traitor.
There’s no doubt a wave of renewed American pride swept over this country in the days, weeks and months following 9/11. You saw it on TV, heard it in songs and expressed it by flying American flags on car antennas and in front yards.
Unfortunately, the increase in American pride also brought a rise in intolerance for differing point of view, for people whose skin color and accents suggested a Middle Eastern ancestry and for those brave enough to stand up against the tide and ask: Are we doing the right thing?
Suddenly, anyone who spoke out became a “traitor” to America, someone who aided and abetted the enemy. To oppose war, to speak out against the government’s policies, we were told, was anti-American.
I hate to break the news to these Johnny-come-lately patriots, but America doesn’t work that way.
Those brave souls who gathered in Philadelphia to sign the Declaration of Independence spoke out against their government and established the principle that dissent was a basic right and freedom which should be “self-evident.”
The issue is not whether or not we agree with those who march and call our leaders murderers for leading this country into war. This is America. We don’t have to agree with them. And they don’t have to agree with us.
Some of those who marched against the war a couple of weeks ago fought in Vietnam or Desert Storm. Some won enough medals to fill a trophy case. They didn't suddenly become sissies or cowards. They remained what they have always been: Americans.
It doesn’t take a lot of guts to stick a flag decal on your 4-wheel drive. It does take guts to stand up and question the actions of your government in these emotionally charged times. It takes guts to buck the crowd and say “hey, maybe things are getting out of hand when we give up our rights to privacy, our rights of probable cause and our protections against unreasonable search and seizure in the name of a war against terrorism.”
There are some real questions which need to be asked and a growing number of people are taking the risk to ask them.
Former Georgia Congressman Bob Barr, a hard-core, right-wing conservative, has signed on with the American Civil Liberties Union to help fight what he sees as unreasonable assaults on American freedoms under the increased police state powers granted to the Department of Homeland Security under the USA Patriot Act and other such legislation. So has former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, another right-wing Republican.
Others joining the ACLU in its efforts to block this wholesale assault on privacy and freedom include longtime Republican conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly.
A few years ago, none of these three would have had anything to do with the ACLU. In the 1988 Presidential election, George H.W. Bush, the current President’s father, called opponent Michael Dukakis a “card carrying member of the ACLU” as a badge of dangerous liberalism. Now the former President stands down from public comment on his son’s plans for war with Iraq or the increasing police powers in the country. Close aides say he doesn’t support the actions. Other members of the elder Bush’s cabinet have gone public with their questions about the country’s headlong rush to war.
So why are right-wingers joining with the lefties? I think it has something to do with loving your country and putting that love above party politics and blind loyalty to any elected leader.
"Yes, I'm a Republican, but I'm an American first," Barr told a reporter when asked why he had joined the enemy.
"Some things are more important than politics," Armey said. "My loyalty to my country comes before any loyalty to a President or a party."
America is a diverse country with more than 200 million Americans who come from varied backgrounds, different philosophies and opposing beliefs. The last Presidential election showed a country split right down the middle, a contest so close it took the Supreme Court to decide the outcome.
Last year’s mid-term elections, cited by Republicans as a mandate for their policies, were much closer than the final results suggest. The key races that decided the balance of power in both the House and Senate could have gone either way with a swing of just one or two percentage points.
America’s greatness is not determined by Republicans or Democrats, conservatives or liberals. It is determined by all Americans of all political persuasions, all beliefs and all feelings.
Patriotism doesn’t wave a party flag.
Just an American one.
Apparently some folks here think I should be shot, or at a minimum muzzled or locked up.
Drop by any bulletin board where right wing zealots and bigots congregate and you will see the words “liberal” or “leftist” tossed around by people whose vocabulary is as limited as their intelligence.
They thrive on hate and fear and use both to spread their message....they can call me names all they like...I'm not scared and I'll still be standing at the end of the day. :)
It wasn't intended to be funny Nash, but if you look at the mentality of the right wing it is funny in a stupid sort of way.
To half-wits like them, evil is everywhere......particulary in the minds of anyone who tries to look past their myopic view of the world.
The scared and gullible right wing now accepts uncritically the "party line" spoon fed to the "liberal" media by chimpys junta.
This is reminiscent of Das Reich under the Nazis, and Pravda under Stalin, it sure as hell isn't the America I grew up in....

Perhaps you'd like to use a plastic shredder or acid bath?
There's at least one of each coming on the market very soon. Heavily used, but well maintained. Also used against people who have 'disagreeable' political views. You can order online:

...so what have you been smoking then?
So some of you guys would like to kill a fellow American (half-heartedly joking-maybe)? Because he has a dissenting opinion? Keep in mind that he has not said anywhere that he favors Saddam. Where does he say that he favors the colapse of democracy or the United States? In fact he seems to be EXERCISING his rights to free speech. Before you armchair phychiatrists pronounce his state of sanity, you'd perhaps look in the mirror first.
Let's see here who among us in the "Anti-American":
1) The one who exercises his dissenting opinions using free speech (a time honored tradition in our country BTW).
----or-----
2) The one trying to silence the individual exercising his rights? (hmm reminisent of Stalin and Hitler regimes to name but a couple.)
What exactly are freedom, democracy, and civil liberties to you? Just keywords that are ok as long as you don't exercise them?
I'm for our Civil Liberties and our Constitution and for what they stand. Call me pro-American, pro-democracy, and pro-civil liberties. I'll fight to protect those very same rights for you also. If you don't support my rights, weazel's rights, Dowding's rights, or anyone else you disagree with on these boards, then who really is the anti-American here?
Oh, by all means attack the messenger and not the message with your silly labels and name-calling as it would really surprise me that you'd actually argue the issues.
-
Who the plow is tring to silence you people, unless of course you consider being called on your BS silencing? You guys consider disagreement and counterprotest as a form of facist silencing, its pretty clear and was made blatantly obvious in the dixe chicx boycott thread.
As for your concern about violence being inflicted on the USA haters well tell me which side has recently been tearing up cities and disrupting the lives of millons of innocent peple? Cmon please tell me, which side? Who has conducted mass terror protest raids on pouplation centers in the past few years, terrorising and terryfing the people and destrying private property of innocent people of Seattle, Ottawa, Prague etc etc etc?
-
So you equate the criminal activities of people in rioting to the posting of dissent and comical images on this BBS?
In that case, I continue to compare this hypothetical silencing of 'BBS dissenters' to the torture and murder of political prisoners in Iraq.
One stance makes as much sense as the other, to me; i.e. none at all.
Have Weazel and Blitz even jokingly talked about coming round to your neighbourhood and causing mayhem? Yet this thread started with the premise of 'who would you kill given the choice'.
You guys consider disagreement and counterprotest as a form of facist silencing...
WTF? Even jokingly trying to decide who gets the bullet, isn't 'disagreement or counterprotest'. It's not debate. It's not argument. It's just pure stupidity. Fine if you take it as that, but hilarious if you try to make a serious point by it.

Oh yes, you and those who disagreed with blix tolerated him quite well. Reminded me of sharks at a feeding frenzy. Just out of curiosity, how many of you wrote emails to HTC to protest his posts? What do you call as being "called" on an argument? Personal attacks and/or namecalling is/are your definition of a reasoned argument? Let's see here, your very response: "plow" (like that was really necessary to get your point across. You were "so clever" to even misspell it so it wouldn't get squelched :rolleyes: )
"BS" gee, another label. Why doesn't that surprise me?
"USA haters" really? Maybe some love the USA so much they are willing to protest for what it really means to be an American. BTW, please show me just one of the peace protestors that say they hate the USA (don't confuse hating current administration policies as hating the country itself).
As to some of the violence and chaos from some of these protests, I don't agree with those methods personally (I've stated my stance previously).
I'll give you a simple comparison (and no, I am not comparing Bush to Hitler):
Who is the most patriotic and loves his country most of the following examples?
1) The German citizen that goosestepped in unison and followed Hitler's orders blindly?
2) The German that defied his orders?
Maybe things aren't exactly as you see them.
-
As much as I dislike the views presented by the two individuals in question, this thread is in very poor taste in my humble opinion. Hang, I am dissapointed in ya bud. I had a higher regard for your opinions before this thread.
-
I'm just asking him and perhaps other who have made the same comment about silencing dissent to prove their allegations and tell me why they do not infact consider counterprotest or disagreement to be silencing?
So who is silecing the anti war crowd?
How are they doing it?
Show me how this has been effective in silencing people on the left?
As for the vioence issues I think it stands pretty clear that on balance the anti-war, anti-bush, anti-capitalism croed has clearly commited more violence in their protests than the other side. Do you dispute that fact? And it doesnt really matter if they are small fringe minoroty because these are not random spontaneus acts of dissent, they are well organiozed, centrally planned and financed, centrally orchestrated worldwide even to the point synchronizing protest days. And unless the organizers are stupid they must know that there a violent members and yet they take no significant action to curtail them, why not? In any way they are responsible for the violnce and should be held liable as other incitors of willful civil terror like the KKK have been in the USA.

How about you answer my question on who has been trying to silence you? Who has been trying to silence blix? Who has styopped him from speaking in the UN?
Stop trying to cjhange the subject and evade my question, ok?
-
Who is blidly goosetepping with bush? Why do you assume that the folks who agree with the war are blindly gooseteppin and have not made up their own minds that the war is the right thing to do?
On the other hand why do you assume that the anti-war crowd has in fact thought on their own?
Were the people who supported the 911 war in afhanistan blindly gossetepping to? Please dont forget there was a robust and vocal antiwar movement for that attack as well....

Sorry Grunherz I mispelled our blitz with blix. I meant blitz (yeah, it's 4 am and I'm tired.)
BTW you complain of my "changing the subject and evading questions"? Look in the mirror when you say that, LOL.
I've seen personal attacks as responses. Someone trying to silence me? Haven't really seen it. I have seen plenty of personal insults/attacks/etc against weazel and blitz (yes many wishing them to disappear and/or go away).
Now to top it all off I see a thread about the "having only one bullet, who to choose Blitz or weazel?" Joking or no, that is in extremely poor taste and can be interpreted as a threat against their lives (try telling that statement to a secret service agent but substitute Bush and Cheney with blitz and weazel and see how fast you're hauled off to jail (after a nice "interview"). Not very funny is it?
You want to have a personal comparison between your posts and mine on the profanity? Go search all of mine and see if you find any words that are filtered (or words that are misspelled to avoid the filter). You'll look long and hard before you give up on mine.
Because I try to show the person asking questions respect in a thoughtful, sometimes lenghty answer, I'll not answer some "loaded" questions especially when some of their responses amount to a total of about 30 seconds of thought and another minute of thought of what labels/profanity/personal attacks. I just don't have the time for it.
BTW most of my responses are my own thought, not cut and pastes by others. Am I always right? Nope.
Perhaps you re-read my posts above. Then you go read the "apology" thread from Blitz. look at this very thread and tell me it wasn't in poor taste against Blitz and weazel.
Now I have to get some sleep as it's way past my bed time.
Good night sir.
