he'll probably be doing a lot of editing anyway if he goes back and rereads this. ;)
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Staga,as much as I'm not eye to eye with Sikboy, Thrawn and Toad on the Mideast situation and the need for deployment of American troops globally, and as much as my viewpoint is much closer in principle to yours than theirs, after your missile comment I'm glad you're not an American, and I'm glad they are. I can disagree with them and still get along with and respect them- I can agree with you and not respect you even a little bit.

...it's the essence of being American. The ability to fight like cats and dogs amongst ourselves and yet pull together instantly when we need to.

It's one of the things that makes us ... us.  :)

... and one of the things not everyone understands about us, IMO.

OK, no more Mister Nice Guy. First Pongo implies I'm somehow "soft," Thrawn fools me into thinking he's American because he posted during a rare lucid moment, and Hangtime implies we should have a campfire sing-a-long! From now on I'm going to be the same old insufferable jerk that trolls every issue, insults every poster and gets squelched more often than Staga says something stupid.

This thread sucks. Let's talk about something light- like dead homeless people.

OK everybody! SWITCH!

Lemme see here... what exactly do those articles have to do with the US efforts towards peace in the region? Or did you just want us to know that the situation is a mess? Oh, wait, maybe you're back to saying that it's all Israels fault? Sheesh, these articles, while in better taste, are just as pointless as posting pictures of dead arabs. :rolleyes: wiggle wiggle wiggle.

-Sikboy

PS: If you think the policy dicisions in the middle east justify the sept 11th attacks, you're nuts. Surely they predicated the attacks, much like the embargo against Japan predicated the attack on Pearl Harbor. However neither of these policies IN ANY WAY justified the violent responses.
You: Blah Blah Blah

I agree, they were really cool guys :)
What comes to peacekeepers height, Fiji's had huge mens and had reputation to be with really hot temper, I tend to agree..
But we had a arm-wrestling competition between all countries and the winners were:
Mens: Finland
Womens: Finland
:D

From your table, I've seen peacekeeppers from Poland, Ireland, Ghana, India, Nepal, Fiji, France and Sweden (not in list) and I must say that out of those (even though Swedish guys and gals were great too, really professionals) I'd say the most liked in Finnish Battalion were the IRISH! Boy they were something different! :D

This thread has grown way too long and way too much pissing contest, perhaps someday I actually even read it. But for now, I'm drinking BEER and I don't want to write more here (I'm not drunk enough).

Which was truly amazing, considering the same Finnish woman won both the women's AND men's competition!
