    Yay! *sarcasm* Don't we all love america? (I find the fact 'we' [The USA people] call this nation 'America' is horribly arrogant, as 'we' are part of 'North America' right? Why the hell are 'we' making it seem as if 'we' are America! ...*blinks* I hope that made any sort of sense..)

    The policy of 'If you're gonna die, take as many as you can down with you' might apply here...

    Because the name 'The only part of America worth a shit' was too long, so we shortened it simply to America. As noted, it implies the same thing.

    Its a good policy. What's wrong with it? Why should anyone flourish if you're going down? If they (as in the other person/nation(s)) were worth a shit they could weather it.

    Mutually Assured Destruction.

    Unless the U.S. reforms, I highly doubt it'll last more than a century more. Reform is highly improbable until we look into the face of death.

    I still personally think it'll be something like the second season of 24, we get nuked on our own soil, and go off half cocked to retaliate and screw up.

    Either that, or we get in a war with China or Korea, or invade another Middle East terrorist riddled country and get in over our heads with people who have nothing to loose by fighting in ways we'd shudder to think of.

    I hope you aren't including me in that we. Nothing makes me shudder. In fact, whatever you're thinking I probably have wished we'd do at some point.

    wishing a young child with c4 strapped to their chests running into a church and blowing the hundreds of worshippers to kingdom come? Actually that's being mild but I don't wanna go overboard with graphics


    You've wished that?

    as long as the church is filled with the catholic priests who get off wearing their stupid hats and touching the altar boys I'm not against it either.

    I'd be happy doing it to any church really... I'm not going to single out Catholics, pedophiles, priests, or any combination thereof. I would however qualify that with, I wouldn't mind as long as it was someone elses kid.

    Your ethics just inspire me to be a better person.

    (but I can't really say I don't agree with you...)

    I'm scared to think what the hell the retards in Wall street panicing over the Hurricane Rita hitting oilfields in Texas, and driving the price of oil futures through the damned roof, not to mention all the refineries that shut down do to the goddamned gas prices now.



    Reasons gas is so expensive: funny: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/gasprices.html

    Well, yes, we do need them, and already have prototype models for hydrogen fuel cell, and granted, hybrid cars use gas, but at 50 mpg. The problem is that the scientists can't get a lot of funding, because the big oil tycoons and gas companies keep getting in the way. I mean, if solar powered cars and hydrogen fuel cell cars become the norm, what do you think will happen to Mobil, Shell, bp, or others? They'll lose all of their money very rapidly.

    yep I've said it before here I think, if you research alot of the patents on file with the US gov as far as energy goes, you'll see alot of cool inventions there that could save billions each year if applied right... and the patent holder always ends up being either A)a large oil company, or usually B)The US government.
