IRAQ time to smoke USA

i wholly believe that anything is possible in this unpredictable world of ours.. so as much as i would like to say that we have learned from past experiences, it's still possible that people be nearsighted while fighting hopeless and selfish causes.

 
Yea, I think desert warfare is a lot easier for us. Just fly the planes over and boom. No search and recon with infantry forces that are wet, tired, and wading through swamp where the enemy has a compelte advantage.

 
fuck the front door fuck the back fuck the government until they fuck you back, before you fuck them go fuck yourself.

in reply to Desert Warfare being easier for the U.S. I think we have done well with our expirences but its not proven. And besides we dont just fly planes over and drop bombs. We use the M1-A1 Ahbrams Tank in mass numbers to take out the ground troops we face. WE use many ground forces. ITs a team effort. The new armys motto is such a joke to what military services stand for. Its all about teamwork but thier motto is 'Be An Army OF one'

the point of the ads is that everyone has a defined role in the army, not that each person is fighting for themselves.

Yea hobojibber I know we don't JUST fly in and drop bombs. I just didn't think there was a need to state all of the obvious tactics. I just said we don't use infantry to nearly the extent it was required in the past.

 
plunging the rest of the world into panic and war is what's wrong with serving your own interests.

Tim does have a point with respect to collateral damage. There will be uprisings in other countries with Arab populations, and Turkey actually has a high population of Kurds. US action has led many to believe that this would incite the Kurds into violence for vengeance. Collateral damage is possibly a highly convincing prospect for no war. What the world needs is a giant battlefield, where everyone can just go fight... no collateral damage lol.

 
personally im a supporter of darwinism as applied to social, economic, and political circumstances...so if we're the fittest why can't we exercise our power. Only emotionalism clouds the clear understanding of a natural truth.

no but i can mean take their oil...

and by the way, just because the US has the most money certainly doesn't mean that it's the 'fittest' country. in fact, the US is the most out of shape nation in the world. if the average joe schmoe had to fight for his rights, chaos would ensue.

 
oh man...you just dont get it do you...

Dkr is right, most of you are idiots

And America is most definatley not the 'fittest' country. Perhaps the wealthiest and best at pushing their weight around but by no means the fittest.

Fittest isn't supposed to be taken literally in this sense. Our obesity rate is ridiculous. In this context fittest is what Tim described it as or, the ability to survive and largely influence an interdependant system of states. And whether you like it or not, we're right at the top. But yea, we're not the fittest literally at all.

 
at least someone understood that it wasnt literal...

'You never hear Newt Gingrich say: Now why dont these hos just back up off me. I mean let a player play'
 
ok, obviously i realized you were talking about fittest in the darwinian sense. i was trying to point to the fact that just simply controlling the largest amount of money in the world doesn't equate to being the superior nation.

 
what other country is better able to adapt to or manipulate its enviroment to suit its needs?

'You never hear Newt Gingrich say: Now why dont these hos just back up off me. I mean let a player play'
 
Every country in the whole damn world manipulates its environments for their own benifit. What the hell are you talking about fool?? Even third world countries do it, actually they probably do it better than you do because they care about it being there for any length of time, sustainable land for sustainable and continued resources. Not like the USA that are the worlds' single biggest producer of CO2 gas amongst other toxins and greenhouse gasses. Don't even try and say you're the 'fittest' nation, you're far from it.

And even if you are talking in Darwinian terms, who the hell do you think you are to claim that you're the 'fittest'/best race in the world? Did you know that the huge majority of your country is clinically obese?? Yeah, real fit aye. Another man once claimed that he was 'fitter' than all other races, know what his name was? Yeah, Hitler.

tim keep going. USA is not sustainable, we are just the biggest pricks with the biggest guns and the most imperialistic military. that's what Attitrash means by most 'fit'.

The world cannot support american consumption rates, doing things like encouraging china to integrate the use of cars is not a good idea.

supporting green technology and mass transit over highway development would be a much better way of using our resources.

we should be trying to lessen our dependance on others by promoting domesticly grown biofuels instead of going to war.

i could go on forever.

The US sucks. we could have so much potential but our leaders are soo curupt that i don't see much change happening... it has to happen in the public first.

be conscious, not oblivious.

Why am I coming across as an asshole Andy? Is it because I'm right??

America is turning to waste at the moment. The guy who said that the leadership is corrupt and that it's hindering progress is exactly right. America DOES have a buttload of potential, but no, it's stalling. And no, the world can't support your consumption, but why the hell should it? Why not integrate motor vehicles into China? It would help them emensly. The USA only cares because it makes things harder for them. A DAMN ARROGANT, SELF INDULGED NATION!

Yeah, a lot of the conservatives on the board (and yeah, i DO mean you SUPilot) seem very misinformed and brazen when they argue, but that comes from being far to the right. Well, Tim, you're coming off as the SUPilot of the leftists. You're brazenly demanding how evil and corrupt America is. Yet you're whole basis of why American's are assholes is because you've encountered some tourists. Also, you're bringing up strange topics with no call for them. What the fuck are you talking about 'Motor Vehicles in China.' If you are talking about us making vehicles there, what need do we need to do that? We have to take away the jobs of blue-blooded Americans to give someone else in another country that job. And if we did build there, you'd be bitching about how 'evil American institutions' hire these 'third world peasants' for pennies a day. If you're talking about selling vehicles there? China has just as much a part in keeping US products out. We import a shitload from them, yet they refuse to balance it out by importing from the United States.

Integrating motor vehicles into China would help them immensely. This comes from the same person who commented on the enormous C02 production that comes from America. Imagine if every person in china drove!!!! In Bangkok (sp?) motor vehicles are integrated just like any other city in the united states except their cars aren't as new and consequently not as environment friendly, people who work outside in the city have to wear those filtering mouth mask things. Snomaster wasn't even saying that. He was saying that we WERE trying to integate them into China, and that it was a bad idea.

Pollution wise, you do have to understand that America is a very large country. In a lot of European countries you can take a subway anywhere you need to (even 4 hrs across the country). America is very vast and this mass transit that works well for small countries can only be applied in densely ordered cities (which it is).

I actually have never heard of us trying to integrate vehicles into China. And if they are, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, because China wouldn't be purchasing bulky American vehicles, they'd be driving those small european creations. People driving in China equals even more oil consumption. If your ideas about oil wars are jaded right now, just wait until something like that would actual spur huge oil debates. I'd like to read whatever it was that the person who mentioned this read, cause I've never heard of it, and it doesn't make sense for it to be true, but hey if it is, let me see it.

 
Andy, I have met a lot of American tourists who're cocks, I've met a lot of non-American tourists who also suck so don't try and argue with that, it means nothing. All my arguements are supported and backed. I know a lot of people who have lived in the USA, people who do live there and kiwis on holiday over there. I see the USA on TV every day. I see a lot more non-biased news and information material from around the world than you do over there and they sure as hell don't think a lot of America either. And no I'm not just America bashing, there are a lot of countries I could make like comments about, including my own.

to be honest, i feel bad for some of the conservatives cause they are so under-educated. all of our problems have arisen in the last 200 yrs... do conservatives really think that we can continue this consumptive pattern and have society reverse things after it's too late?

why not try and be smart about things now.

we have the capacity to green our economy and not even sacrifice quality of living... if these fuckin oil heads didn't run this place!

a green economy would not even take jobs away, just merely shift them...

i agree with many things that libertarians say except for that the environment will be cleaned when it is economically feasible...

how about eliminate income tax and instead tax based on consumption and pollution and impact...

i am kinda rambling, i don't want to go to far, though i could, my major is environmental studies and policy. and also note that i understand that my ideals are different from what i believe to be publically acceptable, though it sucks.

*all hail to the mighty gods of snow*

 
It really is remarkable how many people think that. It's a shame that it is possible to do but it costs a bit of money so no one will ever do it.

I'm not sure what you mean by a tax on consumption, but that's exactly what sales tax is (for some reason though I think you're talking about the squandering of resources). I also thought that cities that don't meet the pollution standards of the government, don't get subsidies that they would otherwise receive. A tax based on impact? That seems pretty ambiguous and too subjective to be feasible.

If libertarians were really concerned about fixing the environment in the most plausible way currently, they really would push for using a lot of nuclear power. But alas people aren't educated enough to understand how safe it can actually be so this doesn't help fight the 'evil oilers' anyway.

The problem with a green ecomony is simple economics. Capital input versus profitable output. For the capital you put into running a green economy your output is significantly less, and hence less profitable. I don't see how there's a good way to maintain the economic state unless the government was able to subsidize losses due to the potential of using other fuels. And that's a ridiculous amount of money.

 
You're exactly right. It could still even be done profitably without government subsidy, it's just that people are greedy and would never willingly do it. Sucks.

the problem with my consumption/pollution/impact tax is that it is too subjective and some sort of bueaacracy would need to be in place to institute it.

my idea is not quite a sales tax, because my hemp jacket would have less or no tax compared to, say some petro-chemical jacket made by a chinaman, though both would have a similar retail price before any tax.

as i said before, i have ideals, but understand that they are not all politically feasible.

if anyone has an idea on how to make green taxes work, speak up. i want to promote sales of products that have limited impact and discourage sales of products that have larger social and environmental impacts (yeah, i'm a commy huh, not quite).

*all hail to the mighty gods of snow*

 
What about a tax on the materials themselves...? that way its passed on to the consumer only in products based off of the materials taxed.

Great, more taxes? That's a really cool idea....not.

I don't know about the US and Canada but over here we pay:

Approx 20% or your income as tax

ACC (Accident Compensation, Rehabilitation, Prevention etc etc service.) - levy

Petrol Tax

Deisel Tax

Tobacco Tax

Alcohol Tax

Road Tax

Interest Tax

Bond Tax

Inheritance Tax

and a whole lot more that I can't be bothered writing.

And the government wonders why we don't save for our retirement, hmph.

20%? That's all you pussies? Shit, its up to %55 in Canada, if you make above $100,00 or some shit like that. I think its %33 or suminm in The U.S.A.

But, yeah that does sound like as resonable solution as they come. The whole taxing-materials-needed-for-manufacturing thing.

Anyways its late and sometime this week I'll put up an article explaining my political philosophies. I bet you all can't wait.

Well if the manufacturing costs go up because of the taxation than the cost for the consumer will increase too. So it will still 'tax' the people, because their money won't be worth as much when it comes to buying manufactured products.

'You never hear Newt Gingrich say: Now why dont these hos just back up off me. I mean let a player play'
 
If only the 'enviromentally unfriendly' materials were taxed, then only the products using these materials would go up in price. Therefore driving people to buy more 'green' products because of the lower prices. I was taking the other side for once. Read my post for once instead of just dismissing it.
