I really need to type up CVI. But I've got a holiday and a film to be doing for the next couple of weeks.
Anyway, I'd go off track about piracy hurting the film industry, which just made $1bn in a month. Hmm, doesn't work.

Well, at the current rate, Bush and Blair both have to appeal to people born yesterday...

OK, how about we construct a wall around Ontario? Why not let the people of Quebec, Manitoba, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Ohio errect a huge great wall around you, and see what your reaction is. Would it be to keep you hemmed in, or to stop getting out? Then, of course, you should ask why they did that, and why they didn't pay attention to the rights of your fellow Ontarians.
It's fine and dandy to say ALL Palestinians are terrorists, for tywo main reasons:
1.) The US are funding, supporting, and arming the Israelis.
2.) They're a few thousand miles away, so why should you care?
However, what kind of worldview is that? Where is the section that happens to notice the Israelis are far from innocent victims? They're out there, but not listened to, let alone catered to.
And where were the acts of terrorism in Berlin, going back to that "point"? It was to stop people crossing over to West Germany, not blowing it up, so isn't a comparison. Same for the Alamo - the only reason that gets any attention is because it didn't have a back door.
The Great Wall of China was a last-ditch neccessity to keep out the roaming hoardes, who had a habit of sacking villages and leaving nothing alive - including livestock and pets - and building a wall was the only way to keep them back in the 14th Century. Are the Palestinians going to flood into Israel and kill every living thing they find if the wall is removed? I doubt it very much, somehow. But since Sharon clicks his fingers and the US come running to his aid, he can perpetrate any lie he likes. After all, it isn't as if Bush will send the troops in to Tel Aviv, is it? That's 20 million, highly valuable votes to be won or lost.
Oops, did I just say that?
Build a wall, you build a prison. Build a prison, you build a prison complex. Build a prison complex, the system that created it will be the target, rather than the walls.
Whilst waiting for my girlfriend in Borders last night, I grabbed a copy and the least ratchety chair available - and it was a pile of childish crap.
I didn't even have to get that far into it to realise this - inside cover has stuff about "After WWII, documentarians gave us the documentary (which, by the way, is wrong - great start). Rob Reiner gave us the mockumentary. Now, Michael Moore gives us the crockumentary." Put this together with the "Dude, where's your integrity?" jibe on the back cover, and the first chapter being a bitchfest - an open letter to Michael Moore, rather than Dubyuh, it left a bad taste in my mouth.
I mean, some guy can go around making playground insults, yet gets an advance and publishing deal which made him how much, exactly? Add to this the sales to the Bush Babies of the world, it smacks of opportunism, and no research. The fact that the jibes and so-called smart wording got boring real quick, and there was no substance after the name-calling, just galls me. Mostly because I live in the struggling writer stereotype, admittedly, but also because it gives another insight into the mentality of some people, and it's a view that is quite worrying. My £14.99 stayed where it belonged - in my bank account.

Can't we just organise some sort of cull? Anyone who'se first response to the name Michael Moore is "fat" should be castrated with their own tonsils, pulled taut. Either that, or make a sequel to Super Size Me - but eating McDonalds for a whole year, and they can't stop until their heart or the calendar year does.

Locals not happy? WTF is wrong with you? Previous to our army being there under "false preteneses" they were having weapons of mass destruction used on them by they own government. They were being mass murdered and tortured. They don't care why we are there, they are just damn happy we came. And if you don't agree, I think you should go live in North Korea- I bet you would be pretty damn happy if someone overturned their government then.
I know, what a waste - Saddam having all these WMD, and not having the good sense to use them to generally wipe out the people he didn't like in one go. Or those invading.
WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!
Do you know how pathetic, in an admittedly funny way, it is to see people backpeddling and say the US invaded for "humanitarian" reasons, while at the same time carpet bombing cities because they were there?
"Weapons of mass destruction used on them by they own government"? BULLSHIT. If the US Senate says the pre-war intelligence was a pile of horseshit, and MI6 withdrew their "evidence", doesn't that speak volumes to you? Here's a hint - there were no WMD to use on Iraqis to begin with.
Backpeddling to being murdered and tortured doesn't work, as there are plenty of governments around the world that do just that, but the US doesn't bat an eyelid. Unless they're cutting a cheque for them, anyway. It's the same as Bush's lamest attempt yet - they found fertilizer bombs in Bagdhad. FERTILIZER?!? I can go to a garden centre and find the apparatus to build a fertilizer bomb, so when will there be a full-scale invasion of Blooms of Bressingham?
As for living in North Korea - why should I live there? You're the gung-ho type, so why don't you borrow a tank and invade for yourself? After all, the people will be happy if you liberated them all by yourself, right? Why don't you just charter a flight out to Iraq, preferably not sneaking in at night with the landing lights off (like Bush and Blair do), and gauge public opinion. Preferably without a camera crew, who have access to editing facilities. Better take an interpreter, unless you want to guess what they're saying. Which, probably, will be the exact opposite of what they are saying.
Happy the US came. Oh, thank you America! Thank you for casually bombing and shoting innocent civillians by the truckload, then acting all upset when one or two of your troops get shot back at. Same goes for the UK and anyone else that joined in Bush's Bash at the Beach. What, expecting a little bias? The only regeime change that will happen that won't be staged for the cameras and operated like a puppet show will be the one in the US this November. As for Blair, he won't be calling for a General Election just yet, but by-elections should give him a hint. A few million, to be exact.

Well, I think you'll find that it comes off as very American, given the track record they have. Patriotic? Hey, they need to be concerned about their wellbeing - after all, you wouldn't want a Pinko to be in charge of Chile, would you? Imagine the problems that would cause.
Nah, someone with a proven military record would be a preferable choice, and work out better for all involved. Or is this for the "Dumb Things.." thread?

So, you don't think there's a connection between the Israelis building a wall, and Palestinians growing up hating Israelis?
God, the American victim complex is projected onto them, isn't it?

There isn't an Alglicised spelling of Al-Qu'eda, hence the seven thousand different spellings of it - I try and use as many as possible, just to keep it annoying.
Anyway, it seems Bush is managing to interfere with other nations (going with follow-up replies), as Australia have decided to bypass logic and create a missile defence system...even though they are several hundred miles from any nuclear missile's range capacity (which is only 500 miles), and not exactly heading up any lists for terrorist acts. But, hey, they're "with" Bush, aren't they?
Next up, Turkmenistan wants their own missile defence system, and the terrorists agree with Bush on one thing: "Where?!?"
"We decide to join the US in having a missile defence system, even though our country faces no danger whatsoever, as it's out of the range of any missile aimed at us by several hundred miles." - Australian Defence Secretary Robert Hill, selling out to the Bush cause.

Research it.
It's great to see just how scared the Stupid White Men are getting about 122 minutes of celluloid. Also, how stupid they're getting.
Think about it - they're making this film into a forbidden fruit. By doing this, more people will then seek it out to see what the fuss is all about, as there is the promise of danger from just seeing it. In other words, in trying to shut Moore up to stop causing (moral) panic, they are making him into a Martyr and, best of all, proving him to be right about the level of paranoia in the Bush Administration.
So, soon enough, his books will get the treatment of Farenheit 451, I assume? Hey, saves me a 1984 reference...

You use the same resources to put, or keep, them IN power, so why not just turn the tanks around 180 degrees? It's not that difficult - just move the lever to one side, and hit the throttle. After all, you can't castigate one dictator while accomodating another (Sharon) without looking a bit stupid.
I'm ignoring this for use of the phrase "towel heads."I stand by my statement of towel head as opposed to a few far less printable tearms I would prefur. Yeah, I will call anyone who wants to kill me, my familly, and you mearly because of the nation you are living in or the religion your parents taught you (and are willing to slaughter hundreds of thier fellow Muslims to do it) a lot of things, towlel head is one of the more generous tearms.
I've got plenty of white people wanting to kill me, kick the shit out of me, and whatever, and I'm white. All it takes is not looking like a townie clone and walking through Croydon at chucking out time is more like Shaun of the Dead.
Trying to justify your use of a derogitary term with generalised opinion doesn't help a cause, either. I'm sure there's plenty of Russians, Serbians, Mexicans, Chileans, Indonesians (the list will go on, BTW) who hold a grudge for various reasons, usually involving the US fucking around with their country, fucking it up, and fucking over the people that live there. So, how will you describe these people?
The staus quo was a lose lose proposition that would run indefinitly. Getting proactive, while expensive, has the best prospects for the long term intrests of the US and Iraq, oh, and Europe as well.
Yes, because everything is looking real rosy now, isn't it? And what proof do you have that it won't be an indefinate period needed to clean up and restabilise Iraq now? Although I find it interesting you place the US as the first most likely nation to benefit ahead of the so-called "liberated" country, and a continent you castigated half of for not agreeing with you, before freezing them out.
What the hell has that got to do with anything? The removal of the Baathist government allowed the removal of sanctions. Everone wins (unless you were one those countries that had clandestine deals with the government of Saddam).
So, placing those sanctions there in the first place didn't cause ill-feeling, which gave Saddam a hook to join people together in hating America? And, yes, the UK had clandestine dealings with Saddam (Arms to Iraq, anyone?), just like the US.
Removing a government will not remove the seed which led to the feeling - worst case scenario it will make it worse, as one insult replaces another. Scars run deep in these cases - most conflicts in the modern world are the result of long-standing hostile feelings. You have to look at the former Yugoslavia for a very good example of this. How many Governments, monarchies - even borders and identities - have been removed, yet still the region is shaky?
Hey, let's make a conspiracy theory: In removing a leader, is that a good way to wash your hands of any dealings, as you can bury the evidence underneath showy ceremonies of "handing over Sovereignity"? If not, boy was it a waste of time...
We are working on it. BTW in both opinion polls of Iraqis and and in US reports on most things, Iraqis are better off now than before. Notable exeptions include sercurity and electricity around Bagdahd.
Do you think that there would be an opinion poll shown to the US where Iraqis said they didn't think they were better off now? Then, of course, there is the question of who they were asking, where, and what was being done for them - not to them - for them. Forget about Bagdhad and Basra, where the US and UK armies are stationed, what about Fallujah, um-Quasr, Tikrit and all the other cities? Are they better off, left hanging in the breeze, or somewhere inbetween?
We've had this on this here board already. Read almost the same, actually - almost as if robots were posting it.
By the way, "hates America"? Great way to lie your ass off in a sad attempt to get butts on seats. Either that, or it reveals he actually does hate Wyoming...
