You have no experiences of your own and you have shown no proof of anti-semtism being strong in France.Quote:

Your argument != good
It's not JUST about battling evil anymore than it is about NEEDING a good falafel in Baghdad or WANTING to secure the US from WMDs.
It's a conglomeration of a bunch of benefits - look. The Middle East is the most dangerous of all of the various political regions in the world. Saddam is the most dangerous single figure in the Middle East. He's not so strong, yet, that he can threaten our allies (/blackmail us). Iraq offers an opportunity to initiate real political change in the Middle East. THE OIL DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. If we needed the oil, we would have LIFTED THE SANCTIONS. That point is really, really, unbelievably simple. You people who are still listening to the war-for-oil-shit are deluding yourselves. The point is deeply dumb.
No, we're not going in there like crusaders to battle evil and liberate an oppressed people in any pure sense - it's not pure the way opening a door for some old lady is, no. But, wrapped up within the many political benefits this action offers is the real moral bonus of keeping a bunch of Iraqis from being slaughtered by an evil dictator.
Shit, I'd be willing to place money on that one. But it would be great if we did go try to help those other countries in need instead of forgetting about/dropping them like Afghanistan. However, I think going in there for oil is a DAMNED good reason. I just don't think we'll use that oil to help the Europeans (sans France and Germany) once we get it, which is saddening.Quote:
Look, I understand you want to have faith in your country. But you can't debate bbobb's point - that of all the countries to "liberate", Bush chose the one with a ton of oil. If, after this he goes in and cleans up Ivory Coast and Rwanda and other countries with no political or economic value where people are undergoing far worse suffering than anything in Iraq, then never mind. But I think it's safe to say he won't, so all this comic book gibberish about "battling evil" is a convenient excuse at best, and a flat out lie at worst.
Eh, well, 2004, unnamed Democrat hopefully stands a chance against our goofy President.
no way, the italian women wipe the floor with all of the other european women combined, this coming from an almost full blooded german, italain women win hands down.Quote:

I completely forgot my favorite thing about France:
France has the most attractive women in Europe, by far. I love French women - something about them, even the average looking chicks are still really hot.
Wah, wah, wah - the French that worked against the Nazis in WWII were a minority. Not surprising that the French recognizing and working against anti-semitism will continue to be a minority today. They're out there, and we appreciate them.Quote:

I leave Asians to others on these here forums... but I can do Indian.Quote:

Eh, I don't find 'em that attractive on the whole. I personally like women with skin darker than mine. You know, women of African descent, Indian chicks, and Asians even though they are sometimes more pale than myself.
Especially the Asians. Heh. (Or my woman might think I want to leave her for a half African/Indian girl.)
;)
You're fucking pathetic.Quote:

Still waiting for that proof btw. The topic is close to 100 replies and you've still failed to provide any.
If you insist.Quote:
