If I see you steal ten things from the store, does that give me permission to steal two?

No, because I don't shoplift...

I offer you the same apology that I offered Popcornbird...IF you can find out where I said that it was O.K. or in any way said that it was right for those prisoners to be treated that way, I will gladly post an apology to you and anyone else that is interested.

If you lived closer, I'd even offer to wash your car.

Get cracking!

I think you and George Bush saw the movie Love Story too many times. Love is never having to say you're sorry....

Be careful what you ask for, you might just get it!

I think the government is handling it very well. It is very important to communicate our disgust over this to everyone!

The American people shouldn't have to "handle it" at all....

If Bush & gang of a few advisors had not decided to invade
Iraq in the first place( for some yet unproven threats of WMD),
we wouldn't be in the mess we're in.

Does the USA really need Iraq's oil that bad? Or is this all a big
power trip by George W. at the expense of our young people.

Geez,
Explain 'unproved threats of WMDs' to the Kurds.
And wasn't it some young soldiers who misbehaved in the first place??

I really wish we did have Iraq's oil...I would not be paying two bucks a gallon for dead dinosaurs.


Want your car washed too?


P.S.

Liz,

Love means never having to say you are sorry.

I couldn't put my finger on why that slogan didn't sound right.....

And, she's not into men.

Neither am I.

So I guess Kylie and I are compatible.

That's disgusting what those individuals did. I'm not surprised at all, though. I can't even tell you how many times I've talked to soldiers who'd just gotten home and was so disappointed in the way they talk about war and death. I've met several guys and girls that just laugh about seeing people dismembered, and, even a guy that had a picture of himself standing clapping two dismembered arms together. Yeah, they're American soldiers, but, a lot of them are just young people, doing what a lot of young people do......being immature and ignorant.

Sometimes gallows humor is a way we have to deal with stuff like that. The day my dad died I went to the funeral home with my brothers.....We laughed thru most of the details.

When I apologized to the director she laughed and told us that it was O.K. most families came in and fought rather viciously during the process.

Eventually, you will sit down and say to yourself, "what was I thinking???"

I think we all would be stunned having to go thru what our soldiers have.

Oh yeah.......steal the resources of other nations just so it makes *our* lives easier. What about their lives? The oil is in THEIR land, and belongs to THEM, not us. We shouldn't be so greedy. You want it just so you don't have to pay 2 bucks a gallon? My goodness!

Lizbud, have I ever told you how much I love you? I agree with you on everything you've said........EVERYTHING.

I can understand using humor to get through bad situations. I do that myself all the time. I have had to leave a funeral because I knew I was going to start laughing at an inopportune time and didn't want to offend anyone (I was just remembering funny stuff about the person). But, I've known plenty of soldiers and veterans that have many stories about how they personally kept from losing their minds from all the horror they were witnessing and experiencing firsthand, and they were able to do it in ways that weren't completely disrespectful to living and dead beings.

I never said you said steal..........but you did say you *wish* we had their oil, and to take THEIR oil, would be stealing.

As to the apology, I'll pick it up when it shows up at the post office.

Richard, I haven't read anything offensive into anything you have said on this thread, just for the record. I think that we, as a group, just have to agree to disagree when it comes to political threads as we obviously don't all see eye to eye.

Thank you.

I admire everyone who has posted here and glad that we can have a spirited conversation about the ills of the planet.

I do know we all look at things from different perspectives, I have learned quite a bit from reading other people's opinion.

It is hard to see eye to eye with me at times.....Being tall has it's disadvantages.
