hugo Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 From Milton Friedman The two ideas of human freedom and economic freedom working together came to their greatest fruition in the United States. Those ideas are still very much with us. We are all of us imbued with them. They are part of the very fabric of our being. But we have been straying from them. We have been forgetting the basic truth that the greatest threat to human freedom is the concentration of power, whether in the hands of government or anyone else. We have persuaded ourselves that it is safe to grant power, provided it is for good reasons. Fortunately, we are waking up. We are again recognizing the dangers of an overgoverned society, coming to understand that good objectives can be perverted by bad means, that reliance on the freedom of people to control their own lives in accordance with their own values is the surest way to achieve the full potential of a great society. Quote The power to do good is also the power to do harm. - Milton Friedman "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." - James Madison

wolvesslasher Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 The US Army.... Mess with the best, die like the rest. Ah! Ha! Ha! That's the funniest thing I have ever heard!! The best army doesn't need to rely heavily on Hi-tech long range weapons. The best army fights like men instead of relying on bombs being dropped from the air. Any country can waste billions of dollars on their army, it doesn't mean that their army is the best. So far in Iraq, the army has killed more innocent civilians than Terrorists, not exactly something the best army would do. Over 2000 Us army soldiers dead in Iraq, some of them were killed by their own soldiers, again, not something that would happen in the best army. Us soldiers rapeing and murdering defenseless women and children, going on a killing spree breaking into houses and murdering families because the soldiers are too chickenshit to deal with armed civilians and terrorists. So yeah, I guess you are right, mess with the "best"(Ha! Ha!) die like the rest of the defenseless women and children. Quote

What the fuck do you think Iraqi soldiers would behave like if the shoe was on the other foot? If they were here in America? Kicking in a door and murdering an entire family would NOT be an isolated incident. It would be standard protocol. You have way over dramatized American military misconduct. When you consider the horror and violence that we have subjected our young men to, its understandable that bad things happen. Over 2000 Us army soldiers dead in Iraq, some of them were killed by their own soldiers You know nothing about military operations, and its grossly obvious by ignorant statements like this. Collateral damage and friendly fire are a part of any major military operation. So far in Iraq, the army has killed more innocent civilians than Terrorists An Iraqi child = future insurgent. Nipped in the bud. These people are fucking twisted into a culture that embraces death. The worst thing America could do right now to the Iraqi people? Leave Iraq and let the animals have at it. They would tear each other apart. Fucking animals! Quote i am sofa king we todd did.

The best army fights like men instead of relying on bombs being dropped from the air.Earth to dip-shit... the best army is one that prevails over her enemies. Ever heard the phrase "To the victor the spoils" or "All's fair in love and war"? The best army is the one that raises her countries flag over the battle field at the end of the day. Any country can waste billions of dollars on their army, it doesn't mean that their army is the best. 1) Not just ANY country, it takes a country that actually HAS the billions of dollars to spend on defense. 2) You're quite right, the best army is not nessessarily the one that has the most money spent on it (although it does seem to help), the best army is, again, the prevailing army of a conflict. So far in Iraq, the army has killed more innocent civilians than Terrorists, not exactly something the best army would do. Over 2000 Us army soldiers dead in Iraq, some of them were killed by their own soldiers, again, not something that would happen in the best army. 1) Al-Queda has killed more civilians in Iraq than the cohilition forces have. 2) The "Best Army" may have taken casualities from it's own, mistakes happen in all actuions of human endeavor, war is no exception... Unless you are stupid enough to believe that some military force somewhere has never made a mistake and killed some of it's own. Quote The first amendment provides our constitution with its voice. The second amendment provides its teeth.

Msixty Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. ~John Stuart Mill Never, forget this quote if you wish to live free Quote Your stupidity is My weapon WARNING! my mood and mental state are strongly influenced by music and T.V./movies..... i may seem the slightest bit insane.. just don't let me watch my favorite show and or listen to my music and it will all be alright.
