Done in the right way, yes, the coalition presence can be beneficial.
As is evident, some americans know little to nothing about the state of european affairs, although this might have something to do with people simply not caring about anything other than 'close to home' affairs.
Conservative Republicans can sometimes, on rare occasions, summon up an intelligent argument. However, these incidences occur rarely, and usually, when corrected, retort with the kind of response you'd expect from a 12 year old.
As for arabic terms and quotes, you could try Telhasi Teesee - which means 'kiss my arse'.....i know more turkish slurs than arabic ones though.

It's unfortunately the price you have to pay sometimes for daring to state an opposing viewpoint. However, don't become disheartened, because rep can be regained through intelligent posts in the other sections. I got plenty of positive rep for stuff said outside of the 'off topic' section - and you're low on the post count, so its not like your rep cant be rebuilt.
If the disagreeable opinion is based on anything other than fact, and the outcome of said "opinion" causes the US to leave Iraq before the job there is finished , then by definition the action resulting from the opinion makes all the lives lost in Iraq worthless. That is stabbing in the back all those dead soldiers and their families.Kai said:

My point was not to chastise anyone for voting democrat, but to point out the CONSEQUECES of voting democrat from the terrorist's point of view.Kai said:
After you called my president who has an undergrad degree from Yale, an MBA from Harvard, and a GPA of 2.5 a retard repeatedly, I'll take that as a complement.How many ivy-league degrees do you have that you can call him a retard? Do you even know what allah akbar means? the full phrase is "Allahu Akbar min kulli shay" which means "God is greater than everything".I don't see how that makes me ignorant, intolerant, offensive and crude.Maybe it's because I believe in God? Maybe it's because MY opinion differs from yours? Can you say HYPOCRITE? Of course you brits have a long history of belittling people who advocate war. Who was that guy you pilloried for wanting to drag britons into the last war......Oh yeah, Winston Churchill. He warned you about those peace loving nazis, and was roundly criticized. Maybe your current govt. follows US around like sheep because they are grateful for the 16,112,566 American servicemen and women who were killed saving you from Hitler.Kai said:

you can, however, interpret a potentially positive quantity in a negative manner.

Bush got into those schools because his dad was president, not because he deserved it. oh, and 2.5 GPA means he's a C student, which is not good.
i wish we could see his IQ.
Bush's dad was president in 1973????bonus12 said:
I thought Richard Nixon was president then. What an idiot I am!
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!
I hold two degrees actually, a 2:1 Honours degree from London Metropolitan University in Law and a Masters degree in Law from the same - so i can in all fairness call Bush a retard. To be fair, i do concede the point that he's portrayed in a less than favourable light over here - in terms of the fact that he's only ever shown saying or doing something stupid. Like being unable to pronounce NUCLEAR properly.
When it comes to pulling out troops - of course, you stay behind and finish the job as best you can, but to stay on longer and longer causes animosity with the local populace, and you'll lose all support. The cost of going to war in Iraq was high, and continues to cost lives, we've lost people as well, but i for one do not believe for one instant that people voting for the opposition will be stabbing people in the back, for the simple reason that if the opposition did come to power, an immediate withdrawl would cause too many lasting repercussions and cast aspersions on their ability to rule anything - sure people are stupid, but that stupid? Really?
I was aware of what 'Allah Akbar' means - i had an arabic next door neighbour for nigh on 17 years. It was the way in which you used it that caused me to look upon it and regard it as both ignorant and offensive.
As for bringing up the whole World War II stuff, don't even go there. Do you realise that we were fighting the war 2 years before you got off your isolationist arses and joined in? Battle of Britain - ever heard of it? Ever heard of the OTHER military forces that were involved such as the Canadians, Australians, Free French Forces, French Resistance and Polish pilots?
I am NOT saying that the US did nothing - i am saying that the US only chose to get involved for its own ends - realising that after Europe fell, the US was next on hitlers agenda. Had Hitler not pushed into Russia and overextended his forces, things could have been very different indeed, and US involvement wouldn't have been able to stem the tide of Nazi Troops. Also, i must point out to you that more Soviet soldiers died in WW2 than Americans.
Your figures are also off. In WW2, American KIA's were registered at 462,016 out of 19,753,659 in service. In contrast, 580,000 British & Commonwealth KIA's were registered out of 11,500,000 in service - making our losses as a percentage and in terms of individuals lost higher than yours, but still beneath the russian servicemen which stands at a whopping 10 million KIA's out of 34,476,700 servicemen. Need i continue?
Tony Blairs reasons for following the US around baffle even the politicians and populace of this country - to pin it down to any reason would be assinine.

I knew you would bring up WWII again. For the record, regardless of what you think, the US didn't have to get off of our "isolationist arses" and joined in. So Hitler dominates Europe including Great Britain, he can not invade us because there's more than a little bit of water between the the two continents. To make an assault on our shores, there would be weeks between the first wave of troops & the second. Don't kid yourself into thinking that the Nazi's were anything more than an economic threat. That ain't happening.
You paint a pretty picture for the British & an ugly one for the US, but to set the record straight, 72 of the 85 allied divisions that fought in fortress Europa were AMERICAN divisions, so yes, WE won the war to save your asses. Additionally, when the British did field a division, they were equipped mostly with AMERICAN equipment...
i wish i were a mod so i could lock thise bullshit threads. everyone is going to have their own oppinion. that's what america is, a democracy. if everyone thought the same, we would be ruld by one dictator, end of arguement.
to judge someone by their political standpoint alone is the most retarded thing anyone could do.

You could just ignore the thread. Just leave it alone if you don't want to participate....
thesandymancan said:
i agree
i don't think anyone in this thread believes someone will change another's mind here. perrsonally, though, i enjoy debating political topics.
thesandymancan said:
again, i agree. stop with the neg rep. i have four red blocks for unjust reasons.
bonus12 said:
I'd be willing to bet the majority of the neg rep you received was for your political view, but rather for your damning, yep unestablished, statements towards the military.
Recieving negative rep for a political view is just stupid - it ends up like a playground fight. As for someones opinion about the military getting negative rep - equally stupid. Is it MANDATORY for someone to like or even support the military?
thesandymancan said:
Exactly, this thread has degenerated from political discussion, into a 'let pick on bonus12 for having differing opinions' thread - totally rediculous :/
bonus12 said:
I'm sorry, but you have just proved that your opinion is no longer worth shit.
What were we doing to the terrorists on Sept 11? Thats right.....nothing.
Dumbass.
EDIT: BTW I think neg repping is stupid for a dissenting POV, but I understand it for making disparaging comments about the wonderful people protecting us.
And bonus12, iono if it was on purpose but you gave me Positive Rep for a time when I bashed on the Dems a few days ago. Of course, it was worth about 20 points, but it was still kinda funny.
