badmouthing our president

[habilis]

Evil what are you talking about? Are you trying to make fun of me? are you talking about my old AOL(AIM)screen name from 1991? If you are, take a look at what my last name is and you'll see where that came from. Otherwise the handle "Habilis" stemmed from the first tool-using homonid called Homo Habilis, just before Homo Erectus. Habilis is also the name of my electronic music experiment. I use only electronic equipment to make it, synths and sequencers, hence Habilis=Tool User. Go here if you want to download my music: http://www.bonkdown.com/habilis.html Or maybe you're talking about when I used to be a hacker and went by the alias sinkwh0le or sinkstyle. Either way, nothing's really that funny.

habilis,

I must be mistaken. I had an online friend with a very similar name, who not only shared your opinions but had a very similar writing style.

I used to debate with him all the time.
I was not trying to make fun of you, in fact, this is more of a compliment, since he was such a good friend of mine.

I lost touch with him a few years back, but I would have bet anything it was you. I was under a different screen name also.

back to the debate...

This thread is a microcosm of our modern world.

And even though there are MAJOR clashes of philosophy, I can appreciate you people greatly in the fact that you all stand for something. Give yourselves a pat on the back.

Look how beautiful it is that we can indulge in pure freedom and speak our minds. It's this very freedom that, as unfortunate as it is, is under assualt by radical Islam. Radical Islam has been on the rise for the last 30 years and if we leave these people alone, appease them, don't stand up to the bully on the world block, it just grows stronger.

10 years from now, maybe 20, if these radicals are left unchecked, as many people would have it, you can be assured that we would one day wake up to a few smoldering U.S. citys.

This really is a struggle that will take decades, like the rebulding of Japan and Germany. And if America has to be called "imperialists" to get this historic job done, I'll take that over a mushroom cloud. If we have to leave behind us a culture of Life, rather then the culture of Death that currently permates the middle east, then so be that. and Amen to that.

This is key in the fact that containment of Saddam is irrelevant, because he will pass these weapons on to the radicals in time, where they can smuggle them into the U.S. and be detonated.

If you gotta go to war, go to war with the USA. America is the best thing that ever happened to the world and the best thing that can happen to your country if you go to war with us. Look back and see.

When did the Supreme Court appoint you president? Paternalistic and xenophobic attitudes like yours are what created WWI and WWII. Are we destined to repeat the past?

I've been looking back my chair and still can't see what 'good' you are talking about.

Behind me I can see some of my books. Here are the titles of those concerning America:

- André Glucksmann, Dostoievski in Manhattan
- Tocqueville, Of Democracy in America
- Dictionary of Twentieth Century Geopolitics and Geostrategy Issues
- Theodor Adorno, The Authoritarian Personality
- Moisei Ostrogorski, Democracy and Political Parties
- Noam Chomsky, 9/11 - Autopsy of Terrorism, two Hours of Lucidity: Interview with Denis Robert and Veronika Zaracowicz, Manufacturing Consent (video)
- Howard Zinn, A People's History of America
- Zbigniew Brzezinski, The Grand Chessboard

I don't see this glazing 'good' you are talking about. Maybe you could give me some hints please.

A bit of humor humor can't do any harm: iBush 1.4, Oval Office simulator

Ugg, by god I hope we do repeat the past: The vast majority of us here in America think the obliteration of Communism and Nazism was a good thing, A repeat of that would be great don't you think? or no...

Toast. I have no desire to read socialist propaganda just as I'm sure you have no desire to read a pile of publications I can recommend to you. but I'll allow you to recommend one of those, your favorite, what is it? I'll read it no matter how much it hurts.
