    Ok, i thought you were suggesting more of a cult of personality / single individual manipulating a population-type theory.

    You're going more with a "there's a subset of humanity, (which is greater than one or two in a given society, but still less than a sizeable proportion), which are **** and are behind wars & acts of agression."

    WWI lacked the individual component, which is why I asked.

    I can get behind the more general one.

    This is just in....Michael Brown, previously with FEMA, is in charge of US citizens evacuation plan from Beirut.















































    well, it might as well be.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    speaking of involvement, they say hesballah (sp) was furnished arms by iran. and we have helped to arm isreal. are we already both involved in the world's eyes? damn, i just hope things don't continue to escalate. and hopefully no other nations get involved, unless it's by way of diplomacy.

    Yeah, I know that there have been stories of criminals on meth taking an entire clip of 9mm ammo while still fighting, but a shot with a taser gun can take them down instantly. Is that true?

    Yes. It's not about the pain (although it's a beeyotch) it actually freezes up the muscles to where you are disabled. It can't be fought off. The Taser automatically sends a 5 second cycle but when it ends there are virtually no residual effects. Some of the tougher ones will get back up and then I just have fun pressing the trigger again.:D That usually is enough.

    Ha, yeah, I knew that about the taser, trust me I felt it! Never again! Amazing some people need to break the law to feel that kind of pain, and all I had to do was lose a lousy drunken bet with some friends. :rolleyes: :p

    Have you ever heard about people that have had to be shot while all lubed up on meth that wouldn't drop?

    i don't know why, but when 911 happened, WWIII never crossed my mind. not even when we took our battle to iraq. now i hope i am so terribly wrong for feeling it, but i got a wierd feelin' about this current situation. i sure do hope i am wrong.

    I dont give them enough credit to come up with a plan that good.

    I think theyre a bunch of barberic animals kind of like a big stupid junkyard dog that attacks mindlessly. I think these scumbags in hezbollah were just doing what they always do thinking Israel would just take it like they always have.

    Both sides are so dirty you can't say either is right or wrong. Israel has had plenty of terrorists, going back many many years to when they were trying to kick the British out of the area.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehi_%28group%29

    So they resorted to plenty of shady practices to "take back the land that the bible says is theirs", but the Arabs are the crazy religious nuts. :rolleyes: Right, it's just that black and white, no shades of gray.

    Both sides are dead wrong.

    And this nonsense with the two soldiers was just another excuse. Both sides keep claiming they only do what they do as retaliation for what the other guy did last time. Going back before most of us were born. So if you pick up the story at any given point you can give sympathy to either side. And of course the corporate, mainstream media gives their one- sided view every night on every newscast. So it must be true. I saw a 60 second wrap up of what happened last week, it's all very clear now...

    And as far as nukes go, who is the only country to ever drop them on others? I would think that's the country that can't be trusted with their finger on the button. :D
