what's with all this anti-war talk? it's so un-american. everything that we are thankful for today was attained by killing people. do you think we would have harnessed our independence in 1776 with a few well intended economic sanctions? i mean, i doubt if the british would have ran back to their country if we threatened to stop eating fish and chips.
and this great land of ours .... most of it was stripped from the possession of unassuming natives. sure it's great to visit family and friends in california -- and vacation in other western states, but this wouldn't be possible if we didn't murder a few thousand savages -- raped a few thousand of their women ... stole their land.
and what about the great world wars? if we didn't murder a few million of those foreigners our hot dogs would now be enveloped in sauerkraut. have you eaten sauerkraut? it tastes like shit. hell, there probably wouldn't be any hot dogs - just bratwurst. could you imagine a life without hot dogs?
if pacifists had their way in the 1940's there wouldn't be a jew left on the planet.
the problem with today's society is that the only real war fresh in their memories is the viet nam conflict. that was not a cool war. it ruined war for the rest of us.
saddam huessin could be our generations hitler. every single anti-war protester would have blood on their hands if saddam took out a few million people with a nuclear bomb. i say why chance it - besides, saddam looks like 95% of all other iraqi men. would we miss him -- or the other hundred thousand or so iraqis that we kill with a few hundred thousand missiles? i don't think so. people have no problem eating cows and chickens because all cows and chickens look alike. kill one, turn around, and there is another one staring at your face. the same can be said about iraqi men. okay, i admit that all iraqi women and children don't look alike, but hey, nothing is perfect.
so you believe violent video games result in increased violence and aggression among america's youth? if it were true, it would be a good thing (our military needs more violent people) yet i have to side with filmmaker michael moore on this issue. moore pointed out in his film "bowling for columbine" that canadians have the same violent television shows and video games yet their citizens aren't compelled to kill each other at the same rate that americans do.
would our country be safer with less guns? i don't think so. if i had 150 guns in my house the murder rate in the city where i live wouldn't change. you don't cure alcoholism by not drinking, you cure alcoholism by discovering why a person is compelled to drink in the first place. the liquor is the vehicle - it ain't the gas that fuels it. the same can be said about violence and gun ownership.
i say bring on the bloodthirsty video games and television shows like "cops" and "america's craziest and most spectacular car crashes"... our country thrives on violence ... and we are the richest, most powerful country on the whole fucking planet. why mess with a good thing?
