How close do you think this coming election will be?
The libertarian party has my vote.But then again maybe GW cause he has a backbone although I dont agree with everything he does he still has morals,common knowledge,and he sticks to what he says.
Flip Flop Kerry is a rich turd who does anything to get a vote.
That and since Bush has been in office "The Man" has not come for my guns.hence no new gun laws.
Sept the AWB will expire and I can put the bayonet back on the AK along with my folding stock.
So how close do you think this election will be?

Hitler always kept his word. He had a backbone, you need to be gutsy to try and take over the world and kill 6 million people while you're at it.
Just because someone stands up for what they believe in doesn't mean that belief is worth supporting.
And why the hell do you need a Kalashnikov? Seriously, why? And a bayonet? What are you going to use that for aside from killing people?

Man has a right to defend him/her/it's self from all sorts of threats.And well why settle for anything less.
A armed society is a polite one.
It just freaks me out that someone tells me what I can have as a firearm.

Hmm. I see what you mean. But still, I'd ban private gun ownership if it were possible.
As for the free man/slave thing, no, I believe free will and self determination characterise a free man more than ownership of copious amounts of fire arms.

Its not even that. Cubanfox just pointed out that robberbaron was praising GW for having certain values, which is fine, really. However, he then pointed out that maybe these values/traits aren't positive.
Believe me, I'm as tired of Bu$h = as you are.
Edit: What I was originally going to say was this:
Flip Flop Kerry is a rich turd who does anything to get a vote.
Bush is only slightly less rich and I have no doubt that he and Kerry would go to similar lenghts to get a vote. Believe me, if you see any difference between Bush and Kerry, you should get yours eyes checked to say the least.

No one said that Bush is Hitler. What was being said was that having certain traits doesn't necessarily make you a good person. It's fairly simple logic: Person A is proposed to be good because he has trait X. Person B, who is historically known to be a complete bastard, also had trait X. Thus, having trait X isn't necessarily conducive to being a decent person.
That type of analogy is completely valid.

AK's are OK, they are quite sturdy, they'll discharge while wet, sandy, and with 1/4 of their parts missing.
However, with a little aded TLC, I think a modern AR-15/M-16 is a better shooting weapon. better muzzle velocity, more rounds per minute, and more precise, especially at longer range. They also have the attachable grenade launcher.

AK's also have bigger rounds, capable of penetrating much more than an M-16. I've spoken to many people in the military here and even they admit the AK-47 is much more deadlier than an M-16, although those are more accurate.

No, it's applicable to non-essential traits, too. Trait X, possessed by persons asserted to be 'good' and persons known to be 'evil', therefore doesn't necessarily make a person 'good' or 'evil'.

Actually, round velocity has as much to do with penetration and power as size.
Both rounds can easily kill. Thus, I would prefer the more accurate round.
There are supporters of both weapons.

Actually, America is easily the world's largest exporter of food. California iteslf exports more food, and more varied food, than any single other nation. We won't be straving in 30 years, or 100. We have a significant surplus, even after export and domestic consumption. If need be, yields can be distributed domestically to the extent that they are required.
Nice try, Osman.

B) The question isn't whether its there or not, the question is will people be able to buy it?
C) It was not talking about a total collapse, it was in reference to Lucid's... I mean gummo's post about bread riots.
D) There will be bread riots long before there is actual starvation and, in the short run, the rioters may even succeed in gaining the concessions they desire.

A) Actually, yes, California is the world's 2nd overall larger exporter of food, 2nd only to the USA itself. China may export say, more rice (not even sure of that), but as for all foods together, California exports more. Also, as part of it's communist component, much of China's crops are distributed internally.
B) In a state of emergency, food in the US can be distributed very cheaply.
C/D) I would say that bread riots are something of factual communist russia more than the theotrhetical near-future USA. Another jhit against communism (and yes the USSR was communism, the communism of reality, not the pie-in-the-sky theorhetical utopia).

I could find anyone in the media spotlight that is frequently quoted, and eventually find a contradiction somewhere.
Besides, those two comments don't even really contradict each other. the fact is, he is a war president, i.e. he is a president at war.
At the same time, he concedes that no one wants to be a war president.
Again, not really contradictory.
And second, let's not spin unfortunate collateral damage with syntax that makes it out as if he specifically targeted women and children.
Why? Well, the WMD intelligence was obviously faulty, I admit that, but Saddam was in violation of security council resolution 1441 nonetheless, and America's post 9/11 policy of preemption was applied legitimately to the Ba'athist regime.

I think its pretty clear that the U.S. does not listen to the U.N. at all. Since it, along with Israel, vetoed almost all initiatives by other countries to limit "terrorism" and other things that could impede on U.S. hegemony.
U.S. arsenal does not contain weapons that could be considered terrorist. Such as depleted uranium shells, i don't think that would bode well for domestic morale if found out, and publicly reported.
Guess what, the U.S. is also the top importer of food. Which it recieves from starving countries like Haiti.

The name calling was just a rookie shake-up. It was done for fun. I look forward to discussions with new members.
I wouldn't go so far to say that Bush ever claimed to ba a pacifist per se.
As for the weapons choice, he really has to make the choice of safety for US soldiewrs, which is acheived through many means, one of those is using the most effective offensive weapons.
Incidentals such as collateral damage or lingering DU radiation are unfortunate byprducts of ootherwise just operations in Iraq.

Actually, DaCuBan, the US didn't listen to the UN in either case. Preemption obviously goes against certain UN philosophies, but we also acted on 1441 not beacause the UN told us to, but because they were paralyzed with inaction and stagnation, and rendered themselves inept, thus we proceeded to take action where the UN wouldn't.
