governments lie about death statistics The Japs dont record dead infants who die in the first week after birth

Posted in Politics at 7:30 pm by Michael Johnson

gopp i dont think he ever said that, but you stated your opinion the other way

youve all been duped

why dont people in Iraq erecord deaths and get certificates?to keep ollecting any pensions?

per Alphonso Caso, late curator dept antiquities Museum of the University of Mexico and discoverer of the tomb of Tecal in hsi work Zapotec People of the Clouds.. on estiamting grain production based on irigation systems, pegged the population of Mexioco proper in 1500 as apx 50-60 millions

thanks for the post, scrolled back. Didn’t know that.

gopp.. didn;t sya it was… tho obviosuly its down to Bush fucking up the occupation

ManKind could not back it up

timur.. np

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6040054.stm

the study claims they ALL get death certificates :-)

get a life gopp

Justinfra so bush fucked up the occupation hello it not an occupation so he didn’t fuck it up you idiot

but none of them ever get “recorded”.. so they are being handed out like candy.

it’s not?

in 1560 the knwon population of indians was somewhere around 5-6 millions

Justinfra it not a fucken occuption

gopp why do you get so personal? whats with the personal attacks? have you heard of a civil debate?

ok, 150000 troops isn’t an occupation, but just looks a lot like one.

get through your skull you liberal motherfucker

Upgrade to Firefox 2.0… Or be destroyed!

lol

Timur and you suppported it

how many years is occupation?

are we still occupying Germany, Japan or South Korea?

well, see, at this point, argument with him’s kinda pointless

lupine.. according to the John Hopkins University researchers the health ministery was only recording some of the death certificates even beofer the invasion

Timur you supported going in to iraq

that’s right, I did and do. But it’s an occupation.

e-her: FF 2.0 is still a pre 1994 paradigm.. so I’ll pass.

Timur bull shit we are not taking over iraq

gopp you are delusional. take a break and check yourself

do people get death certificates on themselves in order to change their identities?

occupation of an enemy state isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

pre-1994? What are you talking about?

yes it is

gopp is dumb

the Cavasa De Baca journey throug what became the US toppled some 8 civilizations inculding the Mound Builders of Ohio and the Mississsippian Culture. Estiamted as piopulations as high as 40 millions or more

Timur it wrong, we are taking saddam out

spends too much time on the internet

and we are giving iraqi back thier country

e-her: NT4.0 multi processor/multi instance

Really, Pilgrim?

debauched.. i think people need death certificates to get insurance paid out and compensation

we’re not right, but we should have, and to do so would’ve required about double the troop strength. We didn’t do it, so we don’t control it, and now we’re probably gonna leave in 1-2 years.

9 UTC 2006 i686

How many men did he have with him?

right, but remember, there is NO record of the death certificates.. so they’re never turned in for compensation

tell me, what is this new paradigm shifted web browser that shall incentivize us to revolutionize our synergies through world-class technologies?

Timur I don’t think we need double the troops

we have enflamed the muslim world

whats your plan

with lust for freedom

lupine.. thats a non sequitor… u think Iraq has a working beaurocracy?

all Pizzaro’s Incan experience and the general S American die off and you get a death tole well inexess of 100 million

e-hernick: it aint a “new” paradigm, its old, from 1994 for regular PC’s. [ earlier for unix work stations ]

we .. took him out, and we’re not ‘giving Iraqis back their country’, because there is no real polity known as ‘Iraqis’. There are three distinct and mutually hostile polities we’re trying to stop from killing one another, with .. not great success.

td` no need to say it the current plan

no, at this point, doubling the troops would be way too late.

you can’t explain away a half million and 98% like that

yeah, but I’m asking you what the superior alternative is?

we should’ve done it from the outset.

gopp so what do you think about Bush’s estimate of around 30k civilian deaths since the invasion?

e-hernick: told you, support multiple process/instances

lupine.. 98%?

but it’s water under the bridge now

sure, does such a beast exist that is a better web browser than firefox?

Opera

also, I run multiple instances of Firefox.. Firefox has no problem running multiple instances if you have multiple profiles

governments lie about death statistics. The Japs dont record dead infants who die in the first week after birth, so their infant morality sats are fraudulent. Likewise, the Jap Police dont record caases where a father murders his family and commits suicide as being a murder case. I wonder what other stuff they cover up, like Yakusa murders?

e-hernick: yes/no. it is #1 hack, #2 has shared memory between them #3 all plugins are shared

“‘Stay the course’ means keep doing what you are doing. My attitude is: Don’t do what you’re doing if it’s not working — change” — President Bush Oct 11, 2006

which is why if one gets nuked, the rest are affected

anyone wanting to follow the debate on the John Hopkins/Lancet iraqi death rate survey might want to look here.. its an aussie computer scientist’s blog http://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/

mankind “stay the course” was as opposed to retreat

Firefox DOES need soem add-ins to make it surperior

sigh

o_O

no, no, I’m talking about multiple instances, not multiple windows. I personally run multiple instances of firefox that are completely independent. If one crashes, the others don’t. I don’t even run the same plugins on each instance.

this one in particular https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3471/

an aussie computer scientists blog? is he a epidemiologist

and the Jap gov wants to have a treaty to stop private ownership of firearms worldwiode. This confirms my impression that only criminals dont want people to have weapons

Some nerd’s blog?

e-hernick: ah, you must have the magic release, that no one else does

lupine… nope.. but have a look anyway

Man oh man.

MOZ_NO_REMOTE and the profile manager lets you run multiple instances that are completely separate, running in separate processes it’s been supported for a very long time

yea, its a hack and it doesn’t work very well

you can even run multiple versions of firefox side-by-side. Right now I’m running 2.0 and 1.5.0.7

debauched upp till quite recently, insurance comapnies would not write on 2 and younger

yes, that is one way you can actually do it. of course, then you have two browsers that behave differently.. not very elegant

in Japan? then their acturial tables are skewed

in the US

err actuarial hm

so what’s your browser of choice?

e-Hernick you can also log into windows multiple times, and have seperate processes.. still a kludge

so you casnt get a burial insurane policy on an infant in the US?

e-her: I typically use Maxthon with a special labview datasocket plugin

debaunched unknown, but prolly not

there is something wrong with my bloody spelling tonight

costs $75 for a private cremation for a dog.. another $50 for a fancy box. how much more $$ do you wish to waste?

Well, the way I see it, the browser has become a platform for add-ins, extensions and plugins.

why cremate a dog when u could sell the body to a hungry Korean family?

I can see where they might not want to give out a $100,000 policy on a neonate, but $5000 to cover a funeral isnt suspicious

it cost 40 bucks to put down a cat last week and I buried her myself

Firefox by itself is nothing impressive, but one you’ve customized it heavily.. Well, there’s nothing quite like it. uFirefox by itself is nothing impressive, but one you’ve customized it heavily.. Well, there’s nothing quite like it./u

odd…

and they base the premiums on the death rates, so they ccvant lose money on the deal

pilgrim`: are you such a pussy can you cannot terminate your own cat?

glock.. wow.. u are doing some research.. why don’t u have a quick scan of the articles here? http://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/

heh.. the same peole who bitch about how they want a plain-jane email with NOTHING added.. loves plug ins

pilgrim`: decapitation is easy and painless for the cat..

um… blogs?

e-Hernick I have killed 4 dogs and 3 cats.

pilgrim`: you vicious animal murderer!

Tesco has been forced to remove a pole-dancing kit from the toys and games section of its website after it was accused of “destroying children’s innocence”.

this one my ex and son were there, it seemd prudent to do it the “clean” way

glock… won’t do u any harm to look http://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/

yes actually I am a murderer others have used to termiante THEIR pets

Justinfra… yes it can do me harm to waste my life.

I only accept the views of Tesco has been forced to remove a pole-dancing kit from the toys and games section of its website after it was accused of “destroying children’s innocence”.

pilgrim`: what’s your favourite method of execution?

oops.. bad paste

glock… hmm.. reading opposing view points that are carefully argued and well researched is wasting yoru life?

e-Hernick when it comes to deaths from bullets and bombs, I only accept research done by those who specialize in disease epidemics

Lupine…lol did it include a stripper?

3Abusive domain or user

You’re an animal assasin

only in Amsterdamn

I worked my grandad’s ranch. there was a rural off ramp from the freeway there. People would drop of little fido int he country to “live off the wild” When checking the cattle int he bottom land I would carry a rifle and shovel…to take care of their fuckign stupidity!

Justinfra… no, reading unsubstantiated claims on blogs is.

or in Vegas

such as.. the lancet?

Almost every view I read is opposing to my own in some respect.

pilgrim..I take it little fido posed a threat??

Glock2l what news source do you trust?

You killed healthy animals?

Epidemiology is the scientific study of factors affecting the health and illness of populations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemiology

I hated that. a obviously domestic, once loved and scared dog, and I have to be the god damn executioner

ManKind… none

DKL…thats different

ok then, where do you get your information?

those animals were trespassing… they had to die trespass = death

Cry ferral dogs and cattle are a bad mix

ManKind… for what exactly?

A livestock hereder can exterminate any animal threatening his herd…

You can easily give it to the SPCA, or (even better) humane society

Speech transcripts? Document reproductions?

easily? Do you know how risky it is to catch a wild dog?

that herd is his livelihood

ferral dogs are worse than wild wolves normally

once when I was in a veterinary hospital I noticed they had bottles of some med called Euthanasia B on the shelf, with a injection cap on it.

Supreme Court Opinions?

yep

DKL you from the USA?

Well, obvisouly if it looks like it’s going to hurt you, then yea, you do what you have to do

out west…they have some rather odd laws

the name Zyklon-B was taken

an it is city folks with no belly for their ultiamte responsibility and a car to get them away fast who are the true criminals there

I should get myself reclassified as a livestock herder, so that I can slaughter dogs at will by claiming that they are threatening my herd.

Lupine heh

But if you have an animal just sitting there, and you can get to it, it’s a bit more humane to give it to a society Then just killing it

when Californians stated invading Colorado…they found out some of them were still in force

e-hernick: eh? if I see a dog I dont like in my yard, I’ld shoot it

debauched its a trade name

are you a rural farmlander?

ManKind?

actually, feral animals rarely are allowed to be for adoption

a ranchers livelihood is his herd…

there was a punk group called Zyklon B

Wow, people are really assholes to animals these days Heh ..

debauched..I have ome of their music

e-Hernick nope

look, these are rural farmlanders we’re talking about.. Out there, the rules aren’t the same as in the city

I was. I was a true asshole to the animals some wimp let go on our ranch

german punk band

yeah, I think it was an insecticide

when I used to play Unreal tournements, I often used Zyklon-B as my name

nazi ?

rahter inflammatory

I used to enjoy using a 22swift on prairie dogs and goffers part of the effect

it was the gass they used in the death camps

so you’re saying that if one day, while you’re quietly sipping tea in your suburban backyard, and the neighbor’s dog crosses the line that marks your territory, you’ll draw your twin-barrel shotgun and shoot the beast down without warning?

e-Hernick: In the burbs’, that can land you jail time (easy)

e-hernick: #1 i dont live in suburbia #2 I said if I didn’t like the dog

Not in Texas where do you live then?

glock.. sounds like a good argument for looking at lots of different view points.. hmm.. heres’ one for you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemiology

depends.. if it was threatening in any way you often can defend yourself, or others. i.e. small children

and this http://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/

“I didn’t like that dog, your Honor… It was… unlikeable!” “It’s coming right for us!”

I guess it’s death for your pets if they happen to get out by accident, too many people willing to pump them full of lead, or poisin, or sharp objects I would have to say, if you get a pet you better make damn sure they don’t get out

Glock2l you can’t get all of your world/national/political news from supreme court decisions and speech transcripts

and then there are cat burglars..

e-hernick: put it this way.. on 3 occassions in the last half year, I *COULD* have shot/killed a gator legally. instead, I just used bear spray on it, so it would leave.

a gator? damn

I ssaw this lame doc on oi groups, they have concerts where the venue was announced at the last moment

yea, last one ~2 weeks ago was a massive male, gotta be 14 footer.. with a smaller female

Justinfra… I’m not sure how being opposed to limiting oneself to certain info (or disinfo) outlets is a good argument to justify trusting information from blogs in any way… wiki is one of my favorite sites, not for reliability but for wealth of information.

NO WAY am I going to allow them to nest in my yard

so if you don’t live in the city, in rural farmland, or in suburbia.. where do you live? In the marshlands?

e-hernick: I am rural, non farm land :P

ManKind… can’t get it from any one news outlet, except in a filtered dumbed down form.

Glock2l WTF is a wealth of information if you call it all unreliable?

oh, CNN is now running a critique on the Democrats (I think) caleed Two Left Feet

frankly, im’ in the middle of nowhere woods on teh bank of a lake

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=412172

if you kill a gator, can you skin it and make yourself a handbag?

glock.. who said anything about limiting your info? i suggested that deltoid blog because ti has reasoned debate from both sides of the argument

e-hernick: yes/no. You have to call it in before moving it

the brits burn aborted babies in an incinerator nice

Justinfra Glock2l is too busy denying you to go look, dont take it personal

oh, you have to call the government every time you kill a gator?

ManKind… I didn’t say wiki was unreliable, I said it was one of my favorites, but not for reliability… merely noting that the information *can* be unreliable at times.

the oi groups had more band members on the stage than people in the audience

e-hernick: yes, as it is still listed as protected species i think its protected.. no longer endangered that’s to stop them from hunting out of season really

mankind… i am not kidding myself.. most people chat in political rooms to rinforce their own prejudices.. but I like to try and shame some people into a little research

i hear you Justinfra

they were constantl shooting up their hands in a Nazi salute, but didnt hold the salute because they were concerned with being prosecuted. It was really pathetic

are we talking about 15 feet gator here?

e-her: the big one was ~14.. but any size really, if its threatening you

ManKind… but as far as political news, I go to westlaw/findlaw/sc’s website for supreme court opinions that people are talking about… get speech transcripts from washington post or c-span, among others where available and what not, etc.

personally, I chat in politics rooms to challenge my own prejudices… not saying I’m going to change my mind.. but I like to be force to think a little

and you got close enough to that gator to spray it? that’s brave.

e-Hernick most people call and have a local trappder deo it for them

I wouldn’t have approached it..

e-her: oh, a good 20 feet or so

damn.. I hear gators can run at 30MPH.. aren’t you scared of being killed first?

The CNNs and FOXs type news are interesting for what the popular culture items of the day are.

I get up in the morning, look in the mirror, say; “I am a republican, and the root of all evil is the democratic party”, then go about my day. It’s a [GREAT] daily affirmation!

Justinfra i am here for discussion, unfortunately it never turns out to be a productive debate over issues. it comes down to name calling and “i have libs so i am going to ignore you” bullshit

Justinfra: it’s better to challenge your ideas alone; rather then come into a room for debate unarmed. then/than

e-her: they rarely ever charge on land, unless you are messing around with them

But they rarely have much information in them.

e-Hernick the reality is, they dont want to be bothered but yea, I have my .44mag with me when I see em :-)

doesn’t “spraying them with bear repellent” count as “messing around with them” ? oh

mankind.. i am just making the most of the fact I haev been hre for over 30 minutes without getting booted by some biggot

I wake up every day and I say to myself “I am going to be the baddest assed mofo in town today” and it always comes true.

why is it so hard to accept that U.S action in Iraq has killed hundreds of thousands

Justinfra all the biggots are sleeping

Politician X said “such and such” today and Party Y said “omfg”… meh.

well, all the biggots with power

i’m a bigot

lol mankind ok

you have a gun, that’s different. But still brave. I don’t think I’d get close to a gator even if I had a gun. I’d snipe it from a distance.

if they were trapped and you sprayed them, sure.. well, i used to live literally across the street from the everglades

Justinfra… why would anyone kick you due to bigotry?

the ones you have to worry about are the ones people feed

hrm.. everyone is a bigot in the most strict sense of the word.

bigots are, unfortunately, not limited to the right-wing

It’s not like that study doesn’t have supporters and detractors alike.

anyone with a political belief incompatible with some other political belief is bigot’d; by definition.

glock… i got kicked from this room simply for stating I was not from London.. how am I supposed to explain how people like that work?

most biggots in politics tend to be left wingers.. i.e. jesse jackson etc

Damn, 13.5 KB/s averaga on ftp.linux.ncsu.edu =(

The supporters feel it was done well and accurate, the detractors feel that it is highly doubtful and needs more scrutiny. Justinfra… somehow I doubt that… Nobody usually cares where anybody lives here.

lol glock.. u go and doubt all u want.. hmm.. maybe I just made it up?

eliminate all jews, and communism will disappear. gorky: eliminate all homosexuals, and fascism will disappear

maybe they should upgrade to MS server 2K3

cool…they are fighting over one of my music boxes

“Oh your from canada?” “Oh well who cares what you think about Bush then” is about the worst of it.

Nah, everyone’s just catchin’ a new release

glock.. then maybe I was just unlucky

Lupine…oh noz0rz!!! M$ doesn’t make ANY good server software!!!!

You should see some of the HTTP mirrors that have died!

:P~~~~~~~ feh

Justinfra… nah, when most people complain about something so absurd occurring they are leaving out “the rest of the story” that makes it seem suddenly, not so absurd.

glock… lol.. this room has some moronic biggots in it is “absurd” lololol

Server 2K3 is a solid piece of software

“most biggots in politics tend to be left wingers.. ” - so how left-wing are nazis and neo-nazis?

M$ can not afford to give business users a shitty product bleargh…that sort is Right wing

Explain VISTA when it comes out …

I was kicked for being a jew!

but Right wing and left wing both carve a path of degradation to the same goal

heh .. you can’t define things on a single axis politically.

(j/k) I don’t know how it will be, haven’t really been interested in it

Something like that

that is a human Genetic error…

CryHavoc i know that i see more right wingers degrading the left in here than vice versa

at least move to a a two dimensional grid; liberal/conservative authoritarian / libertarian

DKl…chances are..I will have to…

nazi; conservative authoritarian, etc.

anyone ver take the Politcal Compass test? they try to show that politics is more complicated than left wing vs right wing. Stalin was left wing, Hitler was right wing.. but they were both authoritarian dictators

I need to find a way to be able to mess with the OS too

Um.. nazi’s/neo-nazi’s are national SOCIALISTS.. pretty much the far looney left.

Justinfra… I don’t like how it doesn’t distinguish between State/Federal gov’t

the real bad guys in history were all authoritarian, etc.

RW is a Nazi or a strong arm dictator

Justinfra… makes the test hard on federalist type politophiles.

LW is a Junta or ruling council

bleargh but anyways, neo-nazo’s are virtually non existant in american politics.. too bad the same can’t be said about the sharptons and the jacksons

its hard to be a libertarian dictator

glock.. it distinguishes between authoritarian and not

CryHavoc arent cuba and venezuela RW? LW rather

Do you support social services? Sure on the State/local level… federal? NO

Jugoslavia and Nicaragua were Left wing… as was Allende

neo-conservatives; conservative authoritarian, etc.

Glock2l what is the difference, you govt is supplying it either way

“political compas” is mostly BS in terms of what it claims is left/right

Mankind..despite their idiocy…yes

it makes a hell of alot of difference

lupine.. why do u say that?

ManKind… big difference with centralized power.

Cuba is going leftwing though

Glock2l what about state power compared to city power

Venezuela is Right wing with some leftist dressing

If the centralized power decides who gets the food they can starve pretty much anyone.

we have political freedoms, economic freedoms, and social freedoms… different groups want different things.

And other such nonsensical political mind games

republicans traditionally stood for economic freedoms; but no so much for social freedom.

and vice versa hey Libertine…

imaginary freedoms, obligatory freedoms, and dogmatic freedoms

hey Cry

Venezuela is right wing?

what’s the vatican? authoritarian or freedom?

bidding war over one of my music boxes …yearghhh!!!! Vatican is or would like to be authortarian…

so, the GOP is going ot hold the house and senate so says Rove

once upon a time…they were

it also ignores a hell of alot of important areas of ones political standing

the political compass was drawn up by british academics so it might not translate that well to the US in terms of what’s left/right wing

ManKind… obviously state vs city is mainly administrative issues… but also many issues with criminal law, etc.

but the Churches back was broken

Justinfra… yeah, US left/right means so many things to so many people, it’s nearly an irrelevant term.

Pre 1500 He Vatican was authoritarian

small l) needs to be included

yeah, land redistribution efforts are really rightwing

nope

In the US, left can mean anything from Hillary Clinton to General Mao

oops.. my post got eaten

Left wing / collectivist

the right, anything from anarchists to fascists.

CryHavoc: question is; is that due to them changing their beliefs; or their loss of power.

the fact that nazis identify ethnical groups as their primary obstacle, instead of capitalism, makes them quite different from the left

hey now, let’s not insult Mao

Glock2l such a small spectrum :P

I mean, he’s a horrible leftist panderer to terrorists and dictatorships like in Iran, but I don’t see how he’s at all rightist.

thx…it is a measuring stick is all

what are the main french political parties?

you mean how the NAACP identify ethnic groups as their primary obstacle? but again, the nazi’s were socialists. not capitalists

“Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.”

observer Surrender, partial surrender and full surrender

CryHavoc that was sarcasm.

LOL

glock… just out of curiosity..i’m not american.. but in what way exactly is Clinton “left wing” assuming she has given up her health care reforms

observer …IMHO

virulent against basic human rights for one

France uses a Brit similar Par Dem system…

hold on while i’ll find out what the hell naacp is

with some differences…

well, the Rally for the Republic, National Front, Socialist Party , and other smaller ones

lupine.. such as?

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

second amendment is the most glaring example

France has a lot of Communists….

lupine.. u are going to have to spell it out to me.. what did Hillary Clinton say?

Justinfra… she’s part of the left according to many… I’m not sure how they define it… but in the US, both left and right, mean almost anything, just depends on who you ask.

not a lot, really

You know say what you will about multinational corporations in this country, but the simple fact of the matter is, if we’re destined for a Global Economy, we need to make our nation’s business the business of infrastructure that runs that economy.

French Politics change; but currently; the major players are; Rally for the Republic, National Front, Socialist Party, Union for French Democracy, Worker’s Struggle … and some others… like the Greens.

including no small muber of Communards

French Communist Party (Parti communiste français) 960,757 3.37% out of 60 million

well Timur..I never said they had power..

glock.. well.. just curious.. i trawl thro the Dailykos now and again and Hilalry seems very unpopular there… she is too right wing

mostly they toss in with the socialists

they don’t, and relatively, that’s not a lot.

hillary right wing? hahahahaha

A Communard is a violent anarchic sort of communist

Justinfra… of course, DailyKos members are overwhelmingly more liberal than most democrats who win office.

she’s staunt socialist/anti human rights

lupine.. too right wing for the left wing dailykos

Lupine|: can you really show me where Hillary’s politics differ from Bush? Lupine|: they both are big government types..

Justinfra… many far right commentators feel George Bush is actually a Liberal

Timur you will not find a heavy rep of Factions in the USD Commons house either…but they are out there

Justinfra… hell many right-wingers in here thing Bush is too damn Liberal.

she has signed aboard several bills that would virtually ban all firearms from all citizens..

Brit red factioners are like a cancer

thing-think

her contempt for the second amendment is well established, both in words and deeds

Lupine|: yah and bush signed a bill banning my online poker playing..

glock.. i don’t think Bush is very right wing.. even his neocon inspired invasion of iraq was more “intervenionist liberal” than right wing. its his incompetence that is the problem

in any case, the fact that fascism never identifies capitalism as its primary obstacle, makes it other than left-wing

Lupine…Hillary? or Nancy?

actually, that is not a correct summary of the bill. both, along with Schumer, Teddy, etc

Justin…necon inspired my ass…

Lupine|: it was a rider added by Bill Frist; to the port security bill. Lupine|: and bush signed the damn thing.

lemme see if I can’t dig up those two bills ( house and senate )

though you are right….GWB is middle of the road Conservative

i know exactly what it is, and it did not ban online poker.

what can be more opposite to marxism, than fascism?

cryhavoc… umm.. u don’t think the neocons wanted to invade Iraq? why did they write letters about back in 1998?

Justinfra… well, I was pro-Iraq invasion long before Bush was anything more than Gub’ner of Texas.

bush is way too socialist for my taste

Lupine|: O RLY?

Lupine….the GOP minions would like to abrogate #1 nothing new

glock.. i guess that would make u a neocon too.. an internationalist liberal!

Justinfra… the same time Dems were arguing about all the WMDs Saddam had? 1998? Neato Maybe the dems scared the neocons into wanting to invade Iraq. :P

Lupine…..it is all gonna come down to who gets the respective party noms for 2008….

I am actually flabberghasted by your summary of the bill actually. It had to do with credit card transactions overseas for gambling.

1998 is when the PNAC wrote to Bill Clinton asking that he invade Iraq

unfortunately…there is the potential for several matchups from hell

it is also the year when Lieberman/Teddy/etc asked Bill Clinton for “regime change” in Iraq.

Hillary/ Romney Hillary/JEB

Justinfra… repubs generally felt it was more wag the dog shit over the impeachment crap

it was already illegal for a US citizen to place bets to offshore betting venue’s.

lupine… hmm.. i could believe Lieberman has neocon symapthies

several not as bad…

and teddy? and kerry?

the neocons didn’t have much say until after 9/11

Nayh/Frist Bayh

Lupine|: it effectively bans net gambling; that is why frist put it on the bill. hell ‘Banning Internet Gambling” was one of the official republican 2006′ moral iniatives as outlined by Bill Frist.

good for Lieberman.

Libertine…LOLOL

lupine.. u’d have to show me some evidence that kerry and teddy kennedy asked CLinton to invade Iraq

no way will it ban internet gambling…

but you know better than to make a false summary of what the bill _is_.

anyone defending internet gambling so consistently is probably a gambling addict.

the casinos are outside the US jurisdiction

Justinfra… not invade, just also spoke of its threat due to wmds, supporting terror, etc

fsck’ing morals… being made into law my congressmen in D.C. .. oh yeah im really interested in having Bill Frist tell me what is moral.

glock.. well the neocons were going further than that

the bill, Lib, wasn’t just made for you.

brb

Justinfra… Kerry wanted a military attack, but didn’t rule out invasion.

Lupine|: the bill was designed to end my ability to play online by restricting my ability to make the financial transactions i need to play.

it was already illegal for you to make bets while in the US, to overseas betting venue’s.

it was made for the country as a whole, and guess what, lots of people really do have gambling addictions.

glock.. can u show me that Kerry was pushing for invasion back in 1998?

Lupine|: it’s no different then saying “We didn’t ban your strip club, we just made it illegal for you to park here.”

But how long this military action might continue and how it may escalate … and how extensive it would reach are for the [White House, National] Security Council and our allies to know and for Saddam Hussein to find out!’” – Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Nov. 17, 1997 Source: Washington Times July 23, 2003 (Inside the Beltway

but we should encourage their demise, right right.

just open an offshore bank account.

Lupine|: I will not be told what is moral by a bunch of politicians.

Justinfra… not for invasion, just for a military attack

if one can define the left in general as hostility towards inherent rights, then how would nazism fit into the left?

He didn’t rule out invasion.

Lupine|: I have been offended by the congrssional Republicans; I have been called immoral.

glock.. well remember Clinton did attack.. anywya.. kerry is a prick

He did not argue specifically for ground troops etc. Justinfra… he wasn’t alone.

We urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq’s refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs.” - Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998

Lupine|: to hell with them I say.

lupine… thats well short of invasion

The dem argument in 1998 was nearly the same as Bush’s in 2002… just different solution… military strikes only versus full invasion.

well, regulating commerce into/out of the nation *IS* a constitutional power of the government. So, in terms of violating rights of a US citizen, this is very low on the totem pole

glock.. come on.. thats an enormous difference

Dem argument in 1998 was for regime change by Iraqi opposition groups with US support… Bush in 2002… regime change by coalition forces.

Lupine|: telling me how i can spend MY money is a critical issue to me. watching them legislate morality is also high on my list.

Justinfra… different solutions to the same recognized problem.

glock.. and that is an enormous difference

Um.. clinton signed into US law for *REGIME CHANGE* in Iraq. the only stronger action would be what.. “NUKE IRAQ INTO A GLASS FIELD”?

well, except you won’t be told what is moral, but what is or isn’t legal. yes, to hell with them. Contravene the law because you object to it, and see what happens.

lupine.. rubbish.. Clinton wa aksed by the neocons to invade Iraq.. he refused.. just a shame that Bush wasn;t so smart

the stronger action would be to use presidential power to invade Iraq

Justinfra… I’d disagree there.
