Actually frankly I don’t think anymore of myself for throwing such things but if I wanted a civil discussion I would post in GD, and I’m a little boy and damn proud of it.
Aid to Israel adjusted for inflation into 2004 US dollars. If this is nickel and dime, can I have your pocket change?

Well shit, left off the years. First year is 1949 and last year is 1967.
Not when I’m dealing with a Total Loser.
Still giving yourself Mineral Oil Enemas, Roadie?
Give it up–you’re still full of shit.
That’s nice. Now probve Israel couldn’t have existed without that money (which was no more, IIRC, than the U.S. gave to many other countrie around the world).
Look, as I said, there’s no way we’ll agree on this subject. Was the U.S. instrumental to the foundaion of Israel? Perhaps, but not as much as France was instrumental to the fundation of the U.S. Games of “what if” and “if then” never go anywhere beyond one’s own personal agenda. It’s impossible to know.
The amount of money the U.S. sends today is something like 2% of the Israeli GNP. A lot, to be sure (and we’re grateful!), but not something life-saving.
My sole comment here is one word:
“Inasmuch”
For fuck’s sake, give it a rest. I don’t remember seeing planes flying into the Manchester skyline. Do you also advocate nuking Ireland after what the IRA did to Manchester city centre a few years back? People in Ireland “openly expressed their loyalty” to the folks that did that.
Or is Ireland not far enough from your shit-pit of a home city to consider that?
I hope one day you learn to think for yourself and stop spouting such disgusting crap.
He has taken cues from politicians exposed as liars (Clwyd). He still listens to them apparently.
fool me once and all that…
If you think murdering innocent people who are of the same nationality as a bunch of psychos who murdered Americans is a resonable response, you are terminally stupid, I’m afraid. For you, slipping into a coma would cause an increase in brain activity.
Snag, is this a whoosh? I am, myself, quite unable to write at length without committing various crimes of misspelling, but “Nuke there ass” and “send all of our nuclear waist” looks like the work of someone wishing to satirize an imbecile.
At any rate, while I don’t advocate “fucking” the M.E., I’d say it’s high time we distanced ourself from it, and made sure we don’t depend on its oil.
I am usually loathe to enter into one of these threads anymore, but the stupid of the OP burns like fire, and what with me being a fireman and all…
The grey area that Loopydude refers to is really the solution. If the Middle East would rather America stay home, then we should. It is truly bad form to show up uninvited. We should leave, take our troops, our money, and our businesses, and go home. Shut down the flow of money and people to and from the area, the same way we did with Cuba. Sure, only the people suffer, but they’re suffering now anyway, better they should suffer under someone they like, than the infidels.
I feel regret for what our military has done to the innocent Iraqi people, but I’m left to wonder where the worldwide outrage was for the atrocities committed under Hussein? Perhaps I’ve missed it, perhaps it was prevalent and I never saw a news story, or pehaps it was political spin and exaggeration, but AFAIK there was no outcry by the same people who are wringing their hands and stomping their feet about what the troops have done.
Frankly,I’ve lost all compassion for the area and her people, the same way I’ve lost compassion for so-called ‘battered women’ who expect others to save their bacon, when they refuse to take affirmative steps to extricate themselves from those situations which so greatly endanger them. I understand that it’s not easy to leave, or change the situation, but better to die on your feet, than to live on your knees.
If being a total loser means I am in no way like you, I’ll wear a fucking sign saying you think I’m a loser. I’ll be thrilled.
As for whatever the fuck you are referring to with the Mineral Oil Enemas, I don’t know what crazy things you and your husband/mother/priest are putting in each other’s asses but don’t ascribe your freakish habits to me.
Now that I think about it, you sure are making a lot of anal references. Are you trying to pick up one me? While I appreciate the fact that you realize just how desirable I am, I’m not interested in you. Go toss someone else’s salad.
Man, had we followed Jimmy Carter’s idea (become independent of ME oil), just think of how good things would be today!
-no need to get involved in IRAQ
-no fleets of 5 MPG SUVs crowding our highways and killling teenagers
-clean solar and wind power
-no need to have a huge military base on Diego Garcia Island
Old Jimmy was right-we could have saved hundreds of billions of $, and thousands of lives, if we could free ourselves from this addiction to ME oil…the ME is a bad place, and a very bad place to be involved in. It has centuries-old fueds, and modern weapons, plus stubborn people who hate eachothe. I can’t imagine a worse place for world powers to be involved.
The way you wear your Idiot Mittens? Attached to you clothes with string, so you won’t lose them? A sartorial improvement on your part, but still…
You’re right! An Enema won’t get your shit out; how 'bout a lobotomy?
Keep your deviant fantasies out of the cyberpresence of your betters.
And by “betters” I include the people on this Board, chat roomers, Flat Earthers, pickpockets, Used Car Dealers, and most Tree Shrews.

Am I the only one who read the subject of the thread and slipped into NWA mode?
*Fuck the Middle East
Coming straight from the undaground
A young nigga,
Got it bad 'cause I’m brown
And not the other color
So, police think
They have the authority
To kill a minority*

Too many people here on edge, and not enough edge to go around…
ah ha ha…wow I forgot about this post. Man you all take things too serous. Great discussion though. Even Opera made her fat ass in to it. Hilarious! Ok ok now I was just venting and looked what it turned out to be… to fuck’n funny. Ah Ha… no wonder the world is the this way. If this was a test you all would have failed. But whatever. I stand by fuck the middle east though not for what you think. Flame away. 
Oh, my goodness. So coherent and eloquent. I stand dazed by your blinding wit and intelligence.
Fuck the Middle East? Nuke 'em all? Gosh golly, Snaggletooth, wow, what a really funny joke! You’re such a laugh riot, I’m splitting my sides here.
Get a life.
Is English your first language?
I’d bet so.
Kdapt, Allah, Finagle, and Man-Jesus help us all.
