Iraq isn't powerful enough to start World War III, but maybe when Korea fires their nuke, THEN its World War III.
The US is going to be the ones to start the damn war if Bush stays in charge. >_>

All I know is, if I see any hints of increasing tension between the American people and the American government over the rest of this year and next, I'm going to ask my Dad to teach me how to use his gun, and I'm going to dedicate myself to losing this weight and strength training. Maybe I'll want to die out with the weak eventually, but right now I don't like the idea of losing the right to live my life to its fullest.

An interesting discussion between me and a friend over the current situation with Bush and what's going on. I'm O_o Fear the Ratflail, his name was removed by request
Quote:
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
>_> Well I can see the fleeing to Canada now
says:
?
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Bush needs one more vote
says:
what good will fleeing to Canada do?
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Getting the hell out of a country that will probably start WW3 o.O
says:
would you ever come back?
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Not likely
says:
but American money is worthless in Canada
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Get a job and earn money there. That and we have some Canadian money from my mom's trips up there for tattoos and s**t. Cheaper there than here so she goes there, that and the nearest tattoo place is in canada O_o
says:
ok....
says:
would your mom flee out of here?
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
The whole damn family would, except my older sister. She's moving to Rhode Island or something in a week
says:
but
says:
suppose we DON'T have WW3
says:
what would you do then?
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Stay there
says:
bad choice
says:
but yours
says:
If Bush becomes president, he will only be it for 4 more years
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
And alot of hell can be raised in 4 years >_>
says:
suppose hell doesn't raise
says:
suppose things get better with Bush
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Do you really think a war mongering monkey will make things better
says:
I'm not saying that
says:
I'm saying, suppose all this doesn't happen
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Dont really need to suppose anything. Bush is an idiot who will screw us all over.
says:
you don't know that for sure
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
He wants a war on a bloody ******** CONCEPT. He'll have to end humanity to win and given his mindless determination he'll ******** do it. >_>
says:
like I said: you don't know that for sure
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
OK you have fun being cannon fodder for his war if he wins. I have my "mental instability" and 40 mile walk to Canada to save my a** from him
says:
where do you live?
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
North Dakota, 40 miles from the border to canada
says:
I see
says:
but you should
says:
know
says:
it's actually Bill Clinton's fault
says:
not Bush's
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Bush is continueing it and pissing countless people off. It's both of their damn fault
says:
Clinton is the one who should have been given the death penalty for all the damage he caused
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Followers wont nessisarily stopped if their leader falls. They may even become more determined. So perhaps Clinton figured 'show him mercy to change him'
says:
and he was a dipshit for that
says:
Clinton FORCED our troops to let Bin Laden go
says:
He said "He won't attack us" and BOOM! 9 11
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
So what. Killing Bin Laden wouldnt have done anything. They still would have attacked
Most boring MSN name EVER! says:
maybe, maybe not
says:
Bin Laden convinced the hijackers they would go to heaven if they attacked us
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
When one falls another rises to take it's place. It always has been and always will be. There will always be a ******** 'Osama Bin Laden'. There is no way that that attack would not have happened, postponed maybe but it was inevitable
says:
well then I guess I'll just vote for Bush all I want because I can
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Go ahead. Unless you are in Nevada, New Mexico, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michagan, or Hawaii you cant vote though
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
All other states have voted
says:
I'm in Colorado
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Bush State >_>
says:
mwua ha ha ha
says:
*my real name*
says:
do you actually believe Kerry can do a better job?
says:
I don't trust him at all
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
I dont really know. But do you trust someone you dont know or a war monger. Honestly I'd trust the person I dont know
says:
and what if he's worse?what will you do then?
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Flee
says:
suppose you run out of places to flee to
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Then I die fighting against the foolish and evil country I fled from first
says:
the US is what you make it
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Corrupt, neglagent of the needy, and self absorbed. What would you call that
says:
I dunno
says:
but if you make the US bad, then it will be bad
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Ok redeeming qualities?
says:
I'm pointing out facts
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
No you're not. You are saying it's what you make of it. I see no good in this country, prove me wrong with FACTS
says:
I just did
says:
you have FREEDOM don't you?
says:
you have FOOD don't you?
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Not really. I can speak, but I cant speak of certain things. I can't do what I want. Freedom is just that, being able to do what you want
says:
there's no such thing as absolute freedom
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Do you know how many US citizens STARVE? Why dont they get food?
says:
In Russia, if you share your oppinion with somebody, you lose your head
says:
very few
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Blinded fool. Far more than you could possibly imagine
says:
You're out of line
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Perhaps but I have a valid point. You're not seeing everything
says:
doesn't matter
says:
let's compare the US starving people to those in other countries
says:
people in Europe would be happy for just a bowl of rice!
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Let them worry about themselves and let us focus on our own damn problems first
says:
perhaps, but "I" have a valid point as well
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Ok so we starve our own people to help others. That's only the surface of the problem. The homeless, why dont people who line their damn pockets help them out directly? Why cant Bush do something for his country that isnt ******** impossible
says:
not everything is in president's power
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Ah but you see, the money he has for himself could go to help others instead of making life easier for his lazy a**. He has the power to do that
says:
whatever
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
I have a point
says:
again, whatever
says:
suppose the people in Canada don't have as much freedom as we do
says:
suppose Canada will not legally let you in
says:
what will you do if Kerry becomes prez?
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Wait and see. If things become like it is with Bush I will flee. Better to live and die a coward that to sacrifce yourself for a lost cause
says:
then I guess you better pack up your stuff and fast
says:
because regardless of our prez, things will never go back to the good life
says:
not only that
says:
there WILL be a riot in cities
says:
whoever becomes prez
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Anarchy. Isn't it delightful to see that our order breeds chaos. We are only building up to our own demise
says:
and that
says:
is our OWN fault
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
I know
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
*pokes* You ok? I didnt worry you or anything did I?
says:
I'm fine
says:
just looking at the damage done to the Pentagon
says:
and thinking about how much I just wanna strangle Bin Laden myself
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
And to think even if you could your victory would be for nothing because like I said, one will always rise to replace the fallen
says:
I know
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Mind if I post this conversation up on a thread? Not on your forum mind you, on Gaia
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
I think a few people may find it interesting
says:
why?
says:
just wonderin
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Was having a discussion on a similar topic earlier
says:
as long as you don't post my name, I'm alright with it
says:
holy s**t
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
?
says:
The Pentagon was obviously hit by a 220,000 pound plane goin at 530 MPH
says:
but
says:
they never found the destroyed plane
O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Makes you wonder now doesnt it.
says:
yes
says:

O_o Fear the Ratflail says:
Staged maybe. O_o
says:
it was 20 feet off the ground just before it hit the pillars

Is it just me, or is the WW III thing a similar thing among anti-Bush people? (Remember, I don't really like Bush, I'm just choosing the lesser of two evils in my opinion sweatdrop )

Bleh. I could care less. The mountains will continue to stand, and the rivers will continue to flow. History forgets all things.

Oh well. Maybe I read the Dune series too many times. But, it does get you thinking. I recommend it to all here in the Paladins who enjoy Sci-Fi. 3nodding

I have to admit, that'd be pretty damn cool... course, then we'd have to worry about Melange... ya know, I've always wanted to try the stuff. But, I'm kinda of the opinion that we shouldn't need drugs to enhance our capibilites and stuff. 3nodding

Frankly, I'm not anti-Bush, I'm anti-executive branch. You must never EVER give power over ANYTHING to a SINGLE man, REGARDLESS of how checked and balanced it is. He will do nothing but further his own selfish goals and desires, while doing just enough to keep himself in power. What's more, the rigged election rumors flying around, if they're true, may mean that he doesn't even need to sate the public to keep in power...

I've actually been meaning to read the Dune series, as well as the rest of Asimov's stuff and the last three Dark Tower books by Stephen King.. but I've just not really been in a book mood lately. =(

Ooh. *continues to download everything under the sun without fear that each time his horrible ISP disconnects him that it's because he is doing so*
I don't download mp3s really myself unless I suddenly feel like listening to everything a certain singer has made, but usually it's someone that has been around for ages and not via the usual p2p methods.. so I should still be safe. ^^

*honestly didn't realize our government was so behind on anti-piracy stuffles* *laughs and drinks his cup of coffee, wondering why the hell he was drinking that horrible watery tea earlier*

Would anyone know a good place to find information on which kinds of livestock are fed their own dead? I know cows and sheep are definitely developing mad cow disease, but I'd like to see which animals are at any risk for it at all.

Note: If this doesn't seem at all relevant to any of the conversation in this topic, you might wanna look into the parts of the site I've linked to twice in this thread concerned with CJD.

Well suprnova should be safe, since it's on a load of mirrors and basically saying torrent files are illigal is the same as saying zip files are illigal. xp

I'm not saying anything about the .torrent files themselves really, as while they are probably safe due to them just containing data on what people to connect to and what file to get from them that doesn't make it okay for you to share the data that you obtain from those people.

Right now I believe you are only really in trouble if someone that is part of an antip2p group or the company the product came from originally catches you UPLOADING some of that data to them, a certain percentage at least. This seems to make wanting a lower download:upload ratio seem like a good thing, but it generally hurts the other people trying to download the thing, even though there are usually tons of seeds anyway. ^^~

A good ipfilter is probably enough to protect you from all of the most sneaky companies/groups anyway. Mm.. 250,000 ips blocked.


Small font so this text doesn't hijack the thread.. not that it would anyway. wink
OMG Kedian, u r s0 smrt.

On a related note since I got my lovely double speed connection from the ISP from HELL I've been having trouble finding stuff to download. *cries*
*goes to find stuff to download for the sake of downloading*


*tips the tea out and makes himself a nice cup of Horlicks*
Mm.. whore licks.
