War Has Never Solved Anything!!

Good response!! You're dead on about greed. If everybody's got everything they want there's no reason to fight. But then again who's happy if they can have more?
The eye for an eye thing was meant more towards folks who don't want to help themselves. I do agree on your take of it. I guess I think there are too many folks that look at jail as a place to get a roof overhead and a warm meal where unlike a shelter they don't leave. They commit small crimes, do some time, and when things don't work out, they start the process all over. If those folks got punished a little more severely, folks might try harder to help themselves from getting back to the point. Reallistically, chain gangs picking up trash and cutting grass and what not would be a great way to curb crime. Imagine driving past inmates picking up trash in 95 degree weather. It'd make me think twice.
I'd never wish for the type of enforcement they have in the Middle East. People die for just speaking out against the government. I just wish ours weren't so lax.

pluto316 This is not about who which country would rather have "over them" after a war said:Dear Retard, It did happen.
Russia got East Germany and we got West Germany.
Let's see which side was better off? Hmm... I wonder could it have been
WEST GERMANY! DOH!(poke)
AMERICA, **** YEAH!(usa)
First, it's spelled D'oh.
Second, okay I will admin you are right about East vs. West. The way I was thinking about is was that Germany as a whole was not rebuilt by America vs. the USSR, and by that point you are correct; the country with the most money to spend did a better job.
Ok, now back to the original topic of war solved slavery, corruption, etc. Defend your stance on that. I have made my point with sources to back up my reasoning. Your turn.
In addition, the continued use of lyrics from a song talking about the downfalls of America, in my option, makes you look like a dipshit. The fact that you are a warmonger makes you look like an ignorant dipshit. You found one time where America did the right thing, let's play a game where we list the good and bad America has done on the world scale and we can see which list is longer. America, **** yeah!

Hey, I guess you haven't heard about the Patriot Act? The government can remove you from your home and detain you forever without even placing chargest against you. You no longer have the freedom to a fair trial, or even a trial at all. The was a time where we, as Americans, could say atleast here we are free and don't resort to their (the EVIL <s>Nazis, Communists, </s> Terrorist nations) level. Guess what? We do the same s*** here, but we just live in nicer houses.
The govt. can take me out of my house and detain me. If I give them a reason to. If you're not preaching death to the govt. and hate toward others, they won't bother you. Seriously, do you think they're bust through your front door without a reason? Chances are if they come to take you away you've screwed up and they've already got the evidence to justify it. And if you were found to be a terrorist in this country you deserve to be taken out back and shot. You don't really deserve a trial. That is if the evidence were overwhelming. The Patriot Act lets you gather evidence while a person is committing a crime. It lets them dig their own grave so when the trial comes around the evidence is overwhelming. If you're worried about your privacy that much you are probably doing something wrong. Just because the government doesn't charge you with a crime doesn't bother me. If they think they can get info from you about a bombing then who cares. If you hadn't been screwing around in the first place you probably wouldn't be there would you? I like the Patriot Act. Because I keep my ass clean I have nothing to worry about. If a law is passed to keep the nation safer why would you be against it?
The patriots act isn't a bad thing, its just not the right way to do things in the "free world" As pluto explained it drasticly reduced the measures law enforcment need to take to put you away.
I am glad you can place that much faith in your law enforcment agencies to use such power responsibly.
My fear is that the less checks and balances needed in legal procedure, the more room there is for corruption.
Its been said, absolute power corrupts, absolutely.
The more constitutional rights are given away in this plight for safety the less that safety is even worth anyhting.
Don't take away freedom in the defense of it, its that simple

I don't feel like I've lost any liberties. I can go out and do as I please and as long as I don't break any laws, I'll be home at the end of the day. Simple as that. If I were considered to be a threat against the U.S., I would probably say I've lost some liberties. The worst I do is smoke weed once or twice a year. Am I worried some branch of the govt. is going to take me away? Of course not. They've got bigger fish to fry. If I wanted to blow up a subway then I'd be afraid of the Patriot Act. Bottom line is, if you're breaking the law, you don't deserve some liberties that law abiding folks deserve. That's just my point of view and I'm not trying to argue over it. Its just different interpretations I guess.

go look up section 802 and tell me the patriot act is not a bad thing. Here is a list of instances where the patriot act was used on everyday american citizens.

Just because it hasnt effected you yet directly doesnt mean no one else is.

Of course I haven't lost any liberties, I am not a jew. As long as the Nazi party only goes after people who are jewish I am alright.
Ok, that's not the same thing.. Just sayin'.
Just because the govt. is checking things out, these people are upset. If the govt. reads a little too much into things and folks are inconvenienced, who cares. If they took my "white powdery stuff" I use to fertilize my flowers because it seems suspicious, good! I'm glad they're trying to be on top of things. So what if your privacy was invaded? If you didn't do anything wrong then it shouldn't be that big of a deal. As long as I get my Miracle-Gro back!!
We're rounding up everybody our govt doesn't like and putting them in a big oven? Were the Jews going to take over in Germany? Our govt is trying to catch folks before they tear stuff up over here. I don't think our govt is into persecution anymore. Don't think they've done that since they put the Japanese in holding camps after Pearl Harbor. I don't think there's a comparison between what Hitler did to the Jews and how our govt uses the Patriot Act to round up terrorists.

If you are not happy with the United States Of America as your home, pack your belongings and simply leave this country. (usa) (usa) (usa)
Good Luck to ya! (yippy) Find a home that suits your needs better, find one that gives you what this great country doesn't. I doubt this country will miss you either!
Just a guess...white, young, raised in the suburbs, and all of a sudden you have the solution to world peace.
Give me a break! then grow up!

JBreed said:are you refering to one thinks he has aquired a wealth of knowledge and wisdom in twenty short years of life, in which to better run this countrty?
Yeah, theres usually more than one...
No im referring to you, the ******* moron who thought it was necessary to bestow upon us your solution for all americas problems. Which involves leaving the country whenever you think there is a problem with the country. You ******* idiot.
