Nice graphic. Where do you get those?

Re: America as the villian and the cause of the worlds woes...
A-1 and Paolo, my friends:
Oh my GOD!
From what I* can see both your reaction is very unappropriate! :redbounce
Hans's words did NOT read like a political, neither religious nor fanatical nor especially hateful statement and it was definitely NOT a threat!
It was just a stupid, bloody OPPINION about americans!
As far as I can see (that means if no posts were deleted and if Hans did not communictate directly too you, so that we could not know/judge) ALL HANS (Nogender) SAID WAS:
NOTHING ELSE!
Don't you think you overreact just a little?
And Paolo:
"Were you here in person to make that comment to my face, you'd more than likely find your ass beaten to a bloody pulp [...]"
MAN, are YOU crazy?:realpisse
Just because he said ANYTHING about that your FUCKING COUNTRY or it's fucking typical ways:
If you you REALLY were anywhere to touch this silly fuckhat for that and I was near too I* would be touching YOU for sure!
Man, check your ways!
Can't you cope with the slightest sound of criticism or, in this case, simple dislike?
Well, not that I cry one tear at all after a impolite, boring wannabe...
But I'm really impressed how far such a simple silly remark can take you.
You better don't ask ME what I think about the US.
But you know that you can always ask me what I think about YOU my friends:
love you, goddamn it.

Re: America as the villian and the cause of the worlds woes...
Gus,
Plain and simple, when people lip off at me in person, I punch them. When they pull weapons, I shoot at them. Most of the time, I hit them, too. Road rage? Yep - that's why I RAM them with my big-ass new Dodge truck when they annoy me.
THIS is TYPICALLY AMERICAN ... deal with it.
My comment about probably not being able to find a US surgeon willing to do the said procedure was made in point of eliminating THIS area from the search, and it sure as hell didn't deserve the snotty reply that it got.
You can't tell me that if I replied to a post by saying, "Oh, how typically German," or "Oh, how typically French," or "Oh, how typically Outer Mongolian," with some other comments like his, that I wouldn't piss someone off. "Well, they don't know any better, they're just ________(insert nationality) is not a suitable reply to a valid post. The comments made that as Americans, we tend to think only of ourselves, is a gross delusion.
Look at all the money that the USA has pumped into other countries, as A-1 so eloquently states. And what do we get for it? Said aided country taking a shit on our shoes at every chance they get. And I'd also like to know how many zillions of American dollars are flushed down the proverbial toilet every year by those well-meaning but dumb enough to believe that those charities for starving children worldwide actually DO something for the said children.
If the whole batch of 'typical Americans' actually thought like this, then you can bet your sweet bippy that we'd have just stood by and let each and every situation that we've helped, or tried to help, resolve, just sit there and burn while the innocent suffered.
We could have sat by and let Hitler have Europe while simply going and taking revenge on Japan. Likewise, we could have left the radiation-mauled Japanese populous to fend for themselves in the ruins after we got done trouncing the government. We could have let Saddam Hussein have Kuwait, et al, and the list goes on and on. Of course, I'm sure that there's also the arguement that in doing so, we were only looking out for OUR own best interests.
And don't even throw the Arab oil issue at me. In one or two growing seasons, we could produce enough corn alcohol to run all of our vehicles with. A simple re-tune of the motors is all we'd need, we'd have more jobs, a better economy here, BUT we'd also be wrecking the economy of those 'less fortunate' countries in doing so. Even though it would make our own lives infinitely better.
Mark my words, eventually someone is going to push it a bit too far when someone LIKE ME is in office ...

Re: America as the villian and the cause of the worlds woes...
WAR!
Okay, we need to rally the troops and take over the whole fucking planet.
It is no longer Planet Earth, but it is now Planet U.S.A.
We start off by getting Canda on our side. After all they are pretty much a little USA. We work our way down Untile we have all of South America.
Once all of North and South America is in our full control, we take a year or two off to regroup and rearm. During this time we let whichever countries wish to become a state of planet USA to join.
Then once ready we go to work on the hold outs.
Instead of countries it is all states now.
Whate state do you live in?
Why I just hapen to live in the state of Australia, mate.
Now that we have won, and we are now all united under one government, we no longer have all this diffrant lauguage bull. We can now all talk and understand each other.
Holy crap, I can understand you! Maybe now we can work together and spend money on curing the ill and feeding the hungery instead of spending a Billion dollers and a fucking bomb we will never use.
Hey people. we have all this money we are no longer using on military. Why not use some of it to explore space now? Or maybe the Ocean? Lets find Atlantis.
Hey everyone, we have more then enough money now to educate our children. Holy shit, they can think for themselves now.
Maybe we dont want that? After all we can't have them growing up to be adults who will question GOD and the church, or if what our government really wants is trully best for us.
100 Years After The Great War
Greetings.
As you know, before the Great War the planet America was a shit hole to live in.
But then the Great State of America got sick of the bull shit and put it's foot down, and put it down hard.
Now, thanks to our forfathers we are a great race once again.
we no longer fight each other. Instead we are peacful. We have cured everything from a simple cold to AIDs. Instead of fighting, we are feeding. No one goes hungery. Because the dollor is so much stronger now, instead of a boy paying almost a full dollor for a small candy bar, that same boy now can use the dollor to buy 5 or 6 very large candy bars.
People work because they want to and enjoy what they work at, instead of working somewere or work at something do NOT like, just becuase of the money they earn will pay the bills. Like me. I work only 12 hours a week as a tour guide and over a 100 years ago I would of had to work for 9 or 10 YEARS at a job i would hate to ear what I earn in 1 weeks work now.
Over 100 years ago, we were close to nuking the hell out of the planet and kiling everyone and everything alive, now adays we have terraformed Mars and have discovered a new race of humanoid type people on another planet. And I am sure you all know that, Yes, they have been here many time before in the past, and that all thoes anal probes was just a joke.
What?
Oh yes sir, it is true. Way back then, men had a very hard time having there parts removed if they wished. Now adays we are more enlitened and not only remove them, but late if he chooses to do so and has his parts stored, they can be reattached.
I hope you have enjoyed the tour of our hellish past and please feel free to ask Com-Puter any other questions you have.

Re: America as the villian and the cause of the worlds woes...
Yes, THAT'S the way I like you more! 
And of course you're damn right: "My comment [...]
Let's forget the bastard, well I already have, nearly.
Because the other thing is far more interesting and I want to tell you what I think about it (without fearing for my teeth ):
"
No, there isn't. But I've got a better point (I hope):
In doing so America fulfills it's DUTY as the stronger one!
That's where it fits in that ALL other "civivlised, western" nations (have to) do exactly the same! Pumping money, helping etc.
If you have grown up with a few brothers and sisters you know that:
The strongest one HAS to care for the weaker.
Most of the time he will even get less of anything than his protegees.
I know this can be very annoying, espeacially cause the weaker aren't grateful at all.
But there is simply no other way: If you want THEM to act civilised you have to be it yourself first. And that means if you are stronger you have to help.
That sounds like a rather idealistic point, but there is one thing more to it if you transfer it onto modern nations:
If you are SO big, that means 100th of times bigger in power in comparison with another nation you simply cannot say:
Not my damn buissness what's going on there.
It is.
America as the only "super-power" left is the best example but still just an example:
If America farts half of the world will stink. (probably more )
A country of some critical size&power simply IS involved.
So MY oppinion:
By helping weaker nations a powerful AND civilised country not just serves it's own wealth or acts altruistically but it minds it's very own damn bussines!
Now what do you think of that?
(And have you ever seen another board where you can discuss THIS and castration and everything else too ?:) )
God, love you.

Well, no, not really, only the parts that belong to those who have no respect for human life. Nobody else has to worry about anything. ...capish?
I guess that it might be summed up thusly...
For those who understand, no explaination is necessary. For those who don't, none is possible.
I would also like to serve notice to everybody here.
In America the citizens are the government. The government IS US!!!
love you, goddamn it.
Gus
Gus, Poor Gus, we love you, too.
I only hope that your love is truly unconditional...it is said that love is never having to say that you are sorry...
Gus, Gus, Gus...
Sorry, I ain't. I don't have it in me after 3000+ New Yorkers were killed for no reason other than some bastard's jaded fucking gutter self-righteousness. People, husbands, wives, women, children...all civilians. All killed not by accident or an unintentional mistake, or even as collateral damage in an act of war, but as an intimidating act of terrorism!
The perpetrators of this atrocity and ANYONE who sympathizes with them are in for the war without end. Just watch. This war was never declared...and it will never end...it will continue until not only the the perpetrators and their sympathizers are gone, but until the entire thought process that led to this is obliterated.
American's lives are not more valuable than those in other countries. But if as Americans we did nothing whe 3000 + of our own on our own soil are murdered, how could that show respect for life anywhere? If the only thing that these demons of evil respect is death, then so be it. Let them reap what they have sown...
No, somebody's got to pay and somebody's going to die. Now is not the time to antagonize America or Americans. Now is not the time to side with the terrorists and their lies.
I wish that they would have just left us alone. Since they didn't they are going to get what is coming to them.
Some Friendly Advice,...Don't feel sorry for them, they asked for this!
Don't feel sorry for Hans, the asshole asked for his, too.
Do you remember the movie Dr. Strangelove? Well, just think of me as Slim Pickens riding that damned bomb in waving my hat and screaming "YAHOO!!!"
You damn better well believe that if Hans came to a bar that I frequent in the midwest and shot his mouth off like he did here he would end up laying in the alley in back of the place with the shit stomped out of him, if he indeed lived to tell the tale.
If me and Paolo feel like this what chance would he have against a bunch of redneck roughnecks? I mean, we aren't exactly your typical low-life uneducated idiots, are we?
...and that is just the way that it is now...remember, everyone, the US didn't start this thing. We even backed our CIA off after the fall of the USSR. We cut our intelligence capabilities by 50%. We WANTED the world to be able to fend for itself...
Well, look what has happened! They want a fucking war, well...,
THEY GOT IT!
They can be likened to a pack of wild dogs chasing a bus. The damned thing is about to run over them and all they can do about it is to nip at it's wheels. Roadkill, all!

BTW,
Limpone was in the CIA. I would pretty much bet that he is active again. A true Eunuch of our times...

Gee, is that why Limpone seems to have more or less dropped out of the Eunuch Arcives? Seems to have been almost a year since we had anything from him. I hope he is doing OK.

Re: America as the villian and the cause of the worlds woes...
Poor Gus?
Oh my God, what else did you find out...
No, I mean: Poor Gus?
I don't understand but,well, don't you think my love was unconditional, it isn't!
I just happen to cultivate my private illusions on the basis of my temporary "unknowing" (is "ignorance" in english (as in german) more "intentional unknowing"?).
In your case(es *s) that means I just keep thinking that in "eye to eye situation" or in case of "important decisions" I trust you to make the "right" decision.
(ups, that was ..., well ok.)
This confidence grew by TALKING to you but is NOT based directly on what you SAY!
I just think I like you, A-1 and Paolo in this special case, simply as persons and that does not go away just because you have a different oppinion.
So, as long as I'm not prooven wrong by sight we can TALK here whatever you like.
You can take whatever position you like, as long as we can still TALK about it. And if, by chance, that should become impossible the confidence is still there. It might just not be so interesting any more to TALK.
Just that does NOT mean you could not loose that confidence!
Eye to eye or in important decisions.
It doesn't mean either that I won't tell you if I think I have to attack a position you take...
So, you don't want to talk about the responsibilitys of a powerful nation?
Ok, something else.
A-1, my friend, I still thing you're going too far.
I come from the country of the holocaust and have grown up in a time when it was talked up a little clearer at last, even in school.
The thing you ponder as a teenager is of course:
"How did they justify THIS in front of THEMSELFS?"
The question comes up again and again of course at every new occasion, every knew act of war and death and each time it leads into complex matters so that you easiely get caught in it and may even start discussing where you should have been saying "No" right from the start.
I just know one thing yet:
With a motto like: "Well, in light of 9-11... "
you can really justify EVERYTHING !
A-1, I know your hurt!
Everybody was; hurt and frightened.
But you KNOW, you FUCKING KNOW!, you don't make that thing any better if you now go shooting EVERYBODY.
MAN. Take care where you point with that thing, it might be loaded!
MAN, I*m standing here! GUS!
Man?
Oh my God, what else did you find out...
No, I mean: Poor Gus?
I don't understand but,well, don't you think my love was unconditional, it isn't!
I just happen to cultivate my private illusions on the basis of my temporary "unknowing" (is "ignorance" in english (as in german) more "intentional unknowing"?).
In your case(es *s) that means I just keep thinking that in "eye to eye situation" or in case of "important decisions" I trust you to make the "right" decision.
(ups, that was ..., well ok.)This confidence grew by TALKING to you but is NOT based directly on what you SAY!
I just think I like you, A-1 and Paolo in this special case, simply as persons and that does not go away just because you have a different oppinion.
So, as long as I'm not prooven wrong by sight we can TALK here whatever you like.
You can take whatever position you like, as long as we can still TALK about it. And if, by chance, that should become impossible the confidence is still there. It might just not be so interesting any more to TALK.
Just that does NOT mean you could not loose that confidence!
Eye to eye or in important decisions.
It doesn't mean either that I won't tell you if I think I have to attack a position you take...
So, you don't want to talk about the responsibilitys of a powerful nation?
Ok, something else.
A-1, my friend, I still thing you're going too far.
I come from the country of the holocaust and have grown up in a time when it was talked up a little clearer at last, even in school.
The thing you ponder as a teenager is of course:
"How did they justify THIS in front of THEMSELFS?"
The question comes up again and again of course at every new occasion, every knew act of war and death and each time it leads into complex matters so that you easiely get caught in it and may even start discussing where you should have been saying "No" right from the start.
I just know one thing yet:
With a motto like: "Well, in light of 9-11... "
you can really justify EVERYTHING !
A-1, I know your hurt!
Everybody was; hurt and frightened.
But you KNOW, you FUCKING KNOW!, you don't make that thing any better if you now go shooting EVERYBODY.
MAN. Take care where you point with that thing, it might be loaded!
MAN, I*m standing here! GUS!
Man?
