Because everything we’ve won in 10 wars at the point of a gun can be taken away
That should be "stolen", not won, but otherwise I agree.

Vote.

Yes, vote! Vote for America. Vote for Obama!

Well, you got your wish... although someone once said - be careful what you wish for.

Now don't blow your brain or whatever is left but contemplate the if you will, who was the last British Prime Minister that served in their military?

Sounds like you need your brain examined, since British Prime Ministers' military records are of zero relevance to the topic at hand.

99.999% of McCain's support was based on his being a "war hero" - who graduated at the bottom of his class, crashed four or five planes, and spent most of his active duty time, not in action, but as a POW (which, I'm afraid, is not necessarily an indicator of a qualification to lead).

It is relevant to compare the experience and qualifications of leaders and aspiring leaders in two countries with comparable electoral systems.

Another ridiculous 'assessment'. btw, how many planes have you not crashed? or even crashed?

Your 'conclusion' would be just as stupid as saying that 99.999% of Obama's support was due to black vote and white guilt.

Ye, it's not fair to ask you to multitask by asking you difficult questions like
Now don't blow your brain or whatever is left but contemplate the if you will, who was the last British Prime Minister that served in their military?
and you not being an American, never mind know anything about a second country like the UK. How IS your brain? No new holes in it?

You do understand the question, don't you? It's not difficult, honest. Just take your this time before putting your foot in it again. Deep breath... now think. Get it? If we substituted Russia for the UK? Would that help any? Can not be fairer, my fickle friend.

I didn't answer the question because I don't know the answer. Unlike you - I don't spew the stuff I don't know about. You may 'substitute Russia for UK', normal people don't.

Also, do yourself a favor and look up the definition of 'friend'... fickle or not - you have the definition wrong. I don't befriend rat catchers, the first or the second generation (obviously you haven't evolved enough quite yet).

Now you see how easy that was. Once you tell the truth that you don't know. Easy, wasn't it?

How could you know. As far as I know there NEVER has been a British Prime Minister that served with high rank in their forces, EVER!!! So the Brits do something right.
11-7-2008 8:06 PM

I'm sure the Brits do many things right, and many things wrong, like everyone else. As to this particular topic being 'right' - that's debatable.

Apparently your 'as far as I know' isn't accurate. Churchill, to name one, served in the army. I'm sure there were others.
11-8-2008 1:31 AM
ratcatcher2
It was as a war correspondent carrying a revolver. He was captured in the Boar war but was a civilian. Very similar to the great war hero McCain, who also avoided command!
After Churchill left Harrow in 1893, he applied to attend the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. It took three attempts before he passed the admittance exam; he applied for cavalry rather than infantry because the entrance requirement was lower and did not require him to learn mathematics, which he disliked. He graduated eighth out of a class of 150 in December 1894.
So not quite the dunce as McCain who was near last of 800?
11-8-2008 3:18 AM
RecordSage
As I said before - do you have personally a better than McCain military record?
11-8-2008 5:07 PM
ratcatcher2
I didn't crash any Navy planes.
I didn't finish near last of a huge class.
I didn't spend a war in a POW camp.
I didn't make a living off the taxpayer on the bases of an highly inflated version of my service record.

In a truly free democracy like mine a military record has no more value than any other job. We won our freedom through force of arms yet no leader has had military service. Our army has an exceptionally good record of service for the UN. Our uniformed police carry NO arms. It is extremely difficult for any citizen to have access to fire arms. Happy?

So, since you have one of the highest, if not highest suicide rates - what's the process... considering there aren't guns? Just kidding, not about the fact, but about the question. You can beat your chest until cows come home, but unless you served - your comments demeaning McCain's service are worthless. Sorry to be so blunt, but I'm sure any veteran would agree with me here.

Any idiot can spout, but very few can survive what McCain survived. You can disagree with the man's politics all day long, but calling him names simply shows how ignorant & inept you are.

We may be known as a happy go lucky race, but Irish people are taking their own lives in ever increasing numbers. Ninety women and 349 men died by suicide in 1999.Though the suicide rate tumbled slightly last year for the first time in over 40 years, it remains the single biggest killer of young Irish men. Female suicide has remained stable for 20 years, while male suicide has rocketed. In 1998, seven times as many men ...

Your own quote... how is that considering the kick-butt economy (at least used to be), superwoman PM (or so you say), part of European Union... and being 'happy go lucky race'? My guess is that things might not be exactly as you paint them.

{emphases mine}

My quote with source gives absolutely NO indication of your extraordinary exaggeration of "one of the highest, if not highest suicide rates."

Do you not see that? Do you withdraw your statement and accept mine?
11-10-2008 1:42 PM
RecordSage
Since my comment wasn't factual, of course I withdraw it. I remembered reading something about it being huge in Ireland, but it must've been the fact that it's the largest killer in Ireland, not the world. I have no problems being corrected, when I'm wrong. The theme doesn't change. You have your own problems, regardless of your self-petting and pedestal-grandstanding.

Thank you. You stand taller now, IMO.

So you are unfamiliar with the term 'stand tall'? Pity. So you are unable to understand when someone says something favourable about you!

How long have you resided in America?

So, for about 25 years you were a loyal or disloyal citizen of a foreign alien power - your country of birth?

And the next 25 years you are a loyal or disloyal citizen of your new found country, having to profess to hate your country of birth for to gain acceptance - in Bush's world?

I've been disloyal citizen of my country of birth ever since I could think on the subject.

I have been and continue to be a loyal citizen of this country... because it is my country of choice, not just a country of birth. This has nothing to do with Bush, he's just one of 4, soon to be 5, Presidents I've lived under.

Your rat-sized mind couldn't even begin to understand why (clearly evident by the questions you raise and comments you make), so I won't waste my time.

I am proud and have been 'boasting' ever since we came here. I don't see the "Jewish problem' (are you on something making this kind of comment or did you choke on some extra-aged cheese?). As for me being 'trusted' - that's certainly not for you to judge or even comment on, since you have no clue... and after reading your bull - somehow I feel cold all of a sudden... must be the 'heat' you're talking about. If you manage to keep civil - I will likely reciprocate, otherwise - keep wishing.

Sorry for delay. I'd had a minor operation and then complications. Now back to the kitchen.

Keep digging. Given enough rope and you will certainly hang yourself.

Should any one trust you based on your own words here? Don't think so.

So is your first loyalty Jewish and second American?
Does your country of birth rate at all? Is there something in your Jewish genes that allow for this easy switching of loyalties?

11-28-2008 5:12 AM
RecordSage
Since you're mixing all kinds of unrelated stuff, you forgot to throw in the mix my loyalty to drums, that would make sense in your non-sensical little world.

Sounds like you need to let the old brain heal a bit more after the operation... or your doctors charged you for nothing.
11-28-2008 5:15 AM
RecordSage
As for my actual loyalties and trust - you're a NOBODY to even raise such questions and you certainly have no clue about what the actual answers are, so stop wasting bandwidth by trying, since chances of you getting it right are... pretty much non-existent, based on your train of thought (if one can surmise one to exist).

Sorry if I hit a raw nerve.

I've no idea of how it must have been for you. Switching loyalties is something that I can only imagine. Having double/duel loyalties must be bad enough but having to hate your birth country must have been awful. Life really can be tough.
