How strong is the Japanese "Ji-ei-tai", the self defense force??? Its has been said by various professors studying world peace, that Japan holds the fifth strongest defense force in the world.
I also heard that though the US lowers the quality of most weapons they export to other countries, (So in case they got in a war, they could have superior arms.) Japan is the only nation that is a exception from this.
(BTW, for ur info, Japan has a bigger force than England or France)

If a united arab coalition suddenly invaded texas (about the size of Iraq) and tried to create a muslim government, would you as americans just accept it? would you think that was right or justified?

Im sure if that happened US ppl would strap on bombs too and go on suicide attacks. No one likes to see their country invaded for no reason...so why do you do it every 3 years???

What Kim wrote in response to one of my questions:

"YOU'RE...

Not pretty.
Not smart.
Not educated

and most of all, you seem like a loser.

Fox News ratings are 5 times higher than CNN or MSNBC. That tells you all you need to know about being on the side of degenerate, irrelevant losers."

What a thought-provoking response, isn't it? I guess she thinks my avatar's my real face?

"And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
'Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA."

-- Lee Greenwood

He is not worthy as president or commander in chief.
Nor can he account for his enlistment or explain how he got placed to the head of the line for service in the TANG.
I find it passing currious how he can talk about sacrifice and duty .

these great soldiers have defended our shore,s for years and their reward? NOTHING! Oh Yes! I forgot we gave them medals,a great comfort when you are old and find life hard to fight for yourself, never mind somebody else. Although I noticed that the latest great old soldier to be cast aside still wears his with pride.
This great old gentleman should be welcomed back with open arms and all the politicians, all the royals and military big knobs made to get down on their knees in gratitude to welcome him.As we all know, he is not the first gurkha to be treat in this disgusting way it has gone on for years, I only hope that the Gurkhas and all their people know that it is the powers that be in our country that will not give them the recognition they deserve and not the grass roots of our country. I know it is no consolation to the Gurkhas but our own soldiers i.e. the ordinary squaddies are treated with the same contempt.
It makes you ashamed to be british.

I have many friends who are very liberal Democtats. I have to endure on a daily basis verbal jabs, vieled insults and outright hatred aimed at me and those who have the same political opinions.

When I do respond I am basically told that I don't have the right to condemn them for their beliefs and that I should shutup and keep my opinions to myself.

Is this the norm among mainstream Democrats or am I stuck in an enclave of Democrats who wish for a totalerian/socialist government?

Would Jimmy Carter support him? After all it was due to Jimmy Carter's support and "validation" of the Venezuelan elections that allowed Hugo Chavez to take Communist control of the country. He is now shutting down the media, silencing his critics, nationalizing banks and industry.
Yet, the Left is silent. I guess they need to make up their villains, and they must be American, or so it would seem.
Your thoughts?

You conservative dopes give $millions in tax breaks to those who need it the least and get the most benefits from being protected in the USA, yet you still whine the super rich elite need to be given more money. Thank God the government bankrupting tax cuts pushed by Bush expire after 2010!

Its not that G.W. Bush lied, he is trying to cover someone elses butt for helping the Arab nation fight off Soviet soldiers in the 70's. We didnt plant the weapons, we gave them weapons for our best interest, oil. Oil is the weapon of mass destruction...why would that be? My opinion: Oil is becoming scarce, as we all know with gas prices sky-rocketing. Nations will be starting to fight for it. Oil is so powerful, that it may just kill millions...wht are your thoughts?
