I don't ask if I know the answer. Obviously I don't know the answer. If you have no desire to participate in any effective communication, you have no purpose being in a discussion forum, unless you are here as a troll, that is.

Arrow Re: Mumbai style attack could easily occur here

Sure it could. We all know that they are here and planning. But if I may let me please submit something I've been thinking about as well. Will America draw a line in the sand when our government goes against it's own people?

As the coming administration moves closer to changing this free nation into a socialistic society, I can't seem to get out of my head a comment Obama made in July while giving a speech in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

He said, "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

I try to look at this rationally, but still I can not but help feel just a tad apprehensive about it all, as he makes his appointments of radical social leftists. He goes on to give preview of his plan for America, by stating, "People of all ages, stations, and skills will be asked to serve."
Further he plans to double the Peace Corps' budget by 2011, and expand AmeriCorps, USA Freedom Corps, VISTA, YouthBuild Program, and the Senior Corps. Plus, he proposes to form a Classroom Corps, Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, Veterans Corps, Homeland Security Corps, Global Energy Corps, and a Green Jobs Corps.

Now if you look at the Department of Defense budget, it runs around $482 billion for 2008. He has announced his intentions to cut "tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending," including $9-10 billion per month spent in Iraq and expenditures for the missile defense system, while increasing the force size of the Army and Marine Corps.

James Jay Carfano, Ph.D wrote an article titled Assessing Plans to Deploy U.S. Military on the Homeland Security Front. Carfano states Recently, there has been much speculation about announced Pentagon plans to deploy U.S. troops in the United States for homeland security missions and how the incoming Obama Administration might implement such a procedure.

While I do agree there are times and sometimes very urgent missions to employ military forces in our country, there are very clear guidelines for using such forces correctly.

When Obama continually spews his infrastructure plans, one has to, in light of the whole picture, wonder if it is really jobs for America, or a guise for a more sinister "Bigger Plan" held secret in a decieitful mind? Is he concerned that half of this country quite likley will become more and more
angry, as in your face socialism is installed? Will he then need that infrastructure to move his "Civilian Police" force and it's equipment through our great land? At this point I would submit it's anyones guess. I'm just saying.

I fear we will at some point will be fearful of our neighbor, who will sign on to his new day plan and start pointing fingers at anyone who may have a voice of opposition.

Am I wrong? You decide! I'll listen.

You might want to update what you know or rather don´t know about the pyramids.

Quote:
excerpt from the link below
Then who built the pyramids? It was the Egyptians who built the pyramids. The Great Pyramid is dated with all the evidence, I'm telling you now to 4,600 years, the reign of Khufu. The Great Pyramid of Khufu is one of 104 pyramids in Egypt with superstructure. And there are 54 pyramids with substructure. There is support (that) the builders of the pyramids were Egyptians. They are not the Jews as has been said, they are not people from a lost civilization. They are not out of space. They are Egyptian and their skeletons are here, and were examined by scholars, doctors and the race of all the people we found are completely supporting that they are Egyptians.

The first slave holders in recorded history btw are the Sumerians.

Sumerians

Have fun reading.

Lol!
Teeth?
Surely this stereotype has arisen out of the American preoccupation of spending large amounts of money on having their teeth done, a pastime which, like cosmetic surgery, the British find too vain to become involved in.

Food?
Sausage on a stick is not something to boast about.

Better looking women?
Ill give you that, after all most of your men are in fact women so by that you have the numbers easily sewn up....kudos

I was discussing how Ireland beat the shit out of Scotland in rugby this year 34-14. Please explain what the NFL has to do with that?

Perhaps you should take your own advice and invest in reading before posting?
What youre claiming to be Irish now?

And a rugby fan to boot?

Anyway, its best for you not to get into details re history of Ireland, scotland and britain. Especially given that 'the scots' come from Ireland. Moreover, your support of ireland in opposition to Britain will lead you directly into the support of terrorism, which has been the resort of Irishmen for over a hundred years - youre not going to go that far are you?

If one is going to harass another poster based on their gender, it would seem relevant to demonstrate the gender of the poster. Do so.

The Scots do maintain significant Norman influences in their cooking, and thus (in my experience) have very good food available in even the most rural areas. However the food of England does leave much to be desired, unless one looks to the ethnic foods imported from India and the like.

American cuisine (were there such a singular thing) is far from "sausage on a stick," though.

Dont worry pram, Im only having a laugh with him, he did just say 'Fuck the scots and brits' after all for no good reason. Naughty dammit boy.

Re cuisine. The traditional british recipes are as good as any other, though poorly represented as they make poor take away food. We may not be known for our home grown cuisine but thats no matter as really the only other people across the world who are Id say are the spanish, french, italians and Indians.
