Iraq War

i think both s-k and chambers have some huge misconceptions about the other side. First, items are cheaper in the US for sure across the board because we don't pay taxes out of our ass for everything like most european countries do. Also, the US has been off of the gold standard since 1937, and there has been no gold in fort knox since the early 70's so a nuke on fort knox, chambers, would be a waste of nuke. Third point here, living in the US for 18 months does not qualify you for shit my parents were immigrants as well some other family friends and they all say it took them at least 5-10 years to fully adjust and understand American culture, and they same goes for European countries, unless you've lived there for an extended period of time you know shit about the country.

Another thing that bothered me, someone in the first pages of the post was treating the US government institute separate from its people. The US government is so horribly intertwined with its voting base, if you screw up once (and don't cover it up) you are done, the US is not like parliament where you vote for a party, in the US you vote for the person. Believe me, government is complex as hell (Political science is one of my two majors) so don't try to make any assumptions about Kerry or Bush, a lot of what all of you have been saying in wrong.

Last, some of you are young and some of you are older, but all of you need to grow up. This discussion is not about pride, or whose country is "better," this discussion is about being civil and enriching your intellect. All of you need to grow up and fast.
