Great price on gas, as low as 5 cents a gallon in "IRAQ" Iran is about 35-38 cents. I'd like to go of on a politicail rampage, but I won't. This country and others need to gas boycott for a bit. I know thats not going to happen. Stop the foreign aid with the middle east. I have the master plan! I just need the power, If I was "King for a day. Ha! HA! O.k I'll stop before I get stupid. | ||

AMEN SPIDERMAN!!!! but- I can see it now (thats not a very american way of handling things... and would rouse more "terrorist" attacks...it doesn't get anymore terrorist than dropping tactical nukes from 60,000 ft)  | ||

Anyone want to start an import/export company. Just need someone to go over to Iraq and float a couple of tankers back. We can run'em up through the Mexican border.  | ||

Posted by Eurotwins : "Glass parking lots can't terrorize....John" Of course they can't... but what about those in other countries... like.. france... and belgium, and Iran and Syria? How about those right here in the U.S.? you gonna pave the planet with glass? if so I might just buy stock. Seriously, sounds like an excellent Idea, idealy.. But you gotta remember. Even though those countries may be harboring some terrorists, and supplying them with money, most terrorists are independent cells, self sufficient, working people, saving their money to become a martyr. It's sad, but inevitably true. The only true way to get rid of terrorism, is Genocide, and we all know what happened to the last guy who tried this.. WWII ring a bell?

no, glass parking lots can't terrorize, but their neighbors can (and probably will, if the current situation is anything to learn from). so then we take out their neighbors, and their neighbors... where does it stop? there's got to be a better way. | ||

heh... looks like frausty beat me to it. well said, mr. void. | ||
| Frausty_void |
yeah looks like we both thought the same thought, at the same time.. is that like a paradox? I used to be FrAuStY12R, until this little forum hiccup, and I changed info in my profile... now that account is fubar and I can't post with it.. I named this one _void as once the site gets repaired, I'll have blake delete it. | ||

If you make the "Glass parking lot" large enough you will cut off the funding. The other ones you put a bounty on (open to the public) or issue tags like hunting season....John (Message edited by eurotwins on August 17, 2005) (Message edited by eurotwins on August 17, 2005) | ||

Got an idea... Lets blow up Nashville and blame it on Iraq and Osama. Within hours there will be 3 million red necks on their way over to the middle east in a million bass boats. LOL These are the jokes  | ||
| Cerbero |
heh. now that's funny.  | ||
| Bcordb3 |
Lets blow up Nashville Not funny, think about what you just said. Have you forgotten 9-11? The U.S. soldiers who are dying in the Middle East. | ||

What have I started. I'm laughing as well. I'm not going to put my real thoughts on the board. I will post saying, I'm very proud of being an "AMERICAN" and becuase we are truely free people. We can own guns, vote, choose what religion if any that we want. A freind just got back from overseas were he had a price on his head, just for being an American, but the gas was real cheap. | ||
| Spiderman |
Now I knew even after the disclaimer this would happen. I tell ya what remeber 12-7-41. Remember WWII and WWI remember those that long ago fought on a idea, not yet a country? That was a joke, a joke! | ||

Easiest way to lower gas prices would be to have our tank drivers hang American flags on every other oil well they pass in Iraq. One for us, one for them. Might as well get something out of all the money and and american lives we have spent in Iraq. | ||

Notice how terrorism always comes up in a gasoline discussion? It's too bad the arabs export as much viciousness and greed as they do oil. If it wasn't for their one valuable export, you could build a wall around that region and not ever care what was on the other side of it. OTOH, we will keep doing stoopid things like buying Excursions and restricting turbodiesel autos until gas gets to, oh, about five bucks per gallon. Then the soccer moms will go back to minivans and we'll start buying stick-shifts. {/rant off} Yeah, right. In the meantime, keep grinning while you get 60mpg! | ||

Showing a willingness to do something, people will look and wonder a little. Demonstrate that willingness and people will think and act. Demonstrate it a second time, others will know you mean it. I know ,I know. I aint right in the head. | ||

True, making a "glass parking lot" would be 'unthinkable', but you should never let your adversary believe you wouldn't do it. The entire premise that precluded a nuclear exchange during the 'cold war' was just that. Both sides had a bluff going. True, the bluff was backed by lots of megatons of thermonuclear capability. Fortunately for this planet as a whole, neither side blinked. I for one wouldn't want to see us lobbing nukes as that would be opening Pandora's box. But your adversary needs to believe that you would be willing to use that option if they push far enough. And if you don't think Osama and his merry men are considering it, go look up "Operation Hiroshima". As far as the price of gasoline here versus in other countries, it's not a fair comparison. Ever look at how much of that price per gallon is taxes? | ||

On the subject of terrorism, the Department of Homeland Security has contracted with the University of Maryland to study terrorism worldwide. The study group has a database of acts of terrorism that goes back to 1970, and there are 70,000 acts of terrorism in the database. That statistic might be surprising, but not as surprising as this: Acts of domestic terrorism outnumber acts of international terrorism by seven to one. Think about that and how fortunate we are here in this country - so far. |
