Hi,Quote:
It's hard to say as long as we don't know more about all this!
how do you want to know more about this ? we only know what they want us to know, and that's all. "They" are the governments, journalists, army...
I don't think we can discuss about this since we haven't got a lot of informations, and we don't even know if they're real or not...
Simon, i disagree with your new picture. By doing this you're become the same as the man you want to discriminate. Don't you think so ?
Sylvain, I disagree with you. Would killing Hitler have made you the same as him, or would it have saved a lot of people, and may be the world from a big war?Quote:

It's not that I think that we should just go straight to kill Saddam Hussein, ..., but he is certainly a dangerous man.
On the other hand, what I don't like about Simon's picture is the blood on the Iraqi flag. The ideal thing would be to get rid of Saddam with as little trouble to Iraq people as possible. This way only we may have support from other countries from the region, and justify such an action. If it is another bloodshed, it will be the beginning for new ones again and again, until may be someone presses the Nuclear button :eek:
And by the way, Simon doesn't want to discriminate Saddam, just kill him ;).
That is because I had to cut away the original background and replace it with something else because otherwise I would have to fill in the gap that is created when Saddams head is removed. Therefore I removed the original background and pasted it in MSPaint over a background that I found should make clear that it is an Iraqi background. That is the reason and the only reason why I chose the flag, there was no other background to be found that made clear it is Iraqi within 50*50 pixels. I have nothing but sympathy for the Iraqi people.Quote:

I thought it would be funny but apparently some people can't appreciate anything. Shooting Saddam would nevertheless be an easy solution that makes no other casualties than a ruthless murderous dictator. The latter line indicates that I do want to discriminate him, because there are good reasons to. Anyway, since some people do not get or appreciate some humor I have already withdrawn it. It surprises me that a funny animated gif of killing someone without whom the world would be a lot better off causes negative reactions while my other animated gif of an atomic explosion, probably responsible for 1000's of death due to cancer, got none.
It's not the same thing. Making bombs explode must be fun: There are bombs exploding every where in most of the movies :D:DQuote:

Seeing Saddam's head explode awakes quite a happy feeling as well :D It is probably well deserved :p
Putting blood on Iraq's flag can make Iraqi unhappy about you while they should be unhappy about Saddam. And I'm not sure you needed the the Iraqi flag as a background to you gif. Most people know Saddam's face much better than the Iraqi flag. Actually, I thought it was Iraq's flag only because of Saddam's face in front of it. :o
As for the number of death: one Saddam is probably as bad as one atomic bomb.
May be next time you should send your avatar picture to an approval committee ;)
OK, my other idea was a similar one but then with bin Laden. Would that be approved?
You might have a different sense of humour, that's true ;) Honestly, I think it's bad taste, regardless whether it's hussein or bin laden.
Having an arsenal of weapons of mass destruction does not constitute a superpower.Quote:

On an unrelated note, President (oh, how I curse the title) Bush released a document - get this - which says:
Anyone who threatens the US's power will be destroyed
Anyone who attempts to become a nuclear power will be destroyed
Anyone who doesn't like the US will be destroyed
Anyone who attempts to check the US' power will be destroyed
and so on...
just two more years just two more years... then finally he will be gone.
Hmmm... I can say that I totally agree with the text at Elrond's signature. Soon USA will become like thick overgrown boy in theQuote:

kindergartner, for whom it is easy to offend others kids, because they cannot stick up for oneself.
And else one thing, once I had thought about why rich peoples try to climb to the politics. They have enough money, so what they haven't??? I do not think that most of them want to make life for ordinary people better. May be when you have enough money, you want to have else more and more something like power. For big countries I think it is analog situation to. USA must reckon to other countries and to their opinions.
Will he?Quote:

A lot of people, and not just ennemies of the USA hope so. This choice belongs to American only. Will they get rid of Bush or elect him again?
Good point. Unfortunately, during any war (at least historically in this country), the president's approval rate has skyrocketed. If the US is at war during the 2004 elections (the next presidential election), then Bush has more of a chance of being reelected, because it is extremely difficult to change leadership in the middle of a war.Quote:

But... if we are not at war, which I and many others truly hope, then review this list of things Bush has done while in office, and you decide for yourself whether or not he has furthered this country's efforts of peace, prosperity, safety and freedom:
- Retreated from a 23 year old intercontinental ballistic missile treaty with the former Soviet Union (the treaty prohibited arms buildup)
- He has personally antagonized dozens of countries, most notably Iraq, Iran, and North Korea, the three countries named to Bush's exclusive "Axis of Evil" club
- He has spent all the surplus $$$ from past years and created a deficit
- Declared the US the single remaining superpower and vowed to destroy anyone who challenged his power
- Declared a war on "terrorism," a very abstract idea
- Completely contradicted the UN by going to war with Iraq despite the fact no more than a single country (England) supports him, and that's only because of political pressure, which is one of the main things the UN tries to prevent
And the list could go on.
For the sake of my own safety, and the safety of the nations of the world, I sincerely hope that American citizens who care vote Democratic next time around.
Hmmm.......George War Bush is really a thorn in the flesh. I mean, I've disapprove of some of his actions since he took office.
Bill Clinton was better, despite the notorious fact that he committed those crimes that I committed.(sex scandal)
Anyway, his latest idea on the war on Iraq is atrocious.
But.....I'm not gonna waste my time speaking on such issues. After all, nothing would happen even if I do.
Say, George Washington was the first president of the US, right?
I heard he was a freemason or something.
I say Heard most people who go through Harvard end up being freemason :(Quote:

Is codeguru popular in Antarctica also ? :D :D That's only continent on planet earth known to human race and not listed.Quote:

I suggest instead of others, we should have name of continents so others can have continental identity at least.

As I said many posts ago, I don't think we should edit the poll (once again). We cannot correctly split 'Others', and people who already voted cannot vote again.
