    our government is crap. we let in millions of criminal (read: illegals) and going to let them get a free pass. since that is a felony, you think that if i shot and killed your best friend i could get freedom too?

    edit: no disrespect to you or your friend. just an example to open your eyes.

    I hate getting into political discussions. you always piss somebody off.

    the war was inevitable, but there was poor execution. honestly, if bush didn't start bombing somebody for the attacks, everyone would have turned completely against him at once(how ironic :rolleyes: ). we couldn't sit back and accept defeat in what had happened, we're too proud.

    how many people were for the war, until one of our soldiers actually died?? after that moment, it became.. "get our troops out of there, they don't belong. it's vietnam all over." etc etc. It's just a difficult situation; on one hand, you dont' want to see there being guys like bin laden running around.. but on the other, once you eliminate him, another will rise up. so do you chose to leave it alone, or take on the seemingly never-ending groups of radical terrorists in the world? it's almost a lose lose situation. I still don't have a stance on the war. I won't openly state that I hate it, but I you won't ever hear me say it was a good idea either. and, I don't want to sound like I'm lulled into a sense of false security by the government, but if it's what they have to do, then do it. I just know I won't be going over to fight(almost a double-standard). if they ever implement a draft, I feel like I might lose an appendage that day :D .

    war in iraq had nothing to do with the attacks on america, they wernt iraqi they were afganistanis

    the war in iraq was for personal gain which is why your building permanent barracks over there and have massive corporations like halliburton making millions not to mention the oil

    and dont worry about a draft, im sure most people would rather go to jail than get blown to shit

    i know iraq has nothing to do with the attacks. but, we didn't go straight to iraq, either. that was what our republicans would call killing two birds with one stone, an added bonus.

    Yes, unquestionably every member of the general public is more informed, moralistic and has a better clue of what is going on than the people in power. All people in power are implicitly evil, naive and out for their on gain. Each and every one of us could do a better job as a state leader, as all top politicians deliberately screw things up as their in the business of losing face and diminishing their public reputation....:rolleyes:

    Well, I decided to wait a couple months to purchase my white beckhams, and get a new phone. I ended up buying the LG VX8600, aka the flip version of the chocolate --

    I love it so far. And it feels great to text again and be able to see the screen, and read received texts.

    Well, my new for every two was due in march, but I can't wait that long.. so I could've gotten it for 30 bucks (with rebate), but I paid $130 (with rebate)

    They wouldn't let me take the new every 2 a few mos early.. jerks.

    The caption could read "Neil Warnock demonstrates Michael Essien's usual tackle technique"...
    (start rant) I mean the guy is a true liability. He's commited horrific tackles that could've easily ended careers, most notably when he first got in the cheatski side, but all through his days since. It's not through real malice IMO, it's just literally he has no concern for the safety and health of his fellow professionals. 61 mins today the dirty cheating fcuk cleaned out a prone Crouch who could quite easily have fell and broke his neck, on his spine causing paralysis or any number of limb injuries, but SEN didn't care, just ran under him spinning his legs out. Interesting as 7 mins later Alonso lumped a ball that hung over the super-protected species that is a cheatski goalkeeper, Riise could've easily done similar damage whilst making a legitimate play at the ball but having an ounce of class about him realised he couldn't justify endangering someone with no chance of getting the ball so saved Cech the brain damage (though it may have been more through self-preservation to avoid the mourinHO witchhunt had he blown a feather near his goalie)...

    And my god has SWP become a disgrace. I wonder if he and Joe
    "whiny little bit" Cole can tell eachother apart anymore

    (end rant)

    Well, I've been back at school for 3 days and the amount of work I've already gotten is retarded, I had a b!tch of a Maths Tutorial to finish...which I thankfully have done, although it took ages which was to be expected since I hadn't done Maths for like 2 months!:eek:

    Ahh school, back when u were evaluated on how well u did as opposed to how long you were there....

    so anyways, I was thinking about Becks preds, with his impending move to LAG (ha, I find that funny, "lagging" being a popular term of lacking effort etc round these parts) and his quasi-gardening leave, and the new Eng colorway due for release summertime, we've very likely seen the last of the swerve's on his feet. Looking on getty and it seems that's a sum total of 4 GAMES he'll havbe worn these signature shoes! I mean the ignite R9's didn't get a great outing, but more than that! Even NBA players wear shoes more (bar allstar colorways etc etc).

    Oh, and whilst on getty, I saw where Apps gets her hi-de-hi inspiration:

    BTW, SA school's years start in January, not in September like England.

    That jacket on Beckham is pretty cool though, my kinda style...except that black braiding is a teeny bit OTT.

    yes lets continue under the government and never question them, why the school system is failing and the average person cant afford to live comfortably without massive debt and re mortgages while politicans have mansions in the country and 3 jaguars and wage billion pound wars base on illegal reasoning

    :rolleyes:
