it's never going to happen. peace that is. we are a violent species. always have been. tell me a time in the history of mankind when there wasn't some type of war waging. always has been, always will be. even within our own countries we fight each other. we wage war against nations yet can't drive peacefully on the freeway with our fellow allies. everything is a battle. we are a dominant species. you have to feel better than me at night or you can't sleep. bigger car, nicer toys, larger breasts........ for what? to say we are better? better than......?

so we rant. and we whine. and we complain. all the way to starbucks and back.

Come on your telling me you don't like a big ol' set of titties?

The longest period of peace in recorded history was the Pax Romana.

27 BC to 180 AD

Pity modern man can't do the same 200 years of peace sounds good!

real ones.


that's just it. we all want the gold but nobody wants to kill the leprechaun.


i see all these people protesting the war. then they fight each other to get out of the parking lot after the rally.

Thank you. That is the point I have tried to make a few times. Disengenious protesting by people that either A. Complain just for the sake of complaining, B. Don't give a shit and are just trying to look cool in someone elses eyes, C. Can't come to terms with the fact that they made their bed now they have to sleep in it and are so pissed off they can't come to terms with the fact that they are responsible for their own actions, so they point their finger at the usual suspects.

That's great, Chris. It describes a lot of folks I know, even a couple who post in this forum.

If the shoe fits, Med.

And by the way ... why is it that every time you and your phony premises get backed into a corner you proceed with personal attacks? As I've said here many times, if you cannot back your premises up, then strengthen your arguements. Your bluster and attempt at intimidation may work with children and women ... but not here. Not with me anyway.

Well EXCUUUUUSE me. I forgot what a "tough guy" you are. I just want you to know your intimidation bullshit doesn't work on me either, so go ahead with your bully pulpit type of bullshit trying to brainwash the younguns on this site. Just be aware that you scare me not, and I'll refute your nonsense anytime I feel like it. If the way I go about it suits you not, tough shit. Get used to it. I hate opinionated Bullies like you.
