The dollar...?

BTW in Scotland we'd have Aberdonians, Aberdonians have people from Elgin

I remeber in the pub some time last year you made a very good point.

The cruelest people in any kind of social structure, are those who find themsleves second from the bottom. Citing the KKK as an example, dedicating their lives to oppressing folks, just to ensure it stayed that way, that someone was still worse off than them.

I guess that's me in this example, as an Aberdonian, ooh errr.

At least I won't have to lynch anyone, or burn down any churches. I can just let the Elgish Ironside's wheels down, flip him a V, then toddle off all nonchalant.

I went to see Jerry Sadowitz do his magic/comedy show the other week and, right enough, as a Glaswegian he told jokes about Aberdonians.

One of them went along the lines of 'Police are still mystified as to the motive of the guy in Ipswich who is murdering prostitutes. If the murders had happened in Aberdeen then the motive would most probably have been that the prostitutes didn't have change for a fiver.'

That doesn't make sense.

We don't pay the prostitute, we pay the farmer.

Like the 'credible' evidence of WMD?  

I'm overly glad that you and many others find this a humorous issue. Please keep this good humour when Iran and their religious nut president get ahold of Nuclear weapons and either threaten or attempt to use them on Israel and other western/NONmuslim powers.

Or credible evedence of a President with a MAJORITY (ie not gerrymandered) vote being called a threat to democracy by the US? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4723902.stm

Boring saying nothing. Oh wow! The SecState calims a publicly anti-American Latin American president is not good. Reall shocker there!

Or that Chavez was properly and democratically elected AGAIN in 2006, with a huge majority? http://www.eueomvenezuela.org/pdf/EUEOM_Venezuela_Presidential_Election_2006_Preliminary_Statement.pdf Can you say the same for good ole Dubya?

LOLZ The election practices and accuracies of a 2nd world South American country are your great baner of democracy in action? LOLZ

"Widespread institutional Propaganda"

Also, questioning whether or not Bush was elected is very old and boring argument and holds very little sway with someone who had their vote in 2000 DIScounted for being in the military (and assumed Republican by Gore and his BS artists).

Or evidence of one of Bush's backers publicly calling for the same democratically elected president to be assassinated http://edition.cnn.com/2005/US/08/23/robertson.chavez/index.html

DBL LOL Pat Robertson is a far right religious whacko with minimal influence on any government officials. Perhaps you find it better for the Venezuelan President standing alongside The Iranian President calling for the eradication of Israel and continued attacks upon The USA? Is that the type of rational and clearly superior President you like?

Also, howzabout some UK religious whackos? Howzabout Sheik Hookarm standing in FInsbury park Mosque weekly calling for sedition, murder, terrorism and being openly supported by George Galloway, CLaire SHort, and Ken Livingston?

Or Chavez supplying oil cheaper to poorer countries, and to poorer areas in the USA? http://www.gasandoil.com/goc/news/ntn54186.htm

Well if you can't spot blatant political propaganda......Oh Wait, OBV you can't because you rehash it and respew any Anti American (Oh and please don't say you are only anti-Republican when your broad stroke statements are consistently aimed at painting America not just her leadership) gibberish you can find with ZERO critique or alternate proposed solutions of any of the world problems The USA tackles

15 minutes finds this, from sources like the BBC & CNN, as well as the EEC report on the election.

Yeah in less than 1 min you can generate links for >>>1000 9/11 conspiracy theories as well ergo they all must be true.

Also <1min search will find you 1000s of links for shemale porn, random poker websites, cheap prescription drugs, a list of curse words in all languages, and other clearly credible items of interest.


Also:
BBC doesn't lend particular credibilty to much either in that Your OWN (UK) Generals and Admirals reffered to them as the Bagdad Broadcasting Corporation during the last invasion for the deceptive and disengenious attempts to portray anything even resembling a a balanced reporting approach.

CNN on the other hand is more likely to search for the most sensational story vice the most accurate.

EEC? LOLZ The credibility of anything coming out of this disjointed political body of ***** is more often than not questionable.

In Summary, I hold a personal distaste for The Bush administration for many reasons, but at the same time still take offence at uninformed broad swipes at America in general for taking action on numerous world fronts whilst a majority of the world stands by and condemns but does little. You disgree with American policy? Propose a reasonable alternative and a who to carry out these alternatives?

I DON'T CARE

ah you've been influenced by too much American TV.

my Glasgow influence makes me inform you lot to "Get it up yea's"

[Rod Paradise]

So, MadYank you ask for evidence, get it (from sources not allied with Chavez in the main), attempt to discredit it with LOLS and insults, but provide none of your own? Then you try and broaden the argument (a terrible habit of those without an argument)?

You were asked for evidence about my "anti-american BS" & challenged me to find some of my own. Job done, so time to put up or shut up - prove me wrong. (Preferably without descending into schoolyard insults again, I've been civil to you, let's see if you can manage the same).

I'm happy to do this via PM rather than keep this on the board.

[Nem]

 

 

[Acidmouse]

Someone who has the balls to defend Bush *no pun intended* really has to have a serious look at the real picture, even his most feverant supporters realise the mans a bumbling idiot who makes Regan look mildly intelligent.

OK let me start my reply with a great big

LOL

-You have provided evidence of nothing except the already well know fact that The Venezuelan President does not like The USA's power dominance over The Americas. This is neither new nor startling news.

-"broadening the argument"
O RLY?

I'm not the one who hijacked a GBP/$ exchange discussion with an "I hate The USA and their administration" argument. I believe that was YOU.

-"Not having an argument"

What was your point in the first place? You don't like $ dominance of world currency markets? Why again? Oh because you Like Venezuela better?

-"Job done"

What job did you complete aside from a cursory google search of US/Venezuela relations? Also, If you read my reply, you will note, I comment specifically on each of your links and their meaningfullness as evidence.

-"Schoolyard insults"

Please do point out these insults which hath so offended thee.
Also, please review your initial post and tell me whether or not it smells of a condescending anti-American tone?

-ATQs!!!!!!

Answer my questions? What alternative solutions are you proposing? And who do you propose take these actions? Do you propose Inaction on all fronts rather than ANY action by The USA?

[boldie]

You have to admit that taking no action is better then taking ill-advised, not thought through, poorly executed action such as in the case of Iraq.

Entire volumes will be written about this in the future I'm sure. That said, NO I do NOT agree that taking NO action in the case of Iraq would have been better. That is my personal opinion after some not so friendly 1st hand witnessing of what Saddam's "friends" were capable of on the humanitarian side.

I would cetainly agree that Bush and Co SHOULD MOST definitely have had better preparation, plans, execution, and exit strategies though.
