GITMO??????

  • As I mentioned in an earlier post regarding Gitmo, unfortunately there ARE some innocent detainees who need processed and freed. Your reuters story about the canadian I'm sure is true. But don't pretend that the U.S. is the ONLY country that makes these mistakes. Hell there's probably innocent people incarcerated in every U.S. state.
    Under the 8 years of Clinton the U.S. military was gashed with budget cuts yet still was full of waste and was ineffecient in some key areas. I'm sure Rumsfeld was shocked when he looked at the records of the spending habits of the Armed Forces. But it's kinda hard to get leaner after only your second attack on U.S. in 50 years.
    America doesn't run, and some how that pisses off most spineless liberals.

    Again, I will try to educate you a bit. We COULD keep back soybean seed, but Monsanto's patent laws don't allow that...there in-lies some of the growers distain for them.
    But as for corn, hybrid corn yields anywhere from 150-225 bushels per acre. IF we kept back the corn grain as SEED (and it would reproduce) we would see yields drop to 50 bushels per acre. U.S. agriculture could NOT supply the world's demand for protien at the those yield levels.
    But I guess Pepe if you want your cost of food to quadripple, we'll regress 60+ years in science.
    But until that time, you keep on keepin on, and let the experts, U.S. farmers, continue to provide the World with the SAFEST supply of meat and grain modern man has ever known.

    Commy, yet now we find common ground. NO government is the best gov'mt, less is more.
    And (I can't believe I'm bout to say this) but your point about empires falling is excatly what scares the hell outta me. As the US economy falters, China continues to gain momentum.

    Point, counter point, that's they way it works...

    what's so alarming about that? we wont be asked to fight every world war anymore, wont be expected to give tons of money for every humanitarian cause ever, all those commie socialists that have you up wetting the bed in terror at night will be gone becos government will collapse, and you can build your own delightful anarchic commune in central indiana full of good, red-blooded, ww2 vet descended, commie-hatin, bible-lovin REAL americans. we all win. let china take a crack at solving the world's problems like we have, see where it gets em.

    I have a couple buddies who have come home from Iraq and said the media has it all wrong in regards to how our troops are treated by the majority of the Iraqi people. We need our troops home just like they want their country to be at peace. So I ask, which is worse, a civil war over new-found power, or genocide of Kurds because they don't fall in line? And don't give me the "no proof of WMD" line that I've heard from my liberal friends. Any good hard evidence of WMD was destroyed or moved (or sold) while the UN was jacking around.
    And your take on innocent family members being killed...you make it sound like US troops were targeting women and children. Collateral damage is a sad fact of war.
    And don't get me started on France. They've had more forms of government in my life time than I've had cars and or girlfriends. (I'm 38 and No man whore) As an agriculturalist I can absolutely tell you the sole country that has exclusive trade agreements on wheat with such countries as Ethiopia...yes France. France is the #1 pain in the ass in doing Ag trade with the EU.


    Seriously Vedderman71, do you have any proof that Any good hard evidence of WMD was destroyed or moved (or sold) while the UN was jacking around or are you just always throwing out half-truths hoping your theories might actually stick to the wall?


    any chance in you answering this or are you going to just continue to insult people? i've answered all of your questions you''ve asked of me and even provided links

    Actually brandon10, if you had any well sourced knowledge other than your ignorant brief hash-pipe induced opinions you spew here, one of Eddie's best friends was Johnny Ramone, well known right-wing conservative. Johnny and Ed spent many hours playing Johnny's juke-box of classic rock and discussing not rock 'n roll, but...wait...Politics. (Rolling Stone) And you prove your inability to debate by "quoting" my post and telling me I'm not worth your time, yet while not making any valid points to re-buff my quotes from the known liberal public domain known as NPR.
    I was able to get 2nd row @ the Champaign, IL show back in April of '03, just after the band was taking heat for "Bushleager." I had a custom made T-shirt w/ "Bushbacker" on the back and "Conservatives have feelings too" on the front. The girls in the front row ahead of me got Ed's attention during the bridge of "Alive," and we showed him my shirt. Ed got a big smile and gave me a thumbs up.
    The point of this whole mess is give a damn, don't stay on the side-lines and criticize others while not having a well found factual point of your own.
    He who casts stones in a glass house...
    Game on brandon10...and I'm "Wicked Smart" and have shot down much bigger fish than your lame un-founded takes a long time ago. Bring IT!

    Seriuosly?? You are comparing yourself to Johnny Ramone?! :roll: I guess that's what "wicked smart" people do? How smart do you have to be to realize you are a complete douchebag? Would that be "crazy smart"? Or "super duper smart"? Or "out of this world smart"? Oh I know...it's "Sarah Palin smart"! That's what you are...."Sarah Palin smart". You should really change your name from Vedderman to Sarah Palin smart.

    Oh and hey SarahPalinsmart, I know how Eddie feels about conservitive know it alls like you because I talked with him about it. See that picture on the right? That's Eddie and I. I talked politics with him. And trust me, everything you say here in this thread would disgust him!!!

    You are more of an enemy to the United States than a peace loving Persian.

    is the list of shows supposed to impress me or somehow win the argument for you? shall we measure dick sizes next? :roll:

    1. i have no problem with it other than the fact that you seem to think it grants you some sort of superiority over others. both my grandparents served, one in ww2, one in korea. you don't see me bragging about it or using it in some pathetic attempt to lend inferior arguments credibility. and you certainly doing see me telling europeans that they should be slobbin my knob becos of what my daddy's daddy did. you're cheapening the sacrifices that not only they, but also our allies (including the USSR) made by using them as a cheap ego boost, like you deserve a pat on the back for it. i'd also say your comment about the fox hole is pretty damn laughable since by your own admission, YOU sure as hell never served in one. might want to look into that before you start throwing charges of 'yellow.' why didnt you enlist for gulf war 1, since you're generations older than me?

    2. my disdain for indiana is a personal grudge and revolves around elliott hall and campus coincidentally. don't be hurt by it. i'm from ohio, which is only tolerable becos i can tell myself at least it isn't indiana ;)

    better to be wetting the bed in 94 becos i was still a kid than to be a grown man whining like a baby and living in terror of those bogeyman commies and terrorists (i tried to spell it the way your fav president says it but it doesnt translate to english) still. the cold war is over. your black and white way of seeing the world is dead. the so-called greatest generation is dying and it's high time we stopped acting like we're all that and a bag of chips and started showing some respect for the rest of the world that isn't conditioned upon them kissing YOUR ass for accomplishment made by your GRANDFATHER. the US will not stay on top as long as we keep alienating everyone else in the world.

    And Before you all show your ignorance on this topic just know the FDA, USDA and the EPA have all endorsed these technologies. These advances actually allow growers to use LESS pesticides and chemicals by modifying a protein in the parent seed.


    didn't the FDA only approve rBGH AFTER a Monsanto exec and a lawyer for Monsanto stepped down and took positions in the FDA?
    Liberals and many in this thread have very interesting way of "estimating" the number of civilian casualties. So I did a little research of my own, thinking at first to go to Fox News, but I knew you all wouldn't appreciate their figures. So what I have here is an excert from a recent interview from NPR:

    or maybe because it's next to impossible to find a transcript of a Fox News show?

    i'm willing to bet this will be the only time you accept NPR as a valid news source or anything they say

    that's clever... i like:)

    Americans have a lot to be proud of... why so many unfortunately rave about preaching liberty and freedom to the rest of the world will never cease to amaze me... it should just be accepted, if nothing else, that war is waged, perhaps out of necessity, and that places like Gitmo will follow (and really every country that;s invaded by foreign soldiers is a Gitmo; Gitmo proper just happens to have the benefit of media hype at least)... but saying that that shit's being done in the name of freedom etc is what MOST angers fuckers all over the world... to an extent, leaders of most nations do the same as well as rebel/ Islamic militant groups ... but not to the same, crazy, fucked up degree... it so needs to be realized that war is never something to rave about or be proud of... if those close to you have fought in wars, the last thing to be done is to treat them like fuckin trophies... i've had a very close family member fight in a war against India, and i just pray God has fuckin mercy on him... how people can just tell themselves, apparently quite easily and only too often, that all their respective enemies are in some way "evil" or hardly fuckin human, and that they themselves are not the same, so fuck em up and be proud of it, is beyond me... Sad world we live in

  • I knew better than to reason with any of you libs.
    My point about Ed enjoying talking politics is that we all don't have to agree but a discussion and dialog can be good. I used to debate a buddy of mine, but we spin ourselves back to the same basic fundamental diffrences.
    One man's mind sharpens another man's like metal to metal, sword to sword...bet none of you even get that refernce and the "Source."
    The 2 things I referenced were in "defense" the cheap shot from soulsinging who wrote:
    "...central indiana full of good, red-blooded, ww2 vet descended, commie-hatin, bible-lovin REAL americans."
    I feel no need to defend Who I Am and What I am to some one who has seen the world 11 years less than I have. My point about the shows I've seen was that I was into Pearl Jam while this guy was 12.
    So I HAVE seen plenty...and I ask myself as I write this and I'm thinking, "Why the hell do I give fuck what people I have never met and have NO idea who I am or What I am really like?"
    Just like I'm tired of defending who I am, I don't think we need to pander all our critics all over the world.
    The U.S. can't be run by a suggestion box or opinion polls like Clinton's did.
    Doing the Right Thing is Not always the Popular thing. That's what libs and socialist (same thing these days) do Not seem to have the abilty to wrap their brains around.
    Pepe your comment about "The Greatest Generation" makes my skin crawl. If you are living in the U.S., let me offer to buy your plane ticket straight the hell outta here. Your lack of appreciation of sacrifices made by previous generations is exactly what is weakening this Country, day by day, hour by hour. Makes me literally sick in the pit of my stomach.
    And one last thing Pepe, leave me to feeding the World, you keep on being Pepe....your ignorance on agriculture shows how far most have grown away from the land that feeds us.

    Listen SarahPalinsmart, The only one that should be leaving the States is YOU! You are the enemy within the borders. You are the terrorist. You are the one hampering peace and civility in this nation. You are old news. We the peaople have seen your kind for many years. And everyone is starting to realize who the real enemy to freedom and prosperity in America is..........YOU.

    Doing the Right Thing is Not always the Popular thing. That's what libs and socialist (same thing these days) do Not seem to have the abilty to wrap their brains around.
    Pepe your comment about "The Greatest Generation" makes my skin crawl. If you are living in the U.S., let me offer to buy your plane ticket straight the hell outta here. Your lack of appreciation of sacrifices made by previous generations is exactly what is weakening this Country, day by day, hour by hour. Makes me literally sick in the pit of my stomach.
    And one last thing Pepe, leave me to feeding the World, you keep on being Pepe....your ignorance on agriculture shows how far most have grown away from the land that feeds us.

    ha ha pepe, he pretty much told you to "love it or leave it"...such a simplistic position that is so 2003...

    i am pretty sure that soulsinging was joking. was there not a wink after his post?

    again your love of pearl jam is irrelevent on the moving train. i saw my first show in 1992 and i am 34. does that make me a better person or a bigger fan? no, not at all. and that does not make me a better debater, do you see my point? fandom has no bearing on this thread or any of the topics that we discuss on the train. like i said earlier, that is reserved for forums like the porch. yes soulsinging is younger than you, but your age does not entitle you to automatic bowing down and automatic respect. you earn respect on this board with reasoned debate, thought provoking posts, reputable links and sources to back your position, and not by being a prick or spouting things like "i am a bigger fan than you"...

    you say doing the right thing is not popular. you might have different ethics and morals than i do, but to me and the majority of american the right thing is get out the hell out of the middle east, close gitmo, provide insurance for all americans, and go back to being leaders in this world rather than a clandestine rogue country that will topple your country if we don't like the leader.

    lastly, i really doubt that people's lack of appreciation for what our grandparents have done is weakening this country hour by hour, day by day...this can never be proven and is the same thing i heard fat rush say last week. there is no evidence of that. besides weakness and strength in the sense you are referring to is subjective in nature.

    The issue I have with G-Bay is that we hear ANYTHING about it. It is a Military prison. If every detail of every WAR fought over the Centuries of Humanity was revealed, it would be upsetting and disturbing to the average working person whom a majority of which have not seen their loved ones killed protecting them. The place isn't supposed to be a Fucking Holiday Inn Express...It is holding prisoners who have killed, or plotted to kill UNITED STATES Soldiers and Citizens. To the media- Don't tell us of Military operations, the general public cannot handle it. ESPECIALLY The SUPER-Liberal, $UPER-Rich Musicians taking a stand against it. Take off the Rose-colored glasses, clowns. I love the music, but sometimes the "make love, not war" bullshit is too much.


    I hear ya, I can't get my daughter an H1N1 vaccination but I heard the prisoners at Gitmo are all getting them. Not sure if it's true or not but thats what I heard on the radio.

    ...is that place still open? I thought Obama was going to close it.

    If it's still open, how come we aren't hearing about it every second anymore?
    media tends to serve the state in the US.

    HAHA....terrorists are coming to a town near you.

    yes, some of those people are sent off to Guantanamo and then there's the demographic of innocent people who were picked up because of a hunch or their name was similar to someone else's or just being in the wrong place at the wrong time and then they are kidnapped, their families have idea where they are, are tortured and can be held like that indefinitely for nothing

    Seriously Pepe, do you have any proof that people with "the wrong last name" is who is being held at Gitmo, or are you just always throwing out half-truths hoping your theories might actually stick to the wall?
    I agree process those incarcerated. But to just shut the base down? Where's the planning in that?
    Oh ya, I forgot, what was once the most influential country in the world is being "led" by a Junior Senator whose biggest supporter is a day-time talk show host. Of course he has a plan...
    Only in America...."It's Evolution Babe-Bee!!"


    President Obama...150 days of experience as JR. Senator....YEAH GO OBAMA, SAVE THE FREAKIN WORLD. Look out if GOV. PALIN wears something people don't like though. Peoples thinking process is totally wacked.

    I find a bit odd that the biggest critics of US policies are folks from Polland, England and some from Canada.
    I realize WWII was several decades ago, but my Grandfather didn't take bullet in vain so you folks weren't forced to become Nazis and speak German. Whenever the world gets in a skirmish, many turn to the US for help. We ARE the World's police, so be it.
    I'm not going to apologize for the fact that we, as proud Americans, tend to take exception to people attacking innocent people; let alone Our Own innocent.
    The Known Terrorist that are confined at Gitmo are the same people Recruiting the suicide bombers, Training young people how to fire an AK-47 at the innocent. Many of the detainees were on CIA and FBI "whatch lists" that were basically "observed" during the weak Clinton administration.
    If you want to sit back and take unfounded ignorant cheap shots at the US from the confort of your peaceful home-town, then that is your choice. Or, you could ask the newly liberated Iraqi people what they think of their recently new found freedoms.
    Also, maybe travel to New York City and ask the survivors and family members of those lost on 9/11 what Their Opinion of closing GITMO would be. You think their response would be: "Sure, show compassion upon those whom helped plan gruesome attacks on the innocent. Hell let all move to NYC so they can be our neighbors!"
    Better yet, let's ship these fine detainees to Poland, South England and Canada.
    Hell even France "volunteered" to take ONE prisoner! How brave of Frenchie...but what else would you expect?


    Thank You Vedderman.I am not so good with words and you said it all for me.....I hope the little puke from south of england reads this!!!!!
