How old/young are you (to all)?

1 slice of chocolate fudge cake please lol

 

I just gotta say, lets all put out a prayer for the troops over in Iraq this weekend, I know some of you may not agree with the war, but our troops are there putting their lives on the line. Since many of us especially are from either the UK or the USA, we need to support our military. My father was in Vietnam with the 101st airborn some 30 years ago, so I fully support and pray for our military. Lets all give our best to the troops, they deserve it. Lets all pray for peace in our world, if nothing else.

 

Good call Liquid. We should all take a moment to pray for peace.

 

I believe we should have given the weapons inspectors a bit more time.

 

Dela, you wouldn't believe the protests over here, especially being in college. We had people walk out on thursday, everyone is in a pissing contest with eachother. The way I see it, this war is a necessary evil. We need to disarm this guy to save his people. The anti-war protesters are such a minority as well. Its time to unite behind our troops, and save the people of Iraq. We're certainly not going to pull out now. War is never a wonderful option, but we've already seen that Iraq lied to the UN having launched 3 SCUD missiles which they claimed to not have. Anyway...thats my rant, I hope I have been respectful of everyone's opinion.

 

1,000,000 people gathered in London yesterday to protest against the war. I don't call that a minority.

 

I'm not saying the anti-war protesters don't have a point, because they do. They absolutely do, but when I hear about people marching and singing give peace a chance while throwing bottles and rocks at riot officers, it kind of makes me shake my head. Granted 200,000 in new york and 1,000,000 in london is nothing to sneer at at all, but compared to the total populations of both cities or even their respective contries, its nothing. I can't speak to london, since I am fully aware most people don't support the war there, and let me say again, I am NOT pro-war, just pro-troops. However I also realize that the people of Iraq (in general) are not huge fans of Saddam Husein. Also, In regards again to the protests against the war, they are not going about it in the right way. People here in Minneapolis were blocking streets, entrances to govt. buildings etc and wouldn't even listen to statements made by people supporting the war, however when the rally for our troops took place, several thousand more people turned out and were completely peaceful and respectful, even when speakers representing the nation of Islam decided to comment. Im speaking from what I have witnessed, and while "less than the majority" is probably better of a term than "minority" all I'm getting at is more people support the action we've taken then not. President Bush is definately a Republican through and through, but why didn't any protests occur when Clinton invaded Kosovo or attacked Iraq during his term as president. I think more people out there are Anti-Bush than Anti-War...I can't see this same reaction if it were a democrat that made this decision. Once again, these are strictly my opinions and I am open to all criticism you may have.

 

Dela & Wizkid. No I did not get bored, but with my line of work it is difficult to log in and join in on a regular basis. My team is Tottenham Hotspurs, and yes they have been playing c**p for the last few years if not longer. Just caught the news and it appears a Patriot missile just took out a Tornado??????
Hope this war is over soon.

 

I fully support the words you say Dela !!!

but I dont support thargor's team the Spurs. lol

 

Well althoygh I can't take the piss out of any Man U fans (yet) we have just overtaken Everton in the league so I (and other Liverpudlians in our school) can take the piss out of the Evertonians.

 

Who ? and.... what ?
