I have only recently (last three months) spent much attention to these message boards. I have posted a few messages both instegating and answering and have found it to be a boys (and girls) club, where we all chat and congratulate each other on still being on line, as if that mattered! Some threads have relevance to the way the world world works and others leave me me breathless in their idiocy! To all people who are slaves to the internal combustion engine, plastic manufacturers, and all other deluded imbeciles who believe that oil is an infinite source and is worth fighting over, WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG, DONT YOU HAVE CHILDREN? How do you all think they and their descendants are going to see us? Hello AMERICA - your nation is at war so it can put gas in your tanks! Hello UK, your nation is at war because Tony Blair likes to consort with half-witted clebrities, Bush being first amongst them! |

I don't think oil is worth fighting over. It's all going to run out one day and we will have to resort to alternative sources of energy. When that happens any war conducted today with the primary reason of seizing control of oil reserves would have been so much waste of time and lives. Tony Blair is on his way out. But it remains to be seen whether Gordon Brown, if he succeeds him to office, will have different policies to his predecessor. 'No one can make you inferior without your consent.'

How do you all think they and their descendants are going to see us? Spelling mistakes? Is that your entire answer? Not a rant, just a need to know that the grand old USA is aware that they are at war because big business needs the revenue, so you can all fill your gas tank for less than it takes to feed an entire village in Namibia for a month! |

Hello AMERICA - your nation is at war so it can put gas in your tanks! Maggie, America is at war because the destruction of the World Trade Center was the last straw in about 30 years of mostly gadfly attacks against us. When the last attacks on our soil caused the deaths of around 3000 of our citizens the largest supporter of terrorism in the Middle East was targeted. There is no evidence that Iraq had any direct link to the WTC & Pentagon attacks, but there was proof that the mass murderers that carried out the attacks were trained in a facility in Iraq. When placed beside an ongoing program to develop WMDs, attempts to procure yellow cake ore and the utter failure of diplomatic solutions, the US chose to invade Iraq. |

Hello AMERICA - your nation is at war so it can put gas in your tanks! They were also already firing rockets at our planes and were not complying with 13 UN resolutions! Red Bull Air Racing Gas price by zip at Seti |

Hello AMERICA - your nation is at war so it can put gas in your tanks! OK the world was horrified by the attacks on the Twin Towers, but was New York horrified by the hundreds of British troops, and innocent women and children, killed in Northern Ireland, butchered by lunatic gangsters who were funded by those whose ancestors had come from Ireland. The same gangsters who now maim and steal and deal drugs because they never really believed in freedom, just how to turn a buck without without actually lifitng a hand to make their living! |

Hello AMERICA - your nation is at war so it can put gas in your tanks! Maggie, we were horrified, and police in New York and other cities in the US worked closely with Scotland Yard and Interpol to stop the American supporters of the murders in Ireland. Another thing that differentiates the situation in Northern Ireland from that in Iraq is that the US, British and Irish governments were working to stop the terrorists there. |

Hello AMERICA - your nation is at war so it can put gas in your tanks! The war is not confined to American soil, for the first time since your civil war you are under threat - welcome to the real world, every country in the rest of the world has been bombed, blitzed, and seiously damaged! Check your news broadcasts, how many incidents have involved a company based or funded by the USA |

Not to mention the fact that the USA has been feeding, clothing, and medicating the REST of the planet for the last 60 years. The UNited Kingdom, France, Spain, The Netherlands, Germany,Portugal and several other world powers at the time went about their merry way invading, and occupying a good portion of this planet for many centuries! Name ONE instance where the United States of America has wantonly invaded another nation for the sole purpose of occupation? Just one...How about never. It turns my stomach to listen to people rant about OUR standard of living. That is not only inappropriate, it's down right disgusting. We pour out our hearts, lives, pocketbooks to the rest of the world and all we get in return is a slap in the face. What really IS annoying is the fact that WE have people from nearly EVERY nation on earth living, working, visiting, and getting educated, HERE, in OUR country, while at the same time protesting our way of living...well, here's one Veteran that will NEVER apologize for the way I live to any other person on the face of this earth.

I have never been to America. You have a written Constitution right? We have something called an 'unwritten Constitution' which doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me as I thought you either have a Constitution or you don't. The UK is regarded as a democracty, but I don't think it is as democratic as America. Our leader is still in power for over 10 years. I don't think your Presidents are allowed to remain in power for that long are they? The only way to get rid of them here it seems (bar a general election) is for them to come under pressure to go either by their Cabinet members or other MPs. That seems a rather shabby way of doing things. Sue. 'No one can make you inferior without your consent.' Eleanor Roosevelt. |

If you get curious enough you can read it here Our President can only stay in office for 4 years per term, and a maximum of two terms for a total of eight years. Not quite the ten years you were speaking of, but in the case of some Presidents, far too long anyway.
