Misty Caldwell...I thank you. Beyond all the arguments I have against the ridiculous notion of blind patriotism to any country, this post of yours is a simple, factual, work of art. I have nothing left to say about the matter because of you....thanx again.

Half truths and lies and also a bunch of who cares.

If people would read from the beginning, things wouldn't have been repeated 50 times, I agree.

If people give it the time and read everything, this thread is a good measuring stick about current political timelines, opinions, and worries.

I just don't understand it why do you people actually care! I say we all watch anime and drop all Stupid political discussion anime is a perfect escape from the insane real world.

Mr Oni, and misty, I say we completley stop. Next time some one posts regarding politics we tell them to shut up and read the entire thread, considering the three of us went through all of this a LONG time ago. I don't know about you guys but it's getting quite tiresome watching people post, especialy if they bring up old posts and say things about them that's already been said.

I say let's top this. No convincing someone who lacks reading comprehension and who lives in their own deluded dreamworld.

There has been so much useless spam being posted by people *cough, cough, me, cough* It's a breath of fresh air to read through 10 pages of a serious debatable topic.

I may be MIA for a bit. Gotta do a little reading at this site.

[tacooe]

that summed up the conversation quite nicely. Like the man said, 'I hope that one day man and fish can live together in harmony' and my favourite, 'the problem with the french is that they don't ahve a word for entrepeneur'. What a great guy you've got there.

I knew the Mods would move this to Way off Topic sooner or later. They consider our current world affairs to be "Way off Topic" a forum specified for "silly random spam"
Hey thanx guys! Now I know where you stand on current events and have a pretty good idea of the key age demographic running this place.

OBTW, don't even try to say the Thread got off topic cause it NEVER DID.

[Wykith]

Now they moved it back!! They're messing with my head! *Goes into paranoid, self deluded rant*
