    Look, stuck or unstuck is really irrelevent. I have noticed that some members seem more concerned about the placement and number of threads on the screen than the ideas they contain. There might be some interesting psychological principle involved.

    I agree. I seldom read a "sticky." So no, it is not just you or “personal.”

    My bitch is that sticky threads take up space. Often I must go to page 2 etc. to get to the "good stuff" that has had time to "season."

    PS - I must say, that for a moderator, you show signs of intelligence, not reading sticky threads either, etc. More on this, in “Ban Billy T” thread, which is now where it belongs - down with all the other nonsense in the cesspool.

    Saddam the madman

    Clearly we are dealing with an evil man. He fed bread to birds. Disgusting.

    Doesn't that just show the cold lack of remorse for his crimes? And also the intent to further this 'grandfather' image so as to stir up an 'uproar' at his execution?

    Do you not believe that he is guilty of the crimes he has been convicted of?
    You're denying that he's a brutal killer? And responsible for the death of thousands upon thousands of people?

    Just because he fed some birds while imprisoned?

    The question is more: how can we know the extent of his crimes if he never got a proper trial.

    And Bush seems to have no trouble portraying his 'nice' image despite being a bigger criminal than Saddam.

    Saddam also killed "thousands and thousands" but "swung" for only 148 deaths* because at least half of these "thousands and thousands" had the US's help for him achieve, perhaps even US supplied the gas he used, but certainly US supplied the locations of Iranian troops from US satellite data.

    I have noticed that not much is said about were he got the gas for use during the eight year, US-backed, war against Iran. Saddam was the CIA's man back then. Rumsfield had private planning talks with Saddam several times and the photo of them shaking hands, after some agreement, is widely known. It is little wonder the US pupet government now in Iraq did not bring him to trial for any of his major crimes (use of gas warfare) as he might have told where he got the gas, who supplied the Iranian target loctions, etc.
    ---------------------------------
    *Most of whom had just tried to kill Saddam a few days earlier in a Kurdish revolt, or were at least active supporters of this coup attempt.

    PS do not get me wrong. I am glad Saddam is gone, but sorry the US had given so little serious thought as to what would be needed to give Iraq a better government - US has given Iraq a "death sentence" in that the civil war will split the country and the creation of Kurdistan will then trigger a second civil war in southern Turkey. - All of this I predicted in Emails to CNN and letters to NYTimes before the invasion had even been launched! Both expressed my strong doubts that there were any WMDs. Saddly, I have been correct thus far. About 6 months ago I gave more a detailed prediction as to start of the civil war in Turkey, posting it here. - within two years after the creation of Kurdistan.

    Are you saying/implying that no one can ever change? Saddam was, in fact, a friend of the US, but he changed. Why is that so difficult for you and others to comprehend?

    Not hard to comprehend that people can change, but I think Saddam did not. He was taking care of "Number 1" consistently. (while on the CIA's payrole and later when he saw better deals in selling oil for food & medicines via UN program with a big dollar fraction going into his pocket, etc.)

    You are too much of a realist to think Saddam was helping US out of friendship - perhaps you are not quite sober yet?

    Your opinion is based on what??

    Of course! And at one time that was consistent with what the US wanted and/or needed. But then he changed ....and no longer worked with the US on any-damned-thing!

    There is no such thing as "friendship" in international politics. Of course he was helping/working with the US at one time ....but then he changed. Why is that so difficult for you to grasp? Have you never had a friend change? Never heard of anyone's friends changing? Ever??

    to BM:

    If that is what you meant by "he changed" then we agree, but I would say "circumstances changed" and he continued unchanged. I.e. consistently looking out for number 1 (totally without any moral constraints all the time etc.) Right now he is trying to cut a deal with the Devil to return to Earth as an experienced agent of evil. IMHO he is unchangable and never has changed.

    Baron Max, you can never get a man of science to change, they believe themselves to be smarter than any other living being on the planet.

    Hey - facts are facts - what can you do? --Oh, wait, I have an idea:

    The poll is still open. - Go to the cesspool. (Not only an insult, I mean it literally also.)

    Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!


    There find Poll: "Ban Billy T - (for being arrogant and disrespectful)" and vote.

    Last time I looked it was only 8 of 26 for the ban - you can help the the "ban him cause" if you have not yet voted. ("Billy who? & I don't care" were in the lead)

    This is getting rather surreal.
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6224531.stm

    John presscot stated in the absence of Tony Blair.

    You can hang someone, but you can't film it illegally to show how much of a farce it was.

    Can someone please give this man a brain?!

    I'm sorry. I forgot you only watch the biased newschannels.

    for instance:
    and from wikipedia:

    Oh, so if there's a couple of people in the world who think the trial and the execution was wrong, then .....that makes it a "farce"?? Or a couple of personal opinions expressed in Wiki-whatever, then ...that makes the trial and execution a "farce"?? Hmm? Okay.

    You think it isn't a farce which makes it not a farce?

    I'm still trying to figure out why you or anyone would consider it a "farce"?
