Something strange happend this morning. I got an e-mail you have sent, but it didn't appear on the forum. You didn't post it finaly ?

Yes Alexa, I posted. It should be there. But Brian advised that the server was acting up lately, and he was in the process of changing servers this weekend.
As for the good PostMaster, he doesn't really know Americans well.

Re: American Idiot
Q, you wanna bet with me he doesn't know Americans at all ? Maybe only from the press or TV, but you know it's not enough.
He makes me think at another guy, adept of Hellenism, I have met last summer. Well, he is a greek, but he lives in Montreal. Hmm. Too close to my house. I hope they don't know each other. The other one took Nietzsche as a sample and tried to convince everybody the entire Christianity worth anything compared to Hellenism movement.

Hey Alexa,
You know, sometimes even Americans become weary of being told they are garbage...
Makes one think of quitting and going home where it is safe. But instead, we keep plugging on in our barbaric/sage sort of way.
Maybe we are idiot/savants?
A bientot,
Q

In other words, the greeks should rule over the world ?

Hell no! Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt and it never worked. The Greek's are the original Westerners! There will always be politicians that do evil work. And there will always be people who appose the evil work they do. We should be the ones that appose them. And pass on that light to our children.
Democracy needs to be put straight again as it used to be, power needs to be in the hands of the people. Limitation of the time allowed in power is a good filter. People should be aware of financial relations and blood relations in the government as this is what leads to coruption. People should be free to do what they want under majort vote. If you don't fit in the majority then tuff because life isn't perfect  Liberty is something that is unreal and an impossible dream. But freedom is natural.

Re: American Idiot

Re: American Idiot
Green Day is a group from California, USA. They show autocritic, ok. But still, it's a song. It's made to make people react.
PM, even though some of the lyrics sound real (i.e. fear propaganda), we can't apply idiocy to a whole country and hope to start an objective thread...
Quahom, my opinion on your french skills has gone up drastically

I will endeavor to show that we "soldiers" are not far off the mark, and I will not tease to harm (especially not a lady).
Idiot sends...

I would rather say that politics and politicians all over the world are a plague. They promise everything in order to get elected and the moment they have the power, they forget instantly all the promised they have made not long ago.
|
there is no doubt about it. big fat lips and wallets. i dont fall for what the big leaders and businessmen anywhere say. ah, but i do have a very responsible alderman and some city officials and i feel the honest guys and girls in politics will be found down in the chain of command rather than at the top.

Q, Kaldayen made you a compliment about your French skills. Anyway, I think that was his intention.
I know you don't want to harm. That's why I told you can tease me.

Re: American Idiot
Quahom, no need to apologize, really.
Trying to recycle the topic, here's a link from the whitehouse :
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget...5/defense.html
Here's an excerpt :
Quote:
|
Provides $401.7 billion for the Department's base budget, an annual increase of seven percent, for a total increase in defense spending of 35 percent since 2001;
|
Considering they write it on their website, that seems to be something the USA government is proud of. My question : Is it ok in 2005 to be proud to increase military expenses to never-before-seen summits?
