View Full Version : [Thread Closed] Criticizing a hero!

I sometimes hate the democrats and this is where they go to far... but they should be shut up about this... I am going to buy that photo and put it up in my room to show a true American hero, George W. Bush - If it isn't too expensive and if it gets offered online in a political store instead of only to donors.

The democrats are simply being childish in this. They are trying to defame a president at any costs. If they are going to get so mad at that picture, they ought to start getting angry about movies that portray the sinking of the Titanic, the holocaust, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, etc. etc.. Movies, documentaries, and multiple other presentations have been done about those, yet no objections. Simply because September 11 happened recently doesn't make the lives and the event any more or less important than the lives that were lost in those other evens, one of which(holocaust) was much more tragic and vicious than the plane bombings were.
This isn't suprising as most politicians are hypocrites and power mongerers who sway to the side that supports their views and agenda.
Giancarlo

Sure Bush is probably a power monger himself, but I would like to have a picture of his portrait while in airforce one in my room. I am proud to show that I am his supporter. I will even vote for him in 2004 because I will reach the age. The same I would do with Franklin Roosevelt, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. All heroes. Though I didn't agree with Roosevelt's economic plan in the beginning, his handling of the war is something to be proud of.

Define "commie." You may not use the words "commie," "communist," "red," "democrat," or "republican" in the definition; also do not refer wars as your method of defining communism.
(I'm serious. I want to know what you think it means. But really, I know you know that democrats are not communists.)
By the way, being president at the time when there's a national crisis doesn't make him a hero. Any other president would have dealt with it as well as or better than W. Besides, I've known heroes all my life; they are everywhere. They don't have to be internationally famous. Maybe Bush is your hero, but not so for everyone.
^^the byrdie senses some flaming coming on because she does not always conform to other's views. <<more flaming for the mention of conformity.
Giancarlo
May 15th, 2002, 17:53
No problem birdie. You are sensing not quite the correct answer out of me... well at least it won't be me flaming you. Ronald Reagan once said heroes are everywhere, those who work, and those who help others.

I just wonder when US people will understand that USA can go on even without a president! :D I'm European and I see the things in a different way, but I have the impression that it's the whole machine (USA) that counts , not the president. For me Klinton , Bush etc are just the Barbies. The machine commands ! Not the president! :D
Giancarlo
May 15th, 2002, 19:41
I am also European, but I don't see things the way you do. The President is the one who signs bills and makes a very large impact on the world stage and how the world views the US. So he certainly makes all the difference.

sounds like something from Grapes of Wrath - people built something that has grown beyond their control. Humans built it but they can't control it. I agree.
I agree sort of with Giancarlo on the last comment too - the President represents the nation, whether he values the same things as the people or not. In my case, he certainly does not. but anyways...I agree with both of you on those comments.
Giancarlo
May 15th, 2002, 19:52
Humans also need a sense of authority because believe me they can't live without it. Anarchy is not a workable system because of this quality.
Bush mainly represents my views (pro death penalty, anti abortion, pro free market, etc).
Robert
May 15th, 2002, 20:36
No disrespect, but we don't need an outsider telling us that the U.S. can be ran without a president.
What makes the U.S. such an amazing country is, even if the Capital (Washington DC) is blown to pieces, each state has it's own "government" and can operate as a country on it's own. Unlike most countries where the capital runs the entire country.
The president is just a representative for the United States.

Geez GC. While the tone of the post of hers may be offensive, you take offense at the little things like calling you a south american or american(which I am sure was not meant in offense). Are you saying it is bad to be an american? You know you are indirectly insulting me, at least I should start claiming you are. :rolleyes:

She is not the only person who misinterprets things at this message board(no offense intended). For instance, you misinterpreted my sarcasm in my last post(but that isn't the main things you do that with). I know you weren't meaning it as offensive but I am just showing you how you sometimes potray something as offensive when it really isn't.
As for being proud of your country, that is a great thing. I am proud to be an American and nothing anyone can say or do can take that pride away from me. However, if someone calls me British or Scotish(because that is my blood) I won't take offense at it. However, I do know you and syd aren't best friends so maybe I would get a little angry but just remember the hate is one way.

You are correct... we hate each other.
I just want this thread closed, it was another mistake even opening it.
Owen
May 15th, 2002, 22:12
"No. She is the only one. "
Well. That is your opinion, but I am sure the rest of the board feels the same as I do(remember the Why thread with Meow where you thought he was calling Spanish ignorant?)
"You are correct... we hate each other.
I just want this thread closed, it was another mistake even opening it."
No. Opening the thread wasn't a mistake, because it is important to be discussed(at least for people connected with America, despite what some of them may think).
This thread like many others gets out of hand because you, syd, and multiple others(I can be included in this generalization) can not grow up and get over petty insults from people who we don't know other than by a name on a message board. Not suggesting we love each other, but some of the behavior on this message board is that of real youngins. Thats why I really have been staying absent from this message board after starting to participate more, becuase of the childishness here(from most everyone... there are a few exceptions like the mods of course, Dusty, and others).
If you are not American, then stop referring to America as "Here", "Our government", etc...
Funny how the ONLY person who thinks I am pathetic, that I'm a "disgrace", that I should be banned etc... is the same person that almost everyone here hates.
You remind me of Nero (who we are studying in Ancient History). He said that "What a great artist the world has lost in me" (or something to that effect) when he committed suicide after the entire Roman Republic turned on him.
---> "It's always someone else - I'm never wrong!?!?"
By the way Owen, my first question to GC about nationality was actually a credible one. I seriously didn't understand why he claims to be from so many places. Very feasible I think. I never once said "You're a retard!" or anything to that effect. He's the one who went beserk:confused:
And I don't hate anyone... :rolleyes:
Owen
May 15th, 2002, 22:28
Originally posted by syd

Well. Then you strongly dislike him. IF you don't start acting like it, because you, me, and multiple others do call him out more than others(he can be a jerk, but we are right back at him). Considering your past remarks, which are usually instigated by GC, not always, you don't ever try to be neutral towards him.
And unlike you and many others, I don't hate, or really even truly dislike GC. I respect him to an extent because he is very knowledgable, but I don't approve of many of his choices, and his main problem is his "I am great" and grouchy attitude, which is what drives most of you to dislike him.
Now I am sure the rest of this thread, or this argument taken onto another thread will go like this. GC will say something about how we are wrong, someone will come in and say I am and you need to grow up, GC will come back angrier, and so will the other person, and it continues and continues until one decides to backdown or the usual result of locking the thread. Its kind of funny how most threads follow the same pattern.
I never am neutral because I really have nothing to be neutral about when it comes to him. I dislike him, of course, no sense in trying to hide that, but that's a given. I don't respect him at all because I do not respect any megalomaniacs. He is the male equivalent of my former best friend (The Queen of Ego), who I truly dislike to the harshest degree. Every remark out of his mouth (or computer, whichever) is exactly like hers. It's irritating! LOL!

Yes. And every remark you say to him tries to inflame him to be that egomaniac. So if you dislike it so much, why don't you stop inciting it some(despite what you say, you do do it some)?
And if you truly dislike him to the largest degree, there will be many people you will begin to hate, because as bad as he may seem, there are tons of worse people out there, and you and me both know that.
Hey, guess what. I haven't had any arguements with him in a long time. All I asked was about his nationality because he talks as if the USA is HIS country, but says it isn't. Is it so WRONG to ask? I didn't insult, I didn't flame, I even joked a little. That was my first post in about a week or two. And now *I* incite him? I have in the past, but not lately. And certainly not in this thread! I'm not going to walk like I'm on hot coals when asking something.
How come I can ask *anyone* here a normal question and get humourous responses, but with him he has to have a little freakout? That's his ego problem, not mine. I don't care if he gets upset or not.

"So... exactly what *are* you? I mean, first you're Spanish, now you're American, then you're a South American, now you're European again!! If I went by your standards, I'd have a zillion citizenship cards!"
That last sentence is what set it off, and you know good and well GC takes those kind of things to heart. Either you forgot it, or you did it knowingly. I am not getting on you so much(because you didn't do soemthing that wrong), but you did something which you knew would aggravate him.
That wasn't intentional... it really shouldn't set anyone off, cause if it did, that's rather sad. It's just a joke and it's not insulting. Perhaps cause it's true. If I DID go by his standards, I'd be Canadian, French Canadian, Russian, Hungarian, Austrian, German and Icelandic. I'm not kidding about that!

Yeh. It is kind of sad he takes offense at that, but you don't like him and his ego, yet you continue to post things that will make him show it(knowingly or not). So you can either keep posting those things and expect the same result, or not and don't expect ot see his ego as much. Its just you don't keep doing soemthing that produces an undesirable result.

That's very true. Maybe it's best not to even bother? :confused2
Well this time was not intentional, and I don't intend to sit and stare at my post everytime and think "Well... will this offend him or not?". If he gets offended that's not my problem and I'm not gonna hold back what I say just cause he throws a tantrum. I always joke around with people, that's just my personality (in "real life", I'm the class clown type person) so if he can show his, than I can show mine :D

Actually, if Washington got nuked, there is a backup operations center for the feds. If that got nuked...well, then each state becomes it's own country during that time. Each state has it's own bases and government. I dont know if any other states can do this, but the people of Texas can vote to seperate from the U.S. They could also divide Texas into up to 5 smaller states.
Now let's say every state capital got nuked, then the county governments take the lead. You'd have to nuke the entire U.S. because almost every household has at least one gun with plenty of ammo. On average at least one house on every block has a large gun collection, and ammo. Then you have all the stores and shops that sell the same. It's a unique system, and is the reason why the U.S. could never be successfully invaded.

Very well said.
The heroes of 9/11 are the firemen who dug for survivors, the families of those who were killed and now carry their own life sentence, and those who were in those planes, whether they lived or not. They are the ones who face personal tragedy and horror - stare it right in the face - experience their world crumbling. It doesn't matter how rich they were, what kind of clothes they were wearing, if they were famous or not, whether they were a huge company's manager or a kid working in a burger store. Being a hero isn't just doing your duty, it's putting everything you've got on the line for the sake of somebody else. It's daring to go on when the odds are stacked against you, facing fear, doing something that could change somebody's life, being selfless. Digging through rubble for people you don't know, people you've never seen or met or heard of, that's what heros do.
Bush just did what he had to. I'm not saying he did a bad job, or that he is a bad person, or even a bad president, but the true heroes are the firemen and the families and the victims of September 11.

I was going to say the exact same thing. Thank you webdude for saving me time. The United States has the best system when it comes to government and each invidual state.
You may be from Russia, but you don't know more about our government than we do.

Well, I think everyone in my school, which has people from all over the world (including America) and consists mostly of American teachers, thinks George W. Bush is an absolute idiot. I even made fun of him on all the questions of our vocabulary test (it was easy as heck). Sentences such as:
Though many consider Stalin and Hitler to be procrustean dictators, it is George W. Bush's ridiculous efforts in getting the entire world to support the "war on terrorism" that should be considered as such.
The crowd immediately subsided when President Bush emerged to make his speech.
Bush was mesmerized by Fidel Castro's speeches about Cuba.

I will be respectful to everyone even when he reaches this proper judgement. I have no more sordid ends to serve with anybody here including syd. So I am asking that everybody refrain quietly from posting in this thread.
Cordially,
Giancarlo.

Giancarlo, the thread starter isn't able to lock a thread at will because once posted it becomes public information and others are free to comment on it and/or disagree with you.
I think there were a few personal attacks and comments typed in a manner just to inflame the situation as well.
With that said the topic will remain open for now but there should be no further off topic postings or it will be locked.

I think in 2004, it will be George W. Bush taking stand at the inauguration. History repeats itself. With Reagan, Nixon and Eisenhower. They all won the first rounds by a small bit, but then they take a landslide victory in their second term run. I think Bush will take a landslide victory against a weak democratic party.

But they all proved themselves to be very capable leaders after their first-term. So far, George W. Bush has proved nothing to the world but the fact that he is a retard who acts like everything is a joke. I just hate to hear him make speeches; it annoys me so much to see how he acts like every situation is almost funny and humorous (not to mention he has a very lame sense of humor). Just ask any of my classmates; I doubt you'd find a single one who thinks George W. Bush is anywhere above pathetic. I even heard that they tested his vocabulary, and it was below average for a college student.
Anyway, George W. Bush was technically not elected by the American people. The American people elected Al Gore. But it was all because of that unnecessary electoral system (is it really useful anymore?) that Bush was able to become president. I would vote for Ross Perot before Bush.

The democraps say the same thing about Nixon when he was first elected or some other Republican president.
The American people elected Al Gore.
The American people did not elect Al Gore who rigged election results in several states, and by goodness I am so damn happy Al Gore is not in power. He would of been impeached for not taking any actions on Afghanistan and when he folds to pressure he launches a couple of missiles at empty tents like Clinton. He also throws the economy into a deep damn recession with his tax and spend policies that don't work anymore.
But it was all because of that unnecessary electoral system (is it really useful anymore?) that Bush was able to become president.
And that system truely represents the American people, not some democratic rigged popular vote.

People. There are multiple heros in this situation. Not just one. A hero is a person who does something to help save someone(directly or indirectly). In 9/11 the firemen and policemen were the great heros. However, Bush in his own right was a hero. While he may not have digged anyone out of the ruddle at Ground Zero, he did start a campaign to end terrorism.
Whether someone else could have done it, doesn't matter, because a hero is not made by what they could have done, but by what they did. Just because someone else could do it doesn't take away from the fact that he did what he did(its kind of hard for me to explain).
As for conker. Could you please tell me what makes Bush such an idiot instead of assuming his speeches determine his IQ. I am horrible at making speeches, but if you were to assume I was an idiot by that, you would be mistaken. I am not genius by any means, but I am fairly smart. I just can not speak in public.
BTW, you also mention your classmates? IIRC don't you live in China or another country in Asia? It would be harder to like someone that doesn't serve your best interests. Despite what you think of him, many people like him here in the US.
Giancarlo

Sometimes my words don't flow right in speeches and I can't say things, but with practice I been getting better. The same goes for Bush. His speaking abilities were superb when he made that address to Congress and they still are. He speaks with simple dialogue.

Your take on this issue will depend on where you stand on the political spectrum. I don't have anything strongly against this move but I can easily state its just a way to get easy money.
Some, like Giancarlo, see Regean as a hero, I myself, put Regean on equal footing Clinton. Consider:
1. Economy Boomed under both men
2. Both men had scandals under them(Iran-Contra was officially not known by Regean and since he had alzheimers he might have actually forgotten it). Clinton's sex scandal wasn't that big of a deal to me, he did a fine job of running the country and his personal life isn't of interest to me.
Besides that you didn't mention regeans economy boom was mainly due to his defeciet spending plan which created a huge debt.
Regardless, I consider them both great presidents, much better than Bush Sr. or W.
Giancarlo
May 17th, 2002, 18:16
Archbob the economy declined in the end of 1999 when the so called "tech bubble" bursted and the economy fell into contraction. That was because of Clinton's hefty tax policies and amongst other factors.
Under George W. Bush the GDP grew about +5.8% in the first Quarter of 2002.
But one democrat I did give credit to is Kennedy, he actually lowered taxes. But the rest of his handlings were a disaster.
Archbob

If you have something intelligent to say then say it because you insulting a great president is just plain stupid.
I notice that every time someone says an argument that you can't defend against, you literally echo this same idea over and over again. It is trite; it is meaningless; and worst of all, it is not supported with any details.
I would say the same about Carter, and Al Gore. The way both misuse words and inflate themselves. Carter is very vague in speaking as we can tell... and thinks he is a hero.
And did I say they were good? The American public are notorious for voting in bad leaders, namely Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush (and his father as well). When I get to vote, hopefully it won't be like that.
The democraps say the same thing about Nixon when he was first elected or some other Republican president.
No, what I mean is that this electoral system doesn't work properly. It was supposed to be an assembly of "upper-class people" chosen by the state legislatures to vote for the presidents. Unfortunately, this system is stupid and pointless. It gives California total control over the outcome of the United States elections.
The American people did not elect Al Gore who rigged election results in several states, and by goodness I am so damn happy Al Gore is not in power.

I want written proof that Al Gore rigged election results in several states, like you claim. I can also say that George W. Bush rigged results in Texas. Is that true? Perhaps or perhaps not. But until you provide proof, my argument is every bit as valid as yours.

Actually no. If the US ditches the electoral system that will give the democratic states an unfair advantage. Then the political partisanship could get even worse.

Well, actually, not really started one as there has been war destroying Afghanistan for many years, but he didn't do anything planet-changing. He just did his job, what he had to do. The interesting thing about this is, it isn't Bush who's going out to war. It isn't his children or his husband or his brothers who are going to go and fight. It isn't brave, or heroic, to make a decision which will risk many people's lives. I admit, he did have to take some form of action, but there was nothing heroic about it.

Bullcrap. There was no way the Bush adminstration could of saw it coming. Before hand, before he got his Defense Bill passed the intelligence agencies were having funding problems. And the person to blame is Clinton for that. Bush is not to blame as 70% of the people agree with me, that the democrats going after Bush now is all political garbage. That 70% is taken from an online poll off CNN.
It looks as if some stupid democrats won't win reelection in the Senate. :biggrin2:

GC. It isn't that they are tearing up your beliefs, but they are stating their own opinion on this matter. They aren't taking the opposite because you hold a certain opinion.
If just stating your beleifs is tearing up someone else's opinion, then you are doing the same to them. However, no one is really bashing someone else's belief till the flames start flying.
Participating in political threads is not bad, but when you start insulting other people because of their opinion is when you need to start backing off.
As for my opinion. I believe it could have been possible for Bush to have done something to prevent what happened. HOWEVER, I also beleive Clinton could have done something himself to prevent this, since he was the first person to get the reports. This "scandal" however, is a classic example of second guessing. Hindsight is 20/20 as I always say.
If there must be blame placed, it should be in the CIA and FBI for not uncovering this plot(however, the CIA has had budget cuts so it really isn't their fault) and the FAA for not having better security at the airports. However, that falls back on Washington to make plans to increase security. If there really was a report about possible plane bombings in the future, there could have been some action taken to increase security, before such an event could have occured.
However, I don't really beleive that there is anyone truly to blame in this tragedy, except for Osama and Al-Qaeda.
Giancarlo
May 19th, 2002, 16:27
I will tell you who is to blame: Clinton for cutting the budget for the FBI, NSA and CIA. And it wasn't until after the attacks that the Senate finally got Bush's national security and defense package passed.
And how could US Security Agencies investigate rumors that came up a month before the attacks when they were having thousands and utterly thousands of threats each day? People who complain don't really a frigging clue how many threats face the US.
For example, recently ten pounds (I think it was 10) of Sodium cyanide was found near a border checkpoint with Mexico. They know that there was supposed to be more there. Sodium Cyanide is the same stuff that makes C-4 Explosives but only a little is used. Now I want to ask you democrats this: How the hell is the US supposed to investigate every little thing? At the point when the very unsubstantiated rumors arised about terrorist hijacking planes there wasn't enough time to investigate.
By the way, I am happy now... this little plan has backfired on the democrats. The polls say so, and all of the republicans including some democrats are not joining this fiasco.
Edit: I won't be abled to get back with a response if anybody tries to respond to my message soon... maybe tomorrow, maybe later tonight... but don't count on it... I have a lot of work.

Nobody is to blame except those who dreamt this horrific scheme up, and those who went through with it - the pilots used by Bin Laden, and so on. And of course Bin Laden himself.

That is why your argument is completely illogical. Also remember that one Algerian Guy that was arrested for attempting to launch some kind of terror operation in Los Angeles during New Years? You certainly don't look at the facts: The US can't look at every single threat, especially only three months before it could happen.

We don't get suicide bombers....and USA get a lot more threats because of the population, we get few, the government is smaller, but they ACT!
You are not the center of attention so you get fewer threats, the US government has to work more on them because it actually has ships overseas that can be blown up along with thousands and thousands of other interests. I don't mean by little cargo vessels and patrol Frigates, but Destroyers and Aircraft Carriers it has to worry about. Not to mention military bases all over the world.
The US government on proportion acts more than any government in the world and there is no discussion about that.

Believe me I know....

The US has 12 or was it 14 aircraft carriers..... you have zero. The other amounts of ships is just massive.... massive surface and submarine fleets.
You got 6 Perry Frigates, 4 or 5 Anzac Patrol Frigates (Useless for overseas operations), and about 6 Submarines.

Where did i tell you to leave :confused2
I'm not the one constantly rowing with each and every member who dares to say something which you do not agree with
and i have to comment
That your describing yourself
Your posts clash different views with each other
So its ok for you to advise me to leave .. but its not ok for me to say take your own advise
Interesting
If it wasn't my bedtime I would give some things to mull over while you are at school.......
Why do you think I am offensive BTW? :confused:

Firstly, by saying that the US government doesn't care as much as the Australian government. The fact is they do.

I don't mean to point out the obvious ...
i'm not speaking .. i am typing / printing my view on this forum in the forum of text
The text i am printing is english and is 100% fully undersandable by those of us who read english as the major subject
I got a A+ in my GCSE tests for English ... are you trying to tell me that my english is not good ??
IF so you a madly mistaken ...
That was a major insult to myself ... and if i was to act like yourself i would flame to you hell .... or worse ... however whereby you are not someone who seems to think before they type about what will happen after you post ...
i DO .. i am not going to flame you but to point out some bare facts
1. YOU are not the cleverest on this board
2. YOU are so close to getting banned
3. YOU are so up yourself ( to put it simply )
4. YOU think you are the best at everything and that everyone else is your lesser
Reality check here !!

Hey cdudeuk,
Don't bother telling him all that stuff; he's just going to ignore him. We've told him that a million times and he still hasn't learned. Sad, isn't it? :rolleyes:

Then at least make your posts coherent.

I can't understand it because it isn't coherent.

The fact is your english isn't good, but that is not what is at hand here.

Please be coherent. I can't understand many of your posts.
1. YOU are not the cleverest on this board
Then who is?
2. YOU are so close to getting banned
Am I screaming? Am I saying obscene words? NO!
You need to get a reality check. But I don't have time to respond to any more of this.... :mad:
