'ridiculous but totallly fuckin possible'

Post by Fash »

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u ... _iran_dc_3
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - President Bush (news - web sites) said on Tuesday the idea that he was preparing to bomb Iran was "ridiculous" but he failed to satisfy European calls to offer Tehran incentives to curtail its nuclear program.

"This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous," Bush told a news conference after talks with European Union (news - web sites) leaders.

"Having said that, all options are on the table," he added, drawing laughter at a clear reference to military action.

Pathetic... Bush was a good man who really wasn't much of a politician in 2000, a man trying to understand things greater than himself which is why I voted for him and was proud of that vote. Now he is just a egotistical political tard who thinks he has the only hotline to God and is running this great nation into the ground... very sad to see someone fall so far so quickly... or maybe back in 2000, I - like too many Americans this last election, had the wool pulled over my eyes and he was always a egotistical tard all along... :(

So...does this mean that Bush is admitting that he is willing to entertain any option, no matter how ridiculous?

"You know what, you're right, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, only a dumbass would do that.....that being said, we'd like to keep that as an option...you know, keep them on their toes and all that."

I say this out of humor, not out of my desire to make a political statement. (Even though my humor sucks, my political statements suck even more.)

Funny...I don't read that as a "clear" reference to military action. That's just the opinion of someone that expects it. I think that it says that if military action was needed, it has not been taken off of the table. It also says that other actions still ARE on the table.

Don't be so sure. The reason most liberals are liberals is because of their inability to see through the eyes of reason, logic, and common sense.

This is the single most stupid statement you have ever made on these boards, which is quite an achievement in and of itself. You do realize that Bush got re elected on the Crispy vote, the very antipathy, the Antichrist if you will, of reason, logic, and common sense? People who decided that two gay guys playing plow the hershy highway in the privacy of their own home was a larger threat to our nation than the crippling national debt and unparalleled partisanship caused by a war that was entered into under completely false (wether deliberately or incompetantly is a whole other debate) pretenses? You voted for King George the II who, by his own personal admission, believes he was put in office by the direct intervention of God Himself, and you are going to claim liberals lack reason, logic, and common sense? What fucking Bizzaro world do you live in? Oh wait, your the "fuck muslims" racist homophobic MBA pizza delivery guy. I guess fantasy land is a much better place to dwell in.
War is an option whose time has passed. Peace is the only option for the future. At present we occupy a treacherous no-man's-land between peace and war, a time of growing fear that our military might has expanded beyond our capacity to control it and our political differences widened beyond our ability to bridge them. . . .

Short of changing human nature, therefore, the only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war.
--RICHARD M. NIXON, "REAL PEACE" (1983)

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."

I said that if I learned how to tell exactly WHAT a group of people in a room half a world away was laughing for, I would be able to solve most of the world's issues. But then I decided that this kind of skill is worthless since I could just say that nobody actually means what they say:

No we're not planning our bombing runs = we are already preparing to bomb as soon as the pilots get off of the shitter.

REASON? LOGIC? HAHAHAHAH!

That is the funniest shit I have ever read Midnyte! Liberals are liberals because they can't follow logic? Do you know ANY, ANY logic professors that are conservatives? Hell for that matter do you know any Philosophy professors, Biology professors... hell anyone with any advanced degree that is a Conservative and not some ultra religious freak?... I know a LOT of people and I can't think of any.

This arguement has been had before and I know there is a link in some thread on this board that showed people voting for Kerry, which lets assume are liberals, were more intelligent, better informed and made more money... except for the "almost millionaires" who all voted for Bush because they are a bunch of greedy bastards.

You can make blanket statement but there saying liberals aren't the ones who understand logic and reason is plain stupid and the exact opposite of the truth. If conservative could understand logic and reason they would be liberals and we would have all this crap...

Just an observation ,

Bush=an UNpopular Hitler

He cant sway everyone like Hitler did , and sure as heck doesnt have the balls to do such drastic and horrid things.

His thinking (or lack there of) is along the same line:
" If you dont agree with me I will just get rid of you"

I know you think you are witty, but you aren't. Doesn't compare. You can teach a language to someone, you cannot teach someone how to be logical, have reason, and think in common sense terms. Some people are just incapable of such a thing.

Any school that has a philosophy department or a computer science department has at the very least multiple incarnations of logic courses.

Symbolic logic is not something that is some abstraction of the effite (hip 2004 anti-liberal word). It is a very real field of study that has existed for quite a long time.

algebra is also a form of logic course. Also, as said earlier, logic classes are a course for some type of programming course.

I do however think that you are born with it. Either you have it, or you don't, and if you don't, you need to work hard at it. But thats just my opinion.

i would actually say that logical thought is something that has a genetic component, but it is also likely to be largely honed and perfected through experience. Whether that experience is formal education or similar disciplined engagement of ideas.

For instance, you probably met plenty of people in school who said "why am i ever going to need this class?". Well beyond a 16 year old being so utterly ignorant of what an adult needs to function - the question is absurd in general. One of the main reasons to educate oneself is to discipline thought. Very analagous to physical conditioning for atheletes.
