I wonder how many of them we (Americans) killed? Was it actually near the hundred thousand, we've been told? I know we annialated an entire interstate of stolen cars filled with iraqi troops( bad I Yeah, we probably killed more of our own troops than Iraq's fearsome army did. I wonder how many of them we (Americans) killed? Was it actually near the hundred thousand, we've been told? I know we annialated an entire interstate of stolen cars filled with iraqi troops( bad Idea, if you were an Iraqi fleeing kuwait.) in the end, since We end up being the watchdog for everyone (You see it's either, You beg us for help, or you hate us for not helping...either way, most of us don't really care anymore as far as which country thinks we're evil. We've watched enough bbc to grow callous to whether or not terrorist hate us for being american. that's why the government is trigger happy, ala the nigerian plant that was destroyed a while back. We're also paranoid when it comes to arab terrorist( which SUCKS if you are an Arab-American trying just to survive here), but, then again who cares, most Americans Fear EAch Other, not some Foreign power...how the hell is going to Invade this place, short from nukes We are safer from invasion. In the US, people blow each other away for whatever reason, such as, I get picked on, so I'm going to go kill the a few people. After the news is over Entertainment Tonight comes on...DAMN, look at what SHe's Wearing!!!...so much for making an impression. We have more problems with God-fearing gun toting psychopaths here than anyone else. Ask most people who Bin-Laden is they don't know. Ask them what Jennifer Lopez was wearing 90% can tell you. We have more problems with people here wanting to blow it up or shoot up the place. Give all Americans Guns. What the hell. The Big Ol Gun argument should have a middle ground...Either take them ALL away , or give everyone a Gun. It doesn't matter to me. If I have a gun and some asshole walks into MAcdonalds and starts shooting, I'm shooting back. BUT, if we don't have guns, he has to walk in with a Slingshot, which means we will just kick his ass. Plus, will future releases of FreeBSD be shipped WITH Guns or Without?? Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
