banshee370 Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Do you honestly think we are at war for Oil??? Ya know what.. Turn off the heat, turn off the lights, give up your phones, sell your cars and live in a hut. Look around you, do you realize how much "OIL" is used for day to day events? Without "OIL" you wont have any power/utilities, No phones, No cars... Since no vehicles will be able to run without it... you may as well give up food........ what supplies the stores you buy from? (trucks) The toilet paper you wipe your backside with needs oil/fuel to be produced and delivered... How will you cook your meals? This country is in trouble......... big trouble. Since the choices we have for president are BOTH puppets... ever wonder what controls a puppet? Every last one of the people in congress are liars. not one of them are trustworthy....... So out of that you would rather have Kerry in charge? He is a hippie tree hugger that thinks "Peace" will make the terrorists go away. Yup... they will be back next week for our lunch money..... you can guarantee that. One last thing......... If Kerry gets elected...... you may as well sell your banshees now because he is trying to close down all state parks and legal riding land.......

Holyman Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I think we can all agree that nothing motivates people like panic. My view is that politicians, who as I have said many times already, are all being manipulated by big business and are experts at controlled panic of the masses. I feel that most of the current world conflict is the result of that created panic. Right now there is no need to create panic about oil. The regime in place can produce panic that this countries democracy is in jepardy and so a war needs to be fought in some desert across the globe. Co-incidentally, the oil can continue to flow and the current president who is heavily invested in oil can keep a healthy portfolio. And this panic has created jobs. Contractors like Haliburton are hiring. So panic does create jobs, thousands of them. In my last job I worked for an company that had heavy use of computers and literally milions and millions of dollars were spent and hundreds of jobs created to assure the world wasn't going to end on Jan 1st. Historically major breakthroughs have occurred during times of national panic. Plastic was not considered tremendously usable because Bakelite was difficult to use and pretty much was all that was around during the first world war but because of the panic of really losing a war, copious amounts of money were spent on plastic development which has resulted in an entire industry today. During the gas crunch of the early 80's cars were quickly turned out with deisel engines and we all know that deisels can run on old fry oil if they have to. As far as I'm concerned the oil dependant nations have created the problems in the middle east. They have taken the angriest kid in the world, fed him, made him wealthy beyond belief, tought him to fight, armed him and then wonder why he's still angry. I say get out from under the demand for oil and let the middle east go back to being the poor, empty, desert it was before they found the oil. We can run synthetic oil, Alcohol, and eco deisel. What's wrong with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGL Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Haliburton is hiring to rebuild Iraq , not because of a panic. Who are you refering to as the "regime"? "WE created all the problems in the middleast ?"... name the american author who wrote the Kuran? Or the american who gassed the Kurds? How about the american who's cutting off peoples f*kn heads?... Take a trip to Saudi Arabia , after you leave the palaces of the truely "oil rich" royal families , you WILL see poor, empty desert ... Show some damn respect for your country , its the U.S. govt , not a regime Go ahead start stockpiling your fryer oil , you'll be the only one driving around in your plastic bodied 83 deisel rabbit .

Holyman Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Haliburton is hiring to rebuild Iraq , not because of a panic. I say bring Haliburton back home and spend those billions of dollars rebuilding Florida, Alabama, Loisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Texas and where ever the next one hits. I doubt there will be any fatalities from that. Who are you refering to as the "regime"? regime R'egime \R['e]`gime"\ (r?`zh?m"), n. [F. See Regimen.] 1. Mode or system of rule or management; character of government, or of the prevailing social system. Is that simple enough for you? Like I said... The regime in place can produce panic that this countries democracy is in jepardy and so a war needs to be fought in some desert across the globe. name the american author who wrote the Kuran This is based on the panic that you have been lead to believe. There is no docrtine in any of the major religions of the world INCLUDING MUSLIM DOCTRINE that supports the bloodshed that is now being conducted in the name of OR blamed on the teachings of the Kuran. A glaring example of this is the idea that the United States is a "Christian" nation. There is nothing about the current conflict that is supported by the teachings or lifestyle of Jesus Christ which SHOULD BE the basis for calling something Christian. Basically people can say what they want and call themselves what they want but when the rubber meets the road you find out what they really are. Muslim extremists can quote from the Kuran and perform some hideous act but that does not mean they are adhering to the teachings of the Kuran. I could read from a Spiderman comic and commit some hideous act, who is at fault the comic or the psyco quoting from it? Brooke can sleep with women and say she's straight, but she's not. She can even say she is "quasi-bisexual" which is like saying "kind of pregnant". There is no such thing. Take a trip to Saudi Arabia , after you leave the palaces of the truely "oil rich" royal families , you WILL see poor, empty desert ... Works the same way in Texas outside of lil geo's ranch. And who is bank rolling the royal families? Russia's got their own oil, pretty much the rest of the world can buy from them or other "democratic" governments, who's left? The rest of the oil rich middle east and a few drug producing nations that are so poor they can't even afford to keep their own economy going let alone keep the AC running in some royal palace in the middle east. Go ahead start stockpiling your fryer oil , you'll be the only one driving around in your plastic bodied 83 deisel rabbit . That'll be great... less traffic. I'll make sure I toot the horn as I drive past you stalled on the shoulder. How many of your neighbors are you going to send to fight for oil just so you can keep your gas tank filled? You seem to have no value for life. You are willing to sacrifice my life so you can keep your things and I'm willing to sacrifice all of my things so you can stay alive. Which one makes more sense?

Cotton eyed Joe Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 LMAO Stan, where did you find that? Did you photoshop it? Yep! I'm sitting here waiting for the local furnace service peep to show up and clean the furnace out so I figured I'd bone up on my PS7 chops. I'd do it myself, but I have a crawl space and I only go down there if I absolutely have to. I hate it down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGL Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Holyman , put down the dictionary and go back and re-read my post . I never said THIS was a war for oil , just stating the obvious importance of oil to this country. And Im willing to go myself with my neighbor if needed to fight the people that still want to kill all americans. Its because I VALUE life (even yours) that I believe we are engaged in a just war , not for oil , not for land , not for money, for our security. Say we all buy your plastic rabbits , no better yet ... we all just start walking everywhere, Do you honestly think the terrorists will just go away? And no matter what definition you post for it , calling our govt. a regime just shows who you really are . Thanks for making my job easier.

PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 (edited) The regime in place can produce panic that this countries democracy is in jepardy and so a war needs to be fought in some desert across the globe. It's of my opinion that when planes with our citizens on them get flown into buildings with our citizens in them that we are in jeopardy. I for one haven't heard of a better reason to go to war than that, not in my lifetime anyway. This Halliburton crap is ridiculous. They typically are the sole bid because they are the only company capable of doing the work they do on the scale that is needed. Until there is a legitimate company to compete with them there is no point in complaining because they get the government contracts. I understand it would be hard for another company to come close to competing with Halliburton, but as far as I'm concerned if our government needs work done why not get the best people for the job. There is nobody better than Halliburton in their field. If you truly think that our country needs to give up oil we might as well give up the country. Terrorists won't stop using it. Everything that we have comes from an extent from oil. When we are fighting the terroists with our bow an arrows don't be complaining because people can't chip out the arrow heads fast enough. Oil makes every machine work, oil was used to build the entire computer that you are sitting and typing on right now. Synthetics are not developed to the extent that they can replace good old oil in all applications nor can enough be produced fast enough to meet the needs of our economy. The middle east has the largest supply of oil, our own country will not tap the all of supplies we have. If you think we should use our own then you better start voting for the people who can make that happen, the tree lovin' hippie party is not that party. And Stan nice work.
