Well....the american wiew on ideas of socialistic base doesnt bother me.You are Americans ..we are not.

You do your things your way.We do our`s our way.

Only thing that troubles me sometimes i discussions is that you mix up socialism wit communism.Ypou do it so frequently that i believe it is deliberate.

Ypou see the bomb was buil by humans.

Humans do these things.

Had been built by pygmees ( saw you called someone that earlier in a post ..nice...)

BlueLight when you take raid to task for his numerous insults to me --- and you have said not a word -- then you may achieve some believeability with me.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Well...i just enetered the building.. ..you jumped on me and i saw you jumping on someone else.Maybe ill get the hang of the rest of the peole here in due time.



then they...would have tried it.It has nothing to do if the bomb was american or not.

So that would mean that Saddam and N. Korea must be stopped immediately.

That is extremely simple.

If.....one has the intelligence to understand it...

heheh....do as I say, not as I do....
--------------------------------------------------------------

Yes you are right.Not to weel formulated by me.Excuse me.





Furthermore...yes we do defend ourself....

Please elaborate.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have a defense.We have tanks submarines airplanes guns etc etc...most of which we produce ourself.They hold a very high technological standard.Some of the fine stuff for killing we produce is sold to Usa.We have an army.Every male above 18 is part of it up until 47 years of age.

That is our defense



No...i am not resdponsable for what happened during WW2.


And.....You dont tell me to shut up about anything.

Right now you are using a very common American bull**** attitude that i have learned to hate the last year as i have started talking to people on the net.

Perhaps they have but scant regard for a country that won't even choose sides or defend itself. Or perhaps they had relatives killed over there defending you. And seeing that your anti-US posts are what they get in return. Could be any of a number of good solid reasons.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well choosing sides is what we do.We have choosen to stand behind the UN.Something you should consider doing a little more.

And...WW 2 is no point in commenting ..I have aready done so.Ypu have already seen the post.Not good enough for you...Well nothing to do about.

I just say there was a logic as to why we did not declare war against Hitler in 39 40 42 43 or 44...The one and only thing that would eventually have happened would have been that we were occupied in 1 or 2 weeks...maybe that would have been good....maybe not....i dont know..just as little as i know and ever will know if there was a point in bombing Hiroshima.




I suggest you do not develop you rethorics into personal insults any further ...which is the normal behaviour from these people...

You have already started by insulting me personally several times in just a couple of answers.

If you have anything to say to me ...then you stick to "your facts" and leave the bull**** outside.


Where are the facts here:

"that is an assumption that is not possible to verify"
"that is why they use it"

.................................................. .............
Well...i dont remeber that one..show me to it and ill comment it.Which post is it in??

Hmm sounds good to me too bluelight. I think it depends what you can an insult. But like anywhere, you tend to get what you give in this world. So if I were this guy, I wouldn't be so quick to complain.

Besides if I were this guy, I wouldn't be so quick to write off the Swedish armed forces.... (This BTW is no artists impression).




Also http://www2.mil.se/?lang=eng


It looks to me that the Sweds are just about equipped enough to kick anyone's ass. This guy (in his ignorance) completely confuses the concept of neutrality with that of having no defence at all. Try telling that to the crew of the Russian nuclear sub that the Swedes tried to bomb the crap out of in the late 1980's when it accidentally strayed into Swedish territorial waters. Indeed all during the 80's the Swedes were obsessed with hunting Russian subs, and were never shy, as we were here in the west of attacking them. The Sweds have balls ok. There's no doubt about that.

Bluelight, nothing wrong with the forests and lakes up here. You've gotta believe all those german tourists who come up here "to see real nature". (I'm talking about Finnish lapland but I'm sure the situation is quite the same in Sweden. I actually live about 100 meters from the border, and visit sweden at least once a week )

Raid, maybe they don't know about the armies of the Scandinavian countries because we never attack anyone?

My RANT

This is my rant and if you don't like it you can lick my balls.

I read yesterday that the French, Germains and to a lesser extent the Russians have more money involved in Iraq than previously believed. WTF. And this goes against the sanctions the UN has placed on Iraq. Specificly FRANCE has be selling lots of CHEMICALS (possible war use) to Iraq.

GOD DAMN FOKKING ASSHOLE FRENCH PEOPLE (Government). They accuse the USA of being "oil" motivated when it is in fact them that is money motivated. That's it. I hate those fokkers. I could care less if the USA accidently dropped a few hundred nukes on France.

I have listened to all the arguements I could find on why the USA should NOT attack Iraq. NOT a one holds any logic. Then you look at all the logic/compassion on why we should go into Iraq and there is a ton of it (reasons).

Is it me or are people history stupid?

Fokk the french! Fokk the U.N. AND FOKK YOUR MOM!

IF YOU DON"T LIKE THE USA ATTACKING IRAQ TRY AND STOP IT! You will just end up being dead (and good riddance).


I'll rant more later.

Lol you got to love ByteMe, is it just me or does anyone else here feel he would make a good pet? I would just love to take him for walks, pat him on the head and throw sticks for him. But hey ho I guess it will never happen.... Really I do find it hard to support the French position on anything much. They are Franco imperialist sons of b*tches (their government is anyway). Yesterday they told all of the former Eastern European countries hoping to enter the EU that France might block their entry if they supported war in the UN. That is France trying to raise her old ugly imperialist head again. But really the bottom line is that you are all probably as bad as each other. They accuse you of pursuing your interests, you accuse them of pursuing theirs. I see no difference. As for nuking France, well there have often been times when the people of the UK might have considered this too, but since it is generally only the conservative right in France who maintain the Franco line, we would probably be nuking a very few of the French political elite. The ordinary every day people aren't so bad.
There is always ways to deal with the French, usually they will yield when they realise things aren't going their way - and they might loose out in the bigger picture if they do not choose the right side. They can be won over, it just takes a little thought and skill to do it.

Like someone else said, so long as you can persuade France that she isn't being told what to do - and that participation is in her best interests she will soon tag along.

I can all but guarantee that if there is a war, the French government will be there with everyone else too.

Ever hear that joke about the old WWII vet that gave a speech at a school? (was some funny **** to me)

I left all kinds of "material".

HOW DOES FRANCE JUSTIFY ALL THE CHEMICALS THEY HAVE BEEN SELLING IRAQ? (along with some other military hardware)

In effect they are HELPING saddam. One reason it would not bother me if we killed the french people involved in that. And DON'T say the USA did the same thing. There was no sanction against Iraq when we sold them crap.

Sanctions, no scantions... Its all just semantics, by this argument it only becomes wrong when the US says its wrong. What happens if another country decides its wrong when they decide its wrong? Which is what France have done. Like I said, your both as bad as each other.

Yea? These sanctions are U.N. done? You seem to be the one preaching to follow the U.N.


The USA sold this type of stuff many years ago... we didn't know we was such a wacko... France is selling them stuff NOW!

Yeah well I do think the UN is valuable, particularly if you want to bring everyone on board. But maybe the French don't have such Gold Fish like memories as you, they can't see why the morality of 12 years ago, that was good enough for you then, isn't good enough for you now. Who is the God given moral authority in all this? In truth there is none. There is only a consensus. And that is what we must work towards. I think claiming moral superiority at any time is likely to prove dangerous.

Like someone else said, so long as you can persuade France that she isn't being told what to do - and that participation is in her best interests she will soon tag along.

Are you saying that France went against the UN sanctions, developed by concensus, and you choose to ignore it?

And in this regard what does it matter what the US did in an earlier epoch? The subject was France Today. Your comments re the US are irrelevant.
