"Nobody": next question? [Report this comment] Posted by: BlueBerry PickN on Jul 22, 2008 11:01 AM Current rating: 5 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] Americans to hold Americans liable for foreign human rights abuses that have been sold to 'might makes right' American culture as 'in their best interests'?? come on... not bloody likely, they already think themselves victims of their delegated 'self-government'. *Can broke Americans bring themselves to say, "war reparations"?* I shudder to consider the nationalism, racism, violence & vehemence that would arise when Broke Americans realized they OWE what they OWE & that the World demands they cough up reparations on top of their national debts. They'll lose their minds. ┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄ BlueBerry Pick'n can be found @ ThisCanadian ┄┄ "... tolerance of intolerance is cowardice" ~ Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

[Report this comment] Posted by: nightgaunt on Jul 23, 2008 12:24 PM Current rating: 5 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] Lives can't be repaid (resurrection technology doesn't exist) no matter how much money is paid. Money we won't have because our wealth will be in the bloody hands of the killers in charge now. Our whole gov't system has been compromised and the only thing we can do is not go along with its criminal acts and laws. Very hard to do because these men and women have no empathy so any act up to and including torture and murder they will do to accomplish it.

[Report this comment] Posted by: Nightstallion on Jul 24, 2008 3:07 AM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] Bush, McCain, Cheney, Clinton, Obama, Rove, Pat Robertson, and the pope are my enemies. Reason? They make my decisions for me without asking my approval or seeking my thoughts on the subject. NO ONE IS YOUR SUPERIOR! If you think that way you are a slave and your number is already stamped in your memory or carried in your hand in your wallet. You cannot buy or sell without that number you cannot buy food nor support your family but that you have that number. It was not intended to be this way but you chose not to guard the guardians and now you will be paying the piper and the ferryman with stolen money. These people have stolen my birthright and yours right out from in front of our noses. Who is to blame, go look into the bathroom mirror. I keep one above the mantel piece so I know who let these thieves into the hen house. What they have done is personal; they did it with malice aforethought and with criminal intent. I will tell them I know them even If I am shot for it! Do not raise your fist in anger at these liars; they are protected by more riches than you ever knew existed. But, I for one will not allow them to get near me that I do not protest in the bitterness of my soul. And you Pat Robertson you scheming money laundering servant of the bottomless pit, deserve to be pecked to death by Ducks! I have had it with the foul mouth hypocritical turn coat way you treat the least of Gods children. May your shorts wedge so tight you start singing Coloratura Soprano unbidden! May your dog show you the contents of his stomach three times a day on your shoes. May all the ants in your neighborhood take up residence in your dining room. There is only one God in your religion as there is in Judaism, Islam, and Coptic Gnosticism. There is only one according to you and your babbling believers and HE not you is the ONE! THE ONLY MAJORITY OF ONE ARE HIS SONS AND WE ALL ARE! What you want is War in Heaven at your behest! May the no-seeums of a thousand Alaskas take up residence on your Temple!
