OT: Why is Bush ransoming our troops?

[rogue]

So what are you trying to say? The Dutch are our friends and allies!

That is more random than me

[laugarkuen]

Unless you have decided to be a temp Brit in which case yes they are our friends and allies.

Your point?

Killing someone who is healthy in body (probably not in mind) is never humane. And humane to whom? He had not harmed the US or UK. If the Iraqi people had risen up and killed him then that would have been just, not humane.

He tried to assassinate a US president.

That said, as GA commented, it would have been better for him to be assasinated than the loss of life suffered by the many innocents who were bombed by us.

We didn't bomb that many people and tried very hard to avoid collateral damage when going after legitimate targets.

Wow Fred, he's even made us agree.

[/qoute]

and failed. It was also quite a while ago. Did people forget to do anything about it for a while?

I was commenting on the supposition that it would have been better to assainate him rather than go to war and bomb alot of innocents.

Hopefully we do try hard not to kill people by accident and it is unavoidable in war. It is also likely that due to bad judgement caused by stress, high spirits, blood lust and bad intellegence alot of people died who should not have.

RD,

You're talking about corn/sugar based ethanol.

Cellulosic ethanol can be produced from any plant and just about any plant part. There are specific enzymatic solutions/processes that they're looking into doing.

what would do more damage

the supposed "damage" that oil and co2 does to the "environment"

or

the large quantities of forests everywhere that would have to be chopped down to make way for these fuel crops

i mean think about it

the demand for 2 things has recently gone up

1 hamburgers

2 palm oil

what was the first thing that happpened

they chopped down huge quantities of rain forest
why ?
to raise cattle and grow crops

now think
how much oil does the world use on its various industries, cars,wars etc

by the end of our battle to save the planet

we will have ended up destroying everything that made it worth saving

Assassination of a leader such as Sadaam could have resulted in a full blown civil war and led to an even worse situation for the Iraqi people. At least that's one possibility or several. But we have to deal with the hand we picked.

Couldn't agree more.

Doesn't mean I won't argue to expand ideas.

how could the situation in iraq possibly get any worse ?
i mean what they have now is pretty **** close to a acivilwar in my book

But we have to deal with the hand we picked.

yes the hand WE picked

[Merryprankster]

I think as a courtesy he gave you links.

To three loosely connected articles that I am trying to understand in some kind of context.

What's his point?

What's the point of communication at all if you adopt the stance you do about it?

It seems readily apparent that the overpopulation of the earth by the human animal and its manape economics has created an imbalance in the ecosystem, more so than any other animal. Perhaps we ought to adopt China's One Child Policy. After all, in first world countries, we only have children for emotional support and reassurance. With the dissolution of the family structure, and socio-political social security actions in place, one doesn't need to rely on family for welfare in life. Pollution wouldn't be a problem with a less populated society.

According to the precepts of evolution, natural selection, and such, we're fated for a massive downsizing sooner or later, either by disease, or loss of natural resources (and ecological effects of pollution will assure us of this loss).

Humans don't have much longer at the rater they're reproducing. So do us all a favor, and stop ****ing around, people.

This is one of the reasons I don't allow women at my Shao-lin Ninjitsu commune.

Wow, you put Norm Crosby to shame.
