is it just me or does university acceptance piss you off. 9 years ago my sister applied to universities all over canada, including UBC and QUEENS (two of the top universities in the world.) she had and average of 78% and got in everywhere at that time the curriculum was easier as well math they did in grade 12 is stuff we do in grade 11. now i am appling every where i have applied to UBC UVIC UofT waterloo, geulph and Queens. i have an average of 83% and i am takeing IB courses, and i have bee rejected by UBC, UofT and Queens. tell me how fair is that. it just pisses me off how universities hav such high requirement for ppl coming out of highschool.

OK. Look Shimraa. In your worldview, your logic is spot-on. But that is appearanlty because you see the world through a moral relativist's perspective. We don't force democracy on others. Oppression is forced on others. Communism was forced on others. The Soviet Union started in a coup, not a people choosing communism.
Ok. maybe my statements were a bit.. er.. brash. I still believe we were on the right side of Vietnam and Korea. The problem is we weren't allowed to win at Vietnam. The government held the military back because of all the hippys chanting "give peace a chance." Now look at the countries into which we didn't stop the spread of Communism. Look at china. Look at North Korea. We were on the right side of Vietnam and Korea even though we ran away.

I'm not even going into the rebellious nature of humanity because that is a matter of theology and something that will cause people to go ballistic.

And please SEPARATE YOUR THOUGHTS NEXTIME. Do you know how hard it is to reply to something so hard to read?


lol sorry about the thought part chaltab. its just the way i type sometimes.

whats wrong with china they are an emerging superpower, the only things holding them back is techonlogy and there poplulation. this may surprise you but the only country in the world that could hold its own against the US in a non- nuclear war is china. yes china would lose but the US would take exteme castulties. economically china is stable as well. some of the richest people in the world are chinese and there middle class is growing at a funominal rate.

as for korea. the US should have just stayed out and democrasy can be forced on people. look at history and france (thanks you motti for that link)on top of that in the 60s and 70s the US was enforceing capitalism more that it was democracy.

and in num the US held back because they didnt want the USSR to get involved directly, and in the end the pulled out because they lost too many soldiers, there soldierd were being slaughtered by the north veitnum gorillaz.

i am sorry your affended but warbler that is a risk you take when you enter discussions like this. dont leave the baord if you dont like what you see here, but leave this thread if you cant handle it.

So the question is what can the Presdent do with the military without the Congress declaring war? I don't know. Its hard to say. But Presidents have been doing it since Korea.


your right and that is something is not good. and it has to be stopped but i cant do anything about it .

Motti, the Twin towers were not a Military target. They were a place where over 3,000 civilians worked. CIVILIANS!!!!!! that really offended me, Motti, please don't try to justify that kind of mass murder, you can't.

and what about the mass murders that took place when the us carried out its air campaign in iraq. they only show the bomb that hit there tagets on TV you know. you know the ppl in iraq and palistine and afgaistan and bosnia and all the other place where the US have made war feel the same way.

Quote
The people who commited the attacks were sick evil murderers pure and simple. And it offends me when you suggest that the USA is somehow deserving of that kind of attack. The 3000 people who were killed didn't deserve it pure and simple!


in many ways the US got what was coming to it. the US tries to interfere in other peoples affairs too much they either send funds or supply here or they invade there. that is why alqida hates them. rather then just saying someone is evil and bad try to figure out why they feel they way they do. the US help Osama back in 1979 why would he hate them now. Because the US trys to control everything. they put there nose where it does not belong. i am not saying that 911 was right and to tell you something i knew people that died that day. my cousin worked a block away from the twin towers at that time, he is still alive but there were people that i knew through him that died on that day.

Shim, first you complain about how The U.S. didn't do anything about Hitler until we were attacked, that we did nothing while he began to murder Jews. Now you want us to do nothing while Saddam Murders his own people. You can't have it both ways.


i am not trying to have it both ways i am mearly pointing out that then they didn't think that they should the police the world back then why do they think they can now. at that time we didnt have a UN now we do.

Is the Ira evil and should they be taken down? yes But they havn't attacked us yet, they don't continue to threaten to attack us. I'm not against Great Britian going after the Ira. It is just that Al-qaeda attacked us and is threatening to do it again and therefor they take priority over the IRA (for the USA that is). And I am unaware of any connection between the IRA and the USA.


no comment because i dont really know anyhitng about the IRA. but a question didnt bush declare war on a tactic. therefore shouldnt he attack and be at war with everyone who uses that tactic. not just pick and choose. he made a defiant statement and he should stand beside it. if this truely is a war on terrorism he should hit all terrorist org. not jsut the islamic ones that threaten him. i am sure if he went after the IRA much of the islam war would came down and his war wouldnt be called a crusade. even if bush called it a crusade it is not motti. bush is not very bright and so he says stuff he doesnt mean or are not true. ( the axis of evil for example.)

Quote
I would ask all those who think we were wrong for attacking afganistan. To tell me what we should have done. And keep in mind that we don't have time machines to go back in time and stop ourselves from setting Al-qaeda up. Al-qaeda is here no matter how much we now regret helping them in the past, they are still here and are a threat. What in hell are we supposed to do?!? Tell me!

no one disagrees with you there.

I am a proud American and your statements have hurt me


just because your a proud american doesnt mean you have to agree with everything you country does. part of being wise is to be open minded warbler.

your right bush does look like he is ogin on cursades but in my opinion he is not he is just trying to do what he things is right. but he does not realize that it is not his place to do those things. he should let other people solve there problems not solve them for them.

I know the US isn't guiltless but we have been on the right side of every war we've been involved in. We nevered conquered another country.


OMG I am sorry man but that is such and arrogant statement, America has been on the right side of every war. Lets name the last three wars America has been part of. The second golf war they went to war on lies. On faulty intelligence, the ends DOES NOT justify the means. Saddam had no weapons he said so many times he let arms inspectors in. (yes he was secretive but that is his right. he does not have to lie down for America) and we find out now that he didn’t have any. Afghanistan. This was a very good move, bush attacked the root of the problem after 911 I agreed with this war and I commended bush for it. Rather then attacking everything is sight after 911 bush thought it through then attacked. Then we go back to 1990 to the first golf war. Just curious do you know how that war was started. Ill tell you. Kuwait was drilling at an angle and taping oil on Iraq’s side of the boarder. In effect they were stealing Iraq’s oil. saddam found out, told them to stop, they wouldn’t and so saddam invaded. America thinking they were the best then went in and attacked Iraq, in effect America defeated the thieves. Now tell me was America on the "right" side in 2 of those last three wars. NO lets look at some of the other wars they were a part of. In Vietnam they tried to impose their capitalistic views on a country that was going to become communist is that right or wrong to impose your views on others. Then in Afghanistan they fueled supplies to the Arabs so that Afghanistan would not be taken over by the USSR. Then in WWII the Americans only entered the war only after they had been attacked even thou Britain and France and Canada was asking for their help b4 hand and even thought Hitler was committing the holocaust where was there urge to be the law enforcement of the world then. then lets go way back to the 19th century. America annexed New Mexico, Texas, and California from Mexico. They took over that land. (so don’t tell me the US has never taken over other countries directly. heaven knows how many countries they have taken over indirectly.) Back then they also annexed Washington stat, which was originally going to be part of Canada when Canada gained independence. And your telling me they aren’t gutless. America isn’t your right but they are nowhere near innocent either. Don’t get me wrong wither I like America I will probably live there one day and be a citizen. But I really do despise there foreign polices and really wish they would just sit in there own country and not worry about what is going on in the middle east the only reason 911 happened was because they would not stop influencing the middle east whether they were financing a rebel group or a government or actual there trying to oust leaders they didn’t like

fighting is part of mans nature


Personally I feel that man is good. Go to any individual and ask them some basic questions about war and justice and they will all reply in the same way but when you get groups of people now that is where things get bugged up.

That is all for now cus I just saw this topic. Topic and I don’t want confer too much at one time other wise people start missing the points that are being brought up.

ok finally i can get back into my thread.

yes you can dl ps2 games and you can also coply them toy your computer. you dotn need a dvd burner because the ps2 can read regular games just like ps1. sp all you have to do is burn them onto a CD. now here is the catch inoder to pay the brunt games you need s mod chip which is ilegal. next you need t install it properly if you fuck up no more ps2 and there are not many ppl around unless you live in a big city that will install the chip cheap or even install it at all. the the choice fuck up my ps2( high chances of doing this) and play burnt games. or just go to the store and buy games cheap. they drop in price pretty quick so i just rent to game if it that important to me or ill buy a previsously used version from block buster for like $20.
