Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

That would probably do more good, acheive more, and hurt more.

My question, with the declaration that things are not going well in Afghanistan (no shit, Sherlock!) and that we (I assume this is the royal we, as I wasn't consulted) may reach out to the execution happy, women stoning, education hating, opium exporting, Al-Qaeda sheltering, Taliban, with some sort of power sharing option, how long will it be before the first people start calling for Obama's arrest?

I notice Tony took a shot at Obama too. I suppose he cruises the net looking for Obama worshipers when he is not busy baiting republicans.

I don't get it myself, but who am I to say how he should get his kicks.

Where is the evidence to convict Bush of anything? Newspaper articles and blogs?

Rome fiddles, while people call for Nero to burn!

It's like a game of ping pong
back and forth

a-round and a-round she goes
where she stops
nobody knows

circles
and cycles
babies screaming
people dying
and...

Kill 'em all!

Train roll on, on down the line,
Won't you please take me far away?
Now I feel the wind blow outside my door,
Means I'm leaving my woman behind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My woman's gone with the wind.

And I don't know where I'm going.
I just want to be left alone.
Well, when this train ends I'll try again,
But I'm leaving my woman at home....

I've never had a CB radio
and never needed a wheelbarrow of money
to buy a loaf of bread

Maybe that makes me apathetic
or...
maybe Tuesday's gone with the wind...

dam dam dam
I edited the hell out of it while you were posting.

I don't know nothing just what I been reading the papers

This is an all night radio station on channel 19 you are a voice in the night

I am just addicted to the grind trying to get over yabyum's mountain before the sun rises.



I done drove this keyboard from Chicago to Dallas tonight not a bad overnight trip

just me and my CB

Took my woman some flowers
we could sure use her courage right now


Maybe Hilary will redeem herself.

I heard women are just like men, except they don't have a penis to keep their brains in, so they stick them in their heads instead...

Crazy notion!

I heard they came from Venus, or did Venus come from women?

I guess it depends on the books you read

When they say it's a self help manual, do they mean it's a license for the author to help him self to your money?

I think I'll stick to the Discovery channel, it's less confusing, although my ex did complain when I tried to find tics on her back, to pick off...

And this has what to do with Bush?

(I've left the door open there for a very bad answer...)

Well it is a tenuous connection

Did I bring up women maybe so when I posted the picture of emma's grave.

I think women are from alpha centauri

And men are from Poughkepsie

I don't get cable
I don't want to have to work anymore than I do
Less I need the more freedom I have.
But I am old.
We don't live in the same world not really


I live on five bucks a day

Sure if you saw it on the history channel it must be true
I always enjoyed it when I saw it,
But I think it is more entertainment than fact.
Unless it is BBC i don't hardly trust anything I see on TV and BBC lies too.


Don't have no exes
not even in texas

this is boring
or I am

I have so many opinions I hardly have enough bodily orifices to express them all

write on

Interesting discussion, though a little too bloated for my taste by too many stretches where you're all just basically blowing smoke up each other's asses (not you, Doreen). Tony C, what the hell's wrong with you? Learn how to debate, would you? You waste no time pinning "Bush supporter" labels on your challengers and then turn around and deny it. What a joke. And XPress, some of your posts are like trying to wade through Tolstoy. I'm sure there's a point in there somewhere if I can stay awake long enough. Okay, that's a cheap shot, and obviously you are a free thinker, a man of intellect, probably more well read and twice as smart as me (age be damned) but man, get to the point.

I know I know. It's easy to just criticize, but where is my contribution? Fine. A few comments:

I agree with Tony. Sort of. The Bush mob should basically rot in prison for what they've done. That is the correct POV. Spin it any way you like, XPress, six ways to Sunday, but they are guilty and deserve to do some hard time. In a perfect world they do just that, but of course we don't live in such a world, and "civilization" in general has some serious issues to deal with regardless of the Bush Mob's sleeping arrangements. And this imperfect world is coincidentally why we cannot presume to set it all straight by sending troops all over creation, often very strange and unfamiliar, to battle every last goddamned bogeyman of the month and make it all right by military force. Those are some impossible odds, Slim.

As to specific comments earlier, here are my thoughts:
XPress:

Yes, Bush was an odious man, and he did a lot of things that are quite inexcusable, but as I hinted above, the Bush family has been notorious for over 100 years, so it's not like people weren't forewarned, and Bush was re-elected, in 2004, so it's not like, having made an initial "mistake", America didn't do it again... Like I said, people get the President they deserve.

Yeahbut... it remains unclear to many of us if either election victory was legit, particularly 2000. And even if you get past that there was that little matter of Bush and Friends lying their asses off to get us into an unnecessary war, which basically "got their foot in the door"-- don't change horses in wartime and all that.
XPress:

Even those that voted "against" him can't exactly claim to have clean hands, I mean, with his record, what sort of opposition was needed to beat him in 2004?

What sort of opposition could have realistically beaten them, given the magnitude of their lies and circumstance? What kind of an argument is that?
XPress:

How many people, between 2000 and 2004, drove home in their GM car, fuelled on Exxon gas, paid for from their Bank of America account, to their home, got inside, openned the FedEx parcel that had arrived, checked the answer phone, on their AT & T line, cracked open a Budweiser, turned on their General Electric light bulb, switched on their TV, watched a Time Warner show, or a Disney DVD, before turning on their computer, with it's Microsoft operating system, and coming online to bitch about Bush?... Because everyone who did one, or more, of the things above, contributed to Bush's campaign. That's a lot of people to arrest...

I don't consider myself a failure, but I fail to understand what this has to do with anything. Seriously.
XPress:

...touched on this in one of my other posts, when I talked about the straight jacket of modern society too, and the fact is that this thread is a prime example of the politically correct double speak that is actually damaging the next generation, by burying the truth, under an avalanche of PC talk.

Sorry, but the much vilified "PC", as you're spinning it here, is not a legitimate hiding place to cover for specific and obvious high crimes.
XPress:

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, James K. Polk, Zachary Taylor, Andrew Johnson, and Ulysses S. Grant all owned slaves. Should we dig them all up, and prosecute them?

Huh?

That's good. Got no prob with that.

I got no problem with the petition but
I don't see that as job one
I see Obama overturning one Bush policy after another. I see progress. Call me a polyanna cowboy.

I agree. Concentrate on trying to fix things first. I think the world is in some serious trouble now, and our energy needs to be focused primarily on trying to at least stop the bleeding.

I think we're capable of doing two things at once. I see no reason why we can't prosecute Bush and "fix things" at the same time.
Hell we're prosecuting every other criminal and our demcracy hasn't came to a halt.


Nazz

Tony C, what the hell's wrong with you?

Yawn, so what's yoiur problem sonny?
Well actually if you want to know, I'm a little constipated and caught a virus when I was downloading some porn.

Learn how to debate, would you?

Tell ya what , I'll debate how I wish and I'll allow you to do the same. (that's why they call it "debate")
So who you crowned you the debate authority? (didn't know there was one)

You waste no time pinning "Bush supporter" labels on your challengers and then turn around and deny it. What a joke.

Oh cry me a fucking river, details, details...who cares?
Like I said earlier, you boys made the ground rules, I'm just playing by em.

Interesting discussion, though a little too bloated for my taste by too many stretches where you're all just basically blowing smoke up each other's asses

Uh huh , sure...you're way above that type of behavior
You have so much smoke blowing out of your ass you look like a bong.
I akways enjoy meeting great authorities and debate experts.

So we can safely conclude that Bush, his worshippers and all of their relatives should be arrested and shipped to Gitmo...
