i think that the comment that made you originally post is out of line, and you were well within your bounds to say something (although i think you chose a poor way to say it ). Not sure how many "off-topic" threads you read, but I would say to jump in any time you want. Many of us here have wildly different views, and we manage to keep a level of respect. Just off the top of my head, timmgirvan and Bababooyee and I have squared off in the most heated/at times angry discussions on abortion. We don't agree on anything on the topic. I got mad. I'm sure they got frustrated. Do any of us $hit-talk the others afterwards? Nope. We disagreed very badly over something that made us all a little agitated, yet I'm still waiting to hear if Bababooyee is moving to Michigan so we can hang out for handicapping and beers.

I think that by and large, we're all mature enough to handle those disagreements -- so by all means jump in anytime.

This has been a message from the Off-Topic room ambassador.

ps -- I'm really sad that you didn't even MENTION this, as I believe it was one of my very few, shining moments :

I am glad that we agree! Maybe we are more similar that we thought an hour ago. And yes, the words that I chose to make my original post with was in poor taste, but that just sprung from the irkiness (totally not a word) that I felt from reading the "real war criminal" post. I am glad that now, a few thousand words later.. my real point came out!

But believe me... u dont want me to hang out in the politics forum... I have strange views involved with politics... I can be very far "right" with one topic and very "left" with the other topic.. Which is why I classify myself as an Independant! Haha... my views sure would confuse the average forum reader...

oh yea... your dixie chicks comment was pretty bad a$$

i also didn't like the 'real war criminals' remark.
also consider myself independant...and i can relate to being 'right' on some things, and 'left' on others.

Thats cool.. I am glad that you guys understand what my view is, eventhough my original post was a bit out of line, I was just ticked.

Not agreeing w/ your government is one thing, but siding with the enemy is another!

Since I'm the one that made the "war criminal" comment, I'll clarify.
Germany has charged Donald Rumsfeld as a war criminal. Japan has already tried George W Bush on charges of being a war criminal, and he was found guilty in absentia.
If the US can hold the leaders of other countries to account for their actions, I see absolutely nothing wrong with holding the leaders of the US accounatble as well.
A recent Johns-Hopkins study found that nearly 600,000 Iraqis have died due to the actions of this administration. This administration has also disregarded the Geneva Conventions and suspended habeus corpus.
Let the trials begin (as soon as they are out of office, as they are protected currently).

It wasn't the country of Japan, it was comprised of citizens from Japan, Korea, Phillipines, and Indonesia. These tribunals are not uncommon,and occured during Vietnam, First Gulf war, and purely symbolic...period. a form a protest.

Every right to say it, just should be stated correctly and not spun.

Dr Fager,
Far be it from me to spin anything. And that goes for all the other "spinners" too.
