People have different opinions from you. Welcome to the real world.

I thought it was Nikov that was trolling around here.

I'm still about 80% certain of this.

Nope, not trolling. Occasionally being sarcastic, irritable or less than sane, but I don't deliberately set out to get everyone into a flame war. And yes, my opinions are my opinions, and I really am C++. From where I'm standing, the Communism thread looked like an enormous sarcastic joke because, good God, nobody actually beleives that Marxist crap, right? And I think that's my problem here. I can't tell if people are being sarcastic or serious because the opinions are so far from what I hold that it seems ludicrous that such obviously intelligent people are espousing them. But I suppose its the same to all of you.

I suppose if you kept drafting people up, wasting money and lives, America might have eventually "won" Vietnam.  But the whole point is that it just wasn't worth it.

Actually this is the point. After we crushed the Communists in the Tet offensive, Mao's "move a mule, move an army" guerilla warfare Asian revolution scheme hit a brick wall. We're told Hamburger Hill was a waste since we abandoned the hill the next night, yet taking the hill was never the point. Killing 630 encircled PAVN troops for 72 Americans was the point. Proving to the enemy we could beat them in an infantry assault and weren't reliant on our firepower was the point. Still, all people hear is Hamburger Hill, huge casualties, abandoned it. Same with Tet. We hear about Cronkite declaring the war unwinnable, but we forget the Communists had lost their entire guerilla force in failed attack. America was sick of ten years of war in a jungle, but the Chinese and Soviets realized they couldn't defeat us in a theater we really set to hold.

I can't stand what Nikov has to say most of the time, but yes, "Finally..." has definitely been getting a lot of classless, juvenile crap lately.

You make me want to rip your ears off and wear them on a necklace, but indeed, I beleive you see the root of my contention with Finally.

FakeEdit: No need to tell G-Flex to calm down. We're quite comfortable with our mutual hated.

... I am concerned this forum contains just a bit too much of it, and am beginning to feel that I cannot honestly present my opinions as everyone else is likely lying through their teeth at me.

Does anyone else feel this way?

So yeah, that's the book of Job.

Why did God just let Satan stroll into Heaven anyways?

Because its a divinely inspired allegory, or alternately because Satan strolls around everywhere else and is the 'prosecutor' in this court?

Any serious questions?

Since the illegal immigrants are about 95% Hispanic, it is assumed anyone against illegal immigration is a filthy white redneck racist.

Ohhh strawman-showdown is it? Lets play!

Since a law was passed stating that anyone who looks like they might be a filthy immigrant must be stopped and asked for their ID and papers (and as nikov said, 95% of illegal immigrants are hispanic) institutionalised racism exists in Arizona.

Your turn.

So if crack cocaine is illegal, and say 95% of all crack abusers were black, would that make crack cocaine drug stings racist?
