The situation in Iraq is just as ridiculous as our position in Vietnam was in the 60's and 70's. Where are the kids screaming to get us out of there? I'll tell you where. They're sitting on their asses playing their PS2's and looking at porn on the internet. They're fucking lazy and they don't give a shit as long as they're not over there. America is going down the toilet. Education is a joke. Our jobs are going overseas where employees are happy to do the job better for 1/5 the cost. Our future generation just gets lazier and more apathetic. I have to give credit to our friends from Mexico. At least they had the balls and the initiative to get out and let their voices be heard. God forbid our college kids do something like that. _____________________________________________________________________ looking for a better newsgroup-reader? - www.recgroups.com

The murder rate in Mexico is 13.04 per 100K vs the US's 5.62 per 100K. There is next to no opportunity down there and the governement is physically assulting each other... nevermind, I'm responding to a troll.

You're right, there's only 3k dead. Trivial. It's just the media making us think it's a big deal. There's ~150k troops in Iraq compared to how many highway drivers? And don't compare the death rates in Vietnam v. Iraq in relation to our time spent there. Oh and don't take into account the thousands of Iraq war injuries that would've been deaths without modern medicine and technology. No there's clearly no comparing the two. _______________________________________________________________ * New Release: RecPoker.com v2.2 - http://www.recpoker.com

I've been led to believe that that has much to do with the fact that the Vietnam conflict was related daily by the medium of television. Since there is no draft, maybe the college kids figure there are 'just enough' people who do want to be there. No problems then. > America is going down the toilet. Education is a joke.

I'll tell you where. i don't need you to tell me where the fuggin' college kids are: harvard kids are busy protesting the low wages their parents pay to highly skilled janitors. students at brown are defending oragami bird making as a "major". MIT kids are in headlocks (see below). SEC students are too busy crushing keystone cans on their foreheads. Big Ten kids are fucking, defecating, and pissing. AND...... university of chicago kids are busy studying how to conquer the goddamn world! mo_charles ______________________________________________________________________ looking for a better newsgroup-reader? - www.recgroups.com

Of course, the typical Press trick is to paint the good people as some kinda 'mercenaries', 'extremists', right-wing 'death squads', etc. When in reality it is the good people who are merely defending their property from being taken by the invading hordes. Another Press trick is to paint the invaders, the commie bastards, as merely 'rebels' or some such description. When in reality, they are fully functioning communist terrorists armed with Soviet and Chinese weapons, trained by Cubans, etc. That's the way the Press works. This is why I always say, don't believe anything in the Press until it is officially denied. Given the rate of decline our country is witnessing, I see no way we are going to avoid internal conflicts. As you said, maybe we need a 'domestic war' to shake things up a bit. I agree. There must be patriotic squads who know how to deal with the subversives like OrangeSFO, Man Beaten by Jacks, BillB, and the rest of the traitors. These squads will have a way of making the problem dissappear. VIVE PINOCHET!!!!!! -Paul Popinjay

American college kids are working their way through college. Foreign college kids get government grants for college so they are busy plotting terrorist attacks or interviewing for jobs in their native country. I'm just kidding of course, but the obvious answer is right in front of you if you look hard enough. They didn't want to get drafted in the 60's. There's no draft now so there's no care.

I think you have already lost 3 thousand dead and there are 46,000 casualties which is a fairly big proportion of theoverall number of troops.

Really? Approximately 1,526,000 members of the US Militaries on active duty currently. (Marines, Navy, Air Force and Army), with another 500,000 or so in the Reserves or Army National Guard. That's not even 1% dead, and only about 3% if you include all the wounded. Hardly a big proportion. Aodhan ------- : the next generation of web-newsreaders : http://www.recgroups.com

It's so easy for most people in this country to be objective about the war casualities, since they haven't even been affected at all.

So they are cowards? Or just not poor enough to have to gamble with their lives to have any kind of life. Anyway most of them are smart enough to realise that quickest way to get out of Iraq is to lose the war and they have already acomplished that.
