I don't believe entirely free health care would end up working in the end. It is a good idea, but the actual implementing of it would be a very tough thing to do.

However, I still don't like the idea of some poor kid not getting a heart transplant, or something like that, just because he can't fork over $500,000 for the doctor to get a new Porsche.

Pay attention kid. The US has lost, perhaps, 300 men. 25 thousand united states soldiers died on the first DAY of Omagh beach. This is no vietnam, far from it.

I understand this. I know the casualties will never be near any of our other major wars. But I don't think America can stomach very many more body bags coming home.

Back in WWII, the American people for the most part believed wholeheartedly in the cause of defeating the Axis nations. Now, the country is pretty much divided into many small groups, all with different opinions on what should/should have been done. Support for the war will continue to shrink as long as American blood is still being spilt in Iraq.

The real point of this thread is to discuss issues people have with Bush.

My main issue with him would be that he did to some degree mislead the American people into a costly war. Yes, Saddam Hussein was a very evil, and very cruel man. But I don't see why we have to go around playing Saviour of the World whenever something bad happens. I believe it would be best if we attempted to fix our own problems before everyone elses.

On another note, the Iraqi rebels now have the ability to win by simply not losing. If the casualties keep mounting, eventually we will pull out. No one wants another Vietnam.

Thanks. I think I'm gonna stay away from political discussions from now on though.

I've been listening to Thirteenth Step by A Perfect Circle for about a month now. It's really, really good. I love Maynard's lyrics and singing.

I dislike Bush for the fact that he doesn't seem to be very intelligent. I believe to be the leader of the most powerful country in the world, you should be at laeast reasonably smart. That's the reason I would have voted for Gore (if I could vote that is). He seemed to be a very smart man, and debated much better than Bush.

Now, I know 15 year olds aren't known for being the most brilliant political minds, but I'm going to create a serious debate thread in a minute.

Nooooooo.......

Not Fallout. This makes me really, really sad.

Fortunately, BioWare will continue to be around, which means we PC RPGers will have something to look forward too.
