1000th

[RESiNATE]

Yesterday (December 7th, 2004), the 1000th U.S. Soldier lost their life in Iraq.
But, it didn't even make the main headlines in our news here - how about it the US?...or did they fail to mention it there, too?

We, in the UK, still don't know (aren't told) what the death-toll is for our troops.....

Remind you of any other past war?

My thoughts are with ALL those troops in Iraq.

Its so sad to hear about all this. Exspecially when its so unnessecary :(. I wish we would just pull out and let this stop. to many of our soldiers are dieing and there is no need for it we shouldnt be over there! We need to stop this before it destroys us !!

[GHoSToKeR]

too many people are dying

i dont give a fuck if theyre british, american, or iraqi.. nobody should be dying

and i dont give a fuck if i get flamed for saying that by any patriotic people out there - go screw yourselves, and go shoot some deer :)

[Kid Dynamite]

Yeah i agree. They have been sent away to die for no reason.

hey dont shoot deer... what is our obsession with killing? if its not each other then its just something else. fuck guns! (not literally its dangerous + silly) thats my perspective. SMOKE LOTS OF WEED RIGHT NOW I DEMAND IT :cool:

SMOKE LOTS OF WEED RIGHT NOW I DEMAND IT :cool:
Ok, ok, I will! :D (Since you twisted my arm!)

On a serious side, unfortunately, I think the war is far from over...it's all bullshit...:( Let's smoke one for every one over there who can't smoke while serving. :p

[Kombucha]

I think we should be in Iraq, in the long run I believe we are helping the iraqi people as a whole.

However, far too many people are dying. The wrong people are being sent in and intelligence and organisation seem to be very bad. I think the same effect could have been achieved with 1/10 the loss of life.

[NowhereMan]

dont know about the If we should be there at all shit,
seems with saddam gone we should get out of there let them people be there own police and find the ones killing the others for politics.

but i do know some very good people are losing lives for whatever reason.
just like the past,"the sleeping giant is awakened and its gonna stomp somebodies ass into a mud hole"
wars will never not exist,

to many have died period.

[Stoned Scouser]

My heart goes out to, all of the marchin troops
Thats flew the coup, brand new shiney boots
AK47's and tomato soup, through this darkened view
Their eyes start to droop, heart beating fast finding it hard to shoot
Wishing that politicians had a smart I.Q
Got good marks at school, not some retarded fools
Apart from few, fact around half of you
Will barf an spew, find their words far from true
Wanna spark their crew, leave 'em lookin black 'n' blue
Then bring your dogs through, have 'em bark 'n' chew
Fuck this! I'm not dying for an arse in a suit
I'm dying for you to embark on a new persuit
'Til then when your on the news, i'm gonna press mute
An keep spitting my truth, coz ain't shit else i can do
But call things how i see it and jus make a record or two

(this is copywritten btw if there's lyric biters out there!)

The best oxymoron ever is BUSH callin himself 'the leader of the free world'... LOL, is that possible :confused: ... far too many deaths, its wrong!

[sToNeDpEnGuIn420]

i hate the killing bush is stupid and should die,anyways haha i thought this was going to be res's 1000th post but it wasnt confused me damn it lol

[jacquelyne]

I didnt hear about it all i know is that none of our soldiers have died they are all SAS i think over there they need to come home look after our country.

[koshea]

i know im going to be chewed out for this but i have to give my two cents

first of all, bush is not a bad president, he is infact, one of the better ones the USA has ever had, he has turned the absolutley dead economy back to life and it is getting better every second. Also, he showed courage and the exact opposite of hypocricy after 9/11. he stood up for what america stands for, he went and took out the tyrany in afghanistan and in Iraq, and it needed to be done. ever hear of better safe then sorry? if Iraq did have deadly chemical or nuclear weapons do you think we should find out? letting them limit UN inspections is a piss poor way to be sure. im sure toroug or whoever his name is will back me up. yes, 1000 soldiers have died, and that is a tradgedy, but we have also been fighting a war for nearly 2 years. name any other single war that has been fought by ANY countries that had casualties under 1000 people in a two year period. ive held my tounge long enough and i ahd to say it. Bush is a good man, and the United States is a good country no matter what the world says


::-braces for insults-::

HAHAHAHAHAHA good one :cool:

[koshea]

prove me wrong mister "im so quick to insult but slow to abck it up"

[Euphoric]

you cant "prove" an opinon and you spelled back wrong OMG :eek: thats ok i have some opinons people dont agree with sometimes...

[koshea]

lol oh but you can prove all of those things sir

find a war lasting 2 years with less than 1000 casualties
prove the economy hasnt improved


see you cant


ps. its funny that you revert to making fun of my frequent grammar mistakes becuase your embarassed to be wrong

p.s.s- no hard feelings man, seriosuly i dont like enemys..

[Day Dreamin Faze]

God bless all the troops over there.


but as my freind puts it...

"We did not acquire the fucking freedom we have today by holding up anti-war signs"

war is a bad part of life and will never end.

[Imotep]

how many iraqis have died?

[koshea]

depends, iraqi citizens or saddam loyalist military forces

seriously its all good...we just both think the other is misguided. fortunately we both like weed probably more than politics:)
its an easy subject to debate...its pointless to argue, trying to change people's minds when they've already made their minds up...besides this topic in particular can get pretty messy ;)
1000 casualties on OUR side..what about all the thousands of dead iraqis? nobody gives a shit. xcept me *cue heavenly music*

[koshea]

lol how can you call america bad for killing the enemy?...war means fighting, fighting means death, that is the POINT, the fact that there are alot of dead iraqis and only 1000 americans means bush is doing a damn good job with his decisions.

[Euphoric]

it wasnt exactly a fair fight

[RESiNATE]

Guys guys guys...chill....
Look, we're there, and that's it.
Nothing we can do will change that.
The reasons for us being there, have been discussed and debated, and will continue to be so until it ends - and then there'll be documentaries that carry on the arguments.

All I was saying, is that there are at least 1000 American familys, unknown quanties of UK troops' families, and thousands upon thousands of Iraqis families, who will be spending christmas without a loved one, this year.

I spare a thought for them, as I imagine how I'd feel if it were a loved one of mine....

so your not a citizen when you get an opinion and follow it.
this is part of the military brainwashing. its ok to kill someone labelled an insurgent. fuck mate youd be an insurgent if foreign bastards tore your contry up.

[koshea]

[koshea]

im going to be the bigger man and let you have the last word...but i know what i know to be true

[Day Dreamin Faze]

it wasnt exactly a fair fight

The vietnam war wasnt very fair know was it? Wars arnt ment to be fought fair. If we were fair we wouldnt have a reason to go to war.

[maryjanemama]

Quick, somebody say something funny! My buzz is going out the window! :(

[Kombucha]

but as my freind puts it...

No, but chances are most of your freedom was not gained through war.

[duppy man]

this so called War on terrorism is a total sham America backed the IRA for years donating millions..and all the time they were killing Innocent men women and children, why didn't we go in guns blazing dropping bombs ect... because we would have have killed thousands of Innocent Irish you cant destroy terrorist with bombs but with intelligence and counter intelligence as for WOMD why don't we attack North Korea or Israel ? because the have the capabilities to hit back very hard, because they DO have WOMD !!!!!!!!!!!! Im sure most wars could have been avoided...

[koshea]

No, but chances are most of your freedom was not gained through war.


now im not sure on this one, but im alomst positive america got ALL of its freedom from a war with britain...

[Imotep]

Quick, somebody say something funny! My buzz is going out the window! :(

this mustard gas is makin me thirsty! :D

[The C]

Man think of it this was.

Does nike give a damn?
What shareholder wouldnt be inraged if thier coperation wouldnt kill a fellow human being for a dollar. Cause up 1 million poeple lies 1 million dollars, then billions, until thiers 10 rich guyes on an island thier and the world is destroyed; because it cant afford itself.
