I honestly think that if there is any country the US should consider military action against it is North Korea which poses a VERY REAL threat to the United States and is moving ever closer to making war on South Korea.

Oh, I dunno....
I shot your lack of data down pretty easy, and I'm a Californiana (and a former Oregonian). No Europeans in my family tree for four or five generations.

Yeah, that happened. And California is also such a place as to tell others how to live. It is the shining example of good government.

Unless you are 2 or 100% native American, or your family tree doesn't fork, all possibilities, you have Europeans within your blood with the last three of four generations on at least on side, as most of us do.

Me neither. I guess we have somthin in common after all :lol:. But that is one of the major reasons why Im against any such war.
War CAN help the economy but it can ALSO do just the opposite.

I'm sorry to ask, but... HOW are you possibly going to win? I just can't see how it can be worked out. America is very dependant on China and I doubt Europe will be inclined to get involved in such a preposterous war.

I think we should start a civil war in China and then join one side of the war. The reasons are numerous.

1) It would bring back the economy, spending money on a war brought us out of a depression, it would do the same now.

3) We could reduce the national debt and the trade deficit. We would not need to pay China what we owe them. And we would not be purchasing goods them. Instead we would be manufacturing them in the United States.

Kill them instead of paying the money you owe them. How morally upstanding.

If I'm not mistaken, don't the Americans produce the most greenhouse gases per capita out of all the countries in the world? Or at least come bloody close to it, well above China?

1) It would bring back the economy, spending money on a war brought us out of a depression, it would do the same now.

2) We need to eliminate the capitalist dictatorship that exists in America. It has major gross human rights violations. By eliminating the American government we eliminate the only existing sane nation that seriously violates human rights.

3) We could reduce the national debt and the trade deficit. We would not need to pay America what we owe them. And we would not be purchasing goods them. Instead we would be manufacturing them in China.

4) America is destroying the environment. The amount of population is incrediablty destructive to the planet, and people living there, and soon the oceans and the even the world's ecosystem.

5) If helped American people over throw their plutocracy, we would become allies, and help the American people live in and experience a Democracy like the rest of the world's sane countries.

What do you think? Should we allow America to continue as it is? Or is now the time to overturn their plutocracy, before it is to late?

See, I can do it too! :lol:

Favouring war and killing masses of people to improve the country's economy shows more a lack of conscience than a misguided one. 'Redneck' would be a gross understatement, no?
