        [deleted] 5
        
        I admire your stance as an individual, but since Andie said Canadian, I thought we were talking national policies. My apologies. - crash davis Mar 10, 10:24 3

        (I assume the IM refers exclusively to the Iraq war, and not the Afghanistan war, right?) - Beryllium Mar 10, 10:26 13
        
        I have no issue with Afghanistan, we've been there forever. He lied about WMD, he invaded Iraq before he had UN approval. - Andie Mar 10, 10:28 11

        Al Gore didn't 'shock and awe.' -- nm - Andie Mar 10, 10:39 2
        
        I'm just saying, it's not like Bush made up the stories about WMDs himself, as you imply. - Dr.Vermin Mar 10, 10:45 1
        
        I think it's fair to say that Cheney was the evil one. (The cafe press ad being shown right now is priceless) - Beryllium Mar 10, 10:50

        are you allowed to ship guns (via fedex or whatever) across state lines? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 10:36 1
        
        Yes, but the recipient has to have a federal firearms license. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 10, 10:38
        
        Really! I've heard horror stories about people visiting the U.S. and never getting out. -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 10, 10:28
        
        i'm not saying i regret going, i'm just saying, if you are going to boycott other countries based on their leadership.... -- nm - Andie Mar 10, 10:27 5
        
        Oh I get your point. And overall, it's a good one. - Dr.Vermin Mar 10, 10:32 4
        
        in your opinion. i'd like to compare civiilian casualties in Iraq vs Cuba. -- nm - Andie Mar 10, 10:34 3
        
        Not differing enough to justify the difference between "we're cool" and "pure evil". - Dr.Vermin Mar 10, 10:43 2
        
        but, i don't think *americans* are pure evil, see? -- nm - Andie Mar 10, 10:52 1
        
        I'm not taking it personally. :) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 10, 11:03
        
        Wow, that's an entirely fair thing to say to her! -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 10:22
        
        of course i'm not, but having been there, several times, i can tell you what you hear, and what happens aren't exactly equal. - Andie Mar 10, 10:21 5
        
        so in other words, you're saying you have no moral standards... :) - znufrii Mar 10, 10:25
