Yes, we should leave the Middle East alone. Not like sexism, radicalism, poverty, the heroin market, Antisemitism, bigotry, and genocide is, ya know, detrimental to society or anything. If we brought proper education and relief to the Middle East then they'd be a lot better off. We just need to get rid of the snags (read: improvised explosive devices) in the area. So what if nine years have passed? Over seventy years have passed since World War II. Does that mean we should forget about the Holocaust? Absolutely not. I'd rather spend decades looking for al-Qaeda's leaders and eliminating them rather than pulling every troop out now and let them get back up to snuff. Most, if not all, of America's current problems in the Middle East are from not finishing what we started. The economy goes up and down, regardless of war or peace. Sure, we'd probably be better off if we weren't in Iraq, but it was bound to happen eventually.

on your second reply, i never suggested that people who start threads or post indicate intelligence, there was talk of this part of the forums being only for intelligent people and i merely asked where are all of them, i dont see new threads being made very often, i dont see posts being made very often.

The syntax, tone, and word choice of your sentences heavily imply that "Thread making = Smart." You also use the same things to imply that you're being shat on by the smart people for making a thread, not for failing at being insightful or at the very least constructive.

on your third reply, the video was called the invisible empire, because these people are doing this behing closed doors and manipulating the world, the name is not whats important as i stated. the way it works is important.

Everything, and I mean
everything, happens behind closed doors. Hospitals, governments, businesses, churches, schools, and Xenu knows what else. I don't understand what your beef is with that. Is it because you think you're being mislead? Well, tough titties; that's gonna happen a lot. Is it because you think you're being left in the dark? Well, even tougher titties; it's honestly for your own good. If Obama told the public about everything (from policy making to military strategy) then we'd be in a bigger mess than when his universal health care bill was announced and the Republicans ran with it. President Washington coined the term "presidential privilege." It basically means that the President is allowed to withhold certain documents and the like in order to preserve national security. It really is for our own good that Obama consults with his trained advisers than with the general public. Or do you think he's being used by special interest groups? Well, it happens, but good things do occur from it. A lot of public works projects are funded by special interest groups, and in order to stay in business they have to deal with people in high places.

you think that im making this thread because im not one of the elite, yea well i would have to be one of a few hundred select people out of billions to be one. you think that they know better because they have what they have and should be ruling us, why dont you move to a dictator ship if you want to be ruled, the constituion was made inorder to protect peoples liberties and freedoms from the government, it is a safeguard against the governemt which has been abused in modern times.
everything you have said in its entirety just shows how foolish you are.

They do know better because they obviously know how to get what they want and how to keep it. If we had more fellows like Carnegie and Rockefeller we'd be prospering. Unfortunately, bleeding-heart liberals and hardcore socialists keep any future Carnegies from getting a foothold anywhere. A dictatorship is different from what I'm proposing. A dictatorship is one person with too much power. I'm all for a government of many individuals who have both power and a system of checks and balances. Hell, the United Nations is basically what our world would be like if everyone fucking cooperated, unlike Iran, Pakistan, Palestine, North Korea, and so on. Plus, as a citizen of the United States I am ruled already. It's just run differently than other nations, such as the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Iraq, India, Brazil, yadda yadda yadda. You can't escape control from a higher, legal power. Actually, the Constitution is about how the government should work. The Bill of Rights protects liberties and freedoms. No, they are not the same thing. The Bill of Rights was originally tacked onto the Constitution to appease the Anti-Federalists. Obama's administration isn't abusing their power, nor is the legislative branch. An abuse of power would be forcibly removing all Republican members of the House or Senate, for example. Instead, they pass laws, bills, and decide new courses of action. Yeah, sure sounds like an abuse of power (except it's following the rules and guidelines set in the Constitution... Oh, wait).
Lolol, u mad?
