I know you and Cap don't like the guy but grow the fuck up.

It's pretty commonly known that the top 3-5% control most of the wealth, so the offspring of those in that percentile would have everything taken care of to keep them out of the military by their families that want them to take over the "family business", or at the least do something with a far lower mortality rate than the military...The post was keying off of the part of the op's post in which he refereed to entering another pointless war, i was just implicating the fallout of perpetual war...

Like any other place that the American army occupies right, there must be oil in Libya.

and now, these "Rebels" cant even win- even with our air power and shit.... so its like, unless we go all-in and basically win it for the rebels (who are definately not like the people in egypt, definately not well meaning semi well off students etc... but crazy tribespeople and islamic radicals with links to al qaida)... so unless we fight on the side of these islamic radical dudes, then we leave a pissed off mad man in charge of this country....

or , we go full in, with ground troops and shit, to another fucking war...but one that literally couldnt fucking matter even in the slightest- the 5% of the worlds oil libya pumps was going mostly to china.... wtf does this shit matter to us at all? and yet, now we have the choice to either own the whole conflict and "hope" that these rebels dont totally turn out to be our enemies in disguise, or to let the rebels get belatedly slaughtered after pissing off the dude who ultimately will come out on top and then take revenge on us.

man this was reallly fucking smart obama.

i love how fucking idiot conservatives are up in arms about a few planes being sent to libya, meanwhile we are still engaged in two illegal decades long wars started by a republican president.

fuck your double standard.

oh right, theres no oil in libya and no way for us to exploit the local people. better forget about all that stuff about spreading democracy and freedom. you know, the VERY REASONS YOUR FUCKING IDIOT PRESIDENT BUSH WENT INTO THOSE TWO ILLEGAL WARS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

fuck some people suck.

Snowmayne · 04-01-2011, 02:07 PM

there is oil in libya and our friends want it

Germany won't send forces to Libya, foreign minister declares | World news | guardian.co.uk

why is it that someone always calls these things but you never hear about that point of view till after the shit hits the fan?

Snowmayne · 04-02-2011, 04:15 AM

I'm assuming most of us heard/read the opposing views weeks ago :/

^ If you like spin jobs. What a load.

Ego Tripping · 04-04-2011, 08:14 PM

TBH my friends, I'm not sure what is 'spin' and what is not anymore. Everything is spin, just depends on what direction you go.

Note: This comment is un-related to the article, I'm sure its as spun as a spiderweb.

I think I'm going to go watch flowers opening in time lapse now.

Have you seen "Chronos"? Bad ass time lapse film by the same guy who did "Koyaanisqatsi".

BTW, I know it's off topic, but what Ego was talking about seemed to be the most rational use of one's time described in this thread.

Ego Tripping · 04-04-2011, 09:12 PM

Chronos was AWESOME if it wasn't for the synthed out moog music...would love to find a good album to synch it to, though. In the meantime, Baraka still owns.
