Re: READ THIS BEFORE YOU FLAME US!

The cost per American house hold for invading IRAQ alone is $2,427.

So for a mere $2427, our family contributed to the liberation of MILLIONS of foreigners ruled by an evil dictator who killed his own people? Friend, I'd pay TWICE that. As a Christian, I consider it money well-spent! America IS a Christian country, friend.

$714,087,367,084

Let's divide that number by $2427, then by YOUR logic we have about 294,226,356 households.

Hey, wait a second: that's almost as many households as there are people in the United States! That's impossible, because then even little children and the elderly would be running their own household and paying taxes.

So your calculation is flawed. But hey, it's not GEOGRAPHY, so who cares, right? You didn't think a Christian would bother to check facts, RIGHT? Look who's the fool now

Adolf Hilter did not personal kill any Jews, so he should exempt also? Osama Bin Laden did not kill anyone in 9/11 either, should he be let free?

Of course not. What do Adolph Hitler, Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein have in common? In all cases, AMERICANS fought them and defeated them.

Your logic is extremely flawed here.

No, your strawman argument is. All I said is that MY geography skills (or lack thereof) have no value for the U.S. military. They will not win or lose a war based on what I can point on a map.

If you want to hold me personally responsible for the liberation of millions of people around the world -- even those who hate us -- then please do so!

Being able to point out a map of Iraq does not help the military at all; it helps YOU know where your money is going.

So what's your point? The U.S. military needs my MONEY, not my GEOGRAPHY skills. I am involved with a forum that is run by U.S. soldiers who are actually in Iraq as we speak. So I know a LOT more about where my money is going and to whom it is going than you do!

It's also still unclear why geography skills are essential to measure intelligence. This does not appear on ANY IQ test that I've ever seen. You keep avoiding the point.

I have never made reference to Americans to being stupid at all.

I quote: "Because people are generally stupid. Heres some more fun 'facts' about Americans"

I believe in God, just not this extreme interpretation of Him.

Then please tell us what specifically is not supported by the Bible? We will gladly change any view that you can demonstrate to be Scripturally incorrect. An extremist will never change his views, regardless of evidence. True Christians will immediately change their views if presented to evidence.

By that measure, you are the extremist here, because you keep insisting on geography skills, while at the same time claiming there are almost 300 million households in the U.S. Copy/pasting texts from other sites without understanding what it's about doesn't work so well, now does it?

These videos arent evidence at all, they are the general perception the world has of America. Oh wait, don't like the prejudice? The irony....

So basically, you found anti-American videos on:

• a site that is hosted in America
• using a browser funded by and developed by Americans
• using an operating system developed by Americans
• on an internet developed by America
• a site that is owned and operated by an American company, which in turn is co-founded by:
• Sergey Brin, whose family ESCAPED to America to be FREE and...
• ... who is now among the RICHEST people in the world because of the opportunities in America

How about you go look for anti-American videos on a site that's NOT American It's rather pathetic that you use AMERICAN websites based on the AMERICAN internet to make the point that America is somehow not the best country in the world. He he he.

If you don't like America, then stay in your europistan!

My guess is that you even wear American clothes and watch American movies.

This is an extremely foolish thing to say, and I would consider the sin of pride. I could literally write 10 pages of things America is NOT superior in, in point form.

You seem to obsess a lot on America. Why not just admit you're jealous that your own country is such a crap place and you want to emigrate to America and become an American too?

The USA shouldn't be too hard to point out on the map. It's the place where the grass IS greener

No, and again, I am not flaming Americans. I am making the point that you cannot blindly follow your leader around like sheep.

Wait a second. So you're not flaming us, you're just calling us ignorant retards who follow our leaders like sheep. I call that flaming.

Additionally, I have never talked to you before, so if you're calling me an ignoramus who blindly follows my (political) leader like sheep, then you are indeed prejudiced.

This is the ONLY thread I have mentioned geography. My initial post was refuted by you, and so I provided further argument.

So you do not deny that you keep hammering on geography? That's dancing around the issue in the hope that I'll be distracted by your flirtatious dance to forget that you believe that geography replaces IQ tests.

And again: I have NEVER seen geography mentioned on ANY IQ test. Please point out ANY reputable IQ test where geography is mentioned even a single time or withdraw your original statement.

Re: READ THIS BEFORE YOU FLAME US!

Yap, yap, yap, yap

I wish we could do one of these hit pieces on Europeans or Aussies.

Ha, 99% of Australians could not identify New Hampshire on a map! 98% of them could not tell us the capital of Wyoming. An astounding 85% of them could not even find Colorado on a map.

It is your logic which is flawed here. Although the people you mention here let other people get dirty hands, they are responsible. Your line of reasoning would be that each and every German was responsible instead of only those who where actually responsible. There is a difference but your incapability of understanding logic might make it hard for you to understand that.

Romans 1:21 "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened." Matthew 5: 22 "But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire." Psalm 14:1 "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good."

Re: READ THIS BEFORE YOU FLAME US!

So which is it, billions or trillions? Why not just say "gazillion" if you don't know the number?

The cost per American house hold for invading IRAQ alone is $2,427. The TOTAL is $714,087,367,084 (714 BILLION, over 1 trillion if you include foreign aid).

Secondly: I did not personally invade any foreign country, so I personally don't need to know where said country is. Exactly how would it help the U.S. military if I'm a geography expert?

Almost: it's not essential AT ALL, especially when you use it as a measure of intelligence. You're using geographical knowledge to replace an IQ test. That just shows that you yourself aren't intelligent or intellectually honest.

I have never made reference to Americans to being stupid at all. I have made reference to the fact you cannot argue that you are in a righteous war when (as shown above) Americans will blindly follow there leader into any war.

Aha, so you accept youtube videos as evidence? If I give you links to compelling youtube videos about God, will you accept those? Oh wait, then you'll yell "that doesn't count!"

I believe in God, just not this extreme interpretation of him. These videos arent evidence at all, they are the general perception the world has of America. Oh wait, don't like the prejudice? The irony....

And again, you focus exclusively on geographical knowledge. This is because that's the only thing you can hold against Americans who are superior in every other way.

This is an extremely foolish thing to say, and I would consider the sin of pride. I could literally write 10 pages of things America is NOT superior in, in point form.

Is geography your fetish or something? Do you have anything else to flame Americans about than geography?

No, and again, I am not flaming Americans. I am making the point that you cannot blindly follow your leader around like sheep.

Can you make even a single post where you don't talk about geography? Sheesh. You're a geography maniac.

Re: READ THIS BEFORE YOU FLAME US!

If you can spend millions, edit Billions, wait edit again TRILLIONS of tax dollars...

I agree geography is not ESSENTIAL, ...

Almost: it's not essential AT ALL, especially when you use it as a measure of intelligence. You're using geographical knowledge to replace an IQ test. That just shows that you yourself aren't intelligent or intellectually honest.

but if you know so little about a country, you should not be trying to blow it up.

I suspect that I know a lot less about Iraq than the CIA, NSA and FBI does. That's why the concept of "classified information" exists.

Also, this is why I believe it is important

Aha, so you accept youtube videos as evidence? If I give you links to compelling youtube videos about God, will you accept those? Oh wait, then you'll yell "that doesn't count!"

And yes watch the whole thing 'who should we bomb next', 'north korea' - points to indonesia

And again, you focus exclusively on geographical knowledge. This is because that's the only thing you can hold against Americans who are superior in every other way.
