Re: READ THIS BEFORE YOU FLAME US!

If you can spend millions, edit Billions, wait edit again TRILLIONS of tax dollars on bombing and invading a country, you should AT least have the knowledge of knowing where it is. I agree geography is not ESSENTIAL, but if you know so little about a country, you should not be trying to blow it up.

Also, this is why I believe it is important

I'm not spending trillions of dollars on anything.

I'm sure the people who are spending the money know exactly where Iran is.

Did you view my video link above? And yes, the money comes from YOUR pockets. they know where it is, but the people giving it to them dont

No. I prefer the facts in the Holy Bible over the fiction in your movie.

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

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?

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.

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

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!

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?

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? Your logic is extremely flawed here. 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.

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.

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

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."

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.

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.

Haha, pay for a plane ticket friend and I would let you hit me. Myself and all the people I know can identify America on a map, as well as every country Australia is involved in a war in. SNAP.

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

My error, I meant individuals. You have advertly strengthened my arguement. $2427 per individual to 'liberate' (and by this you also mean killing innocents im sure) a nation.

who's the fool now

Glad you said that

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.

So, again by this logic, there are no evil Americans right? Charles Manson had people do his dirty work also... Is he a good soul too?

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.

No you are missing the point completely. I really cant be bothered trying to reiterate it for you...again.

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!

Actually you dont. I was also in Iraq during mid 2006 - early 07, I was a soildier in the RAinf. I wont delve to much on this because obviously you wont believe me.

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.

It has nothing to do with intelligence. You do realise the person with the best IQ doesnt run the country right?

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

I didnt say Americans are generally stupid.

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

Actually, my browser was predominantly engineered by a german unix student, on an operating system that is open source, by a site of a man who is RICH and commiting the sin of GREED

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

Nope. My clothes are entirely made in China and Australia. And if you bother to check, I bet that your clothes are made in china like the majority of your household goods.

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?

Is this why there is a huge influx of US immigrants to Australia, but not vice - versa?

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

Nope, not for Aussies it isnt, but apparently even Americans find it difficult

But anyways, not point me debaing with you about this, you clearly cannot see the point.

How can a racist/sexist pig of a man call himself a man of God. You have far too much anger. Touched by a priest as a boy?

Also, I doubt you could either, given that 2/3 of Americans cant (statistically proven).

Hahaha

I would kick your teeth in with geography. I'm the kid who used to obsess over maps and globes as a child. I also used to be an international travel liaison for the privileged kids.

I highly doubt you could point out where Antigua is on a map without Google.

Doubt that very much so. Antigua is not an unknown by any stretch of the imagination considering it was a famous sailing port in the west indies during the 1500's for trading...

It is also a famous holiday destination. But hey, so long as you got to teach those children not to hang out with those 'filthy abos' (your words not mine, regarding natives), would have been a dandy time!
