Its friggin war!! Tell me how does a war go well? In a war people die! It’s a zero sum battle. One side gains power and the other side lose power. Power, territory and other things are paid for by human life. Until people understand that there will never be proper support levels for the war in Iraq. Until we destroy the enemy, we will not be safe as a nation. If we leave Iraq the terrorist (backed by Iran) will destabilize the region and people in the area will blame the US ultimately breeding more terrorist. You can not negotiate with these people. You must seek out and destroy them all.</description><link>http://foveal.blogspot.com/2006/10/metrics.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34503658.post-115977059504548084</guid><pubDate>Mon, 02 Oct 2006 06:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-10-02T00:08:25.493-07:00</atom:updated><title>band aid</title><description>&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;350&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/hGdY-VRnKvQ&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/hGdY-VRnKvQ&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;350&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;</description><link>http://foveal.blogspot.com/2006/10/band-aid.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34503658.post-115961555677126442</guid><pubDate>Sat, 30 Sep 2006 11:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-09-30T04:25:56.780-07:00</atom:updated><title>hot dogs!!</title><description>&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/rpeWATcAETE&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;350&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Makes me rethink my stance on the hot dog issue.</description><link>http://foveal.blogspot.com/2006/09/hot-dogs.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34503658.post-115942466737161045</guid><pubDate>Thu, 28 Sep 2006 06:24:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-09-30T03:07:25.203-07:00</atom:updated><title>hotter?</title><description>Ok, lets say the world gets warmer...&lt;br /&gt;They say the polar ice caps will melt and the water will rise.&lt;br /&gt;My questions are.

Well Just in case you never saw them; here are the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.britishbattles.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;pics&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is ironic how a religion that claims to be the same as Christianity can condone such violence.  I know you will probably say, “Well what about the Crusades?” The Crusades where attributed to the Catholic religion as a control measure.  And as a rule religion is only a control measure.  Now you are probably thinking, “Are you an atheist?”  No, I just define religion as the thoughtless following of mans interpretation of a faith.  Faith is the key here.  Faith is what a deity means to you or how you interpret its teachings.  Catholicism is nothing more than a religious country centralized in Vatican City.  Vatican City is the smallest country in the world.  The pope acts as a king, but instead of having direct rule over subjects he issues “orders” and influences leaders and people in many nations.  It works out to be a giant pyramid scheme.  In the end you get used like a two-dollar whore. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            Islam is a little different.  Islam had the crucial split after Mohammed died.  The trouble begins there and has yet to end.  Islam was spread by the sword.  And is one of the truest examples of a religion.  Basically, what mohammed said was, “Hey guys god {I used lowercase because an omnipotent God wouldn’t have done this.} just spoke to me while I was starving and probably hallucinating in a cave.  He said that he screwed up by choosing the Jews to spread his religion, and now he wants me to do it.  Only change is this time we will not have that hippie Jesus that thinks he is my son preaching that turn the other cheek camel-poo.  God’s new strategy is to conqueror countries and then if they do not accept our religion then we kill them.  god now feels that the direct approach is the way to go.  So who is with me?”&lt;br /&gt;That is the long and short of it.  The religion that was forged by violence will inevitably tear itself apart and the rest of the world with it.  It just does not make sense that the Muslims can be mad about anything.  Well I guess South Park discovered the reason behind Muslims anger in this short  &lt;A HREF=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1_d7LXfo6k&quot;target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;clip...  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/A&gt;</description><link>http://foveal.blogspot.com/2006/09/remember-when-they-got-mad.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34503658.post-115882050707198832</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 Sep 2006 06:23:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-09-22T14:13:06.986-07:00</atom:updated><title>who the heck is chavez?!?!?</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2211/3803/1600/hugo-chavez-02.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2211/3803/320/hugo-chavez-02.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,20451901-5001021,00.html&quot;&gt;The story&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope the article stays there. Chavez runs his mouth then Bolton serves his backward hispanic-tail. He gets the Douche bag stamp!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you dont like to read here is a video.&lt;br /&gt;Here is a breakdown...&lt;br /&gt;1) Chavez uses a free speech forum to convey his ideas; his subjects aren’t able to exercise free speech.&lt;br /&gt;2) Chavez calls Bush a dictator. Everyone knows Chavez is a dictator. Yet Chavez isn’t likened to Hitler and Bush is.&lt;br /&gt;3) He mentions Bush talked as if he owned the world, that’s merely an opinion and guess who owns Venezuela…the dictator Chavez!&lt;br /&gt;4) 3:00-3:10 Wonder how long it took him to think of the title “the devil’s recipe”?&lt;br /&gt;5) 3:30-3:50Hahaha… he calls Bush a world dictator and says, “…We [the UN] can not allow the world dictatorship[the US] to be consolidated” Does he realize that he is an actual dictator?????&lt;br /&gt;6) 3:57-4:30He mentions the “spread of democracy with guns and bombs” “to impose a democratic model, but that’s their [the US] democratic model”. I guess he forgets his failed coup attempt in 1992 that was his democratic model spread with guns. The fact that he has the audacity to question our democracy is just sickening.&lt;br /&gt;7) 5:00-5:50 Then he starts calling people extremist on behalf of Bush. -.-&lt;br /&gt;8) At the end he calls Americans extremist and recaps that Venezuela be granted a temporary seat on the Security Council, and recommends that the UN be moved to Venezuela.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans just remember when he says that our president is a devil he is casting judgment on YOU. Whether you agree with his argument or not he is basically saying YOU are part of a world imperialist system and that YOU elected the devil to lead you. He is assuming the world belief that Americans are dumb, all Americans not just Republicans or Bush supporters. So if you like being called a moron then go ahead and keep praising this hypocrite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/n-c5PPIEziA&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;350&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ps...He is just one paranoid mofo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;350&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/vZ45e8w0AKs&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/vZ45e8w0AKs&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;350&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;</description><link>http://foveal.blogspot.com/2006/09/who-heck-is-chavez.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34503658.post-115879706267857332</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 Sep 2006 00:03:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-09-20T17:04:22.680-07:00</atom:updated><title>Alternative Energy</title><description>Could alternative fuels like E85 reduce governmental farming subsidies?</description><link>http://foveal.blogspot.com/2006/09/alternative-energy_20.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34503658.post-115863330108397837</guid><pubDate>Tue, 19 Sep 2006 02:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-09-18T19:35:01.090-07:00</atom:updated><title>had to be said</title><description>watch this ....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/OmBrkUyudI4&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;350&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hey islam fix ur crap then u can yell at people for saying its jacked up.</description><link>http://foveal.blogspot.com/2006/09/had-to-be-said.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34503658.post-115838544150059964</guid><pubDate>Sat, 16 Sep 2006 05:43:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-09-20T16:59:54.883-07:00</atom:updated><title>Opportunity</title><description>OPPORTUNITY - by: Edward Rowland Sill (1841-1887)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THIS I beheld, or dreamed it in a dream:--&lt;br /&gt;There spread a cloud of dust along a plain;&lt;br /&gt;And underneath the cloud, or in it, raged&lt;br /&gt;A furious battle, and men yelled, and swords&lt;br /&gt;Shocked upon swords and shields.
