Actually no, we have either bent them or broken them with a UN mandate. We have never broken a UN Resolution. We have never done what the real criminals have done. And don't be a fucking dumb ass and say well North Korea and China see us as the criminals. Are you that fucking stupid? If we are the criminals go live in North Korea or China then come back and tell me who the fuck the real criminals are. You people are fucking retarded.

On the contrary, people without jobs don't have the time or money to travel to New York to protest. To suggest that liberals don't have jobs just makes you look ignorant and foolish. Let's see...you are going to protest a bunch of people who know you are there just to counter them, and you will be severely outnumbered. Gee, that sounds smart. I hope you don't get injured, because it looks like these "counterprotesters" are asking for trouble. Oh, and Nodbugger, shut up. Just shut up.

None of you fuckers ever back up any of your statements. BTW, how is he a war monger? He defended the US from the Taliban and he defeated an evil Dictator. How is that war mongering? You mean Clinton wasn't a war monger? He did attack a few countries in his presidency. Somalia, Iraq, Bosnia/Serbia, random South American countries and some other African countries. Why are you not sitting here calling him a war monger? Why are you not protesting Saddam? Who is responsible for over a million deaths during the Iran-Iraq war. What about the thousands he killed when he invaded Kuwait? Or the hundreds of thousands he killed inside his country. Or the other wars since the Gulf War? http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/warstatx.htm What about the on-going genocides in Rwanda and Sudan? Which the UN refuses to do nothing about. What about the wars the past 50 years? The UN never did anything about those. The only one people protested in Mass was Vietnam and this current war. Why are you not bitching about all these other wars? What about the wars that are going on in other places? Why do you fucking care so much the United States is taking out an evil dictator. Why does that piss you have so much?

Not to mention the millions of dollars in taxes wasted and the police/fire/ambulance personnel diverted to the area. You can also put in there they pissed off a lot of New Yorkers. Taking all those resources away from a city like New York is a terrorist attack in itself.

I hope you only talk shit like this on forums, because if you keep this up in the real world you're going to get beat the fuck up. My father, born in Ohio, went to Iran (Peace Corps) and spent almost a decade there. So he has had a good taste of both cultures. And guess what, motherfucker? He thinks Bush is a fuckwad too. You, on the other hand, claim to know the differences and be so aware of what is going on in other countries, but you've never been to places like Iran, have you? Nodbugger As a western citizen you must be a fucking idiot to compare Bush to the leaders of Iran and then say Bush is a war criminal. I never compared Bush to the leaders of Iran. YOU DID. Bush is a war criminal REGARDLESS of other leaders and what they have done. You got that? It does not matter what other leaders have done. Bush being a war criminal is NOT dependant on other leaders. ARE WE CLEAR? And since you so eloquently said that only a "fucking idiot" would compare Bush to leaders of Iran, guess what that makes you? Nodbugger hopefully you will get caught in Iran when we bomb it. HOPEFULLY, I will run into you one day and beat your head in with a tire-iron. You AREN'T smart. You AREN'T informed. You AREN'T mature. And you make people who hold even remotely similar views of yours look like idiots. Shut the fuck up.

You can interpret it how ever you want, but at the end of the day when the people in charge of enforcing the laws don't say anything, it is OK. I don't understand where you're getting off saying that I'm "interpreting" the law. The documents speak for themselves. You just lack the intellect to actually understand what is written (provided you actually READ the information, something you're not very well known for). Quote: And don't give me that crap about if they don't say anything that doesn't mean it is legal. OF COURSE IT MEANS IT IS LEGAL! I cop doesn't pull you over to tell you that you are abiding the law. They only tell you when you are breaking it. Stop being an idiot. No intelligent person on this earth can conclude that "an act is only illegal if you're caught". The law says you may not speed. If you speed, you are violating the law, therefore, doing an illegal act. If you are fortunate enough not to be caught, or are fortunate enough not to suffer the appropriate consequences of violating the law, that does not negate the illegality of the act. It simply means you got lucky. Nodbugger, listen to me very closely: If you play by your logic, and you earnestly believe that an act is only illegal if you are caught, do you have any fucking clue what you're saying? You are giving all people, EVERYWHERE an incentive to do illegal acts. Lets all go and rob banks! If we can get away without being caught, it doesn't matter that we a) tresspassed, b) stole property, or c) possibly threatened people with a deadly weapon. Haha, you know what else yo…

Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the Members to submit such matters to settlement under the present Charter; but this principle shall not prejudice the application of enforcement measures under Chapter Vll." Additionally, upon agreeing to that Charter, Member States do forfiet some international "authority" as nicely displayed by the rest of Article 2. Are your international "liberties" legally limited by the Charter? Yup, definately. If you don't like it, leave. Your national soveriegnty is untouched unless passed in a Resolution under C…

description: Even if the UN would have a certain say over what a member state can and cannot do, all member states voluntarily agreed to join, and all member states can step out any moment they want, I'm pretty sure. Therefore they have the power to take all matters back into their own hands any moment they want and are therefore souvereign.

description: Wh3333333 for off topic. Umm ... yay for protesters excersizing their constitutional right to free speech. Let's all hope there's no violence. Now, on to why nodbugger is buggered: Nodbugger No one broke any international laws. Well Saddam broke 14 security resolutions and countless laws, but you don't care about going after the real criminals. ... We have never broken a UN Resolution Now, despite the fact that java has posted MULTIPLE TIMES the resolution that the United States broke, and that everyone else (crimservative included) agrees that we did, you still refuse to acknowledge it because ... why? Are you just to stupid to think? Nodbugger As I said, go live in Iran, Libya, pre-war Iraq, North Korea, China, or Cuba then come back and tell me who the criminals are. Now, after he posts this challenge, and is answered according to it, what does he say? Nodbugger Well she is an Iranian, what do you expect her to say? She is brainwashed and she obviously brainwashed you. As a western citizen you must be a fucking idiot to compare Bush to the leaders of Iran and then say Bush is a war criminal. you have been brainwashed and hopefully you will get caught in Iran when we bomb it. The fuck? He says "go see how it is." Once they see how it is, and still don't agree with him, he says "She is brainwashed." Can this guy even be taken seriously? What happens when another person answers his challenge? Nodbugger Or are you going to the nice China: Tourists edition? China is just like Jamaica. You have fun in the sun Jamaica and stabbing Jamaica. Interpretation: even though you were there, you still didn't see the truth cause you disagree with me. At this point, I'm forced to conclude that you lose. You offer a challenge, it is met, and you are beaten. Rather than accepting your defeat with honor, you instead scream "NO ITS NOT RITE CUZ I NO HOW IT IS EVEN THO I NEVER BEN THEER!!" Nodbugger For a protest like that a permit is required. And there were no permits given out for t…

description: My group is peacefully protesting the protesters. As far as I'm concerned, their right to free speech shouldn't allow them to march on the streets and fuck up traffic. When the third presidential debate is held here in Phoenix, AZ, there is a designated "free speech area" at a nearby park that has been reserved for protesting, instead of blocking city streets. The fact that counter-protesters are in danger of being physically attacked just shows how psychopathic some libs can be. I've seen them on video... 25% of them are only protesting to get laid by some hot protester chick, 25% of them don't know what they're protesting, 49% can't back up their protests and answer questions with "FUCK YOU" and the like, and the other 1% will answer you with off-the wall answers about conspiracies with aliens from Mars.

description: What the fuck? My opinion on counter-protesting: When you do this, you're obviously seaking for trouble. Blame the freaking police, they are the ones who are blocking the roads, oh and not to mention that New-York is "Liberal town". The way you re-act over protestants blocking the streets is like when the Russians protested their king. Oh, and by the way: you can pay someone to make him say whatever you want. You can counter-protest if you want, but don't do it in their face, do it somewhere else where you'll be sure that some of the trouble-makers won't be attacking you.

description: hydra1945 Javaxcx All of those Member States signed the Charter. They didn't have to, but they did anyway. If you'll notice, Iraq is, and was a Member State. So they're under those same laws as well. If you have any questions about the Charter and the laws in it that everyone said "OMG OK!!!111" to, then take a read: http://www.un.org/aboutun/charter/ That still doesn't change the fact that the UN strips every one of its member states of their sovereignty. When a state joins the UN, it is basically agreeing to give up its sovereignty and answer to the almighty United Nations. It is no longer a sovereign nation if it has to adhere to some "international law" that rules over that nation. No member state of the UN is sovereign, so the United States did not violate Iraq's sovereignty when it ousted Saddam's regime. The US did nothing illegal since the "international law" was meaningless to begin with. Meaningless or not, the law is the law. Therefor you have 3 choices. Put up with it, change it, or leave. America did not leave the UN, one choice gone. America did not change the law, second choice gone. Therefor America accepted the law as it is, and must abide by it. Regardless of how meaningless or rediculous it is.

I don't know where you are getting all of this from...sounds pretty silly to me. Ever stop to think that they simply oppose the views and policies of the Bush administration and want to make Bush feel unwelcome, while voicing their views? If these "counter-protesters" are protesting FOR Bush, than it would be less offensive. But you can't really protest FOR something (are you going to hold a sign that says "Good Job!"?), so the only other logical thing that you would be doing is directly protesting the protesters. And THAT is asking for trouble. I say if these counter-protesters are countered themselves with a good old fashioned ass-whomping, they will have had it coming.

description: Never was Iraq's severity taken away. They were always 'self governed' and never did the US take that away from them. We simply changed their leader. Which is no way violating that. Iraq is still Iraq and it will now be run by the Iraqi people. We in no way took away their sovereignty. I am not evil for not caring if an evil person died. I would not care if Saddam died or if Osama dies. I wouldn't have cared when Hitler died or when Stalin died. They were all evil people that made the world a worse place to live. There is no reason not to kill them. About the Iranian mother. If she lived there for twenty years, I'm assuming she was born there then yes she is brainwashed. Iran has a closed media and they brainwash people from the beginning. She has passed that on to you. Take some asshole out of the anti-bush protests in New York and set them down in Iran and they will never say the same things about the US as they were not so long ago. Same with China, Saddam's Iraq, North Korea, Cuba and the countless other shit holes that you fuck tards want to stay. ViperFud, you are the biggest retard ever. Yes, for a group that large you need a permit. It is a law go look it up. And no New Yorkers never said that. I can show you a video of them saying the complete opposite. They are all pissed at the protesters taking up tax money and all their security forces. Plus all the streets they are taking up. No I never said it is legal f you don't get caught. No where ever have I said that. You analogy doesn't work dumb ass. Why the fuck would you be pressing charges if I was the one killed? It doesn't work to begin with because it isn't even a similar situation. You are just pulling shit out of your ass. Bush never said we are returning Sovereignty to Iraq. He said something that your little mind may have turned into that. Because all of you are so fucking stupid you cannot even understand what someone says, the funny part is you all call him an idiot yes you cannot understand what h…

They were all evil people that made the world a worse place to live. There is no reason not to kill them. That's good and all.... Except you've essentially told us something completely different from what you said on IRC last night. You said you would be glad to kill any one of those "evil dictators" as you call them. And, as Javaxcx and I proved to you last night, using your own logic, this means that you are an evil person and any one of us could kill you and not break the law if we didn't get caught. Moving on... My God can you only argue in fucking circles? Quote: No I never said it is legal f you don't get caught. No where ever have I said that. Javaxcx Nodbugger I never said it isn't illegal if you get caught. I didn't say you DID. You've implied it every time you talk about the lack of illegality dispite the overwhelming evidence stating otherwise. Got that now?
