RIP Saddam Hussein

Good news everyone, charges against Saddam have been dropped! (Pun unintended, I am sure)

No, you probably haven't; but you've put people in power who are quite happy to undergo process such as 'special rendition' . . . .

Nah, the only person I'll vote for is the one who doesn't let 3% of the nation control 97% of the nation and will nuke the ******* **** out of the many worthless places in the middle east when they deserve it.

[impression of MasterBlaster]We're a tolerant society and if you don't agree with me you can **** off.[/impression of MasterBlaster]

Sorry MB but I really wasn't agreeing with you - can't you see the problem with your position is that you are denying that which you defend - tolerance and the right of free speech? You can't argue that those things are what makes us better than Saddam and then tell people to get out of your country if they disagree.

But you didn't; and you're few $k's will make not one iota of difference in the huge ocean of space that makes up the US 'defence' budget.

No, It may not, but it is a start. If more people did the same instead of the same old "there's nothing I can do the government is too..... <insert pathetic excuse here>" sob story I hear day in and day out, It might make a difference. Unfortunatly, the mentally challenged majority let our governments turn us into goddamn cattle in exchange for pseudo-security. Ask the 3000 dead cattle that died in the WTC attacks how secure they were. I'm paying, quite a bit more than a few thousand BTW, these morons for protection and someone was actually able to fly a jetliner into the pentagon? The fooking pentagon? the "most secure building on the planet"? Where were all of those 50 million dollar jets we bought? They couldn't get one in the air in time to shoot down a big slow fighter that is about as agile as my grandmother? No maybe deferring my tax dollars isn't going to fix the f-ed up situation we're stuck in but at least I and others who still give a sheit can sleep at night.

I actually agree with quite a lot of this; you are correct - if everyone avoided tax and re-channeled the money into charities they support the govt. would certainly have to change their ways.
