along the lines of the war machine, I think some may find interesting, this:
http://www.archive.org/details/ThePowerOfNightmares
a BBC television documentary (Adam Curtis, released 2004) concerning the history of the cluster f### that is our world today.

3 episodes, hence the reason there are three streams ;)

and please note, as put best by one of the reviewers.
From: archive.org reviewer bruce227
About 35 writers gave it 4/5 stars, six gave it 1 star, and very few went down the middle.

Yep, it polarizes.
download. watch. laugh. roll eyes. snicker. sigh. think. cry. (not necessarily in that order, and of course your reactions may vary)

It's weird that so many foreign people really believe that America should give a crap what they think of us. That's how children think.



Its more about being good neighbours, and being civilised.
its generally children who try to get away with whatever they can, without a thought for wider consequences.

Yes, America is so bad to the world. We are so evil. Poor innocent Saddam Hussein. :(

It's ok, your country doesn't have to bother doing anything to keep the peace in the world. You guys just sit around and whine and do nothing. Someone else will take care of your problems for you, right? Haha, "civilised".

Oh, Stankleberry, the all knowing.....WRONG
As a UK citizen, unfortunately, we're involved in the illegal occupation of Iraq also.

Sadam deserved what he got, but that war should not have been fought without the full backing of the United Nations. And the lack of proper planning, and understanding of the middle east by those planners has opened the backdoor into Iraq for the very terrorists Bush and yourself quiake in fear at.

Surely even you know, that since the defeat of the Ba'athist regime, islamic fundamentalism has not only been given free reign there, but its become a breeding ground for anti-western forces.

..... waits for Stankleberrys Team Americaesque response.

No, look in the guidelines. It's acceptable to call people "troll" or "jerk" or a few other specific words and it doesn't count as a personal attack. We already went through this today.

You are trolling... don't know why, but it seems that you are and have been since you started posting on these boards.

from Wikipedia (I know, not the best sourse in the world, but we're not talking about rocket science, only trollery):
From: someone
The main motive for a user trolling is to disrupt the community in some way. Inflammatory, sarcastic, disruptive or humorous content is posted, meant to draw other users into engaging the troll in a fruitless confrontation. The greater the reaction from the community the more likely the user is to troll again, as the person develops beliefs that certain actions achieve his/her goal to cause chaos.


Seems that sums you up pretty well. This is my own personal opinion, and it appears many share my opinion... all on their own. I'm pretty sure I won't have to convince anyone... You do a fine job of that all on your own.

Calling someone a "jerk" is a personal attack; calling them idiots - attack. I'm sure you get the idea, I hope.

Ah, at least you're from a responsible nation. There's hope for you.

Yea, the UN wouldn't take part in dealing with Saddam because a few countries on the UNSC were making a lot of secret oil deals with Saddam. Countries like France and Russia relied on those special deals because they are socialist and corrupt. That's why France announced that they would veto any resolution to deal with Saddam. Which is why the adults of the world decided to deal with the problem themselves, without the basically worthless help of the UN.

The backdoor into Iraq for the terrorists was opened on purpose. Before the war, one of the reasons for invading Iraq was to draw the terrorists in Iraq and the surrounding countries into fighting us there instead of in the US and Europe etc. It has worked quite well, I think.

Most of the people in Iraq are very happy that the adults of the world finally released them from the sick dictatorship that ruined their lives for so many years. The only people in Iraq that hate the US are the Sunnis, who are just upset that they don't get to rule over the Kurds and Shiites and use poison gas on them anymore. Awww, poor Sunnis.

The more important thing being bred in Iraq right now is democracy. But you think they don't deserve that because France and Russia's special secret oil deals were more important, right? Very "civilised".

No, I'm not trolling. I am responding to silly posts with my own opinions. I'm not posting to disruspt anything, I am trying to help people.

Maybe I'm disrupting some ideas that a lot of people here have. Stupid ideas should be disrupted.

We already went over what words we're allowed to use here. "fraud, liar, cheater, griefer, troller, jerk, scam artist". Those apparently don't count as personal attacks for some reason. If they do count as a personal attack, then you're breaking the rules by calling me a troll.

You really make my head hurt..... Either you are not a good troll or you are just blinded by your own beliefs without bothering to check sources, then you go on personal attacks... The personal attacks are what lead me to believe you are a troll.

I've used the AR button in the other thread as well as this one. While it's currently limited to low-grade sophomoric trolling, I think it's a good thing to make Jeska aware of this behavior sooner rather than later.

Well I must say that this surprises me. If it is true though, it explains the recent announcement of Iraq troop reduction.

I check sources all day long. I didn't know about how the personal attacks rules work around here. Apparently there are certain personal attack words, such as "troll", which may or may not be acceptable. It's not really clear. But I have no problem following any rules that I can understand. Someone else said that the acceptable personal attacks were :"fraud, liar, cheater, griefer, troller, jerk, scam artist", from the Guidelines link at the top of the forum.

Hahaha, I am telling teacher!!!

If I get another warning, this time I would really like to have the rule that I broke and the post(s) where I did it pointed out to me, so I can understand them. Personal attacks are bad, but calling someone a "troll" isn't a personal attack. I would also like to know about the 7 non-personal attacky dirty words: "fraud, liar, cheater, griefer, troller, jerk, scam artist". I don't get it.

If you'd like to point out any of the posts where I've "trolled", please lay it on me and explain the trolliness. Thanks.
