Hey Liam, buddy, have you ever thought about the innocent people being killed by the americans? the children, the babies? so basicly, SCREW YOU!! there are more people in the world than just americans. killing terrorists is just going to cause more people to hate the USA and become terrorists, so maybe you should take a minute to think before you say yay war. Sept 11 just was the tiniest glimpse of what the rest of the world goes through on a daily basis and dont forget it. maybe you'd feel a little different if the war was happening here. makes you think twice before tearing somone's country apart, eh?

I would like to recite a poem . . .

we can fight the war with medications,
we can fight the war with education,
we can fight the war with vaccinations,
or just bomb them all.

I love you.

I'm not even kidding. Marry me.

I'd translate that into english but i'm not great at latin.

uh . . . Dulce = sweet, et = and, decorum = beauty, est = is, pro = before, patria = country, mori = custom

so in all that means . . . =?

little help . . .

no I'm not desperate, but who wouldn't want to marry a person that they don't know from a message board?

note the sarcasm. i would insert one of those annoying laughing emoctions(or whatever they're called) but its too much effort to not quick reply. just take nothing i say seriously and then everything works out.

I will say this about Raine. I thought it was only a matter of time before he started doing this. I think he is turning more an dmore like Bono every day. But to answer you question. When I go to a concert I really don't care for on going political agendas because there are too many people who can't think for themselves and will do something because XYC celebrity said to. While I don't have a problem with Raine making a political statement per say. When I see OLP in concert I want you to be the singer. If I see you in an interview, then yeah I don't care. Same with any celebrity. I am a huge BONO fan. always have been, but when I see U2 in concert I want to you sing. When I see an interview( liek the oprah one) I love BONO the activist. I will say this though. I truly beleive that it was BONO who got BUSH to put some money into AIDS efforts.

getting back to Raine here. I don't know what was said, but I guess he felt that he has some kind of influence to get people to think aobut the things going on in the world today. Me personally I don't want a war, because I know we won't get SADDAM and only the Iraqi people will suffer. SADDAM will disappear. They still haven't found Bin Ladden. It is very sad the way the world has become now. I never thought I live to see a WAR. The more things change the more they stay the same.
