Do you know where Iowa is? I figured not, and if you do, no we don't grow potatoes. It is somewhere in the middle of the US, I'll let you figure it out from there.

I'm a farm boy attending college working on a history degree with an eye (that was recently opened with this Iraq thing) on the scene of global politics and information technology. I am getting involved in a program to graduate college as an officer in the US Army as I hope to participate in some of the cleanup that will go on in the upcoming years.

I am indiffent on the communist/socialist/capitalist issue as I feel that each one could be effective if it weren't for corruption and beaurocracy. One thing that I do feel should be offered is a variety of systems offered worldwide. I think I'll stick with my American capitalism for now... it works well enough for me.

so... hi or something

Welcome aboard!

It's always good to see people who know where they stand on different issues.

Good to have you aboard Ahab. Welcome to politicsforum. How'd you find the site?

Cheers,

[ahab]

How'd you find the site?

I was looking to buy a model of a T-10 tank, I knew they were rare so I hopped on Google, searched for T-10 and found a page about it on Soviet Empire, and saw something like "This page has moved" and I clicked on it expecting an updated database on tanks to be there, but I was also interested in the forum. So here we are!

[sokath]

Sorry to mislead you about the tanks. There may in fact be some information on them on SovietEmpire. You'd be able to find it somewhere in the sidebar.

Cheers,

S./

LOL...another American capitalist pig! I suppose we will clash in our political views time and again!

allright... just to get some people pissed I'll play the role of an ignorant american!

McCarthy forever! Patton was right... shoulda wiped the soviets out when we had the chance! All commies smell!

For your entertainment:

• I am not that great at arguing but try to stay well informed.
• I am pro-action against Iraq (in that the world needs unfucked sorta way, most people I socialize with are anti-war)
• I am anti-bush (could've justified war better, could've presented diplomacy better, could've done a LOT of other things, and passed some stupid laws)
• I am joining the military (to try and improve the US's image, I don't want some idiot over there representing me badly, if anyone is going to represent me badly i better be doing it damnit)
• I have a large distrust of the US media
• I like bulleted lists.
• I have a twisted sence of humor that gets me in trouble

In short: I'd rather be living in Britain

[PcKiller]

I don't play the role of an ignorant american! I am proud of my country, and what it is doing. Cleaning up the countries that fund these animals.

I also believe that Patton was right too. He shoulda wiped the soviets out when we had the chance! But since they are no longer a super power, it is a moot point now.

LOL...I may have missinterpreted you! You seem to have some good qualities(except for the whole wipe out the soviets thing)

I dont understand what you, PcKiller, and many others have against communism and the Soviets! And when did anyone ever have a chance at wiping out the soviets?!

[Comrade Koatna]

[sokath edit: so, that was not in the least bit necessary, or appropriate, you wanna think twice next time before posting unconstructive crap like that? thanks]

[Proctor]

Ahab, welcome, it sounds like you're going to play a good role in the community. We could do with a few more moderates.

Koatna, name calling wont help you win debates.

Pckiller, my country is doing fine without you having to clean us up. And saying "Lol, we should've genocided some commies and stuph, zorz" wont win you any debates either.

[CasX]

McCarthy forever!

Ok, now that's just funny. Even TIME magazine, the most pro-american magazine I can find says he's "reviled" and calls him a "fraudulent demagogue". It also says he cost 10,000 americans their jobs and "some shattered innocents their lives". Nice guy.

[Sweeper]

And I thought PcKiller was as hot American as it gets...
seems like someone proved me wrong, Well we might clash together in a rather hard way from time to time.
Anyways welcome aboard.

[ahab]

McCarthy forever!

Ok, now that's just funny.

Yay! someone appreciates my sence of humor! (I have NEVER met an american that liked McCarthy)

And I thought PcKiller was as hot American as it gets...

Yeah, I figured I would get some of you riled up for fun, but it didn't work as well as I thought it would

Just be prepared if you see a post by Tovarish Spetsnaz... He is a real hard nut to discuss with... He seems to have almost everything in order...

[ahab]

Just be prepared if you see a post by Tovarish Spetsnaz.

I've read a some of his posts and he seems well informed. I like people that are well informed. I like them better if they agree with me though
