This thread has gone from talking about a disaster to politics. What a disaster! Oh it looks like we have come full circle.

[gamerman01]

OK, I didn’t think it through and it was a stupid post.

Thanks for pointing that out - it’s removed now.

You could stand to learn about something called “tact”, Starke.  Unless, of course, you enjoy difficult relations with people.

You can’t talk much about a disaster in Haiti without getting political, really.
It would be like talking about the human condition without talking about God.  Oh wait, a lot of people do that.

There, I added “religion” into it too, for good measure.

[Starke Von Oben]

Whatever.

[Edited for being a bait - GG].

You don’t have a crystal ball either, so how do you know?

How do I know? Because there’s no historical evidence to suggest anything that you’ve proposed could have happened, thus your little theory amounts to nothing more than mere uneducated guesswork. There is no historical trend to suggest that the United States today would be a Third World country if it had not of won it’s war of independence.

I don’t need a crystal ball to see that, there’s enough sources and EVIDENCE to counteract such a farcical take on the course of history.

Under your [Edited for being a bait - GG] theory one may quite seriously suggest that Germany is currently planning to start World War III, and has been slowly building up it’s military strength since Unification after the collapse of the Berlin Wall, as revenge for the loss of WWII: HOW CAN YOU TELL ME THAT’S NOT TRUE? DO YOU HAVE A CRYSTAL BALL?

Like the other guys said, the US was plundered.  The Indians are gone.

There was no US in existence at the time, so the US couldn’t have possibly been plundered.

Guys this isn’t a political thread. Could we keep the politics out? Thanks…

You’re right, GG.

Sorry I got someone going - I’m out.  8-)

You apparently didn’t see this post, Starke???
I said, I didn’t really think it through, and it was a stupid post.  How often do you see someone admit that?

Why are you piling on?  Looks like you got edited twice in one post for baits!

I saw that post, but I don’t see what that has got to do with my reply afterwards.

It’s good to see that you admitted it was a stupid post, but I had already written my response by then.

With regards baits: I do not believe telling someone that an idea or thought process that is immature can seriously be considered ‘baiting’. People should take responsibility for what they say, and if they say or act immature or unsophisticated then they should be called up on it and held to account.

[Guerrilla Guy]

You’re opinion is none the less a bait. The rules state it as such. The point in a debate is to have natural discourse and to prove the points of another person wrong, not attack their character. And furthermore, this isn’t a political forum.

Good thing he didn’t say anything bad about the french colonial influence on Haiti.

Whew. Close call.

I don’t know, but I had some beef bourguignon yesterday and it was the BOMB.

And then for lunch #2 I had lamb & beef shwarma. Damn am I cultured!

There was no US in existence at the time, so the US couldn’t have possibly been plundered.

This was obviously a comment about geography, not political bodies.

Hmmm.  OK.

Oh, you mean like using terminology like “steaming pile of horse sh*t”?  I’m sure most would agree that is both immature and unsophisticated.

Everything is just fine. just no politics.

Revised deaths now at 200,000. I think it’s worse than that Tidal wave that hit Asia.

@Starke:

But since you’ve already admitted that it was a stupid post we need not go on about this.

We finally agree.

Thanks for enlightening us with your superior intellect and charm.

I’m sorry, I shouldn’t leave it like that.  If you thought I said something stupid, and you wanted to point that out to make yourself look good, that’s your prerogative.

You really should be nicer to complete strangers though, stupid or not.

Stop resorting to effeminate self-pity ethics and victimhood: if we agreed to drop this then do so, but quit with the snide quips and overzealous requirement to have the last word.

Back on topic. Some posts removed. And as usual do not post about this post.

[Guest]

I am glad our country is helping them over there. Just don’t bring them here.

[Imperious Leader]

They already made it clear that the Haitians already here can stay 18 more months on their visa. Talk is they may be allowed to come here, but at a minimum, the 40K Americans living there will probable come back and they may allow more to follow. Florida will get some new visitors.
