You should consider changing your name to Richard. It would be funny in some small way to see your redneck trolling attributed to Richard Simmons (related?), and it would give people yet another reason to call you Dick.

What are you, 12 years old?

If you're going to participate, you need to come up with longer responses. Right now, you're just fishing for something at witch to lash out.

Just trying to relate on your own level, Dick.

isn't oil supposed to run out in the not too distant future?
Run out of what? I personally wish they'd find a viable alternative. $110 per week for gas (two vehicles) is too goddamn much money.

OIL, what did you think I was referring to ?
John Simmons / outlaw programmer wrote:

Means nothing unless you quantify that in terms of (1) Car Make/Model/Engine size in terms of Miles per Gallon (or Litres per Kilometer), (2) Price per Gallon (or price per Litre), and (3) your driving habits. But then, prices in USA are cheap compared to UK.

We *were* spending about $60/week for the same vehicles (even that was too much). How's that for quantification?

Expect to pay very much more stupidly expensive prices if "middle east into a glass parking lot" to quote John Simmons, happens.
If the middle east gets much worse, I think the price of oil is going to be the least of our worries. I suspect Israel will simply get tired of the whole thing, and then start lobbing nukes around.

<Being deliberately contentious> Reagon outspends Soviet Union on Military, almost causing USA bankruptcy giving rise to HUGE reductions in Federal spending elsewhere, USA citizens still paying price of that "investment".

So you want more of the same.

makes oil more expensive
Oil more expensive means higher prices at factory gate means higher prices cumsumers to pay which will result in hyper-inflation as workers will want more money to cover higher costs of living that will inevitably lead to a downward spiral giving an financial depression that costs people their livelihood which in turn increases crime ...

What's yours is yours, what's somebody elses is also yours. </Being deliberately contentious> Are these things really what you want ?

Yeah, but it DID end the cold war, by causing USSR bankruptcy.

The middle east is screwed up. Everybody knows that. Group A hates Groups B and C and vice versa, etc..., etc... It seems like everyone wants to prove how their side is less evil than the other side or show that their enemy is a hypocrite, bla bla bla. We all know that this is transparent propaganda and half of it is lies on both sides. The fact of the matter is that the middle east NEEDS some big fights like this to get all the nonsense out of their systems. Do you think the Americans hates Germany or Japan? No. Why? Because we got to duke it out a while back, shook hands and moved on. We didn't lob 10 bombs a year at civilians out of spite. Doing it like that gets nothing accomplished. A good butt-whipping is sometimes necessary to help you realign your perspective.

Plenty of American WW2 vets were angry at Japan for the rest of their lives. Further, I'm sure that France, Korea, and China maintained a grudge against their invaders for a long, long time. Even today, you can see anti-Japanese protests in China. http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/asiapcf/04/10/china.japan.protest/index.html[^]

Hey, the only thing you can do is find a good seat, grab a beer, and watch from a distance, because nothing you, me, or anyone else here says or does is going to change the inevitable outcome.

"...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001<stupid comment comming> I suspect that if America were to place extraordinary pressure on all parties to resolve their disagreements in a forceful and even handed manner, ignoring any and all of the pressure groups in America's bank yard (you know who I mean!), if need be by physically locking them in a darkened room until sense is found, then this issue will sooner or later evaporate. This means that there must be no "We support Israel and only Israel, so Israel go and do your worst as we don't mind and we won't stop you but we will also lambast those 'stinking' arabs and palestinians" from America. But we don't live in a utopian world so the premis of a even handed approach with justice for all parties for the furtherment of all humanity is no more than "pie in the sky" or even "cloud cuckoo-land". </stupid comment finished> Reply not necessary :|
