Split topic from the other thread because it was getting a little off topic, so I made it's own topic. It's always good to have one of these topics to see everyone's veiws and what not. So to continue...


During my American history class, my teacher kept comparing it to Vietnam, so that's what kinda stuck. I can see how it could be called another Gulf War also.

I agree with the whole sports thing. Most of the people I've delt with that are in sports are too bright (namely the males). But I believe if there was more money then they could figure out new methods of teaching that could change the views of certian people and allow them to have fun at school and not be such idiots.

I believe in having a good military. We already have an outstanding military, I just think that we need to pump more funds into education so that we don't have as many people whose only goals are to get D's so they can pass. Or at least put more money into Research and Development. Plus how many nukes do we have? Sure a lot of people wouldn't be happy if we used them as our only weapons, but people aren't happy what we recently did either. I don't understand why we had to do something that the UN didn't even want us to do. The UN was established for reasons. North Korea openly said "We have WMD's!", yet we go to Iraq because they supposivly posed a threat with WMDs but we find none?

Actually I was fine with Bush until the whole Gay Marriage ban thing. This is the subject I didn't wanna bring up in the other thread. This is the land of freedom, yet it's not ok to be happy just because someone is the same sex as you? I don't see how it's wrong to be married under the eyes of God or be recongized under the state as a married couple. It's not fair to the those people who care about each other in that way. I'm homophoic to an extent, but I'm not one to say "Hey, you shouldn't be married because you are the same sex".

I'm not really aware of every thing that Bush has done, but from what I've heard, he's spent way too long over in Iraq, too much money on military that could be spent else where, and the whole Gay Marriage ban thing is just stupid.

Oh, and from my understanding, Japan isn't allowed to have a militray because of WWII >.>
