You can't expect to live some weird lifestyle, opt out of doing normal things (like having health insurance) and then expect someone else to pick up the tab.

Who says they were?

ColinEssex said:
What the hell did they think was going to happen if they needed long term healthcare?

Why don't you ask them? This question shows how little you know about the kind of people you're judging.

ColinEssex said:
Plus, if they can cope without donations, why on earth give them $4m

Nobody gave them $4m. If a pregnant women can stand why give up your seat for her?

ColinEssex said:
If they want to do that [live that way] then they do it without outside help which they appear to despise anyway - all this secretive stuff, no cars etc its all a load of bo**ocks

What individual permits a helping hand in difficult times? You? Thank God, no.

ColinEssex said:
Now they're sitting pretty with $4m bucks in the bank whats the phrase - laughing all the way to the bank.

Who says the money is going to make anyone in the community laugh?
Is no subject matter immune to your puerility, not even the grief over a murdered child?

I wouldn't take it thanks, I guess it's something to do with my religion

I seriously doubt that.

Why do you find it so difficult to accept, are you comparing me to American society?

Well America's not that grief struck, is it?

I don't rely on America as a benchmark for my comments.

Spot the pronoun. I don't see the word 'America' do you?

I naturally assumed Bods comment meant they had been given the money - its seems fairly precise

Bod said:
I heard on the news this morning that the total amount of donations to the Amish community here has now exceeded 4 million USD.

so where is this mystical $4m bucks then? getting someone a fat lot of interest before its handed over?

Who says the money is going to make anyone in the community laugh?

Well it'll cheer them up a bit, thats for sure

Had you read my earlier posts, I have acknowledged this as a tragic event. However, I'm talking about the money here - not the incident itself - please try and keep up Dan

Won't they also get a government pay-out too? like when the towers fell over on 11/9, the spouses of the dead all got $3m
for free

Why would I not use the word American when we're discussing America?

Then what are you comparing me to, Buddhists?

As I said in an earlier thread, Americans are a giving bunch.

Really Col?

More often than not.

You should look up the accounts for the last 50 years or so. I think you’ll find that we have given as much as most of the rest of the world combine.

Unfortunately, the accounts probobly don't cater for the damage caused by your governments warmongering gung-ho attitude to other countries which as you know is incalculable.

Col,

As you know I am against the operation in Iraq, if for no other reason it may keep us from destroying the nuclear facilities in North Korea or Iran.

But if you took a realistic look at our military efforts over the last 50 years you will see that we did at least as much good as bad, especially when you consider that even our Pentagon views war as a zero sum gain.

Take for instance the stopping or the advance by the North Koreans had it not been for us they would have continued that war for an indefinite period. Certainly it would have continued until both countries were completely void of resources.

Give me one example where American intervention caused more problems than it solved. There are of course several but it probably wont be as cut and dried as you will make it out to be.

Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, how many do you want?

I sincerely hope the last part of that is a joke because if you are serious and the USA blunders into there, then your Iraq jaunt is going to look like strolling across the fields on a warm summers day. Getting Saddam et al will be like chastising a kitten compared to Korea or Iran.

I can't imagine how it will be. Its beyond me what actually posesses the US government to do all this.
I think that its because there has been (comparitively) little terrorist attacks on the USA soil so the government and people lulled into thinking they can invade / kill / attack anywhere and remain virtually untouched. When the bombs fall in New York maybe the US will wake up

Surely the US government knows the USA is the most hated country on earth - why does it do this? The UN should decide what happens, not some maverick country that thinks its gods gift.

It is statements like this that allow Rich and Col to keep attacking America, what right has America to deny nuclear facilities to other countries?, infact the invasion of Iraq is a bloody good reason for all other countries to want WMDs , but the arrogant hypocracy of the ruling elite of the west just can't see it, and it would appear nor can some ordinary americans.

Morning Brian,
I was actually egging them on (this is a political thread, and they are so cute when they’re angry).

But on the darker side. The rules of human engagement have not changed for 250,000 years nor are they going to in the near future. If you choose to come to the fight then bring a bigger club.

The real danger for the west (including Britain) is that plutonium will wind up on the open market and this will be potentially fatal for any number of western cities that don’t conform to the new world order according to Mohamed.

We are entering the third World War we just don’t know it yet.

It's already freely available on the internet, oh and by the way the North Korean adventure that you related to was a United Nations effort, not just American
