Vote for McCain! Send your children to die in more pointless Middle-Eastern wars! Waaa-Hoooo!
that is quite possibly the dumbest statistic I have ever read. You are comparing street violence in an American city to that of the war in the Middle East?statistics show that more Americans died from gun shots in Washington DC than in Iraq, does that mean we should pull out of DC too?
I take the position that if American soldiers were not over in Iraq keeping things more under control than were before we'd be a lot more susceptible to terrorism. After an event such as 9/11 I find it better to go over and fight the people who attacked you rather than just staying here like sitting ducks allowing terrorism to run wild.

You know? Maybe you guys are right. I changed my mind, I think I'm gonna vote for Obama now.
Don't be so macho brainwashed. Americas presence in these countries, fucking around killing their families, fucking up their governments and actually overthrowing democratically elected leaders, and flat out stealing their resources is what pisses people off.
You always do an outstanding job defending your position Ironslave, but we both know all the "fuckings" don't help in convincing people off their beliefs. I've always felt that was your biggest flaw in debating, sometimes your anger gets the best of you. Certainly understandable anger, but try to keep it under control.
Just for the record, I'm not a nun. I swear far more than the average person off the net, but you'll notice swearing on the internet makes you appear more angry than you really are. Because of this, I only use about one swear word max per post.
Call me an underachieving moron, but....
What's a neo-con? In layman's terms please.
Racism, sweet
Sarcasm, sweet
It's difficult to get a read on things like this though, because many of the people who think that "we need to stay in Iraq to fight the bad guys or else they will come and kill us all!" may also not vote for Obama, because he's black. People are like that.
Very true, It works the other way around aswell. I have a couple of black friends (one was my best man in my wedding) who won't vote for McCain simply because he's white and running against someone who's black. They don't know a lick about politics (not that I know a whole lot either) but their whole reasoning behind voting for Obama seems to be nothing more than "Hey, he's black like us. We should vote for him!"
