I didn't say that Chinese inflation is the reason why America isn't doing badly.

| are you listening to yourself right now? the usa has a major list of issues right now and you dismiss it and harp on a minor inflation issue. a position which that china is rectifying and one in which the us was in back in 2008; but because china has it its the end of the world for their ppp? rofl Quote:
And America indeed has a fuck ton of problems right now,

Believe me bud, the weak dollar is doing amazing things to the US, as will the Yuan appreciating a substantial amount, which will be inevitable. America will ride this wave and come out on top, stronger than ever.

oh and about slapping me irl, that was funny but im hurt i actually find you likable
Oh and latest rumor is that the Al-Qaeda in Libya gave up BinLaden for help to take out Gaddafi hence the bombing on Gaddafis home just prior
dun dun dunn the conspiracies begin

Can someone please confirm whether the phrase "Yippee ki-yay, motherf*cker!" was used at any point during the execution of this operation? It's of utmost importance.

Holy carp, I thought the caption read, Osama Bin Laden captured and killed May 1, 2011 in Abbotsford.
Had to replay..... LOL.
Wow, they really wanted to make sure there was no chance of survival. I think even jesus would have had a hard time making it out of there. of course, we all know jesus would make it out of there............ god bless.

The SEALs were flown in on two helicopters and rushed into the building, got their target, rushed out then flew out. Dont think they'd spend the time to spray the building and sky with gunfire...in humvees

The United States has nothing to celebrate about...The lives of those who were taken will not be brought back. The broken homes caused by the terrorist acts will not be put back together. The animosity between religious groups will not be reversed...They have simply destroyed the beast that they themselves had created. In time, I'm sure they will create another one...

i'm just waiting for photos of his dead body to get leaked. at least i'm hoping they get leaked out. just the whole "he's dead and we dumped his body over the side of the boat" seems so... fishy. i guess i just want proof.
i mean, right now aren't we just taking the word of Obama that this happened? i'm not claiming any sort of conspiracy-theory-he's-still-alive type of thing but everyone just up'd and cheered and celebrated all on the President's word. it's not like he doesn't have a vested interest in serving up some good news.
i'd like to think that he's NOT dead and he's tied up in the basement of a secret government building. or something.

Justice teaches you lessons. Justice helps you learn from your mistakes...Bin Laden was a product of American government. He was funded and empowered by American government. That is a fact and is not arguable. As I had already mentioned, they simply destroyed the monster they created. Celebrating the idea that you have fixed a mistake is hardly something worth celebrating. Learning from that mistake and ensuring that it does not happen again, IS something worth celebrating.
Also, I never said that killing Osama was a bad thing. Not at all, it was justified. In fact the only bad thing about it is not having that mo.fo. alive so he can suffer. My comment is a reflection upon the question; what is being celebrated?

Your completely correct. The war on terror was engineered as a means of stimulating the economy in preperation for the recession, which was secretly predicted by a U.S. government think tank of economists headed by Ben Stein in 2001. 9/11 was engineered by the U.S. government as a justification for said stimulus. The proceeds from the opium production didn't go the U.S. though, that stayed within the middle east as discrete pay offs to the Afghani government to allow our forces to occupy their country.
This will be my last post ever on RS, as I will be abducted by an agency more secretive than the CIA since I just revealed the truth.
/sarcasm.

This world is fucked.
What gives americans the rights to go into somebody's country and kill someone without justice upon themselves?
What gives them the right to label someone a terrorist when their action is no better than terror itself?
An eye for an eye, when does it end and who is it to judge who is wrong and right. Killing is killing, no matter what the reason is. This world have no justice, it's all about the money.
