Epilogue and apologies

[pokerjo22]

Daryn didn't get a reply because he was taking the piss out of both of us.

As for the Iraq thread it pretty much sums up my thoughts. I think the risk of terrorism is exaggerated and I don't see how it justifies the loss of life, on both sides.

The argument that we made the Iraqis lives better by getting rid of Hussein applies to any dictatorship, but I don't see us rushing into war with somewhere like Myanmar (it would be better if we did - at least then it would confirm we weren't acting in our own self-interest).

Its not like I'm some pinko commie - this is the only war I've ever opposed, and it all stems from it being pre-emptive. I just don't believe its morally justified to attack a country because you think they might be thinking of attacking you. If that's the case, the Japanese were justified in bombing Pearl Harbor.

Anyway, politics. Wrong forum. Mods notified.

did you make up all the stuff about moving to CA and everything? the only thing I thought was weird was you buying a half million dollar house.

Awesome location. If you make it to the West Coast, the drinks are on me.

[pokerjo22]

Naw, that was true. Half a million buys you a shack round here, and not a very big one at that.

for some reason, I think it would have been truly weird if you had made up that part, and were actually british or something. not that it isn't weird as it is [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
