If you don't have a clue to what I'm talking about click.. Here http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060221/ap_on_go_pr_wh/ports_security;_ylt=A0SOwlMfh_tDJkUASAKs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA2Z2szazkxBHNlYwN0bQ-- |

"I want those who are questioning it to step up and explain why all of a sudden a Middle Eastern company is held to a different standard than a Great British company," Bush said. I can see why hes doing this, he does want to better someone elses situation, I swear, this war has almost turned into a pride issue. He set out to achive what he wanted, despite alot of negative critism. reguardless of how you feel about the war in the middle East, we're at war with them, giving Middle eastern Countries large ports at this particular time is just stupid. He's getting so caught up in transoforming the country and aiding it, hes losing sight of whats best for his country. I just think this is a bad idea and its only going to get worse, but then again hes the president, Im 13. |
dirtyhippie Geek Age: 34 Gender: Male Posts: 466 | I find this highly amusing: Bush said of the ports deal, "This deal wouldn't go forward if we were concerned about the security of the American people." The man's funnier than Tom Cruise...and he didn't even have to climb on a couch. |
Kurtni Admin Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 34289 | dirtyhippie: , yes, but if a couch had be there, it would have been better. |
Spike Geek Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 121 | Well, you must have heard that Bush said he didn't even KNOW about it! But I think the whole adminisration is losing it. This isn't about racism. It's not racism for you to not want YOUR ports controled by ANY other country. |
well.durr__hXc™ King For A Couple Of Days Age: - Gender: - Posts: 3226 | its a no win situation. congress don't like the idea. but Bush threatened to Veto it. its just a waste of time really. |
Kurtni Admin Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 34289 | well durr.: Bush threatened to Veto it? It was his idea! |
well.durr__hXc™ King For A Couple Of Days Age: - Gender: - Posts: 3226 | I_worship_tre_Cool: he's gonna veto it if congress don't pass it. |
Kurtni Admin Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 34289 | well durr.: Can he do that? I thought the president could only veto acts passed by congress, not ones the deny.... |
well.durr__hXc™ King For A Couple Of Days Age: - Gender: - Posts: 3226 | I_worship_tre_Cool: i thought it was the other way around. |
Kurtni Admin Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 34289 | well durr.: if congress passes a law, the president can veto it. Then congress has to have a 2/3 majority vote for the Bill to become a law. I didnt know the president could veto things congress didnt aprrove, laws are not part of the executive branch, well making them. They can suggest them, but they cant pass bills. I dont know, I'll have to research it. |
well.durr__hXc™ King For A Couple Of Days Age: - Gender: - Posts: 3226 | I_worship_tre_Cool: yeah.. ok i'm confused now. |
Biffy Clyro Basket Case Age: 33 Gender: Male Posts: 16018 | this thread is retarded. wooow so what if an arab country controls some seaports. you wouldnt be saying the same thing if it was somewhere like russia would you? |
Matt Smith Admin Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 31134 | rusty: Think about what you're saying. America. Russia. Ahem. |
Biffy Clyro Basket Case Age: 33 Gender: Male Posts: 16018 | Bloodraine: it was the first country i thought of. i was just trying to point out how prejudiced this thread is, kay? |
Spike Geek Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 121 | rusty: I think that it would be dumb for any other country to control the US's ports. |
Matt Smith Admin Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 31134 | rusty: Kay. I was just trying to point out that there is a lot of bad blood between the US and Russia. If it was just a random country you put down then fine. |
Kurtni Admin Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 34289 | I_worship_tre_Cool: Before you assume we are all prejudice, read what some of us said |
