    Not only is it okay, but it's not like I could go out on the front lines even if I wanted to. There are those people who are unfit for service. Let me reiterate: There are healthy American men/women who try out and STILL fail to make the cut. Maybe, at best I could see myself in the technology division.

    When I use the word 'business' in this phrase, I mean a no-nonsense approach. Iran isn't being consistent with us, I'd pull our diplomat and I'd be like: "Have a nice day." If there's something I can't tolerate, it's a double-crosser. I see Vladimir Putin as a pragmatic man and I think I could convince him of a world without Ayotollah and his nuts as being good for Iran, Russia and the world.

    There's also the proposal I had on the Arab States arming themselves, in which I'd enable them to do so but under very strict guidelines. I'm a very stern person personally and I think to be stern and unwavering is the utmost quality of a commander in chief.

    The President is not a dictator nor the ruler of the world. You would probably be unhappy in that office.

    Let's see:
    -I as POTUS have the authority to pull our top diplomats from the table and say we're not negotiating when negotiations aren't held in good faith by the OTHER party.

    -And Russia above all wants security in Eurasia and in the Eastern Mediterranean. If that means a religious nut like Ayotallah has to take the fall, I'm sure the Russian Government will inevitably see it that way.

    -The Arab States have come to US seeking permission to arms. Me laying out the groundwork for such an acceptable arrangement is also within my authority as CIC.

    So I don't see how I acted as dictator or ruler of the world, but I hypothetically acted within my post.. The only thing is whether or not Russia would concede to the fall of the Iranian Regime. But even if they didn't, I'm still leaning towards pulling the trigger. Iran has gotten a pass for far too long with passive-aggressive actions that look more robust and aggressive by the development.

    What Russia would fear the most, is a pro-US "government" in Iran. I would give assurances to Russia that that's not the case. I don't want a pro-US government in Iran, I want a pro-sanity government in Iran. In 1939, the world hesitated. I will not hesitate when dealing with the Iranian threat, the North Korean threat or any other threat that would endanger the lives of US citizens.

    The US has never, and never will at any time pose a threat to the livelihood of the world's citizens. If reforms can be executed peacefully, or without a single civilian casualty that would be ideal. But in wartime, casualties are inevitable and they aren't our fault. It's the fault of the repressive regimes for not coming to grips with the 21st century.

    Now that charges have been filed the system should be allowed to work. So far little is known about what happened to Freddie Gray. Those who are operating on assumption should stop the rhetoric. There is zero evidence that race had anything to do with this case.

    Folks are operating from assumption on this case. Nothing is known as far as how Grey actually was injured yet there has been rioting and looting. That just shows how these folks are not interested in justice. When you create your own facts it is because you have an agenda. When truth doesn't matter then justice will not happen. Those who are claiming racism or even police brutality here are just being dishonest. This is a good reason to not care about racism. If folks are willing to assume thier own facts then they have no interest in truth or justice and can shove their rhetoric where the sun doesn't shine.

    Could it be because there is a pattern here, I am pretty sure Freddie Gray is not the first black man that has been killed by the police in Baltimore under suspicious circumstances.

    What are they interested in?

    What is their agenda?

    Have you ever lived in Baltimore?
    How so, please tell us how this has nothing to do with racism or police brutality if that is the case.

    Funny, how do you know what these folks are thinking and what they care about or don't care about.

    He's BLACK. All you have to do is to look at him. He is a black man, regardless of what color is mom was.

    Oh, so because a young person has dreams and aspirations and actually has ideas, that makes him or her narcissistic? Sounds like you're jelly.

    Well, I'm not that young as American Nationalist. I'm in my 30s, so I'm not naive.

    Are you calling our parents and grandparents stupid? Is that what you're trying to say here? I know there are smart old people. You aren't one of them.

    More assumptions. Instead of pulling this racism stuff out of your arse why not provide some evidence. That is the whole issue. Some folks cry racism from assumption. That is bullcrap.

    I denigrated nobody. I said that YOU are old and out of touch, and if you think racism is "the same" as it was in the 50s and 60s, then you have proven my point. You have no idea what people think or feel anyways. You just WANT there to be racism.

    Racism is racism , it doesn't change because years pass. It is always the same. Manifestations of it may change but racism doesn't change .

    It's quite stupid to say I want racism and you have no basis for saying that....quit pouting.

    And it was YOU who decided what everyone else thought or felt.

    yes it does change. People change with education and exposure. I said that the younger generations are not racist like the older ones. Racists among my generation and younger are few and far between. It's the same thing with gay marriage. Usually, it's not accepted at ALL amongst the older generations but is much more acceptable to the younger ones.

    You still just can't get it because you are so hung up on this "carved in stone" generation crap.

    RACISM is the SAME. 20 years from now the word racism won't mean "daffodil", it will still mean racism. :roll:

    If you want to play the race game, guess whose generation was marching in Selma and participating in protest and marches around the country.


    Gay marriage? I was for it before you were born. I am for it and know plenty of people younger than I who aren't for it...


    You're just making the same stupid arrogant mistake every generation makes...thinking THEY are the ENLIGHTENED generation....and it's funny how human nature has never changed despite all that "enlightenment ...

    Certainly more enlightened, educated and exposed than your generation ever was.

    Also, stop YELLING. You know when you bold an entire sentence or use CAPS, that means you are YELLING on the internet. Stop being a spaz.

    You are just being foolish, as per usual. Of course, the younger generations are exposed to more and are less ignorant. That is just a fact. Sorry that it bothers you that there are LESS racists than 50 or 60 years ago. This is why I say that you want there to be racism. It's your ticket to being a race baiter.

    Yes, we have the internet, 24-hour news channels, etc. Back in your days, people didn't have those outlets. The internet, especially, has made the world a much smaller place.

    Talk about insults, that's pretty much all you ever do around here!

    Well, you chided me for noting that racism in America "does not exist to nearly the extent that it did in the 1950s and '60s...with no proof, no statistics..nothing."

    I do understand that much...

    You are the one on here that has AssUMed that this has nothing to do with race. There is a pattern going on here we see case after case after case, but race has nothing to do with it. Then what in the hell has to do with it? Its like those who were trying to deny that lynching was going on down South.
