[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 687110, member: 11425"] Extreme domestic hardships are going to come because we cannot continue to maintain this empire for much longer. We still have troops in Japan and Germany for crying out loud. How long ago did WWII end? The fact is if we win we do not win...we never come home. Hell, looked at in that vein maybe we did win Vietnam...we actually left there! As for Muslims and Jews, from what I understand Islam teaches tolerance towards Jews and Christians. We are all "people of the book". Thats not to say they believe Christian and Jews are equals with Muslims. But if I am not mistaken it is pagans that Islam has a much deeper problem with, for obvious theological reasons. Muslims have animosity towards the Jews for the injustices visited on their brethren the Palestinians. Start rectifying that and maybe we will be on the path to peace. But either way I don't have a dog in that fight. And neither does America, though we are being, and have been, convinced otherwise. As for my retirement, don't you want what's due you? What you paid for? Does your company health coverage extend past medicare eligibilty age? Would you be open to the goverment confiscating your 401K in order to pay for the invasion of Iran? Because as the goverment keeps cutting benefits that is what they are doing, stealing from you to pay for their wars. Believe me I am not relying on the goverment for my retirement. But I am not going to roll over and be like everyone else and say "by the time I retire there will be nothing left". Why do we accept that? Hell, why do we accept a lot of bs. Because we are conditioned to. Just like that old chestnut, "well, what are you going to do, it's a global economy". Translation: "just accept the fact that your job is going to be outsourced and there is nothing that can be done". I call bs on all of it. Whew, what a rant that was. :happy2: [/QUOTE]
