NYR_32 6 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 He didn't say anything wrong all he did was swear, just like we all do. Nothing he said was controversial or inflamatory, unless your not a fan of Diet Coke. Have you read the transcripts? Link to post Share on other sites

NYR_32 6 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 "unless your not a fan of Diet Coke" .... ? What? If you don't like Diet Coke, and prefer Pepsi you could be offended by the presidents beverage preferences. Link to post Share on other sites
calius 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 Ahhh, LOL .. I see.

Like a spoilt school kid with way too much power ... = "plonka". Link to post Share on other sites
cdnsniper 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 He sounds pretty normal to me. In fact both Bush and Blair reminded me off the farmers here at my town and their conversations, lol I think I've gained more trust in them from hearing that. Link to post Share on other sites

Rocky 1,224 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 It seems to be the casual way they are discussing world politics, over a bite to eat that insterest some folks. They are arguably the two most powerful men in politics right now making world changing decisions, and here they are talking about it like we might talk about how we would organise this weekends shopping trip. Mind you, they talk about world politics almost as much as Mrs Rocky talks abut shopping so I guess the conversation it does start to appear casual after a while. Hey, did I just get hoodwinked into a Politics discussion? Where's than lock button... Link to post Share on other sites
FA sear 0 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 OH MY GOSH! GEE WILLE! Give me a break. This does belong in the humour section. This is the type of stuff you LAUGH at, not make a big deal over. This is like the time when Bill Clinton turned around and his hand went right into the breast of the woman standing behind him. Yeah, it was intentional, he was attempting to grope a woman in public. People make such a big deal over silly events. If this stuff happened to anyone else people would simply laugh and have a bit of fun with it. Link to post Share on other sites

Thats the point, it was what they are talking about surrounding the way it came across and also the comedy moment of it. should have put it under humour to a certain extent. ... was in my first post .

Whats ya problem? He did curse but he also spoke the frank truth of the matter. Obviously this latest action by hezbollah was backed by syria and iran. Obviously because those new long range rockets they are using has the freakin brand name from syrian and iranian weapons manufacturing. They back hezbollah, and in turn don't get their hands dirty. Behind the mic is where the real nitty gritty gets talked about. Ya knockin ya head against the wall cause things gettin worse n worse.....omg please! Any excuse to try to make bush looks bad. Gawd its like people don't even bother to think anymore they just attack the pres. for any reason. Why don't you stop and analyze the combat situation for a minute huh? This site isn't just about a bunch of idiot noobs playin a dumb video game. Where are all the real combat veterans who got interested in the [Ghost Recon] because of its high level of development as a tactical simulator? We need some insight by the vets into whats goin on over there. I for one do hope they take the entire hezbollah terror group OUT! Perhaps this thread should be moved to the military section.

Thats the point, it was what they are talking about surrounding the way it came across and also the comedy moment of it. should have put it under humour to a certain extent. ... was in my first post . Calius, this is by far one of the most ridiculous posts you have made. I'm sorry, but the tone in Bush's voice was very serious, and he was hardly taking the situation lightly. Your poor attempt at making this into more than it is simply disappoints me. If Bush said something more like "maybe we should just nuke em all" with a laughing tone, that is one thing, but don't tell me that all people don't speak in a very frank and matter of fact manner about serious things in life. I know that all of my friends have done this, and so have I. Calius, you are coming accross as either very "holier than thou", or extremely biased, and neither are good. Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not saying that you are an idiot and everyone should flame you. Calius, I don't know how old you are, but many people have been caught on tape making the same kind of remarks, and the reality is that none of us should hold anyone in office responsible for things like this. Like I said, it is one thing if he said something in a laughing tone that was off the wall, but that is far from being the case. Calius, I know you don't like Bush, but try to show some objectivity. Stuff like this only shows your bias, and affects your credibility. Link to post Share on other sites
calius 0 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 I dont post to ratch up browny points . This thing shows bush as an idiot (or ads to the list) WITH HIS MANNER <---- and other threads (which I think links into your post here and way your wording it) are different and should be treated as such. You seem to have jumped on this like that "outed" me or something!? You have dreamed up the "holier than thou" part not me mate, if thats the conslucion you have come about me thats up to you, but to assume that from a bunch of words on a screen and never meeting me then thats also worrying. Calius, I know you don't like Bush, but try to show some objectivity. Stuff like this only shows your bias, and affects your credibility. Yes I am bias - with bush as a person ... Bush is an idiot .... so ummm whats new with that news? You think thats discredited me or something then fine, if thats all it takes im not going to sweat over it. I feel your mixing threads here mate, I take them as seperate subjects entirely. Im free to post like yourselves, its in the news - thats the post, now everyone else seems to be making a big deal now this has become a humour thread in itself now. Link to post Share on other sites
FA sear 0 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Come on Calius, like I said, if Bush were to joke in a laughing tone that we should nuke Lebanon, and Palestine, then yes, he would have come accross as the biggest idiot in the universe (you probably already think that of him, so it may be a moot point). However, that was NOT the case, and that is my point. If you cannot differentiate between the two situations, then how can you claim to be fair and objective? I'm not saying that everything you post is biased and unfair. Calius, I know you don't like Bush, but try to show some objectivity. Stuff like this only shows your bias, and affects your credibility I said it affects your credibility (to others, not me). I did not say that I am now going to assume that you are wrong all the time from now on. You did not read my post correctly. I never claimed that this discredits everything you say from now on. How you come accross often affects how OTHERS see you. Right? Link to post Share on other sites

ZJJ 74 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 This has gotten severely off topic. As soon as calius finishes posting, I'm going to lock this thread.... not to mention the hint of politics inherent in this subject. Link to post Share on other sites
calius 0 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Worthy of a lock id guess, all Id say is jchung PM me mate much better than in this thread, its still an overlap ref other thread and I was basicly saying its different IE to keep different for the forums sake. I was going to say that earlier (at work posting never the best as im back and forth to the pc in short blasts). @Stalker ... I still dont understand even with your last post, lets just agree to differ I will, its all good. THX. Link to post Share on other sites
