[QUOTE]Originally posted by Baloo: [QB] <blockquote>"As to the American people wouldn't allow it, bullshit. The American people are so bloody brainwashed and stupid and ignorant, they'd allow it. They'd allow anything if the media made it palatable for them."</blockquote> It would take a great deal of work by the media to produce the amount of brainwashing necessary to convince the American public that the introduction of an additional 5 billion citizens (plus a few) would have a positive effect on the U.S. Besides, Congress, which is responsible for issuing declarations of war (one would almost be mandatory if the U.S. expected to keep it's newly-conquered territories) would recognize that these new territories would either have to be administered as protectorates (expensive) or admitted as states. This latter option would be no more palatable, since it would dilute the authority of individual congressmen and senators. Add in the fact that many of these nations are military powers in their own right, with a national agenda that is not the same as the U.S., and even if the U.S. did decide to take on all comers, it would be hopelessly outgunned and outmanned before a single shot could be fired in anger. <Blockquote>"People are so bloody stupid, they would never grasp anything beyond how to buy porn! People are worthless and they all should burn in hell!"</blockquote> The above statement is dysfunctionally hostile, filled with contempt. Do you include yourself in the description above or are you exempt? If you are not exempt, then why? If you hold us in such contempt, why do you deign to speak to us? If you do not include us in that group you describe, why do you not make this clear? DT: It seems to me that your anger stems from something other than what set you off. What is it? [/QB][/QUOTE]
