The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Bush Senior like him or not -- I dont think was an incompetent boob. (I voted Perot, I wasn't a Bush Sr supporter) --yet, Americans died for the Kuait adventure ---when our side hinted to Saddam we'd stay out of his Kuwait problem in the first place.

THEN the Shiites were told to rise against Saddam -- both Bush Senior and Bill Clinton (both not boobs)---let the Shites get pounded in the ass.


OH, "gulf war syndrome" -- Bush Sr and Bill Clinton did little. It was Senator Kay Hutchison. Ross Perot, and others who did.

Don't enlist.

Even if your Mufti is in power and then you think all is well - dont enlist.

Draft!

higher 401K families, and selective colleges first.

Or, stop being Israel's bitch.

Stop being Europe's bitch.

Stop picking and choosing who gets away with stuff and who doesn't.

If Republicans would pretend the world is Israel. and Dems would pretend the world is China, we'd pretty much let people do what they like ;)

Signed, a non tribal ---the 5% minority
