Mark, if i wanted to own a 944 turbo, and i saw that 952 had done a lot of modifications to his, i would ask him what the ups/downs of what he has gone through. After talking to several other folks, i then might have a better place to start modifying my 944 turbo. We might think his world views are alittle out of wack, but he also shares an affinity with same cars that we all do to.

Widebody911, you make a VERY good point.

Thom you are probably right. She is just an uneducated woman, as uneducated as the people in this car:

One time a cute 20'ish girl was in the office and I saw a chinese charachter tattoo on her lower abdomen. I chuckled a little and she asked what I was laughing at. I said "Don't you know what it says?" she said it meant "Peace and Harmony". Lying through my teeth I told her I lived in China for six years and was fluent in three Cantonese dialects and her tattoo definitely read "Broccoli with Beef".

Oh ok, can you please show me evidence that there was no political party and no election? You can do this by showing how he came into power without using these processes.

I though that the British wanted to own us? I remember now, they had the worlds largest army. Interesting, just like us now with Iraq, i'm starting to see the connection. Oh, but wait, tell me again how Saddam was better? How he didn't kill hundreds of people who didn't beleive in him? OR was that just a dream.

However, lets wait and see if the US tries to keep Iraq for itself. Because then, that WILL be an INVATION for keeps. And at that point, dont you think the world would retaliate? All of you hippies out there, if the US keeps Iraq, i'll be right along side out you. But untill that day happens, your just a tree huggen hippie.
Americans are also brought up to believe certian things, we are all ignorant regardless of where we are raised. Apparently, some people on this thread were brought up to think that an American life is somehow more worthy than an Iraqi life.

I didn't say Saddam was a good leader, or that he should still be in power. I just tried to shed light on the plight of the Iraqi, and the fact that they are defending their own country, and that I feel that "terrorist" is an inacurate, misleading term in most cases.

I didn't, nor did I read someones post where they thought the US was invading Iraq to keep? Where did this tangent originate from? The fact is, we are still invading, regardless of the timeframe of occupation.

ROFLOL! Sign doesn't say something negative about the U.S. so it must be a fake picture. That the best you can do? And you really expect to be an educator?

Iv'e seen quite a few references to the " Oposition " and it sounds as if people still believe that Saddam is over there telling them what to do, if he ever was ( they are probably AQ tourists )
seems like we have Saddam in custody don't we ??

Looks like someone is in denial that some people over there actually dislike a dictatorship. 952, How does your country work, government wise? Does the Queen of England have some ruling over you, and if she does, don't forget that parlament does something too. Every country that has power is working off some sort of democracy, dictators don't seem to last very long.

And please don't bring up China, if you've been there, you;d know. We don't have leg-less/arm-less beggers on our streets. And if we do, ther're arnt very many.

If you consider how the baathist party, certain clan groups, and Saddam's family used brutality and terror to control Iraq, they could be described as "terrorists". As these factions and others that would behave in the same manner fight US troops (in unconventionable ways), most Americans are comfortable in calling them terrorists.

It depends on whether you think they are defending their country - or looking to gain or regain power by other than democratic means.

A simple "it works this way" would have been fine. Your an angry person who does not even know when someone is trying to respect your opinion, but ask you questions to try to show you there point.

I have come to the conclusion that you don't care about what is right or wrong, just what you think. Bush thinks the same way, he thinks his way is richus also in weeding out people who kill others becuase thats whay they do. I wish we were more of a country that worked the way you think, we would keep to our selves, but we arn't, so get over it.

No, I was over there to implement some manufacturing systems in a new plant the company I work for built, in the Jiangsu Province.

NZ,

Pick up a copy of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Nazi Germany" it is an excellent entry-level primer on how Hitler came to power. I do concede that there were elections involved, but that is not nearly the extent of how he was able to attain his position.
