im not really a fan of nationalism either. its really the same shit in ideology.

one could also say extreme nationalism can/will result in conquest. the same way you say religion is.

He really does speak well. His speech writer does deserve some kudos though. The use of multiple phrases to convey an idea, is very effective.

If you didn't like the bloke at the beginning of the speech, by the end you would still be in awe.

Sarcasm noted, but I think Obama wrote his own inaugural address.

Are we sure he isn't like Rudd judging by his speech? A lot of mindless rhetoric and symbolism in his inauguration.

Oh well, if nothing else, America now has a great orator just like us.

Obama is a good orator. Rudd is not. Rudd sounds like that annoying little tosser from your primary school days who you always wanted to kick in the teeth for being such a suck-arse to the teacher. And sounds like a total knob when he tries to drop aussie euphemisms like 'bloke', 'cobba', 'beers' into his speeches.

Was it just me who stayed up 'til 4.30am this morning to see his speech and also in the vague hope that something catastrophic would happen and I'd be the first to witness it? E.g. a jet plane flying into the Capitol, as per Clancy's Debt of Honour?

B Obama's speech was pretty crap, maybe i've heard too many of them. He needs to fire his speechwriter because his speechwriter is very unoriginal. I've heard Obama defining a moment so many fucking times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FILL THE IDEAS SPACE WITH SOMETHING NEW MR PRESIDENT

i was hoping (not really) to witness a KKK member assassinate Obama in a KULX outfit. i wonder how the media would've spun the "equality" image of America over the whole incident. ROFL

Prove you're not a guy.

Never said you mentioned anything. I was refering to your post in the Gaza conflict thread, the one about death to the infadels etc.

I never said you were an Islamic extremist but i do think that. You did say you wanted Israel destroyed. Probably in the name of Islam.

I didnt attempt to prove anything??? i said you support terrorism?


Lol Islam = terrorists, didnt you know that?

(waits for rant about the religion of peace etc)

K guy, go use some kids as human shields.

ROFl...

is that your serious attempt to arge back at what i said?

if it is all i can do then is laugh.

Firstly your subsequent attempts to insult me by calling me a guy are just hilarious. I know that im a girl, i dont need to prove anything to an idiot like you. Furthermore whether im a guy or girl is irrelevant to what i am saying.

Secondly your attempt to deny what you said and then give us the ludicrous equation of islam=terrorists is nothing short of moronic which i suppose you are anyway.

I dont think Israel should exist. However as i said in the other forum yes i can only hope for its ruin. But you forget in your narrow mindedness that ruin doesnt only come by killing people or desecrating land. Ruin comes in many forms and i hope one of them strikes Israel.

Thirdly odnt speak about Islam when you know nothing about. You are only embarassing yourself. You dont hear me speaking about Judaism or Christianity because i respect all religions.

What i dont respect however is a country that arbitrates violence to helpless people under the banner of "self defence".

I dont condone violence and i never will.

Say whatever you want to say about me. However arguing back by simply insulting someone is not much of an arguement.

Barack Obama retakes oath of office

ONE day after his inauguration, US President Barack Obama had to retake the oath of office from Chief Justice John Roberts after stumbling when he originally swore to faithfully executive the office of president.

Obama took the oath in the Map Room of the White House one day after his inauguration as the nation's first African-American president.

"We believe that the oath of office was administered effectively and that the President was sworn in appropriately yesterday,'' said White House Counsel Greg Craig.

"But the oath appears in the Constitution itself. And out of an abundance of caution, because there was one word out of sequence, Chief Justice Roberts administered the oath a second time.'' [...]
