Anybody bothered about what's going on in Libya?

[Walaytawo]

When I talk to friends and family back home about the invasion of Libya they don't seem very interested, don't even have an opinion. Seems strange with all the cuts and how out of pocket people are I would have thought that spending billions on invading a foreign country would cause a bit of anger :Erm:

This is a forum for primarily for Brits and their Filipina partners, plenty of other more appropriayte forums to discuss such a weighty issue. Barbacue chicken marinade recipes please!!!:)

That's the head in the sand attitude I'm talking about :rolleyes: The average tax payer just doesn't want to talk about it.

@Tawi2 That's quite a trek from Cotabato. Nice to know others are taking an interest :xxgrinning--00xx3:

@branno we like to play both sides don't we :rolleyes:

You are so wrong my friend, just not the forum I wish to discuss it, my son is actually patrolling the no fly zone right now, he flys Typhoons out of RAF Coningsby but is currently forward deployed to Gioia Del Colle in Italy.

Now has any one got any barbacue chicken marinade recipes

[Walaytawo]

I thought with all the different sections on the site there was more here than discussions about relationships, visas and recipes. Please feel free to delete this thread mods if I've strayed from the subjects the site was intended for.

[scott&ligaya]

actually that is a good point and you did post in the news section so apologies if I somewhat made light of a serious topic... and a belated welcome to the site.

[keithAngel]

good post what do you think of the action rather than the cost:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[branno]

johann hari has wrote in the indepent on sunday "were not been told the truth on libya" .... its well worth a read.

[grahamw48]

They'll be needing lots of new armaments once the situation is resolved. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

How much is one nuke? How wide is Libya? Sorted :icon_lol:

[keithAngel]

how wides scouser land?:Rasp:

[Walaytawo]

Governments arrogance in believing how gullible people are is laughable. Did we learn nothing from Iraq and Afghanistan? Does anybody actually believe this is a humanitarium effort, because we care so much about the oppressed people of Libya. :doh

Without oil our western economies are screwed, and with our own reserves running out there's no other way to fix that problem than plunder it from other countries. :cwm23:

Straight from the horses mouth:

A good read if anybody's interested: Blood and Oil: The Dangers and Consequences of America's Growing Dependency on Imported Petroleum (The American Empire Project)

[KeithD]

We done the same thing in Bosnia or have you forgotten that? No oil there, and Libya only supplies 2% of the worlds oil, and at the moment 0% and we are not short of supplies. No oil in Afghanistan either so that arguments a dud.

It is humanitarian as we prevented genocide, and is something the UN needs to do more often. You'll find British people aren't dumb to things like this, however the Yanks are extremely dumbed down and insular.

[Walaytawo]

What makes Libya more of an urgent humanitarian crisis than say Zimbabwe, Sudan, Ivory Coast etc :Erm: Anything to do with it being in the top ten oil producers in the world? The first thing they did when they went in - as with Iraq - was secure the oil fields. Afghanistan may have something to do with the proposed pipeline Cheney and his buddies had been planning for years to run oil from Azerbaijan.

Bosnia, who knows, the military is an economy within itself. When you've got a massive budget to keep building weapons only makes sense to use them.

[keithAngel]

Afganastan was and is about the oil pipeline wouldnt want radical islamists anywhere near that

[Walaytawo]

lol nice one Keith :xxgrinning--00xx3: posted the same statement at the same time :)

:rolleyes: For those of old enough to remember the hey day of the 'Hollies' pop group, :olddude: I am reminded of their 1964 "hit":-

"Just one *look" - read *nuke &c ... :icon_lol:

well i use to work with 2 libyan brothers, they had a english mother and british passports, the didn't consider themselves to be British at all, infact they use to :laugher: at british soldiers getting killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. i wonder if their cheering the Brits now :action-smiley-081:

[Arthur Little]

For the benefit of most of a generation ... as of then unborn ... the 'Hollies' were a Manchester-based group with its genesis in the early 1960s. :D

[branno]

possibly 60 billion barrels of oil in the falklands and more than 1 trillion dollars worth of minerals in afghan... thats a few quids worth fighting for ... hows that song go ... all i need is the oil that you breathe.... :yikes:

[Arthur Little]

... hows that song go ... all i need is the oil that you breathe.... :yikes:

Ah ... another variation on a 'Hollies' theme. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

That's the kind of hatred we fuel with our foreign policies :rolleyes:

[joebloggs]

they hated the brits becuase they killed their 'muslim brothers'

thou them same 'muslim brothers' killed an estimated 1m of each other in the iran/iraq war :crazy:

[Doc Alan]

I can understand why Arthur and Branno made the connection between the Hollies and Gaddafi ... both have berries / berets :icon_lol:

[KeithD]

We are doing the same thing in the Ivory Coast if you pay attention to the news.

[Walaytawo]

Must have missed that. Do you have a link?

:) Precisely, Alan ... it's good to "inject" (pun seemed appropriate with your being a doctor!) some humour into those types of thread as a much-needed antidote to all the doom and gloom :cwm24: we're subjected to in the media nowadays. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Gadaffi has said he will calm down after coming to an agreement with the African nations.

[keithAngel]

All we need is war dum de dum de all we need is war......war all we all we need is war:doh

[grahamw48]

Gadaffi has said he will calm down after coming to an agreement with the African nations.

Wow...now there's a bunch we can all trust. :icon_lol:

[Walaytawo]

I wonder if the fact the King of Kings wants to unite the whole of Africa and form a single government and currency may also be part of the reason for invading Libya :Erm: Perhaps wouldn't be so easy to plunder their resources then.

Brain washing?? It happens in this country, it's called religion, so maybe we should nuke ourselves first :doh
WMD - We have nukes, last time I looked they were WMD :rolleyes:

This thread is turning crazy:icon_lol:

[Walaytawo]

TV is blatant brainwashing, unless you can name a TV show which doesn't promote vanity, fame, greed, bitchiness, violence, murder, rape etc. I only turn the TV on in the UK once in awhile to have a laugh at the news, at how dumb they presume people to be. Can't ever remember seeing a show which promotes thinking for yourself.

Saddam and his WMDs :rolleyes: Political lies, and nobody seems bothered we were led to war to kill 1 million people on false pretenses :angry:

All sports are encouraged by the powers that be as they dumb down the people and keep them distracted from what's really going on. Look how many people are obsessed by their football team :crazy: I saw some old school pals of mine recently posting on Facebook their pride and joy at their team reaching wembley. The way they were going on you'd have thought they'd found a cure for cancer or a soloution to world peace :rolleyes:

Apologies Les, the truth makes me want to go back to sleep sometimes too :D

[les_taxi]

If you are passionate about a sport then it does mean a great deal to you if you win something.
Many on here a sporting fans and it's a big part of many people's lives.
Watching Man utd beat Bayern Munchen in the last few mins of the game in 1999 was one of the happiest moments of my life:Jump:
I'm looking at your posts and don't take this the wrong way but you seem to comment a lot on the 'heavy stuff' I would love to hear what your passions are,your filipino relationship etc.
Your are making my mate Dedworth sound like Mr. Happy:icon_lol:

[Walaytawo]

I would love to hear what your passions are,your filipino relationship etc.

Passions: travel, photography, walking, nature, reading, religious studies, media analysis. I'm kind of a phase guy, something interests me for awhile, then I move onto something new and unlearned. Quite like jet-skiing at the moment.

Relationship: currently in a happy and fulfilling relationship with my future ex-girlfriend :)

I'll try and lighten up a little and lay off the heavy stuff :D That was some game in '99 :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Good share :xxgrinning--00xx3: I've seen the Aaron Russo interview a few times, and he just comes across as a real stand up guy, no reason to think he's making it up. What I found most interesting was where he said about Rockefeller admitted to re-engineering women through funding the womens lib movement.

Good article here on the subject - http://www.rense.com/general75/how.htm

The hidden goal of feminism is to destroy the family, which interferes with state brainwashing of the young. Side benefits include depopulation and widening the tax base. Displacing men in the role of providers also destabilizes the family.

[branno]

yeahh he hits home with a few points :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Dedworth]

Saddam and his WMDs :rolleyes: Political lies, and nobody seems bothered we were led to war to kill 1 million people on false pretenses :angry:

Suggested new threads "Anybody bothered about Saddam Hussein using biological weapons on his own people" or "Anybody bothered about the 500000 Iraqis and untold Iranians killed in the 1980 - 88 Iran v Iraq War" ...............err no I guess not :Erm:

Good topics for discussion :xxgrinning--00xx3: Or a new thread on the Arms to Iraq scandal, which contributed heavily to the downfall of the last conservative mob. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arms-to-Iraq

Where was our humanitarian effort in those days :Erm: Profit before lives. Always :crazy:

In that they have certainly succeeded. :rolleyes:

then to top it all we further discovered that sadam had none of the weapons he was believed to of had, but we see kim jong of north korea blatantly flaunting his nuclear arsenal and openly saying " hey look wot ive got" as he points to his missiles and his chemical nightmares.. I think kim jong is very unstable.. but who are we to say he cant have them, when we ourselfs have them..

Rather than mess about trying to develop nuclear weapons Kim il Jong should be working hard to get on the UK's list of Foreign Aid recipients - it works for Pakistan we shovel hundreds of millions at the scum running that nest of vipers :angry:
