At least a couple of times a year... depending if I travel of not

[Axantha]

I've been 3 times. First time, while wading in waist deep water, a surf fisherman caught a shark.

2nd time, was at a beach party after the Jags game. The third time was my first trip to the left coast.

[Legolas]

Left coast? Pacific?

[Axantha]

yup. Left side when you look at a map and most of the Far Left politically. Or the moonbats as I like to call them.

[Legolas]

Gotcha...

[Axantha]

That is why I haven't set foot in California

I won't support those that are so hateful of this country. They blame America for everything but you can't question their patriotism

[Legolas]

I blame America for everything that is wrong with the world

[Axantha]

for example? Please provide the why and the how

[Legolas]

War in Iraq

[Axantha]

Which was started originally by Sadam Hussain invading Kuwait. Then defying more then 14 toothless UN resolutions by using chemical weapons on the kurds and rebuilding his army.

Proof has been provided that he was funding and providing training grounds for Al-Queida, that he was rebuilding his army and chemical weapons. Not to mention what he was doing to his own people.

If the UN was even 1/4 as effective as it is corrupted, they would have been able to do something about it. As it is, something needed to be done to protect the people of America.

[Legolas]

Meh... All I know is that I don't want to see no war started on the States, because they might hit me by accident

[Axantha]

but that's what most folk forget.

Under the Clintons, there were 8 terrorist attacks on American soil. The clintons and most moonbats think we should consider a terrorist attack to be a crime and only use police action to capture and punish those responsible.

Not try and prevent it from occuring or taking the fight to the.

they have been a war with us for 200 years. We are only now trying to fight back and defend ourselves and our way of life.

If you don't think it's been that long, go back and study your history on Tripoli

[Legolas]

Interesting, didn't know that, but I know very little about American history, and my earlier comment was not ignorance, it was an attempt to be funny, but you have turned it around into something serious, so you have my full attention, but now I'm curious about the 8 terrorist attacks during the clinton saga.

[Axantha]

Sorry to turn serious, but this is a very touchy subject for me. I survived an attack by a terrorist group once. It's not something I can openly talk about.

Here are a few examples for you tho:

1993 World Trade Center Bombing

1996 Khobar Towers Bombing

1998 terrorists bombed the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, killing 258 people. More than 5,000 were injured.

2000 USS Cole Bombing

Long before there was a US, they were at war with anyone not of their religion. Tripoli was the first time America got involved. History commonly refers to it as an attack against pirates to defend national interests, but British, French and Americans were taken as slaves or sold back as ransom. It's was taught thru their religion that this was perfectly acceptable behavior.

[Legolas]

Serious is cool... Like I'm seriously thinking I should be doing my homework, but in all actuality, I'm not doing it because I'm a lazy ass, same goes for playing the guitar, and making dinner.

I remember the Nairobi one, that's where my family comes from.

[Axantha]

I lost friends in the Khobar Tower.

[Legolas]

My condolences.

[Axantha]

Thank you. I tend to get very defensive on that subject.

[Legolas]

Apparently so... so we will change it and think of happier times... like that time we were picking on Zelos
