A non-fuckwitted poll would actually have been quite interesting and useful. I'm ambivalent about intervention and I suspect lots of other people are as well - would have liked to see who else was on the fence.
 
I've avoided the news for weeks now so I have no idea what's going on other than seeing pictures on the front of the metro.
 
It's a completely crap poll. It mirrors the level of discussion on the topic prevelant on Urban at the moment.
 
In our house I'm Ghadaffi and Mrs L is the rebels. Usually she's Israel and I'm Palestine.
 
I think Gaddafi's a horrible shit but the 'intervention' is not about protecting the Libyan people from him, it's about wresting control of the oil from him.
 
How would one manifest their 'support' for Gaddafi?

With a good old masonic handshake!!11!
 
I've got no liking for either of the main protagonists TBH.

I think Libya would be well-rid of Gaddaffi but I don't think the coalition is anything more than a bunch of circling vultures waiting to fall on what he leaves behind for all their own interests.

Couldn't you have posted this on the earlier threads about this matter?
 
Why not fuck off and read the FAQ on pursuing disputes across threads eh? :p

I'm unaware that we have a dispute elsewhere on the boards.

Why not read the FAQs on misrepresentation? :D

(I know it probably doesn't exist so i shall be lobbying editor)

Either way, I've never carried anything anyone has disputed with me on to a non-relavent thread and you are making a reference to one, so I hope you will grant me the same courtesy? :)
 
The UN resolution authorises not just the no-fly zone, but "all necessary measures". This could be used to justify almost anything, including a ground invasion. Western intervention may appear to some to deal with Qaddafi's advance, but in reality it's designed to halt the Arab rebellion.
 
It is relevant to this thread that you could have posted to the earlier one. Otherwise you yourself wouldn't make simiar off-topic noises all over the boards. :p

No!

And how on earth can pointing an OP in the direction of relavent info/answers on similar threads be considered any sort of off topic?

Anyway, this thread is not the time or the place - How about leaving it to follow its own course now? :)

It excluded a ground invasion. Of course they could just do a new resolution for that later, you know, when it becomes 'necessary'.

The humour is derived from you not following that course of action yourself. And made funnier by you objecting to it being illustrated.
 
So being rather busy these last two weeks precludes me from entering an ongoing discussion when I want to?

How about applying that to every other poster then - that would cut the crap down considerably! :D

And once again, if you want to "illustrate" anything, why not save it for a relavent discussion instead of hijacking someone else's topic?
