2. Recommended n/t

[satya]

3. K&R. Great way to get the message across to people. nt

[MelissaB]

4. I had no idea we had so many.

:kick:

[OneTwentyoNine]

5. Whoa!! Bump for Ben and Jerry's!! Must see..........n/t

[Jamnt]

6. I gotta go buy some ice cream now...

[DemoTex]

7. In 2003 Bu$h invaded a country that had no BBs .. Iraq.

But we were told that they did. Now, the Bu$h regime stands ready to attack another BB-less country, Iran. How long before we start using our BBs on some BB-less country?

8. Ben & Jerry, the ice creams guys, are a great non-profit 501(3)c

organization that give out many grants for various reasons. If it was anyone else making this BB claim, I'd be skeptical.

These guys are truly Americans.

[The Doctor.]

9. Great Post! K+R n/t

[IronLionZion]

10. I saw these years ago when someone on DU posted it

K+R for True Majority. Everyone should sign up for their monthly action alerts. Their social initiatives are something we should all agree on.

[johnnygirl]

11. Bullshit!

How did the ice-cream guys get access to count them?

B.S., B.S., B.S.

Looks impressive, but bullshit!

If we stick to the facts, we maintain credibility,something the right doesn't have today.

[Douglas Carpenter]

13. what part of that statement was factually inaccurate?

Here are some links with info on the US nuclear stockpile:

15. Welcome to DU

Enjoy your stay.

Oh, perhaps they took the total megatonnage published about the US arsenal and divided it by the size of the Hiroshima bomb to arrive at that figure.

[Douglas Carpenter]

16. great signature line you have

If the Democrats take the House this November

10 members of the Progressive Caucus would become chairmen of committees

John Conyers becomes Chairman of the Judiciary Committee

[hootinholler]

24. At that point the merde will encounter the ventilateur

Would he be able to hold the Judiciary committee chair and the speakership? Tough choice otherwise.

-Hoot

[Twist_U_Up]

26. That would be AWESOME!!

Some heads will roll . There is no way shrub lets 2006 elections happen,and if the elections do happen you can bet your ass that diebold will be playing a huge roll.

[Vickers]

17. "If we stick to the facts"

Heh.

Have you ever seen a nuclear weapon, or been to a nuclear weapon facility?

I have.

:P

[johnnygirl]

19. Yep, sure have ....

was just a Bangor last week, been employed by DOD for the last twenty four years,
what the hell does that have to do with the price of tea.
While you were at "a" weapons facility did you count all the warheads in the arsenal??
Unlike 99.9% of the people who are gaga when they see crap like that, you and I know better.

Bullshit on the # of BB's!

[Vickers]

21. "did you count all the warheads in the arsenal"

No, I was too busy working. :thumbsup:

If you've really worked for the DoD for the last 24 years in ANY weapons capacity, you know what the deal is, so I'm curious about your motives in this thread...

[johnnygirl]

22. motive is to point out ...

crap like that looks good to folks who don't have a clue, but diminishes our credibility.
When your trying to convince knowledgeable people credibility is vital. If you're just trying to
wow some high school kids.........well, it will probably do.

And no, "working in any weapons capacity" would probably not clue you in.

You know as well as I do that the number of warheads including status and location, is highly classified, so to pretend that some data
from 2002 recited by Ben and Jerry is accurate, is BULLSHIT.

Interesting read about current thinking.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/france/story/0,,1706776,00.html

What's your motive for supporting this kind of rubbish?

[Vickers]

25. Well, without knowing your level of involvement, and with my

unwillingness to reveal mine on a public board, we are at an impasse as regards this conversation.

My only question to you is:

How many BBs would *you* put in there?

Cheers.

[katinmn]

28. He wants to keep it Top Secret

Wouldn't want taxpayers knowing that 80 percent of our budget goes to collecting marbles while kids and elderly have no health care in the formerly richest country in the world.

[johnnygirl]

29. take a clue...

from the link I posted.


If you guys think ben and jerry have any idea, conversation is hopeless.

[katinmn]

30. I have the utmost respect for Ben and Jerry as responsible business people

I don't choose to converse with you, just correct you when you make outrageous comments.

Check out the links another posted provided. Educate yourself!

Now I'm putting you on ignore.

[johnnygirl]

31. I respect them too...as ice cream makers

Check out what links? the outdated ones provided?
Outrageous comments such as????
24 years in the field, I suppose I'm a little more educated than at least YOU on the subject.
(And not from reading "links".) Now put your fingers back in your ears, and cover your eyes....

We on the left suffer from credibility on this subject, and its painful to hear the laughs from
people who DO know the subject matter a little better than Ben and Jerry.

[flaminbats]

32. AMEN...who cares what the stinking truth is!?!?!

let's just keep re-electing these patriots and just ignore this freaking lefty bs.:hurts:.why should we expect anything in return for our tax money? :nopity:

[Douglas Carpenter]

12. that was awesome

[Douglas Carpenter]

14. K & R

[cyberpj]

18. Ross Perot won votes using graphics - I've tried telling Dems to do this.

People can easily understand such graphic ads and it has IMPACT.

A picture's worth a thousand words.

[katinmn]

20. Very creative and efffective way to communicate the truth!

:bounce:

[johnnygirl]

34. You again!

Very creative yes. Truth? How the hell do YOU know? With some people its like religion, believing this crap.
Never seen God but he's real. Only read some outdated links and been to some protests and believe its gospel.
Now put your fingers back in your ears.

[Auntie Bush]

23. Now that's funny! Just the other day I was wondering where Ben

was and thinking we need him do some new charts to show all the great things we could do for our country with the money we spend on defense.
Maybe his old charts would help the Fundies realize the extent to which they are being screwed!

[johnnyrocket]

27. Wow, the DOD waste ( and DOE for that matter ) is digusting

...beyond belief...

Couldn't the cons from a purely financial standpoint think "Gee trillions of wasted taxpayer money on weapons we don't need, will never use and have no deterring value."

Seems like a simple concept to me, I would gladly join with conservatives on massive DOD reductions on useless weapons systems...for a tax cut!
