I'm confused as to the use of the Hero tag.

Kome: I'm confused as to the use of the Hero tag.

damnit, i was hoping someone in the thread would tell me who the hero is here.

burndtdan:

tell me who the hero is here.

Iron Man. The kickassness is seeping into other thread's tags.

The Hero tag must be there because Corporate Welfare is more important than a few poor people eating?

so much trolling lately....

GurneyHalleck: The Hero tag must be there because Corporate Welfare is more important than a few poor people eating?

Yep. Poor people eating is socialism.

IRONIC

so... without the Iraq sink we could feed the world for 4+ years?

Why didn't he do this in his first 100 days instead of his last six months?

Oh right, because he doesn't really believe in it.

So Bush actually does something good?

Wow I'm impressed.

/Go Bushy
//But I still hate you

My sarcasm detector just asploded

/HERO
//...and a damn GENIUS

Food is cheaper than bullets.

And here we go.....

/keep your goddamned popcorn I'm out.

I am being overly cynical, but at this point I just assume most of this money will somehow find its way to Monsanto and ADM.

Mission Accomplished.

/Hooray for Prezident Stoopid!

Obviously we aren't spending enough in Iraq if we can feed those leeches with two days worth of money.

Silly farkers, the hero tag is for the American people, who by seer will of ignorance allow this kind of cognitive dissonance to occur.

Now put on this lepel pin and stfu.

Food Fight?

Does he win a cookie?

I never out myself on my greenlit links...until now. I submitted this with the asinine tag.

I'd rather it went to kill more Iraqs..!!

Can I have some food?

Aarontology: Yep. Poor people eating is socialism.

No it's not, it's Utilitarianism.

Oh wait, I thought you meant "eating the poor people".

At this point Bush could pull me out of a burning building and I'd still give him a cockpunch.

oh good, now all the neocons have something to complain about (again).

Maybe the hero tag was used sarcastically?

Anyone still supporting this waste of space has some serious mental retardation.

Wow. I guess you scientists didn't read the article. imagine that.
it's easy if you try, dick.

buried_alive: I never out myself on my greenlit links...until now. I submitted this with the asinine tag.

Heh, wow. I used to be a greenlight whore, and I would have HERO'd this one all the way.

So why not just stop the war for a couple days? Keep all the soldiers in the green zone for a weekend. No excursions, no patrols. We save the money and find out what Iraq would be like if we left. We may have to make it three days so we can still feed the soldiers though.

Perfect!

lies!!

Since the rest of the world and half of fark hates the USA, why don't we just keep the 770 million here in the USA?

meatofmystery: so much trolling lately....

It's no longer distinguishable from what those on the right really say.

Behold, the old, overly simplistic and wrong "guns vs. butter" argument. Because there's no way that increased stability in the Middle East can ever lead to more food.

Edsel: Aarontology: Yep. Poor people eating is socialism.

No it's not, it's Utilitarianism.

Oh wait, I thought you meant "eating the poor people".

Utilitarian. Socialist. Call it what you want, but I like the term "delicious" for eating poor people.

Just cook the dead turrists in Iraq and feed it to the hungry, duh!

Hero tag, really?

cheezburgers for some, little american flags for others.

Given that the economy is doing so well, I say let's just load cash into shipping containers and run supertankers to impoverished nations nonstop for a month.

For the birds, I say.

Would someone please invade us now.

Sad to think that those who portend to rule us have just figured out that it costs less to feed someone food than bullets.

Now, if they would figure out that us 'barely have anythings' would like to afford some food, we could really be getting somewhere.

Ah, f*ck it. I just don't have the energy.


/flame on

How about we pay off the national debt before doing things like this?

I hate to sound like a jerk, but right now we need less compassion and more (real) conservatism.

...got something in my pocket...

Fark just ain't worth it... I'm done with fark I think.

yeah

So what is Haliburton's cut of this 770 million? I'm assuming they will be awarded the no-bid contract to distribute the food.

defects: Since the rest of the world and half of fark hates the USA, why don't we just keep the 770 million here in the USA?

770 million in food aid or the 770 for two days of the crusade?

conquest6744: Wow. I guess you scientists didn't read the article. imagine that.
it's easy if you try, dick.

I only tried once, I swear...
/It was easy...
