This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Declaring war on a concept has never gone well for the states, has it? Drugs, terror, women, the list goes on.

The war against woman is sadly going strong right now. More than drugs and etc ever has.

The US isn't known for winning wars historically.

Matter of perspective. Ask halliburton how's it going...

Seems like it has worked pretty well:

  1. Vietnam/Korea/etc - most people hate communism
  2. War on Drugs - police get to arrest minorities, and felons don't get to vote (suppress minority vote)
  3. War on Terror - PATRIOT Act is still alive and well, it just has different names now

With the right perspective, they seem pretty successful to me, you just need to peek behind the curtain.

Declaring war on anything. They need the Europeans to invite them to the final hours of one to chalk a W.

I'm holding out hope that we can still turn it around and defeat Santa Claus
