ziggytrix We need a fundamental shift in human consciousness from "us against them" to "us for us."

I'm not exactly holding my breath.

Emu I think we need some kind of disaster, like a meteor or a nuclear winter or a dragon attack to make us all hide underground or in large castles where our leader is a bearded man with a gun whom we can all unite under.

FS hide ALL the guns

Archduke Tips Why was it retarded?
May 17th, 2005 01:09 AM
Helm what abcdxxxx said.
May 17th, 2005 01:04 AM
Abcdxxxx Either way you still end up being the dope saying retarded shit.
May 16th, 2005 07:15 PM
Archduke Tips Let's just regard what I said as a magical fairy. You have to believe or it will die.
May 16th, 2005 07:09 PM
ziggytrix Geeze, that's like askin your girl if she came... I mean shit, you ought to know.

So you are saying it is retarded to clarify things that are obvious? Thankyou for clarifying that.

I wish that were true, but you really can't assume either in a country full of people who get offended when you suggest that we are equal (rather than superior) to other countries.

Also, I'm pretty sure Russo was being sracstic. If not, then that is the most beautiful bit of "found comedy" I've ever been blessed to read.

That's the single most retarded thing I've heard all day. It's going in the sig.

Helm yes, thank you Russo, for your valuable contributions to this thread. Now go ask your mother to tell you what to do for the rest of the evening.
May 16th, 2005 11:34 AM
AngPur For the love of Zod tell me you're attention whoring and/or sarcastic. Saying that 'some Muslims are bad, so they all must DIE' is like saying 'some Christians killed innocents in Kosovo, so they all must DIE'.
May 16th, 2005 11:09 AM
Archduke Tips The Islamic world is an enemy to all reasonable humans, and they should be treated like that.

I don't see why we even consider pandering to their will just because they are upset that some Americans in an unsubstantiated story may or may not have desecrated a Quran.

Then they go and burn American flags. Instead of empowering these people we should massacre them and build our own society on their ruins.

Unfortunately, America is poisoned with the taint of ethics so we rarely do what is right.

Abcdxxxx I think this outreach stuff is a little bit like teaching sensitivity training. It's more about covering your ass and looking like you're fixing a problem rather then resolving the root cause of the issue itself.

AChimp When I think about druids, I think Vercingetorix. And when I think about Vercingetorix, I think Christopher Lambert.

ziggytrix My point? We got enough hate in this world.

Quote:
"It's very important for American Muslims to be involved, as they're an important conduit to the wider Islamic world and they should be speaking out," the second U.S. official added. "But American Muslims generally feel they're not included like other communities. We should be talking to them, as they have a lot of knowledge of the region."
What's so fricken terrible about that?

We wouldn't even be having this conversation if it wasn't for actions occuring in the Middle East. The Middle East is the core of being a Muslim, no matter where you are in the world you face the Middle East, dude.

You don't have to be a hardline fanatic to have skepticism about the sincerity of a Bush government, or anyone who would allign themselves with the US Government policies. It simply goes against
everything being taught in Muslim communities of EVERY stripe.

Hate crimes are up against Jews too. What's your point?

Angpur - If it's not about skin color, then we might as well train our existing State employees to speak Arabic, and understand the culture. I'd say that would do more good for everyone then a few token hirings.

Well, I was using the phrase a bit sarcastically. It’s more along the lines of the Vietnam ‘win their hearts and minds’ idea. I mean, hell, in the first Gulf War we had a military alliance between some Middle Eastern states and some very pro-Israeli states. Staunch standoffishness is fine for the terrorists, but not every Muslim deserves that stance.

We also have a lot of white people in the government, and that doesn't appease the KKK over the presence of Condi and Powell. It’s not really a matter of what skin color the representatives have so much as how much they know about the culture in question.
