    You are wrong on three counts:

    - angry
    - white
    - victim

    But thanks for trying.

    What planet do you live on? It receives daily loud criticism, and largely with good reason, given the behavior of its radicals.

    Just because some of us don't like to post about over
    and over, and over
    doesn't mean we aren't critical.

    Honestly, in this forum, there's little room to criticized islam. The slots are all taken up by one or two posters.

    The number of slots is not limited.

    That's like saying the "Lin Only Fan" slots are taken up by one or two posters. As if that had stopped the 1241254 other ones.

    I don't know but I'm guessing the premise is acknowledging that those events will forever shape what people think. To think that people would think differently after that is a stretch. Concerning recent events I guess it does have a point.

    We do have a problem with angry, depressed, white males in this country. One of them even took out 23 kids in an elementary school with an AR. 9/11 perps weren't americans though, that is why we took the war to afghanistan.


    I don't know how I feel about this though, just thought I'd share an image I saw.

    Yeah, because people in South America and Spain were never some of the most ruthless people in the world at periods of time in history... derp

    actually white Christian males led the fight to end slavery in the West (appealing to Christian values no less), but that's irrelevant to the threats we face today

    If thats what you really believe happened I don't even know what to tell you. It was more political and economical than anything. Hell there are more verses taken out of context from the bible as a way of encouraging slavery than anything. I actually had to write a paper on it and was astounded. If you want I can dig up all the citations later.

    lol @ Kat, and almost all of them.

    Did I ever mention the large scale killing of the native americans that took place due to white christian males?

    Repeatedly kicking them off settlements because they wouldn't conform to right values and were too savage...ultimately ending in the trail of tears that resulted in countless dead.....



















    I hope you get my point correlation doesn't always = causation. I have to explain my rhetoric because a lot of people on here don't always cue in.

    Beats slitting peoples throats and throwing them off temples. Don't forget the millions upon millions that met that death...

    And that wasn't from 1 white man.

    True, aztecs were barbaric but when you go there under the guise of a guest and end up killing and entire race of people...I think I know who is worse in this scenario. Almost every single european traveler did their best to j*zz in blankets and pass it around before giving it to the natives so they would contract small pox and other diseases. The numbers of those that died because of that are monumental.

    the need to reach back centuries for moral equivalence is quite telling

    It's pretty telling the lengths (literally) that people have to go to.

    The need to white wash centuries of history as moral amnesia is quite telling.

    I've been traveling and haven't been able to follow the news so much but has it been determined why these guys picked the Marathon as a target? Also what they were doing at MIT when they shot the cop?

    It seems to me that if they were picking an anti-American target in Boston there are other targets that would have a much greater symbolic impact such as the USS Constitution. As shown by all the flags flying the Marathon was an international event so was this a matter of them just picking an event with the largest crowd?

    It wasn't just Aztecs who practiced human sacrifices by the masses...

    And the practice of mass human sacrifices far exceeds any thing done by European settlers in America.

    Not saying the treatment towards Indians in America was right by any means.

    But lets not distort history here, sir.

    We get it, you hate white people.

    Earlier reports said that the bombs were fairly simple and that information about how to make them were fairly wide spread. I am not an expert on bomb making but I think a lot more needs to be known before determining that these guys couldn't have figured out how to make these bombs themselves.
