Of course this thread sux. You just can't win against George Bush's supporters. People are looking for a better future but people who supported George W Bush wants the world to go to hell.
I'm not typically a GWB supporter, but I am anti-Kerry and anti-media bias, in which the AP misquoted Bush. Part of the world is already in Hell. Look at the D&D thread entitled, "Gay Marriage Arguments" in which Sane (I think) is speaking from out-of-the US and saying that he follows the Islamic-religion and that leads him to believe that homosexuals deserve death. The world is not going to go to hell because of a US President, but because of a conflict of religions.
You're partially wrong on that and need to look back to the history on LEADERS. Not always true. A good and dedicated president knows how to balance himself and creates positives not negatives. Religious is just an excuse and isn;t written in stone. The problem with some Islamic religion like the guy Sane for instant is the word I use is "suppress". That totally p!sses off one of my muslim friend when I told him that because it's totally true to certain extent.
Link to video: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0805042bush1.html LOL1! Does this guy even know what he is saying or does he just 'attempt' to read what is put in front of him. It sure didn't look like he realised that he had messed up.
Saad, since you are a junior member I will be nice and try and explain this in a pleasant way. The Hangout is for light hearted stuff (mostly) and Debate and Discuss is for articles that result in poo flinging. The reason for this divide is because the Hangout started to get overrun... So, as the outer part of the Hangout states: BBS Hangout Want to talk about music, places, people, a big ass Gordita or just any interest BBS users may have in common outside of the Rockets or specified forums -- this is the place. Politics, Religion, Race? Not here - Take that to "Debate & Discussion" BBS Hangout: Debate & Discussion Monkeys flinging poo at each other. Politics, Religion, Race and other heated topics you wouldn't fire away on in polite conversation. Not for the weak of heart, but keep it civilized or you'll get the heave. That way you can see how the professionals do it. Enjoy!
I guess... I didn't know this would create a huge discussion though. It was just a simple mishap of the tongue and now everyone is going crazy over it. Sorry for misplacing the thread.
Um, hello. You have to think of ways the ship can sink so you can have contingency plans. I see nothing wrong with what he said.
