I hear you and heres the thing with this Fraud. Little Hitler of Iran, in the recent past, wanted to visit the WTC site, and this is just after he had a 'death to america' rally in Iran the night before and Franchiseblades response was "sure why not, I don't see why not' Now this was just a few days after Franchiseblade was asking in a roundabout way for clutch to ban me for responding to a few other frauds(thadeus and azadre) for saying '**** the troops'. and here all I said was 'yeah you both are liberal scum and so on' but never did I wish for their death or violent harm upon them and he wants to know if my response was justification for banishment. me an american with no ill will upon anyone so far. yet we have the little hitler of iran holding rallies asking for mass murder of americans which means killing your brother, your sister, your mother, father, daughter, every single one of them and he ACTUALLY has the power to see it through and franchiseblades response to him wanting to visit the WTC site was "sure, I don't see why not' right after wondering whether me an American should be banned for calling someone a 'liberal scum' for saying "**** the troops' Seriously I'm getting so sick of it I can barely stomach it anymore.
Did you think he was an ******* when he said 'Christians are the cause of the worlds hunger problems?' Prolly not huh?
I don't know if he's an a-hole, but he definitely comes across as someone who takes joy and comfort in reaching conclusions about things he knows very little about. It's easy for him to make blanket generalizations, anything not "his" is evil and worthy of destruction. He's equally zealous about his views, yet has no problem admonishing others for them; he doesn't recognize the irony of it all. He's a self-anointed judge of all things 'right' and 'evil' in the world, and you're a Nazi if you disagree. His Internet persona cracks me up. Oh, and welcome back TS, long time no see...
You're a lying sack of ****. Post example of this, before you go running your mouth without any proof. I have no problem with Islam, and in fact several of my friends are Muslim. I have a problem with terrorists and their supporters.
I just have a random question I want to throw out there. Not accusing anyone of anything but it's just something I've noticed a lot. Why is it when someone accuses someone of something like that, their response is always "several of my friends are _____" I'm not necessarily saying it's not true, but what's up with that?
Don't hijack threads, sweetie-pie. If one was truly anti-Muslim, they probably wouldn't have too many Muslim friends. duh.
The best summary of what the administration did, is doing and will do. Sadlly not many ppl understand this or care to understand this.
I don't have to ask in a round about way to have you banned. I can report a post of yours if I think it is ban worthy. I never wanted you banned. I haven't wanted anyone banned. You are mistaken. You are correct that I didn't see a reason to forbid the President of Iran from visiting the site. I can see why I wouldn't like him to be there. I wouldn't. But I don't think there is any reason to ban him officially from going. Of course if you had read the threads in question you would know that nobody was saying **** the troops to troops in general. I would never defend such a thing as my nephew is Marine who served in Iraq, my father was in the Navy in WWII(back when we were fighting a real Hitler, and not a powerless President of a nation that is only the third largest threat to the region). Hitler killed over 6 million Jews, The president of Iran has done and is not capable of doing anything close to it. The comparison is an insult to those that suffered in the holocaust.
The cold war was not all hype and propaganda. The Propaganda was talking about how "evil" and the hype about how high the risk actually was. It was frenzied and hysterical.
Can you read? Nowhere did I put Ahmadinejad above the U.S or American lives. That is one of the silliest things I've ever seen and it doesn't come from anything I've written on this site or anywhere else. Please show me where I said that if you can.
I've never sided with either person over our nation. In fact I've voiced my opposition when this administration has taken steps moving toward similar types of power grabs.
It is truly hilarious that lil t is such a delicate flower that he can't handle reading the posts of one of the most level-headed, well spoken posters on this bbs.
I've just read through this thread and I found this particularly troubling. The problme is that if you want to successfully combat radical Islam the different branches are very important. As others have noted Iran is Shia and Al Qaeda is Sunni. While they both are hostile to the US they are also mutually hostile to each other. To simply lump them together just guarentees they hate us more than they do each other so rather than having an opportunity to make them fight each other they fight us. For instance early on in the invasion of Afghanistan we had an understanding with Iran that they would lend aid to US pilots who might crash in Iranian territory and that they wouldn't support the Taliban who they hated and for the most part they honored that agreement. Now that we are engaged in a war of words with Iran though they have less impetus to help and work against the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Another example is what happened to Al Qaeda in Iraq. While Al Qaeda and the Iraqi Sunnis were both Sunnis there were key differences. Al Qaeda overplayed their hand and some US commanders were smart enough to understand that and exploit those differences to win Sunni warlords over to ourside. Now these Iraqi Sunnis hated us (probably still do), killed many of us and we killed many more of them but by understanding that they weren't the same as Al Qaeda we were able to win them over. Just lumping all radical Islamists as terrorists just makes it harder for us to combat them and guarentees that we are likely to create as many terrorists as we kill since from the Muslim standpoint we are waging a war on Islam rather than terrorists and there is no reason to cooperate.
