Tell you what lets nuke every country on the earth because bad sh!t happens everywhere. Im not saying i condone this womans actions but at least she thought she was doing it for what she thought was a valid reason. I have heard of a lot of worse things happen for no reason.

ATOT is a fantastic place. 🙂

Its incredibly entertaining to ME. Much like how an arsonist can burn down and entire office building, and while everyone around runs around like chickens with their heads cut off, the arsonist just sits back and enjoys the show.
Thanks for the show ATOT. 🙂
 
Africans are just like the nazi's

I've now called Godwin and the thread is well and truly over.

STOP POSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

It's mankind, not just Africa. And who the hell are you to be so pompous as to "save" them?? it's you who need saving. Get out or shut up. Idiot.

Edit: lol, p.s. you're an idiot. 😀 haha, i just read over my post, i was really mad when i typed it.

Right, Bush is massacring thousands and thousands of innocent people. :roll: And HE's ignorant?

Well, can you disprove that? However, that's not the point. The point is that this sh!t happens all over the place but that doesn't mean that Shockwave's comments about Africa are correct. It shows his ignorance more than anyone elses.
 
Some one lock this thread and ban shockwave... this is an Off Topic forum but still those kind of remarks are not meant to be put here. Yes you are entitled to your opinion but that statement was horrible!!

Yes you are a dumbass. Keep your ignorant comments to yourself Shockwave lest people think you're a fool. Oh wait, too late.
 
Shockwave, you're a complete moron.

Actions of one person != actions of the members of an entire continent.
What you hear on the news != what else may actually be happening.

Remove your head from behind your monitor and get a grasp on the world.

That is all.
 
so is this woman black or white...South Africa has a lot of white Afrikaans (as they call themselves). Not that it really matters, but I'm curious.

Well, intentionally starting a flamewar is grounds for a banning. Maybe the mods should ban you?

This kind of thing happens in the US with disturbing regularity - remember Susan Smith, or Andrea Yates? - yet you don't hear many people calling for the wholesale destruction of North America. Your post shows an amazing level of ignorance and self-absorption.

Well, you don't hear many people in North America saying that. But elsewhere....

I suppose in that way Shockwave mirrors the attitude of people who want America destroyed.

I support the motion for his ban, temporary or otherwise.

I cant make general statements about eniter CONTINENTS? Thats odd... Isnt like I singled out Jews or whites or blacks or Koreans or Eskimos. I dont see people shouting far bans when someone says Microsfot sucks.
So, its ok to say blanket negative statements about an entire company, but not an entire continent.
Thats interesting. Your double standard intrigues me.

There is a dif between saying XYZ product sucks and saying ABC PEOPLE suck. Can you see the distinction between the two? It is hardly a double standard. I can say "that rock is stupid", but I shouldn't say "Shockwave is stupid" less I hurt your feelings (*GASP*) and insult you as a human being (we all have the right to be treated like one on some level, even the worst of us).

I'm far from one to be politically correct, but your statement in your OP is simply a bit ignorant, uneducated, harsh and bluntly put, wrong.

Your latter statements/suggestions of simplying trolling for a flame war do certainly warrant a temp ban of some nature... those are the rules. Live by the sword and die by the sword.
