Quote (from Blip Blop on Head Scarf Thread)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nobody cares about your hate. There are 1.5 billion Muslims in the world and you judge the actions of a dozen of them and judge all Muslims by those actions. You should be banned for life for that comment.

Exactly. And its surprising how myopic most of these highschool cowboys are. They feel exasperation for the first time, suffering the pain that comes from being powerless - and yes, my friends, despite what Papa Gimp says, the US is defenseless against guerilla warfare - and they want to obliterate the whole of the EAST.

And why do they feel this? Because people, whether justified in their action or not, feel the EXACT same exasperation from U.S foreign policy. Their powerlessness is easily channeled - LIKE YOURS IS - into a generalized hatred of the whole of the WEST.

See the parallel? It should, if anything comfort you, to know that this is an example of how SIMILAR we are with them, not how polarized we are. Let's be the wiser bunch, if that's what makes us so proud. Why retaliate and deal with it as they do? What has Sharon, with his eye-for-an-eye stance, been able to accomplish. Use it as a goddamn example.

It all boils down to this - America is the hunted for the FIRST time, and we just don't know how to deal with it!

Defenseless I don't think so remember there have been no attacks since 9/11 on US soil a big achievement if you ask me and
on that Bush doesn't seem to get any credit for!

You do realize that it took them over two years to plan the first attack? Overconfidence is a serious failure.

One attack every two years will not bring us down and times they be a little different now. I'm not saying things won't happen
but with the patriot act things won't be quite so easy. You said we are defenseless and I disagree but I know were not impenetrable.

Americans are myopic? Hmmm....let me think. Our God is greater than yours. You anger us because we anger you so we will kill you, even if it means senselessly killing ourselves in the name of our God. That's pretty damn myopic in my opinion and let me tell you, I'm not talking about the average American in those sentences.

A thought ...

"My god is greater and he will give me the strength to kill you, your family and neighbors, in order to prove it"

..VS..

"My god is greater and he will give me the strength to love you, provide for you and see to your needs, in order to prove it"

God ordered some kids' brains to be dashed out on rocks because they made fun of an old man, didn't they?

that is absolutely brilliant... seriously... the way i feel about the whole situation and no one else seems to get - and don't act like bush had alot to do with any sort of prevention or policies for this sort of thing - these polices have been in effect for decades... and on the other hand - bush never had any sort of ability to do anything to stop really anything

Not just because he was old...because he was BALD! Show them frigging kids who's boss...he had a bear come out and kill something like 20 kids! :D Next time you see a bald guy on the street...remember, God doesn't like people who make fun of his bald children! :beer::D:beer:

Edit: They killed 3000 of us. How many have we killed of them? Hopefully more than 3000...;)

A Christian blew up the Oklahoma City Federal building, therefore all Christians blow up builiding and kill people... (poor attempt at an analogy...)
