<< Since you're basing your comments of towel-head on bin laden's appearance and he highly resembles millions of other people it instantly throws them into the same degraded mix >>

Are you saying that all Arabs look alike? That's a naughty! Shame on you!


Don't turn this around on me. You've still not answered my question about whether you'd publically refer to blacks in their derogatory term in the same sort of context as how you refer to Arabs. I said millions of other people resemble Bin Laden. They do. And millions don't. I didn't say "all arabs look alike". You did. Most men in Afghanistan have to have a long beard and most wear similar clothing. What is wrong with that observation? 'Resemble' can be specific or not specific at all, but its not outright offensive.

Skoorb the reason he doesn't address your points is that he doesn't have a leg to stand on. If he wants to live in his world of blissful isolated ignorance let him. I'm just glad people have made it clear that displaying it is unacceptable here.

<< Whats the PC term for Rednecks? I don't think they really have one. Except really-dumb-usually-from-the-south-type-people-who-still-hate-blacks-etc. You can't just say Southern Americans because that makes it sound like everyone in the south is a redneck which isn't true plus there is a few in the north and souther americans also sounds like south americans. Boy, that one is confusing. >>


Whew! After reading that post, the question is what's the term for missed-grammar-and-puncuation-classes-everyday? Oh, yeah, it's moron.
>>


Don't change the subject.
Tell me Carbo, if this war were to expand to include... Somalia, let's say, would that make it okay to say "Let's kill all those awesome people!!"? Answer that, and we'll really know where you stand.
Your position is indefensible. Give it up.
