The heck with the Iraqis, Saddam, their government, and their religion.
Letting the Iraqis have a voice in world relations simply because they exist is like letting a ford escort race NASCAR simply because it shows up at the track.
They are behind in times. The modern countries are flourishing in technological achievement (not that it is always a good thing) and here we have stupid little Iraq and the rest of the moronic Islamic what-the-fvck-ever countries screwing around in the Middle Ages while they praise to some god.
The fact that they continue to reproduce at normal rates is a perfect and perhaps the simplest example of their lack of civilized manner and intelligence.
There are 6.3 BILLION people on the earth; and that count is increasing at an exponential rate. Do people really believe that technology is going to outpace human ignorance and somehow we are going to find a way to continually fit people among the land and provide enough resources? In fact, LACK of resources is probably what will curb human growth rather than our own directed effort. Christ, in countries that have abundant resources, people cannot even control their own weight.
When will people realize that humans are not special? Claiming title of being civilized should mean that one understands that all humans have to take a certain responsibility regarding biological development and reproduction.
Yes, it would be great if everyone on earth could live happily ever-after in a peaceful world. Sadly, that does not happen and will not happen. As mentioned, humans are flawed. There might always be that "wrench in the system". If that wrench is left in the system simply because "it exists" or "it's already there" is a terrible move that will only cause additional problems in the future.
Ya know what, I just want to throw this in right now. Those fvckers who killed Nick Berg need to die. Yes, die. Killed. Murdered. Slain. I think someone should offer a reward to any who captures video of those men being fed into an industrial-sized wood chipper, feet first, very slowly.
They claim they killed Nick because some hot-headed soldiers made some men get naked and masturbate. Jesus fvcking Christ. Here, I'll tell you what. Go on Kazaa, and you can see a whole bunch of men (and women) doing every type of sexual act you can think of. BIG FRIKKIN' DEAL.
Who knows what the real story was behind the abuse. Maybe the officer who ordered some of those techniques lost a buddy to one those asshole's RPG attacks. Maybe those men being abused are confirmed to have actually taken up arms against US troops. Maybe the MP's were extremely burnt out, tired of Iraq, tired of the people, tired of all the bullshit, and couldn't care less about a bunch of people who think they have a right to life. Sad, but true.
Yet, here we have a bunch of uncivilized terrorists with absolutely no concept of the current state of the world, taking a man (Nick Berg) who wanted nothing more than to help bring Iraq into the 21st century, cut his head off, and claim it was for a worthy cause and equal to actions of the United States. Real smart. Not.
Someone tell me what the frik is up with people and religion? Not just those freaks over in Iraq, Israel, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, and where-the-fvck-ever... but also world-wide?
It's one thing to simply have a belief in what life is and live your life accordingly. It's another thing to run around with RPGs, rising up against American soldiers because they get close to a mosque.
Religion is such a joke these days. Everyone thinks "their" religion is the correct one (otherwise, they would obviously be practicing another type). Yet, religion is just a set of beliefs people are mostly born into.
Take a new born child from Israel, stick it in a non-religious family (which does not prohibit their children?s decisions) in Europe, and he will grow up to form his OWN beliefs about the world and universe. He would not be brain-washed from the day he was born like many people are in these ancient nations living in the past. They only serve to repeat a cycle of rinse and repeat, generation after generation, continually preventing the society around them from progressing forward to the most possible (at the current state of time) modern understanding of life itself.
Killing is justifiable at times because being born does not grant anyone a right to life. Unfortunately, current law says otherwise for the time being.
Again, the problem is that humans have not modernized at an equal pace. Unfortunately, that's life. Yes, it's sad. You know what's also sad? That fact that humans continue to kill animals for pleasure or other idiotic reasons (such as to the claim their bones for ancient medicinal use).
I recently read an article somewhere on the net about some pet shop owner in some undeveloped country that had animals kept in very, very, very small cages. Decent sized cats in containers the size of a shoe box. Puppies so cramped up in a cage that they were stacked on top of each other?
What purpose? Who the fvck knows? That little man somehow believes that being human grants him the right to life even if it means exploiting the weakness of other life forms on this earth. Unfortunately, that pet shop was in some country that has no laws regarding animal treatment, therefore he claims he will not change his practice.
I often hear people talk of animals like they are worthless pieces of trash. I see animals caged up for the sole purpose of providing humans with eye candy and entertainment.
Well, I'll tell you what. There is one moment in time that I wish I could be witness to (if it ever takes place). It's when advanced extra-terrestrials discover planet earth. The catch is that the intelligence (and technology) barrier between them and us is the same ratio found between us and animals.
What that means is that they (the extra-terrestrials) would be so far beyond our level of intelligence that we would be nothing more than "animals" to them... just as we see the creatures on this planet as just "animals". We would then be treated subsequently. Separated. Caged up. Abused. Hunted. Took to strange places. All the morons on the planet would be trying to figure out why this was happening even though the answer is right in front of them.
You are probably wondering what this has to do with Iraq. The connection is that there simply are people who exist who have not any concept of intelligent, civilized life. These people over in Iraq (both the terrorists and civilians) are the sad result of branched human development. While attempting to bring an entire country out of ancient times into the modern world may be possible, sacrafices are without a doubt acceptable and unavoidable. These people need to look at the pinnacle members of the world and modify their worldview when needed.
You are probably about to ask, well... how do I know what the pinnacle of our species is? Well, the answer is, I don't. However, my respect rests with those members of our species who are part of every step of the ladder towards advancing our understanding of the universe, biology, and life itself.
Developing advanced outer-space transportation concepts. Protecting the environment. Reaching out further into the universe. Dwelling beyond the atom. Conquering aging and biological weakness.
These are just some of the basic issues I would think would qualify as being very important to the future of all humans.
I should hope that those who truly strive to achieve such goals are seen to be among the zenith of our society and are supported in every fashion.
Or we can all just forget applicable behavior. Let's all go grab Rocket-Propelled-Grenades and run around with towels on our heads blowing sh|t up, cutting people's heads, practicing worn out religious beliefs, forgetting realistic world-views.. all in the name of some god off some scripture that some ancient people simply wrote down for kicks.
You decide.
The United States needs to capture one of these terrorist sh|theads, stick him in front of a CNN camera, and ask him, "WHAT ARE YOU FIGHTING FOR?"
You know how he'll most likely reply? With a bunch of bullsh|t pertaining to god, religion, and whatever other worthless ideas those people apparently believe in. (Yes, I call them worthless ideas because of their current state of life. Gee, GOD has done so much for them, huh?)
It won't be anything regarding achieving lasting peace, improved resource production, better understanding of the universe, anti-aging, advancements in medicine, disease eradication, etc.. etc..
The Middle East is all jacked up. I am so glad to be a part of America; to have been able to form my own view of life; to not have been "born" into a religion; to not be part of a people who are just slaves to a group-think society; to enjoy the luxury of technology (with certain respects to cause and effect); to be part of a democratic government; to have access to great educational resources; and the list goes on.
Does America have problems? Yes. There are tons of things wrong with America. Does every other country have problems? Yes. Why? As mentioned, the flaw is human.
Maybe the Iraqis want to go back to three censored television stations, no internet, no free speech, no good educational system, harsh punishments for violations of the system, etc....
Sure does not sound like a place I'd like to live. If that's what they really want, then more power to them. If they are so smart, let's pull out and let them figure it all out. Captain, I need warp speed, pronto!
