If you have to ask so a rediculus question of such a horrendus proposition you really don't know me.

Well I've never met you and only read some of your recent posts on AT so i can't really say I "know" you particularly well! ;)

chiwawa626 "Musilims feel for eachother because they have somehting in common"

That's an interesting observation. Do you think then that Christians or Catholics do not feel that same bond? Is that "somehting in common" the Muslims have something for the west to be concerned about? Or in other words, can bin Laden turn this into a world wide religious war of the Muslims vs everyone else. If not, why try to make the point that you did?

I called it a horrendus propostion.

What does that tell you?

And you should know something after this many posts.

I already nailed Luckster. You notice he didn't deny my accusations.

Thanks - I do try...well sometimes I don't like when my entire post might be only "Your mom.". I'm not really trying then.

Skoorb- rotflmao------i agree that is not really trying!



MSNY- amazing how you and I probably started out on differing sides but we probably ended up closer to agreement.

and I do agree with your last statement....wholeheartedly.


HotChic- explain to me again how this relates to drivers licenses? (In complete sincerity I ask this of you)

Oh shut your mouth about denying accusations, you have run like a little baby from me in so many threads I cant even count em. Your "accusations" are nothing but the ranting wishes of a baby who can do nothing better than troll in a legitamate thread.

Now shut the hell up if you have nothing to say on-topic.

Still rehashing that tired line?


You sir are a gutless coward to prey upon the raw emotions of a few people right after the attack.

Your anti-war stance is in the minority no matter how self righteous your posts become.

That tired line only serves to show how idiotic you are. Explain how I am preying on raw emotions? And explain how this is right after the attack? Last time I checked, its been roughly 5 weeks since 9/11. Do you have a calender?

Dont even try to call me anti-war. I've showed my support for the war in many, many threads, and Im not about to re-hash it for a troll like you.

Want to be confused?

I'm pro-choice and pro-gun but not pro automatic weapons.

I'm heavily for the military and I recycle twice a week.

I'm for a national ID card in wake of this tragedy and I'm a stanch advocate for personal privacy.


You are harder to read than Luckster mainly because you are not so blatently obvious. That is to say, your IQ is obviously in the triple digits.

You lean left but are sometimes moderate.

You are not a fan of American policy but you respect other opinions.

You are not afraid to share your opinion about the reactions of a few hotheads but you don't use that to justify making yourself feel better like Luckster.


How am I doing? :)

Do you really think 5 weeks is enough time for all people to get over 6000 deaths? My God you are even more cold than I thought.

You are anti-war. And if you still say you are not, find one thread, just one you started that was pro-war without any strings attached attacking other's opinions.

Just one.

Don't you think you should make a distinction between Arab Muslims and non-Muslim Arabs in your original question?

Well, the posts that motivated me to make this thread did not distinguish them, so I did not think about that. Also, logically, it would be quite hard to prove what one's religion was if they did not want to admit it in the face of a government round-up.

<------ Doubting your "Patriotism" right now....what are you gonna do about it?


What would you like to be done, motor mouth? I'm available antime, you chicken sh!t piece of snail slime.



Don't go confusing being a Patriot with being a Pvssy.

I'm not confussed at all. Only a pussy would challenge me behind a keyboard and then not follow it up.

like I said, anytime.

I posted this in the other thread but it was ignored & now I see even more talk about internment camps! I vote NO. I have heard one on this forum say not to question his patriotism because he served in Vietnam. That's well and good but one's service in Vietnam does not give the right to deny the patriotism of others. That's what I say... as a Vietnam era vet and a disabled Desert Storm vet...so, here's my thoughts again:

"This is war. If round eyed blonde headed white skinned people are targets, I could care less if every middle eastern person was interned. It may be for thier safety as well as ours."

I am middle eastern in ancestry and I look exactly like my late Jordanian parents. I was born and raised here though and am 100% American. I am a medically retired US Army Medical Corps officer - top graduate of many of the US Army's top schools. You however are suggesting it would be OK for me to be interned?

Would you like every member of government of middle eastern ancestry removed from office, from civil service, from the military and interned?

You suggest my daughter should be jerked out of college & interned? You'd better come steal the DFC out of my curio cabinet, my commission off my wall, my step-son's west point sword as you try to do it.... but you should also realize that the moment you try to do that you destroy all that we stand for as a nation..

I knew you wouldn't answer my challenge to find just one pro-war thread you started without rediculing anyone else's stance. And your no answer to my analysis of your simplistic elitest personality defines the old line, "silence is golden".

You are simply proving what I have said all along. You are a gutless coward who feeds on raw emotional statements just to make yourself feel better.

I'm going out now. Thanks for the laugh Luckster. You're everything I said you were...and less. :)

That's what I thought...you aren't going to do squat.

And I thought you said I had better be prepapred to "protect myself" if I questioned your "Patriotism.

Well I just did!!

FrysInsider- Back off dude.

The technology to allow people to reach thru internet connections and throttle the dumb@ss user on the othe end hasn't been developed yet.


Which I am pretty sure is all that stands between you and a serious ass kicking.

Most computer geeks take solace in the fact that they cannot be touched in the cyberworld....but in the real world they are just first rate pvssy's. Sound familiar?

Post something constructive...that is all I am asking.

I hope internment is never used. Just as I hope no harm comes to you or your family because of the ancestory you share. But that cannot be guarenteed. That is the reality that has been foisted upon all of us under the name of Allah by the likes of Osama ans Saddam. I will say this one more time for your benifit.
It is incumbant upon all middle eastern muslum people who are offended by the actions of 09/11 to state loudly and cleaerly their disdain , to there neighbors and anyone who will here them. Write letters to your newspaper. Write letters to my newspaper. Make it clear your feelings and position so that there can be no mistake you are against the actions of these terrorists that have besmearched your good name and standing.

Those that do not heed this call, will be fair game to those who are seeking to find middle eastern people to persecute, or perhaps even worse, as some irrational people have done to blacks here in the US. I have already sited the caliber of people that are capable of this by relating the true story of that black man drug to his derath chained to the bumper of a pick up truck driven by some red neck ass holes who thought they were doing society a favor. Damn it. This is reality. There are people sitting around plotting a away to hurt a middle eastern person probably right now as you read this. And no doubt a middle eastern person is licking the stamp on the next anthrax infected envelope.

Internment is not a pleasent thought, but it has been done before and could happen again. I will re state the sceneroio that would do it.Suitcase nuke detonted in a major city,and I guarentee, all people of middle eastern decent who are innocent will beg for protection. That would be in an internment camp.

That is the climate we are in. That is the things think tanks dream up, and then report those options and scenerios to government and military leaders.

I have an Iraqi neighbor. The nicest man you would want to know. Much of what I say is based on his fears and concerns as well. These are hard and trying times for him and people like him. He has told me so. He also detests what Osama did and vows he would kill him with his bare hands if he could. It is from discussions with him and his wife, and reletives I have who work for Rand that I brought the subject up. I'm sorry it disturbs you. It also disturbs me.

Watching a hijacked jet desinegrate in the WTC on 9/11 at 9:30 A.M. was even more disturbing to me. And news stories day and night about anthrax is also taking its toll.

Just what the terrorists wanted, huh?

I wouldn't support these camps and I don't think they'll ever happen. Too much bad PR for the government. Instead, they'll continue what they're now doing. Quietly going around and detaining people without due process. It's already happened to hundreds in a short span of time and will probably increase as times goes on. It's easier that way. It only happens to selected individuals and takes alot of time to get the word out about what's really happening so the public maintains it's sense of still being "free" and having "civil liberties".
