US walks out on Ahmadinejad UN speech

LaLalalalalala, if a tree falls in the forest, and I did not hear it because I put on ear plugs, did the tree really fall? And will the tree magically re-erect itself because I had me trusty ear plugs on.

And if the tree falls in my back yard and crushes my car, will my ear plugs uncrush my car?

But then again if a serial motor mouth like Achinejhad says something, why not give him a polite listen, and then watch everyone else scream bullshit.

Ear plugs are only for arrogant in denial wimps. Real men and women confront false arguments and don't wimp out into some twilight zone of incredible denial.

We aren't talking about someone just being wrong, we're talking crazy speak. So let me guess when you visit Santa Monica you chat up all the crazies walking around talking about Jesus being an Area 51 conspiracy right? Tell them how they're wrong and why? You don't do that, you know why? Cause they're FUCKING CRAZY. You don't listen or communicate with crazy people. You ignore them because nothing they say holds any value, they're fucking crazy.

Like anyone expected anything else from Lemon Law though am I right?
 
When you think your enemy is an asshole who is insane, it's a perfect way to wind up dead. When you make assumptions about reality that may be staged, you open yourself to being blindsided. Assume nothing and expect anything by having no preconceptions.

I hope you remember this next time you refer to repubs as assholes.
 
I saw the interview he did last week with the cbs reporter and it was so funny. Every time she would try to corner him about a question it was like he lacked the comprehension to understand it and would reply with something totally unrelated.

Those CBS reporters and gotcha interviews, maybe Palin can comfort Ahmadinejad.

Ok, give everyone laser pointers for them to use on him when he gets up to speak. I'll bet he'll absolutely freak, and wimp out into some twilight zone of incredible denial.

Of course we can count on you to be partisan about something that has nothing to do with Republicans or Democrats. I mean here we have an issue that EVERYONE can agree on. Ahmadinejad is a dangerous, nutcase.... why don't we stand shoulder to shoulder and condemn this asshole and call out his bullshit anti-semitic rhetoric for what it is.
 
Bfdd sends a mixed message with, "You don't listen or communicate with crazy people."

How does listening to crazy people convey any credibility to crazy people? How does not listening to crazy people reduce their credibility? Craziness is in the eye of the beholder and is what it is.

But there is some wisdom to the latter part of the bfdd statement, one can listen to a crazy person, but not communicating with them by not responding to their foolish argument can be a legitimate response.

Its much like this forum, I have the Anand tech option to ignore posts by given posters, but I will never take that option because I never know if I should rebut them or ignore them. Therefore it only delimits only my options which hurts only me.

But does not the bible tell us to suffer fools gladly?

fools and crazy people are different. you're blurring the line something absurd. no you should NOT listen to crazy people, you should not humor them with your attention, you should ignore and walk away. Why? Because it doesn't fucking matter what you say, they're still going to be crazy and still believe their crazy ass shit. Fools can learn, crazies stay crazy.
 
who wants to be friend with an asshole that's also certifiably insane?

We should always seek both Peace and Freedom in our International Relations... But above Peace IS Freedom... What we do or not do is key to that goal.

We all know that 'walking out' of a UN speech is the highest form of diplomatic denouncement. No words need being said and certainly no debate should be entertained... Simply acting in the manner that nothing said is worth listening to renders the speaker to the dung heap of diplomacy (in the 'walker's' opinion).

imadinnerjacket is an assclown. What we need to realize is his influence is waning. The real threat is the growing numbers of the political wing of the army. Mainline Iranians want the same things we want, they also want ipods and jeans and a education. Soon when the rest of the hardliners die off Iran will become the model of westernization. They are already close at the civilian level.
The uprising last year is still there underneath the hardliners control. If we stand back and let them implode we have a better chance than provoking a confrontation and giving the hardliners leverage.

Bruce Bueademesquita had an interesting analysis of Iran...
 
So American delegates are petulant children who throw their toys out of the cot when someone says something that offends their delicate sensibilities? Got it.

So people from New Zealand who post on these forums are ignorant??

Even your country walked out on Ahmadineja....so why are you being so ignorant?

Dream on. Killing people in the name of God is easy, it's ordained and rewarded. Listen to what the killers of the uprisers said about doing Allahs work. Takes very few to have nation in thrall forever w/o external forces since most people just want to live and are cowards generally certainly to the point of not dying for unknown.

I agree with you though.. a lot of Iranians want liberation from fundi Islam, see it as imperialistic in many ways since they had a glorious culture before it and don't think much of their neighbors who spawned it. Too bad their are lots of hard core believers. I read something like 500,000 Iranian children know Qu'ran by heart... that's a lot of indoctrination and future warriors for RG.

We will pay for our leaders avoiding facing up to their responsibility to deal - forcefully if need be, with the vast nuclear project of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

One wonders how they can be so careless when they stay up at night worrying about Pakistan's weapons "falling into the wrong hands". Iran is even more dangerous than Pakistan in every respect. More apocalyptic 12th imam BS, more "crazy" statements, and has sponsored terrorist acts around the world! They should be moving heaven and earth to get them. Oh well. Population control I guess.

I'd opt for urban renewal in downtown Tehran if it came to it. I don't much like the idea of fighting the people but sure wouldn't mind replacing their leaders... Ford and his executive order on assassination irked me then and now.
It used to be that; we can't keep them from trying but we'll surely break them of the habit. But now it has moved toward a more I think you will but I don't know who or which one of you is worse... Pakistan or Iran... hmmm both seems nutty enough to try anything... but Iran seems more nutty than the average Religious nut going about God's work... as if he would need them to do so... so we'll fight in Afghanistan and Iraq.. that will convince them we mean business. I don't think the mindset of the Iranian leaders sees the efforts we employ as anything but going where it is easy (easier) to go.
Let Iran get nuclear weapons and the ball game changes. A united Persian/Arab confederation united under some version of Islam that provides for the activity that will be sure to follow such an event.

I believe Canada walked out as well, and I give that action a thumbs up. He's entitled to his opinion, but we're not obligated to listen to them.

"Delegates from the U.S., the United Kingdom, Sweden, Australia, Belgium, Uruguay and Spain rose from their seats and exited the hall during the speech."
