As for me being sympathetic to Muslims, how could I/ all they want to do is eradicate Jews.

Not ALL do want that. Right?

How can you think I would condone the murder of nine hundred thousand people?

But yet you indirectly condone the death of muslims by sympathizing with this post.

Please tell me, how is that different? How is it justifiable?

Frankly MM, I don't wish death to anyone. Not even the terrorists themselves.

I would not seek revenge or their death if they killed one of my family members, you know why? Because i would pity them, for going down the path of murder.

I would forgive them, mourn the loss, and move on - trying as hard as i can to spread peace, and not war.

You do realize that we'd be looked at as horrible people even more, that we'd be no better than we were in WW2.

OH MY GOD! I was just going to let this thread go on without saying anything, since there really wasn't any point in further commenting on a joke. But man, this was just too much.

Silent Poet, are you so terribly indoctrinated and by the leftist views of your teachers, have your eyes been so gouged out by your weenie ideas, that you honestly can't see that the US saved the fucking world in WW2? It's people like you who will ultimately destroy this country, Lucas. Who refuse to see that we are a noble and good nation which has, time and again, willingly, even cheerfully shed our blood and spent our treasure for the benefit of others.

Where the hell do I begin? I don't really have the time right now. Forget it; if you can say this, you're lost. I give up on you.

I'll just say that, thanks to the US and our terrible willingness to kill those who would conquer and destroy us, and to protect ourselves and in the name of our continued freedoms, you, and perhaps a billion more over the last 60+ years, have the freedom to say things like you just did, and the right not to speak German (or Japanese) if you so desire.
You'd be stiff-arm saluting a swastika flag waving over an undoubtedly heroic statue of Our Brave and Wise Fuher, Adolf Hitler (who, by the way, actually DID not really care how many people he killed) or bowing to the Emporer.

War is never, ever, a pleasant or good thing, but it is often a necessary thing. We used to realize that and to be able to act on it.
Only willfully blind ideologues like you can think that peace is always and ever the only solution, even when an advancing army is massed against you with guns cocked, locked and aimed in your direction. I know you're young, but that's no excuse for being purposely obtuse.

Thank you, Lucas, for shitting, spitting and pissing on the efforts and sacrifices of ALL THREE of my great-uncles, and of millions more; someone in your family line, too, I have no doubt.

'Nuff said on this.

Thank you all for posting.

War is never, ever, a pleasant or good thing, but it is often a necessary thing.

That's where we part, I don't think it is often a necessary thing. I'd much rather solve things through diplomacy, etc...anything but the shed of blood.

Most of it comes from the fact that I became very much a pacifist after dealing a certain family figure for many years.

I don't like conflict, war, death, any of it.

It's people like you who will ultimately destroy this country, Lucas.

Funny, i've often thought it was people like me who have stood up against those who would try to take our freedom away.

that you honestly can't see that the US saved the fucking world in WW2?

I do see that. What I don't see as being justified, is interning nearly all, if not all of the germans and japanese in the US.

Can you honestly justify that, in any way?

Who refuse to see that we are a noble and good nation which has, time and again, willingly, even cheerfully shed our blood and spent our treasure for the benefit of others.

Have I ever said we weren't? No, no I have not.

You do realize that we'd be looked at as horrible people even more, that we'd be no better than we were in WW2. Oh, then why not intern all muslims here in the US? Why not, they're all the same right?

If you had read the rest, you would have realized that I was talking about the internment camps.

Ya know, I was thinking the other day. It's folks like you, and other hardline conservatives/republicans, that push me farther to the left.

Well, you have the liberal line down pat. Never take responsibility for your own actions, blame it on someone else.

Well, you have the liberal line down pat. Never take responsibility for your own actions, blame it on someone else.

Let me rephrase that, so you understand, and possibly - not make yourself look like an asshole.

I admit, that it is my responsibility on what way i go, however...I am pushed, via reading such BS, and bashing, and total asshole-ness...which, causes me to go "ya know, if there are so many people like this, who are conservative, then i'd rather not be associated with them."

Ya see? It's simple.

Well, you have the liberal line down pat. Never take responsibility for your own actions, blame it on someone else.

No, that's just the line of faux liberals like Lucas here. He only says he's liberal because it's the "cool" thing to do. Some day he'll grow up and come to some sense of his own being, and his own political ideals, but as of right now, he's just parroting what he hears.

Some of us liberals actually know what the hell we're talking about and take responsibility for ourselves. Lucas, however, does not.

That's where we part, I don't think it is often a necessary thing. I'd much rather solve things through diplomacy, etc...anything but the shed of blood.

That's Righwingers point, "diplomacy" has killed far more people than any war.

Let me rephrase that, so you understand, and possibly - not make yourself look like an asshole.

I am not the asshole here lucas. YOu stated it, I quoted it. You dont have to equivocate. Perhaps you just need to stop blaming others for your faults and take the responsibility on yourself.

Some of us liberals actually know what the hell we're talking about and take responsibility for ourselves. Lucas, however, does not.

And you are the ones that the conservatives need to worry about. You guys make sense. (just not about all things)

Actually, I am liberal. All on my own.

to you.

How so?

I didn't intend to portray that I was blaming others, I just worded it wrong.



Ya know, I'm done. Obviously folks are not getting what i mean, and i apologize for that - i should've been clearer.

Adios

Actually, I am liberal. All on my own.

Keep tellin' yourself that, buddy.

Yes, we should try diplomacy.  It's working so well in Darfur.

Hey! Us conservatives dont want him. You have to keep him. No trades back!

You have to keep him. No trades back!

We don't want him, either . . . maybe the "Personal Choice" party will take him?

We don't want him, either . . . maybe the "Personal Choice" party will take him?

LOL

Heh, liberal but they don't want me...refuse to be conservative, hmmm...me thinks I am in a load of trouble.



Guess I get to start my own party, right?

N'ah, too much hassle. I'll just be who i am.
