The islamic nations must go the way of Troy, Carthage, and Azteca.
You misunderstand my statement. Whatever it takes to reduce the threat.
No one left to contemplate revenge.
Got it?
Okay. Clear enough. Buy up HotPoint stock then.
Ahh. Very eloquent. You sound like a prime candidate for America's first suicide terror squad. I'm sure that the Islamic suicide bombers were really deep thinkers just like you when they came to the conclussion that people who are part of America, or supporter of it, are useful only as fertilizer for next year's crops.
Do you even realise that you are cut from the same cloth as Islamic terrorists, or is that just as far out of your grasp as my simple call to "not stop thinking?"
See #321. You appear to be right. The moron actually thinks I misunderstood him. Be careful about what you say, though. He might add add you to The List. Of course, with a name like yours, you're probably on it already.
Ask you doctor for some more prozac, hide under the rock, keep repeating, help me Barney, help me Mr. ans Ms. Sociologist.
Your time is over, this is war and you are no longer useful.
You have to steal quotes for Michael Rivero?? Do you get a secret decoder ring with the tin hat? Do you even know what the Reichstag fire was?
Took several replies, but you finally showed your true colors.
You turd. You evil piece of s**t.
Finally, someone from another country who might actually understand. And a Canadian no less. Any chance we can trade Peter Jennings for him?
You're right. That was a very insensitive statement by me and I apologize to anybody that took offense to it. I was wrong to say that.
The sad thing is, I know exactly how they feel. Back in 1995 when Croatia attacked the Serbia Krajina and ethnicly cleansed 250,000 Serbs and killed thousands in a mere 3 days while being aided by the US, I could have slaughtered at least 1000 Croats by myself. All you had to do was keep the line moving for me and I could have kept the blood flowing. I wanted retribution so bad my hands were shaking.
That intense anger is difficult to sustain over a long period of time and eventually I came to my senses and was actually embarassed that I could feel such hatred.
Many of my friends were very worried about me and thought that I was completely losing my mind. At the time I was dating and madly in love with what I consider to be one of the greatest women that I have ever met. When I informed her of these feelings of hatred that I was feeling she became withdrawn from me, told me that she no longer knew who I was. The love of my life was no longer my partner.
At the time my American friends had absolutely no idea how I could feel such hatred. Now before my very eyes I'm watching what appears to me to pretty much the whole of America turn into the equivilant of blood thirsty Serb "ultra-nationalists". However you'll never hear the term ultra-nationalist used by Americans to describe what they are. For them the word is "patriots".
Although my posts will not contain the words that describe my personal desire to be the person to administer the extremely slow and painful death that I wish to see administered to the evil animals that are responsible for the carnage of Tuesday that has caused me to shed many tears and once again stir these feelings of hatred, rest assured that these feelings are still very often present. What I cannot muster is a sustained level of hate for long periods of time. I believe it may partially be because I'm just so emotionally exhausted from the near constant oscillations of emotions that have accompanied me during the last 10 years of the disolution of Yugoslavia.
Nobody understands the feelings of anger and outrage that Americans are experiencing now more than the Serbs. I bet that citizens of Belgrade from 1999 and citizens of New York from Tuesday could find much in common. I wish to God that neither city would have experienced such heartbreaking terror.
Again, I apologize for my insensitive statement to both you and anybody else I may have offended. However, I do believe that we must keep thinking. Hatred is a killer. We have prime examples of its fruits in New York and Washington.
The pure ignorance of the average american CNN-couch-potatoe is just amazing! So this guy doesn't remember the US lead NATO bombing of the Belgrade TV station. Was that something different? It was an act of state terrorism, that ended in the deaths of innocent people doing their job.
If the father of the killed make-up girl working for the Belgrade TV station decided to hijack an airplane and slam it in the WTC, would this guy then still ask the same question?
Blowing up buildings in other countries by whatever means, is not an "political thing"! The sad thing is, even after the disaster some people won't get it.
Well, cicero's son, you aimed your arrow unerringly at the achilles heel. Is the critique of the current wave (an irresitable tidal wave, it appears) of history meaningful, or is it all petulant childishness? Are those of us who reject the facile embrace of "God's will" as an explanation, lonely prophets or merely infantile egoists?
Why did someone like Augustine have the intellectual power to turn away from longing for the classical culture he so loved, and not only live through the change but put in place the very foundations of the next wave? Is it genetic-- hormonal?
Or does it just mean that some people grow up faster than others; growing up being the ability to say, with equanimity: "...Empires are not perfect...The alternative is worse. .."
You point out:"...Witness what happens when Empires retreat into themselves..." You seem to think they have any choice in the matter. I have no doubt our Empire will be able to marshal one last mighty battle cry. And when the dust settles, and we have a chance to examine more closely the inside of our skyscraper facade, we will find there is nothing left.
Growing up being the ability to perceive that it is all decay and corruption proceeding in elliptical waves until finally we are drawn, inexoribly, into the "final realization" where everybody ultimately dwells--Tamarlain, St. Francis, Idi Amin, Gregory The Great, Hitler, Anne Frank, Osama Bin Laden, Charles Martel, Joe Smith...
It seems unbearable...
Saturday night I attend my: "Is The Cloister Right For You?" seminar......
