Hi jack...yer math's off...what's the word for a band of 4.5?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(MarinJohn @ Sep 13 2006, 04:50 PM) [snapback]319205[/snapback]</div>

5.5?

AND, if we are going to ban people for being offensive...how about banning the Confederate flag? To me and MANY others, it is just as offensive as a swastika. Throw someone out because of their words? How about their pictures?

You make me laugh. Your post could have the words "left wing" and "liberal" replaced with "right wing" and "neo-conservative" and it would be equally true.

The official reasons for the war changed many times too. Where's Winston Smith when you need him?

Umm... maybe you should have a look in a history textbook. We had pretty much won the war BEFORE we dropped the bomb(s). We weren't desperate - not even close. We had firebombed most of Japan's major cities. They never managed to hit a single non-military American target. The bombs were dropped for two reasons: to end the war with fewer American casualties than an invasion (which was planned), and to see what would happen. There is some debate about the justification of the bombs, but there is no debate on the what the eventual outcome of the war would have been. Your claim that "we'd be speaking Japanese" is ridiculous.

Racist statements alway seem to come with disclaimers.

Read into it what you will.. I'd rather have a Japanese as my neighbor than most.

And you keep reading those history books... they are filled with facts!..

It wasn't that long ago... how about talk to someone who was there!

I couldn't care less what the color of my neighbor's skin is.

You're right that I only know about WWII from books, but that doesn't mean that I'm wrong.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(windstrings @ Sep 13 2006, 08:34 PM) [snapback]319297[/snapback]</div>

Are you implying that you were there? If so, would you say we were losing in the summer of '45?

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(windstrings @ Sep 13 2006, 08:27 PM) [snapback]319292[/snapback]</div>

That is exactly what I said. Go pick your own cotton, neighbor.

Rufaro sounds like a closeted racist towards southern folk...


Just for you RuFaRo, ju like de piktur of de bag I got it jus for ju.


Rufaro why ju hate the flag? :huh:

Did you date a guy or girl and he/she had one hanging on thier wall :blink:
so the relationship ended badly so now you dont like anything that reminds you of the ordeal even the flag..

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Ok. Explain to us how using military force, like the Iraq invasion, you would have prevented 9/11. Remember this attack was done by a bunch of guys, mostly from Saudi Arabia, a "friendly" country.

I think this is totally inappropriate, in extremely poor taste, and constitutes a personal attack. If and when it's removed for offensive content, I will remove this quote of it.

Well, its just inline with the kind of character we are dealing with.

Pinto girl said it best in another thread:

"Rampant dishonesty, xenophobia, and pseudo-religious moralism"

I would add artificial self-righteousness.

Wow, thanks for finally fessing up. Alric has made the key point that is the basis of this and so many other threads, and you're right, you don't get it.

04,

Go directly to Wal-Mart and get a life; they're on sale for guys like you.

While you're there, pick up a brain.

Where are our esteemed mods NOW?

Ok. Explain to us how using military force, like the Iraq invasion, you would have prevented 9/11. The above is nothing like invading Iraq. We agree that is how it should be done. But invading Iraq is nothing like it.

I'm not talking about color...but character thats typical for certain races of people.
Many culture teach different values, precepts and principles than do we.

I wasn't there, but I talk to alot of older folks since I'm in the medical profession and I hear lots of stories from those who love to talk about it that were there.

We were intimidated and pissed and scared all at the same time... we knew we were against a formidable foe who would give thier lives to kill one ship.

Always be careful at calling another self righteous.

A little off subject, but self righteousness is the most deceitfull of all.
Those who have it cannot be corrected "becaue they don't need it".
They are in a position to judge or put down others to affirm thier own righteousness.
And they are usually eaten up with pride and full of themselves.

Oh lord I'm proud to be humble.......... kinda like that.

And yea, it takes one to know one.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Alric @ Sep 14 2006, 06:47 AM) [snapback]319448[/snapback]</div>

It may not... but if you have ever heard the phrase in the good book that says:
"Smite a scorner and others will beware."

Try to get your enemy, if you miss, get his brothers in crime instead.... sometimes even more effective!

 

I am done here. When an objection to an image...NOT to a person...is characterized as a "personal attack," I know I'm finished finding this a source of entertainment and education.

Thank you Jack and Hyo and others who saw my point and supported me.

See ya all around.
