Every political ideology has extremists I can post example of crazy Jews, Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Republicans, Democrats, Atheists, etc etc. The only thing being proven is that everyone's crazy.....
.
I spent a lot of my childhood being insulted and degraded with racial remarks, I don't just presume people from said race are the same and don't refer to them as, "this group is like this", personal experience is not an excuse to hold views that are negative and dismissive of people in general, judge people on an individual basis, otherwise the motivation is simplistic contempt. I love everyone because hate is a poison and treat people on an individual basis(not saying you hate anything).
I'm going to give you something to think about, Europe spent many centuries in the dark ages and in religious wars with each other, and Mesopotamia and the Middle East were thriving and progressive....does this sound familiar to what's going on now?
The roles have reversed, that is all.
People moderate with time, education, technology, etc. Europe used to be dominated by similar extreme religious and theocratic institutions, that has radically changed centuries later.
If the global powers got out of Asia and The Middle East, that would help too, but the global powers spend money and use miltiary forces to help keep dictators in power (Russia, China, The United States, France, The United Kingdom) as the main offenders.
If people want the Middle East to grow and mature in a positive way, leave them alone, Europe turned out fine after having religious wars, church domination, and the dark ages of ignorance. The most the world should do is share knowledge, provide charity for natural diasters, and things that any human would appreciate happening to them, keep the bases, the funding of regimes, and other shady policies out of it.
I'm not using Personal experience isn't an excuse, it's a logical basis/assessment being as how it's a good element to judge off of...I'm also not exactly a kid, I'm not the oldest on this site but I sure as hell ain't the youngest lol. I've been around long enough to realize patterns with certain groups or ideals and you're right, nobody is perfect but that still doesn't justify certain actions. It's really no different then MK, what I mean by that is say you play online and you play 10 people with good records but they're all idiots, ignorant scrubs that cry "you dumb spammer" Naturally you will start to think ok, people not from this site are apparently all "scrubs" a fair assessment based on experience of bad experiences? Yes, I think so. However, is that always true? Not necessarily. That's my point. It's no different with other topics of life from political parties to certain groups.
Love is always good and hate is always bad, both are words used loosely however but at the same time. This isn't an perfect world, it's imperfect and there is no such thing as "world peace" maybe between most of it or a lot of countries, but between everyone on this Earth? Not happening, it's sad but true dude. Sometimes we just have to accept how things are, even if we try to make it better.
Those countries listed just happen to be the powerhouses of the World, someone has to be, just like someone has to be the weaker link. It's the balance of everything, the universe. Day and night, rich and poor, fat and skinny, powerful and weak etc, etc.
Just want to let you know that dude, to this day there's still religious wars going on between
Jerusalem and Israel and has been for years literally...
What? The only thing I could find is someone being interviewed and stating how neo nazi groups have previously fundraised for him. CNN has some liberal hosts, but their programming is NOT about opinion. I find it funny too how The Daily Show has supported Ron Paul faaaaarrr more than Fox has. And are you really going to call Joe Scarborough a liberal?
The only time when I see CNN hosts really expressing something opinionated is when it really calls for it, like here:
This was done in parody of "Obamacare".
You do know that there's plenty of liberal people who work for CNN, way more then conservative ultimately right? Just want to make you aware of this...CNN isn't nearly as bad as MSNBC but just saying. You're entitled to believe what you wish though.
I would hardly characterize this as "radical liberal". He instituted a very weak public healthcare policy to appease the other side while still getting some of what he wants.
Really? Well, you're a liberal so naturally you'll have a different definition of a lot of things from those opposed. But yeah to me yes he's a radical liberal, boarderline socialist. I guess we all have our views.
Wait.... what? I can't even take you seriously here. I can go and find a news report for EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF THAT LIST. The Southern Poverty Law Center monitors and fights against hate groups, they aren't some liberal media site. Are you really going to try to argue against the widespread existence of right-wing terrorism? I find that not just illogical, but very disrespectful to those who have been killed or otherwise affected by it.
lol, yes because you're comparing right wing crazies to terrorists, then when I post liberal nutjobs throwing shit at people and causing violence, you ask me "you compare lefties to terrorists" lol wow man, the level of hypocrisy here is staggering dude...
You're going to associate Occupy Wall Street with terrorism now? Really?
lol, you mean like you associated "right wingers" with terrorism? Love the hypocrisy there...again. No, I'm not comparing protesters despite how stupid or ignorant they may be to terrorists, unlike liberals who compare right wingers to them, I just think they're just as crazy mentally but no, not terrorists...watch youtube vids MANY out there, asking them what are you protesting, they have no answer...half the time they sound stoned.
We released a guy in exchange for the release of hostages. And no, nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks. Many people in Gitmo shouldn't even be there. People have been detained there for years without any evidence of wrongdoing. Some people have been eventually released because we finally acknowledged that they are innocent, and it goes under the radar of the media.
And many people who were there deserved to stay there, not be released or moved...yeah, only being associated with terror plots, cells etc but yeah...innocent until proven guilty right? Even if it means the nation's security...uh huh. Oh a lot of stuff goes under the radar of the media.
Gladly, this link covers it...I can post more if you wish.

They want to racially profile, illegally detain middle-easterners and pass them off as PoW's when it's not the case, and invade the privacy of Muslim-Americans under the guise of national defense.
No, they're going by historical facts that show that most terror cells and people associated with them happen to be muslim..how is that racial profiling? So, let me ask you if there's a terror plot that we need to uncover, will we go after latinos and whites or wait...maybe people from the ghetto, blacks? Instead of people that happen to be muslim, everything is race with you liberals...come on enough dude. Has nothing to do with it. If that were true, every "republican" would be trying to pass a law banning all muslims from the US, clearly not the case.
I believe Dancock had a nice list of terrorists killed under the Obama administration so far. Who are we bowing down to? We've done nothing to actually negotiate, only to pull back from our failed operations that have done nothing but increased chaos. The right want to deal with them head on by breaking the law as I stated above.
Yeah, when you're dealing with radicals and national security you're worried about "breaking the law" a little? I think if it saves lives, I'd be flexible...or your family say, would you prefer we did things wrong and they got killed or bent a few things in order to save hundreds if not thousands?
Be more specific with what you're talking about here.
You know, rewriting the constitution...wanting to alter amendments, laws etc
This is just showing your ignorance. Islam isn't a part of the world. Iran? What? They're not even arabs and haven't attacked us at all. Middle-Easterners make us anxious, but what were the races of the failed plane terror attackers post-9/11? Oh yeah, Nigerian and British-Jamaican.
You're the one that's ignorant here, if you're trying to say that "it wasn't muslims from that part of the world" that attacked us, I'm just going to ignore this totally and/or laugh...Nigerian and British attacked us? uhh yeah....no.
Once again, they're attacking us because of our foreign policy. The same foreign policy that has met widespread non-violent criticism, and rightfully so. When we're not supporting Israel, they wouldn't even care to attack us. Our policies should have been changed long before the attacks.
They're not attacking us before of foreign policy alone, that's only part of it it's also a way of them trying to show fear across the world and intimidate us to do what they want thru threats and killing innocents...your second part is pure opinion.
Do I have to state again that France wasn't neutral and the Madrid bombing wasn't an organized terror attack?[/quote]
France and Spain WERE with Bush but then said, uh we're pulling out, would you like me to post links to this?
Like when he bombed a camp OBL was at and missed him by only a couple hours? If you're referring to Sudan's "offer" to give us OBL a couple years earlier, that didn't actually happen. That's purely right-wing propaganda. It wouldn't have even mattered as we wouldn't have had grounds to detain him.
lol we didn't miss it, it was avoided purposely because Clinton was afraid to strike or potentially hurt others in the process...he had no balls, flat out. And due to that, 9/11 happened. How does that not matter?
They claimed he was trying to get OBL to divert attention away from the scandal, which was the biggest media story of the time. I'm surprised you think a sex scandal was more important than killing bin Laden now.
Well, the scandal was a big distraction, especially when you lie under oath, and you're the president caught with your pants down...but that aside, I don't think that at all. Some republicans were concerned with that, others were concerned about OBL...when did I ever say a sex scandal is more important then Bin Laden? Never said that, but good job putting words in my mouth.
Who's talking about the Bush era? Do you still not understand why these terrorists don't like us?
Uhh I was merely pointing out the facts of when that started...I understand perfectly well, do you know why terrorists hate us? They've hated us long before any foreign policy...or even before we were there.
No, they were not. It doesn't become fact just because you keep repeating it. It wasn't even a group. The evidence points to a loose collaboration between amateur extremists without an agenda in mind.
Yes they were, but believe what you want dude. My point was it was linked to muslim extremists just as nutty as Al-Qaeda...why do you deny this?
Because Iraq was an independent country and didn't want to be policed by outside forces. Say things were reversed, and Iraq wanted to inspect American facilities? We would just be like "lolno. gtfo". We can't just say "well, we have this flimsy evidence that they're doing something we don't agree with but they won't let us go look at their shit, let's invade them without approval".
Uh, America is 10000000000x more powerful then Iraq, thus that's an unfair comparison. We're not radical dictators so we'd negotiate I'm sure. Like said, 3 months procrastinating...lol so sure nothing went on there. We'll just disagree with the Saddam thing.
Libya isn't perfect either, solid yes? Perfect? No. Only god is perfect in this universe as far as I'm concerned.
Yes. This is why I agree with the democrats on taxes. And it might as well be just the defense costs. We're spending FAAAAARRRRR more on "defense" than the next highest country on the list of military spending. We could be saving the costs of entire government departments just by cutting a fraction of the defense budget.
Dude, I'm not a dem and I agree with the defense spending too much money but it's not the only thing, the Obamacare, surplus etc is also WAY too much....nothing justifies trillions of dollars.
Tax breaks is a good, more money for you an me
but your view. Still dont think he caved to anyone...republicans least of all.
Public support has nothing to do with its effectiveness. I already stated I think the healthcare plan is too soft. Also, you realize you're forced to buy insurance to drive a car, right? Where is the conservative uproar over that? The only supposedly unconstitutional aspect of this is the "forcing" part. In actuality, it's just preventing people from being freeriders when they get sick and have to go to the hospital. Romney did this same thing without the uproar. I wonder why?
Well, we'll just agree to disagree ok. Romney didn't do the exact same thing, but I don't like him anyway.
First of all, why do you act like I sit here and watch MSNBC all day? I don't even have TV access here. I stated this when discussing with Shory. And to get to your point, yes it is. The other part of the mandate allows for employees of religious centers to have access to it, but this is NOT done by the employers, it is done by the insurance companies. It requires the employers to include it in their insurance policies, but not to pay for it themselves. The outrage by priests is just outrage by priests. My point still stands about nearly half the country having similar mandates before this, 6 of them being governed by a Republican.
I never said you do that, but it does sound like you read liberal sites a lot given your posts. We never had an issue before with churches and paying for abortions, bc...that's why it caused such an uproar, but not previously. Obama's plan is very controversial.
They are allowed to pray just as Christians are allowed to pray. No one's telling anyone to not pray, but it's a different case when, as a common example, a high school team does a group prayer before a game. The difference is public/group displays of it. Muslims are a unique group because their religion requires prayer be done at certain times of the day.
Not at all dude, most schools yes. But not all...you didn't read the link I posted did you?
I hear this all the time but do you have actual statistics showing that more often than not, abortion is done just because they don't want responsibility, or are you merely making assumptions? Why is she forced to have the baby anyway? The level of sentience of a human fetus is much less than that of a pig. The only argument for why this life must be preserved is the trivial human connection.
I'll post more on stats tomo when I have more time, but yes I'm pretty sure most abortions are due to inconvenience MOST of the time, not all though. How am I making assumptions based off facts and logical observation? Why is she forced to destroy it? Why not even consider adoption? Because she don't feel like carrying an extra weight for 9 months? Should have thought of that before she said "fuck me, don't care about protection" then..lol
Why are you focusing on the mother? My concern would be for how this child would turn out. You can't just say "hey crack addicts, don't get pregnant". The world doesn't work like that.
You brought up crack addict and the mother, I merely elaborated on it.
Once again, I'm sure I can show you many more videos with Obama's hand over his heart, before and after this took place. The difference between Obama and Bush is that Bush didn't only use bad grammar and made-up words, but just said blatantly stupid shit, and the grace with which he covers up his mistakes ("fool me once, shame on you, fool me, you can't get fooled again" being my favorite).
Ok, by all means man. Post them
he didn't make up words, he messed up his words. At least bush could remember his shit, even though he struggled at times. Obama needs his tele lol which implies poor memorization.
1. I see you've once again just been shown something, said "damn, these liberals", and didn't look into it. This has already been disproven. She didn't say "all this over a damn flag".
2. ....what exactly is the problem with this?
3. This type of speech is used all the time, and especially by the far right, mind you. The number of Obama-Hitler connections made by conservative commentators in the past few years has to be in the thousands.
Lol, dude I've shown you several facts and you've gave me the typical "that's racist/profiling, right wingers are terrorists" etc things that is obviously false because of your emotional feelings...
I already listed what my issues with it were. You're the president and first lady, show respect for the flag(you're only the president...) but hey whatever...
Yes, you're right Obama and Hitler have been compared but then so has Bush and Hitler, Bush and death, Bush and monkeys, Bush and retarded, on and on.
