I recently ran into a guy who was listening to music of the middle east i don't know what language, but he started to laugh at me and asked me if i knew what the man was singing about. i said no and he said he is talking about you. I know a person in law enforcement and warned him of this man. I feel that the reason we all live here is because of the freedom to persue happiness and if someone gets in the way of that then he/she does not belong in our society.

You know, all religions believe if you do not believe like them you are doomed. It is just they are civil enough to let you believe and live your life your way. They may SAY something about it....but atleast they aren't rioting or trying to kill you. Next time a Jehovah witness shows up on my door I may be more civil.......and actually thank them. Atleast they are peaceful.

yeah good point Darth. You know people in my religon are like that too but me if someone has some sort of hope whether it be the plant god or buddah, or even the will to live a happy life then good for them. I believe that our maker should be the one to pass the judgment not us as people. in the whole sepctrum of life we are only but ants.

It just took that long until they got the word out by camel train and goat express. Swiming the Red Sea and Persian gulf while trying to keep a newspaper dry is kind of tuff even for an Al Quaeda member.
Those lunatics will riot at the drop of a hat, and not need any reason to do so.its the way they are hardwired......spontaneous reactions geared on way with no room for discussion or compromise.....

I didn't take it as racist....I took it as the region isn't as technologically advanced as us. Is that racist or true?

 

[jmick]

This thread is full of racism and ignorance.

 

[darth tang]

Really? Where?

 

[darth tang]

And something to think about. Stop calling the rioters and or jihadists Radicals. This is how the Koran is taught. It isn't Radical. The radicals are actually those Muslims that preach peacefully and incorpurate tolerance in there preachings in the western countries. These are the radicals. The others are the norm..........

What makes you think they are tenically behind??
Bush sure didn't seem to think so when they were over there looking for their WEAPONS of MASS destruction.

 

[darth tang]

How many computer corporations do they own....meaning private citizens. How many technological advances have the citizens come up with?
Government is one thing...but I am talking average citizen.

 

[darth tang]

The Danish government is now looking into if the newspaper should be brought up on charges of blashemy. In a country where freedom of speech is supported no less. This is not a wise Idea. It shows they beleive in appeasement more than their rights........nevermind. History showed us this once before. Why am I surprised at anything Europe does anymore.

 

[mudplayerx]

The middle east is full of backwards, ignorant, cultures and people. This statement is not racist or hateful, it is fact. A vast majority of these people cannot even read. They are like sheep to the elite few dictators that control them with radical islam.
Don't even get me started on europe

 

[darth tang]

Mud what are your thoughts on the French government and their reaction and policies towards the countries outside of the EU?
(Sits back grinning and thinking the fourth of july fireworks will pale in comparrison to Mud's reaction..........)

 

[keleighr]

Darth are you married????
Cause if you are..............................
man do I feel for her right now!! I will light a candle for her right now....................

 

[darth tang]

No...we have not gotten married...............4 years together but no pointless ceremony.
why, am I that far out there? Maybe I should stop drinking my tank water....having an effect on me.

 

[chipmaker]

I agree, racism is not needed, so please point it out to me where I used any kind of racial slur.........I did not. YOur confusing religion with radicals and race.......As for Bush and him thinking they were technologiccally advanced, I think not, he went after Sadam for one thing, and Al Quaeda in Afghanistan for another thing.....besides what we went into Iraq and Afg has nothing to do with how radical and lunatic the people in those areas really are......Its like throwing a slab or fresh meat into a lions cage when they get their feelings insulted, yet its ok for us to set here and take wqhat they dish out? I think not.....The only thing they understand is death or getting knocked in the head.......or any of the trash their mullahs say. Their just one step up in the food chain from an ameobia.

I highlighted the comments that are ethically challenging.
