What is it with Muslims and bombs?

[VersOne]

ok...this is my last post...I'm unwatching this topic.

Cmon man, I know you are a bored old man, but seriously take a cultural anthro class, and expand your world view a little, will ya?

The idea that you can prevent crime before it happens is science fiction.  Terrorism is not a war that you can fight by traditional means.  Would you fight a war on drugs by nuking Latin America? Cmon man...

I'm leaving the "BS" forum...I'm going back to the "GS" forum.

Peace, diplomacy...my friends

So, the common concensus here is "you can't stop them, don't hassle anyone trying".  Do I have that right?

So, if the US turns into Iraq or Israel with bombs going off all the time, you STILL won't do anything?  Or, is there a "limit" before you're willing to "hassle" people for security?  No bombs in 4 years, no problem.  1 a year, still not enough.  5 a year, OK, a problem now, some rights have to go.  I'm curious as to exactly what if anything could make you change your mind.

verseone,

Cmon young kid, get out of your classroom and GO to these countries you "say" you know so much about.  YOUR information is old, worthless, tainted.  You wouldn't (want to) last 5 minutes in any of these Muslim countries.  Your rights would be instantly cut by 98%.  Do you know "sports Illustrated" is illegal in Saudi Arabia?  Forget about ANY fitness magazine.  Look at the right women (don't) have.  THAT is the way these people want the WORLD to be.

Drugs is an INTERNAL problem.  BIG difference my son.  How do you stop drup USE, man that is a tough one.  I don't have the answer to that.  Oh sure, there are ways to PERMANENTLY "eliminate" drug users.  But it's pretty brutal.  The REAL problem with drugs is NOT people using them.  It is the problems associated with the use.  The crimes people commit to get the money to buy the drugs.  MOST heavy drug users commit other crimes to get their fix.  THAT is the REAL problem with drugs.

josi,

When I was young, poor, with no responsibilities, I too was like you.  Now that I actually have things, I've changed completely.  When you start to work hard to better your life you ask yourself "why am I paying so much for others to skate through life?".  

See, I can still argue without being hateful!

hey there, straw man.  how's it going?  haven't seen you for at least one or two posts.

interesting examples.  neither of those places had bombs going off before the West decided to mess in their affairs.

in fact, Iraq and Israel are probably the two best examples (along with Iran) of how Western meddling has seriously screwed up the Middle East.


in the 1940s, when the Middle East was finally supposed to be working itself free of European Imperialism, we go and say, "this country is now Israel, it belongs to European Jews, go somewhere else."

in 1953, the CIA assists in the overthrow of the democratically elected prime minister of Iran and helps to install the Shah as dictator.  a brutal regime ensues.

in the 1980s, the U.S. supplies Saddam Hussein with weapons (including chemical and biological weapons) that, among other things, he uses on his own people.

we've also been supporting the corrupt and oppressive Saudi government since before i was born.


we've repeatedly gone into the Middle East and said, "no, no, silly savages, this is how things should be," and made a serious mess of things, and you think their hatred of us is purely due to religion?

we're not fighting religious extremists.  we're fighting nationalists who also happen to be religious extremists.  at some point you've got to see through the propaganda.


cheers,
