Hey Honu...It was a racist post and racism is stupid so that is why I called him stupid. And I'll gladly speak face to face with anyone who is a racist and call them stupid.

I dont get how Chris was being a racist???? Did not the poster state how they couldnt understand our governments intrest in a war that has been waged for decades upon decades ? Did not the poster show really no empathy for either side in this whole thing? So the poster hates Jews and Arabs? I dont know ....that is not what I got from what Chris was saying but if that is how you took it so be it.

I'm not Jewish, but never considered them "religous wackos" or an insignificant country. His claims that because they don't have oil therefore we shouldn't care what happens to them also qualified as "stupid" in my World.

I don't think I have ever called anyone "stupid" in however many posts I have on here, but to me, what he wrote qualified.

I say nothing on this or any other board that I haven't or wouldn't say to anyone's face...and your presumption that fear of physical response would silence me in insulting....you don't know me so don't presume otherwise!
If I had a dollar for everytime I've been personally attacked for my beliefs on the net....well, I could pay for the therapy I'd no doubt need due to being so insecure...it's the nature of public discourse, especially on the net. Since the net doesn't allow for face-to-face discourse, one's words are the only projection of self that others have, therefore, if your words are racist, you will be responded to as such...your beliefs are well-documented by your earlier posts, you want to defend this guy because you believe the same way...that's fine, but don't mask it in some psuedo Rodney King speak!

That is your opinion ....so do you care about all the prisoners being raped by other inmates in jails all across America , I know it doesnt affect you but do you care ? I dont think Chris was saying that the Jews were whacko but might have been refereing to the Palestinians , either way , go on with your bad self , call people names if you see fit after all it is only your opinion.

I sit corrected Chris posted disdain for both sides , still its just an opinion.

lol..I'm a bleeding heart liberal Honu..I'm usually accused of caring too much.

Of course Chris was saying that (Jews are whacko)...and you called me a nimrod...shame on you:rolleyes:

How did we get from Gaza to abuses in US Prisons???
Since the question was asked...of course I care!

Somer dont get your panties in wad .....I have stated before that I dont agree with calling people names because we dont know most of each other in real life........I believe what I believe , if you dont like it or agree with it thats fine , but to lower your own intellect by resorting to name calling is just childish. You dont know what I believe or how I see the world you take a few posts and from that you gather to know what I think about all things .
The Arabs and the Jews have been fighting for as long as time has ticked , the Arabs and others have been doing the same thing. I think the people in most Middle Eastern countries wouldnt know how to live a peacefull life if it were handed to them on a silver platter. Does this make me a racist ? Maybe in your eyes it does , but Im not , I dont hate anyone , what I do hate is the stupidness of fighting on the grounds of faith , the stupidness of teaching people that it is ok to create chaos in the world , that it is ok to kill people with no regard to innocent lives.

I know it was off subject but I was just making a statement about caring about things that dont affect you . So really truly in your heart you care about a child molester who gets raped in prison everyday ? . You are one of the most noble people I have ever virtually met.

:zz:

I didnt call you a nimrod , I reffered it lol.

Honu..read what you wrote and read what QC wrote...I think there is a huge difference in the attitude and the respect given to the people involved over there.

You prove my point, all that we know about each other is taken from the words we post...you can click on your handle and review all your previous posts (as I did), they clearly demonstrate your view on all followers of Islam, you state that Muslim = Terrorist and your words such as "I think the people.....if it were handed to them on a silver platter" are demeaning, not to mention simplistic. You defend a person who refers to Muslims and Jews as "neanderthals".....your words speak for themselves. By the way, my intellect remains as is, not effected by internet posts or trite attempts at demonization...! Finally, I agree 100% with you statement beginning with, "what I do hate...."

I suspect anyone who knows me or has read my posts over the years will answer that...god knows I've taken plenty of heat over just that issue!

Well then call me a bigot for saying what I believe is the truth.....and I think a small part of you thinks its the truth also, doesnt mean I hate them , I hate what they do , there is a diffirence.

Wow is all I can say .... u are a saint , you should run for president in 4 years.

LOL! Been called lots of names because of my beliefs but that's a new one.

If u ran Id vote for you , I think you could Kumbahya the world into peace.:)

So we should waste time and taxpayer dollars worrying about a few thousand people that have been killing each other for thousands of years.

How about we take care of our own poor people first. Or how about taking care of millions in Africa? We waste more money on these lunatic countries in the middle east than we do helping starving people. Billions more.

Racist? All I was saying is they are religious wackos. That isn't racist, those are facts. We have plenty here in America too, but they don't control our government. Gaza is essentially religious wackos who want to get rid of an entire religion and country in Israel, and Israel is a country of religious wackos that put religious symbols on their flag and think God gave them a piece of land.

This is 2009. How could anyone actually believe that God wants people to blow themselves up in the name of God or that God has a country of chosen people that rightfully should have a piece of land because a book like the Bible says they do.

People that think like this are living in the stone ages.

Thank God for our founding fathers that respected religion but understood religion has no place in government.

Believing in God and believing in a man made religion are two different things. In America we respect all religions, in Gaza an Israel they don't.
