Oh this is gonna be classic.
Plane hijacking. Well that a new idea. Better go tell that to the Jews so they don't get caught off guard.Couldn't possibly be the other way around could it?The main thing I've come to find out is that terrorsit attacks highly resemble motion pictures.
Oh, they couldn't have ever thought of that on their own.For instance, I found a movie in a nearby blockbuster that the plot was how terrorist made a plan and attacked london by blowing up bombs...sound familiar??
Others are the many movies that depict terrorists kidnapping/taking over an airplane and driving it either to where they want or to make damage. Again doesn't this sound alittle familiar??
Oh for gods sakes, if it's that simple then ban movies and books. Or better yet make movies of people shooting their camels miles away from water. That will get them.Don't take me wrong, I am not actually accusing the country of doing this, however this movies are widely seen all over the world and I doubt not that terrorists may have been inspired by these movies.
Very simple. Class envy. You don't gun for the lowest on the list. Two kinds of people. One who sees a rich man and tries to do what he has done. The other just hates the rich man and tries to take his money.Another thing that I would like to point out on why not only terrorists, but many people and countries hate the United States:
Where the fu*ck does that come from. I'm guessing already you don't listen to both sides of the issues. Al Franken your favorite? Got his poster on your bedroom wall? No respect? Nah, we just give them aid out our asses, protect them with our military, loan them money, buy their goods, let them run up trade imbalances when with the stroke of the pen send them into economic stone age.We send our doctors to immunize them. Our scientists to help them grow food. Shall I go on?because it seems that the US has no respect for other countries or for formal pacts that it has made.
Those 12 resolutions notwithstanding.Standing out more is the fact that the US went to war even when the UN denied its request to go to war.
the US also thinks that it is the best just because it has money and thinks it has a rich culture and history that describes it as powerful and independent.
Little clue here junior, we are the best. Weve been around a little over two hundred years and we rule. California if the 5th largest economy in the entire friggin world. Have a little pride in your nation and some friggin respect for all that came before you to grant us our freedom before you so quickly dismiss us out of hand.
Nah, they just wach our movies and send their children to school here and beg us to help them when the chips are down. Ever go to an Italian resturant? Mexican? Thai? Chinese? Benihana? Go to an Irish pub? Hear of St. Patricks day? Kwanza? Hanakuh? Been to the Met? The Pops? Carnage Hall. Shall I go on? Yes sport, no culture at all.Truth is the US has not much culture compared to about 50% of the world,
Well fuc*king sorry but that's when we started. God you are easy.it has not much histiry either, since its real history begins about the time of the "Tea party" and such,
it would have more if it recognized the indians as "Americans" since they DO have a history and is IN this land.
A history of slaughtering each other and not advancing for centuries.
Oh your so right. How about we just call our nation...ah...Bob.Also the US has no right to call it self "America", when America is the whole continent, North America is "the U.S, Canada and Mexico" and south America from Belize and Guatemala down...also refered as Latin America.
I also don't like the fact that the gov. thinks they car brain wash all Americans.
Why not? Seems to have worked pretty well on you.
Many, many other countries realize what the U.S is doing in war and economy and gov. much more than the own American people, mostly because most Americans believe everything they are said, they shouldn't and allow at least a bit of space in their minds for a doubt.
Whose words are you repeating? Cause you need to go slap them and tell them they have no idea what they're talking about.
Schwarchennegger(?), it's means "black plow man" but then we have no culture.This would prevent many more erroneuous actions, such as President Bush, Gov. Arnold S.
Yes, you don't have a clue. There is a guy on this site named GySgt. Go run that last bit by him. Man I bet your dinner conversations are very depressing.(sorry I always misspell his last name) and the deaths of countless soldiers that are fighting for almost no reason now,
Bin Laden is probably enjoying satelite TV in a cave, while Hussein and other terrorist leaders are awaiting sentence and such. The soldiers are serving their country, and thats their proud job, I am aware of that, but the are only fighting militias, civilianst and costing many manny young lives, that other ways could contribute greatly to gov, economy and culture in general in the future.
Yea, run that by him too. I could speak on it but it has more clout coming from him.
Except your own.Again, I like this country as I like many more and enjoy living here and such I am not racist or hater of any country
:mrgreen: ...I am just pointing out facts.

You may be right, you may be wrong. Point is, no one will ever care as long as you are insulting!deep-illusions said:*Sigh*
...how easily you eat from their hand.
ShamMol said:Miss. Mule, that isn't fair. He must be thinking, which is what school is supposed to teach, or at least that is what I have been told. School teaches you to think and analyze information, and just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean that he is a failure of our school system, it just means you don't agree with him.
Missouri Mule said:There's a lot of liberals that I don't agree with but I respect their opinions if they know what they are talking about. I didn't even begin to know how to address his post. It was truly ridiculous.
I don't mean to pat myself on my back but I began schooling in a one room schoolhouse and I was reading at an eighth grade level in the first grade. In those days (the '50s) we had good grounding on history and weren't being indoctrinated by a teaching establishment composed of imbeciles. Many of my teachers came out of WWII or had lived through that time. My own family came out of the Great Depression and learned the hard way about the rules of life. Some of what I read and hear from young people today simply amazes me with their utter lack of understanding of history and their almost verbatim line of bulloney they are evidently being taught in school. Some of it of course comes from Hollywood but the bottom line is we are in a mellofahess if this example is a harbinger of the leaders of tomorrow.
Well, you do have some points. Americans can be arrogant and can look down on other peoples with little or no respect. Sometimes I feel exactly like you, feeling like we're just asking for people to hate us. But, as others have pointed out, we do a hell of a lot of good out there, giving loans, medicine, technology, military assistance, and reform to many nations that really need our help. Could we do more? Of course. Are we already doing a ton to help others? Yes.deep-illusions said:I am new to the forum, and I will begin my postings by telling you how the US has contributed in part to the operations of terrorists.

deep-illusion said:however it is most likely because there is no work in their own country. After all the U.S IS the richest country, it would be foolish not to learn their language, however the culture and history...nah. You mean Football? the American food? yeah, they may be the American culture, proud to eat it and play it, but not as much as other countries.
deep-illusions said:well if US is the best, why is it trillion of dollars in debt? I dont see the BEST being in debt.
deep-illusions said:Kwanzaa a US culture? St. Patrick's day? That is culture that comes from other countries, the fact that the US celebrates them doesn't mean its THEIR culture.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if any nation is not in debt?deep-illusions said:Well if US is the best, why is it trillion of dollars in debt? I dont see the BEST being in debt.
deep-illusions said:*Sigh* The facts you brought up can so easily be dismissed, that I won't bother on dismissing all of them
Why not? I gave you that respect. I'd didn't dismiss yours. I chewed them up and spat them back at you.
.Schools is definitly not what it used to be.True that U.S helps other countries, that issue went by me sorry, however, They buy their good only to sell them back for higher prices. protect them for your own benefit, like why protect Mexico or Latin American countries in a future?
Damn, a foil hatter at such a young age.Not because they are "friends" but because they provide oil. Yeah, immunize them to test if the new vaccine is effective in their own people.
Did you grow up in this country? How can your grammer and diction be so horrid? See now that you can't face reason and logic we move on to insults. (Sorry Lilith. Sometimes it has it's place.)The U.S DO help other countries, your facts however are kind of wrong.
Also why not call this nation...uhh.. United States like the dollar bill?? Thats what half the world does, you don't see England and France calling themselves Europe do you?
Lilith ahs that one for you. Don't you see everyone is handing you your ass?
Mexico? That's all you can come up with. What about our universities filled with foriegn students. Med school alone draws god knows how many from afar.yeah Mexico may send children here and learn the English language and such, however it is most likely because there is no work in their own country.
Medicine alone is reason to learnEnglish. Consider all pilots speak English. Go to any other country and sit in a bar and you (well maybe not you after 5 minutes) and you are surrounded by those wishing to talk to the AMERICAN. Wiessen sie das? Ni zhidao wode yisi ma?After all the U.S IS the richest country, it would be foolish not to learn their language, however the culture and history...nah.
You mean Football? the American food? yeah, they may be the American culture, proud to eat it and play it, but not as much as other countries.
Yes that too. Hamburgers, Bufalo wings, Philly cheese steak, Chef-boy-r-dee.
Well if US is the best, why is it trillion of dollars in debt? I dont see the BEST being in debt.
And what effect does that debt have on us? It comes and goes. It's fluid. A trillion is squat to AMERICA?
Kwanzaa a US culture? St. Patrick's day? That is culture that comes from other countries, the fact that the US celebrates them doesn't mean its THEIR culture.
What's the matter sport. I haven't come up with enough for you? You didn't like my previous examples? How about art, literature, music, sculpture, architecture, movies, dance, humor, all the crafts, what is it your looking for as a definition as culture. Ever hear the term melting pot? We have taken all these culture to our breast and added are own. We are more diverse than any other nation. You're not very bright are you? How can you be 17 and have such horid English skills. Want to see some home grown culture. View MY body of work in "The basement and flame on" thread "top ten lists and teacher abuse". It might not be highbrow enough for your obviuosly sophisticated ass but it a form of culture non the less. Like if you don't wise up I'll culture your ass with a top ten.
Oh thy verbage and loquasiousness doth smite me.The US is great, I just don't like it wanting to believe its the only country here.
talking about brain wash? I heard all the ideas you mention coming from Bush and many other candidates...how easily you eat from their hand.
Kelzie said:Try not to break your arm...Did you walk to school uphill both ways too?
And just because you don't agree with our opinions, doesn't mean you can insult our intelligence. We have ignorant people, and intelligent people, just like in your generation. Although, generally, I have found that people who stereotype an entire religion or age group, whatever their age is, are among the more ignorant.
Missouri Mule said:I'm sure there were well meaning Nazis in Hitler's regime as well. Certainly there were well meaning Communist apparachiks in the old Soviet Union. This is not about stereotyping. This is about reality. We had better get serious about the danger of Islamic extremism or we are certainly digging our own graves. I see that another 50 or so people were blown into so many little pieces in Egypt today. About 15 or so were just poor Muslim workers trying to make an honest days pay. But the terrorists don't care. They just want to kill people and especially Americans. Just ask bin Laden. He said he wanted to kill 4,000,000 Americans and 2,000,000 American children. I'm not very sympathetic to such talk. I see also that 25% of British Muslims believe the bombings in London were justified. Read on.
As a matter of fact I walked uphill (quite a steep hill) to my schoolhouse. In those days they didn't even have the school buses running. Two of my classmates were run over by a tractor trailer crossing U.S. 66 near St. Louis and I happened to be hit by a car crossing the same road earlier. Fortunately I was largely uninjured.
Kelzie said:I believe that there is a very large thread devoted to you stereotyping the Islamic religion, and Muslim people in general. I was talking about you degrading my generation because you disagree with some of our opinions.
Missouri Mule said:Degrading your generation? I have no idea what generation you are from. What generation is that? The one that was born with a silver spoon in their mouth and propaganda force fed by the liberal teaching establishment? That generation?
By contrast, I received my education from "The Greatest Generation" meaning the generation coming out of WWII that made it possible for people coming later to grow up and live in freedom. The generation that made great sacrifices so some here could write their silly screeds here. That's the generation I received my education from. I don't know about yours.
