The home page http://www.alyaum.com/ is all in Arabic, no idea what’s going on here, other than the OP has obvious issues with the recent Iraq war.
Going to the last link, the Robert Fisk site, it has this disclaimer:
But ya know, I looked at every one of those pix, and they’re all just pictures of regular people–people walking, people sleeping, people with their hands raised being arrested, a shot of three shrouded bodies in coffins, a shot of a man weeping, and overall, except for one pic of a guy with the bandaged stump of an amputated arm (and the fact that he was flashing a “peace” sign at the camera with his other hand tended to detract from the “shock value”), there wasn’t a thing in there I’d mind if my 12-year-old daughter saw.
So, Inssanah, welcome to the Straight Dope Message Board. I notice from a quick Google search that you, or somebody with your same posting style, has been posting to another vBulletin board with much the same content.
Here in the Comments area, it’s customary to provide a link to the column you’re referring to. Which one would that be, exactly?
Regarding, “Is that all u could come up with?!”, do you have a cite for how that man was injured? Is he an Iraqi or an American soldier? When and where was that picture taken?
Are those people with their arms in the air being chased or shot, or are they waving “hello” to the people who have liberated their country? Could you provide a little context for your pictures so we have something we can comment upon?
We can’t respond to your questions when they’re so vague, other than in the way DDG did above.
Well, I want to read thoughtful commentary written in grammatically correct (or near so) English. I also find all cap letters to be really annoying as a posting style.
It makes u sound so smart to spk like u are in middle school. i think ur finding it much to hard to type out wurds fully. ppl on thiz board like 2 c ppl use gd grammer and sp. words out.
Be nice, guys- it looks like she/he’s from Saudi Arabia (KSA= Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) and I doubt English is his/her first language. Plus, she/he clearly feels pretty strongly about this. A thorough SDMB-style mocking for bad grammar certainly isn’t the first impression I’d want to give him/her of our infidel message board.
Hey,** Inssanah ** I recommend that you read several threads on this board, and get famaliar with the thoughts of it’s posters. You will find, that it is a diverse board. There are people who rabidly support G.W. Bush and the war, there are just as many people who are against the war. There are people of many different cultures and lifestyles here, and they all have something to say. They are from many countries as well.
Why don’t you come back here after you are done with the assignment, and see why I say you are being kinda silly in my opinion. You assumed that everyone here on this board was from the United States of America. Untrue. Coldfire is in Amsterdam. You assumed that everyone that posts here is pro-war. Again, untrue.
I think maybe, if you take the time to look around and get to know this place, you might find you kinda like it and decide to stay. You’ll have to behave yourself, and follow the rules of course…
My guess is we aren’t going to hear from Inssanah again. When you consider that she posted the same thing to another messgae board at the same time my guess is this is a hit and run. Sort of a rant at the infidels and all. Of course I hope she proves me wrong but I doubt it.
