Evidently, you suffer from delusions of adequacy. If you stopped talking out your ass your breath still wouldn’t improve.
My sympathies to your father – in the odd chance that your mother might know who he is.
To Curious Canuck, FinnAgain, jjimm, Mighty_Girl, RedFury and ShockingAlberto, who take issue with my dismissive attitude toward the rest of the world.
Let me just say that I do not respond well to this sort of thing:
In Britain’s Daily Mirror, Brian Reade credits GWB’s victory to: “The self-righteous, gun-totin’, military-lovin’, sister-marryin’, abortion-hatin’, gay-loathin’, foreigner-despisin’, non-passport-ownin’ rednecks, who believe God gave America the biggest dick in the world so it could urinate on the rest of us and make their land ‘free and strong.’”
To which I respectfully respond:
FUCK, YEAH!!!
Respectfully, eh?
This has to be a joke. No one could be willfully as ignorant as you. In an ironic sort of way, you have to work pretty fucking hard to be that clueless.
I think you do, sad as it is. Funny thing is, you seem to be speaking for a lot of Iraqis, too.
I’m an American who isn’t pleased with our foreign policy (just to get that part out of the way). I’m not exactly a fan of Koffi Annan, however. I’ve been reading about a scandal at the U.N. that he dismissed, saying that there was not enough evidence. An internal investigation supports the women in question, however Annan has said that he was given legal advise that it wouldn’t stand up in court. The sitiuation left me scratching my head a bit, one would think with some of the allegations over the years (example from 2002), the U.N. would want the higher ranking officials to be on their best behavior.
Simply to quibble, I take issue with the fact that I have to apologize to people from other countries and point out that I am not like certain xenophobic idiots in my country.
Let me just say that I do not respond well to this sort of thing:
America, FUCK YEAH!
Coming again to save the motherfucking day yeah!
Kofi Annan is one lousy human being. The miserable, incompetant dude almost always takes the side of the terrorist/evil people regardless. His latest verbal diahrea included some whining about not going in and taking Fallujah. Is that guy for real or what ? :smack:
The UN has gone from being a once well intended organisation, and has turned into a useless, impotent, corrupt, terror friendly debating club, not to mention that the UN hates a certain group of people, some of whom look like this dude ;j.
That’s my take on Kofi Annan. The dude is useless. Anybody know what religion he is by the way ? After spending a few minutes on Google, I was unable to find anything, as if it’s a secret or something. To be honest, I am suspicious of the guy and his intentions.
I confess that I was unable to resist a Team America-style response to Mr. Reade at the Daily Mirror. It just seemed sooo appropriate.
And by your reaction to that and my previous posts, all of you, CuriousCanuck, FinnAgain, jjimm, Mighty_Girl, RedFury, ShockingAlberto and SpinyNorman have proved beyond all doubt that, if Liberals share one quality, it is the total lack of a sense of humor. What a bunch of dour-faced wussies and Euroweenie wannabees!
But to return to the original bone of contention:
In spite of all you say, you do not disapprove of me because I am some jingoistic, super-patriotic, Neocon cowboy. Oh, no, not at all. You actually disapprove of me (and Americans like me) because I am so unreasonable that I refuse to condemn my President, renounce my country, and crawl on my belly to beg forgiveness from foreigners for the unholy sin of being an American citizen.
If you want a self-loathing, America-hating belly-crawler, you can have Michael Moore.
Kofi’s job description is to mediate and try and prevent wars if at all possible, I don’t think you can blame him for trying to get the US and Iraq to talk out a peacful solution. And until 9/11, the various solutions that Kofi mediated did succeed in their primary purposes of preventing Iraq from gaining WMDs and keeping the US from rolling tanks into Baghdad, though the compromises he found were far from perfect.
As for him thwarting efforts to get the UN to take action, I think your again overestimating Annan’s influence. The UN security council decides what actions the UN takes, and while Annan probably has a little influence, I can’t imagine that the SC member countries let themselves be heavily swayed one way or another in voting on something that had the international importance of the lead up to the Second Gulf War.
Kofi Annan did what he was supposed to do as UN SG, which was to try and work out a peaceful solution, it’s not his place to rubber stamp an invasion.
Hrmmm…
nope, that’d be the reason alright…
No, see, I don’t apologize for being an American.
I apologize for people like you who happen to be Americans.
I apologize for the actions of my president.
I apologize for crimes committed around the world in the name of America.
Guilt by association and all that.
(By the way, you might want to stop using the word ‘foreigner’, makes you sound like a xenophobic twit)
Oh, and by the way, if you don’t take the president to task for his failings, if you don’t renounce American atrocities, you’re not doing your job as a citizen.
Shame on you.
I see your point and I will concede that by and large you correct. However, I don’t see that it’s his place to adopt a peace-at-any-price stance. Such a philosophy can never accomplish anything other than to allow bully nations to have their way. You can’t have a fair fight if only one side follows the rules, and you can’t have a pro-peace philosophy that results in any kind of good if you aren’t willing to fight for peace when confronted by one who won’t play by the rules.
What does his religion have to do with anything?
Since you’re hinting at him being antisemite, I assume you’re suspecting him of being secretly one of these evil and untrustworthy muslims whose elders are writing protocols in Zi…Ho! Sorry…I’m mixing up two different stories…You know, with the secret, the conspiracy, the religious issue and all that jazz, it’s way to easy to mistake one hate speech for another.
I fully approve! And in order to avoid that, we must allow bully nations to have…err…
Forget about it…
You you piece of shit. I’d rather blame it all on your whiney ass, than blame decent hardworking Americans, who you consider a lower type of people just because they didn’t select a leader you hoped they did. When you go on about how much a mess the US army is creating in Iraq, or how its a criminal Army with its head as a butcher, then be expected to get some stick back.
Retard.
How nice it must be to be able to dismiss those that disagree with you as whiny and america hating. It must make it ever so much easier to sleep at night to know that, since 59 million (give or take) voted for bush, that they all must agree with you and share your simplistic viewpoint, and the rest are simply moaning because they’re guy lost and are thusly wrong in every way. :dubious:
To be fair, it must be just as easy to dismiss that same 59 million as a bunch of jingoistic gun toting christian nazi wannabes who can’t get out of bed without saluting the flag, reciting the pledge, and kissing the framed portrait of Karl Rove that they keep on the bedside table. :dubious:
Roseworm, I disapprove of you because you are a jingoistic, super-patriotic, Neocon cowboy. I disapprove of you because you seem to be revelling in ignorance. I disapprove of you because your response to criticism or contrary ideas and thoughts is a hearty “Fuck you! I’m american!” My advice to you is to turn down the Toby Keith, quit masturbating on the american flag, and look at a world map. See those countries that aren’t the United States? I know, there’s a lot of them. Each and every one of those countries has an opinion. Some of them may not agree with yours, but you really should listen to them anyways. It may work wonders on your mind and on your sorry excuse for a personality.
Ryan_Liam…
Just read my first paragraph. Blaming hard working americans indeed. That has to be the second dumbest post (Roseworm is in the lead for the dumbest) I’ve ever seen on this board and I’ve been here a while.
Also, did you maybe mean “with a butcher as it’s head?” Not trying to be a prick -about that at least- just looking for a clarification.
As for nearly everyone else in this thread, please stop referring to whoever voted for Bush as stupid, misguided, or any other back handed remarks you feel like making. Think hard on the definition of ignorance, and think about whether or not you are fighting it.
I wouldn’t have put it that harshly, but if you insist: Yeah, those are attitudes I pretty much disapprove of. In Americans as much as anyone else, understand.
I respectfully respond,
No wonder Bush won.
Didn’t America attack because Sadam ignored UN directives about weapon inspections?
Seems there are more then one country that ignores the UN.
There only seems to be one country in the “Western world” who thinks they are above the UN. Well not one country, just one president and his followers.
Why is America special? Why are they above the UN?
Misrepresentation of those with whom he disagrees seems to be this guy’s superpower.
Certainly Annan would be wrong if he thought he should seek “peace at any cost”. I just don’t think that’s what he’s been doing. He supported the threat of force in the late 90’s and the use of force on Serbia to force them out of Kosovo despite the fact that this latter action circumvented the Security Council. I don’t know what his position was on the First Gulf War (he wasn’t SG at the time), but I’d be suprised if he wasn’t in favor of it.
Annan criticized the build up to the Iraq invasion because he thought (and I agreed) that diplomacy had not yet failed. The inspectors were continuing with their job, had not yet uncovered anything, and the main complaint of the US was that they knew Iraq had weapons, so the fact that none had been found was proof Iraq was hiding something. If the weapon inspectors declared Iraq was either intractably incoperative or was continuing its weapons programs, and Kofi had still ruled out the use of force, I would agree with you.
I don’t want to turn this into yet another arguement on whether the war was justified or not. Just realize that many people don’t agree with you that it was, that not all of them were blindly seeking peace at any price, and that Kofi Annan was one of these people. It was his job to exhaust diplomatic options before force was used, and in his view that had not yet been done.
