It’s called Trinitite (the glass) 😃

If we are going to be hated, then let us be hated and FEARED. An act like this demands a positively Roman response. Let the world know that there will always be an enormous price to pay.

No, I said “backsides” because it has better scanscion. Of course, since your mind is driven entirely by prejudice and ignorance, you came to the conclusion you reached. You really can’t help it, I suppose, given that bigotry is the fundamental underpinning of your worldview.

You are not yet universally hated. Invoke fear through tyranny and you will be.

While I personally think Aldebaran is an asshole, I take great offense at your use of the words “your kind”. I would say you are treading DANGEROUSLY close to crossing the line of hate speech (if you haven’t in fact already crossed it), which is forbidden here.

I get the impression that he’s talking about people who use rhetoric and think like **Aldebaran** , not all Saudis/Arabs in general. JMHO. I’m sure he’ll clarify it.

I may be wrong, but I think I understand the point **Dogface** was trying to make. I hate the stupid fuckers that can ignore in a disspasionate way the desecration of American soldiers. Men and women, who unlike others are professionals, American servicemen and women do not enlist to kill people they hate. They enlist to serve their country. It is not their fault that this stupid freakin country allowed GWB to steal the election, they still must follow orders. I can assure you that unlike the muslim fucks, most Americans did not join the military to kill specific groups of people.

The dumbass sheep that follow OBL think that America is the cause of all the problems faceing the Arab World. They never stop to think that maybe Islam is the problem . I spit on them I show them the bottom of my foot I touch them with my left hand!

I do not understand how a person could rationalize killing innocent people who not only do not mean them harm, do not even know they exist.

Well, yes, his post was quite clear.

I understand what he means. And he is no better than those who would justify terrorim on innocent populations.

I have said many times they are victims just as much as the Iraqis. But Iraqis are dying in much higer numbers and nobody gets worked up about it as they do when Americans are killed. They are all victims but there are many more Iraqi victims.

Well, Iraqis fighting to expel the invaders are fighting for their homeland. It seems to me like one of the most acceptable reasons to fight: to defend your homeland against the invaders.

And this is realted to America’s invasion of Iraq in what way, again?

I agree. And yet many people on this board are rationalizing thousands of Iraqi deaths as a small price to pay for a good end.

I humbly beg forgiveness for even posting on this thread. I was driven by momentary pique and animal lusts. Satan whispered in my ear, and I was too eager to listen. Not only were my remarks sin and disgrace, but I lowered myself to the level of a mere beast, to the vile atrocity-commiting level of those who would mutilate and celebrate over the corpse of another person. I beg forgiveness for this and hope that I will not sink to such a bestial level again.

I am not one of them.

I cannot imagine what would constitute “a good end” to the irrational attack on Iraq.

It is their country, if they didn’t have the balls to stand up to a piece of shit like Saddam I don’t see why Americans should have to. I regret all the lives lost but because I am American and served in the American Army I am particularly sensitive to the callous way the curent administration chooses to throw away the lives of American (and Iraqi) youths for no fucking reason.

Disgusting.

If **Aldebaran** has ever made a post celebrating the death of any one, I haven’t read it. Is he unhappy with US foreign policy? Absolutely. Does he want us out of the middle east? Certainly. Does he long for the death of all USers? Nope.

I may disagree strongly with his positions, and his debating style. But, as a person, I like **Aldebaran**.

The posts of **Dogface** and **BwanaBob** in this thread, sicken me.

Why do people have to repeat “Third Worlder” over and over. It smacks of racism, or more precisely economic determinism (i.e. people in ‘good’ countries don’t behave this way). Most Third World peoples are quite peaceful, given the widespread poverty and degredation they have to cope with. Yes these people in Falluhaj are savages, as were the Al-Qaeda bombers on 9-11. But some of the worst savages of the last 100 years had white skins, went to Christian churches, and listened to opera.

And, that, of course, would include my apology that is just two posts above yours. Nice to know that sincere apology is wasted here.

Well, I do not know him/her as a person, but as a poster he/she seems to be an elitist snob who thinks simply being born in America means one is an ignorant aggressive empirealist dumbass. (maybe I have misread his posts, but I do not think so)

example of arrogance:My post is my cite

and my personal favorite is his signing every post with Salaam A.

I say A. Salammi to you Aldebran, you arrogant prick…
