Someone willing to strap a bomb on his back and blow up a area full of adults/children etc is not going to be swayed by compromise.
The solution is to remove the institutions that educate people in such a way as to make suicide bombing an acceptable course of action, and kill those already infected. Harsh, brutal and simple, but we are dealing with a harsh, brutal, and simple philosophy.
In our attempts to be diplomatic and more understanding we have only made things worse.

Likewise my house representative is a republican so again, unless I want to say 'good job!' there isn't much point. So I vote, I tease my liberal friends, but unless Hillary gets elected in 2008 or the like, don't expect to see me chanting in the streets.

This doesn't belong in the poltics board, but should be in nonsense for a Darwin award. |

JinnKai, you might try posting in the politics forum a bit to get the feel for it before you worry about how we do things there. Perhaps you could try raising the level of discourse to the level you deem appropriate.
There are times when a 'one liner' is enough, and prevents you from going into a multiline rant. |
Ustwo, do you have any interest in sharing with the rest of us how you come by the opinions that you post? To me, what you post is not compelling or obvious enough just to accept, or to refute at face value. Please add some references to draw attention to "main stream", "source based" reports that I can use as a starting point to counter...or to agree with your all too brief points and arguments. Or.....are my suggestions too removed from your motivation to participate here ?
I've included the bulk of your recent posts here in the last ten days to provide you with a visual aid to further your understanding of my motivation for the questions and comments that I am directing to you. My opinion is that your are intelligent and politcally aware, and that you have much more to offer the rest of us if you choose to. How about it? |
