aparently some of you think i am a bush supporter, or even a supporter of the war. sry guys, but your ignorance is apparently your own bliss. bashing the fundamentalist states and leaders of the middle east shows my disdain for the bush administration, hell, even of conservatism. it's the conservatives that keep the bullcrap alliances with our "friends" in the middle east. i am wholly aware that the bush administration is trying to wage war against islam. my position on islam is an idependant view of our policies here in the U.S. for the record, f*ck the war in iraq. f*ck imperialist aims by the american right, and f*ck bush in his coked up, illiterate, racist, money grubbing ass.

Note: Insulting others and questioning others isn't going to give you a lot of time on this board at all.

And my point is simple, I've had the same argument time after time, and they all end up about the same:

1: Islamic terrorists are evil. They must be killed and exterminated.
2: Its not just them, there are tons of people who are evil.
1: Well, these Islamic terrorists are the problem now.
2: Why Islamic? Why not terrorists in general?
1: Because their religion is to blame.
2: But their religion preaches nothing of the sort. These fringe extremists are to blame.
1: Well their politics is using religion as a tool.
2: And when have they not? Religion has been a factor in getting people to a cause, but has never mattered in the politics.
1: But they're evil in their cause and should be taken out.
2: But that will just create more.

And on and on the circular logic goes.

Heck, I think i should make entire threads where I argue with myself from both views - it would save a lot of time.

I think you should be the one re-reading where I said it was the same type of thread over and over again..

And if not.. well then, enjoy your short time around.

MOD NOTE:

This thread is a good example of why we have rules, and why we ask that everyone follow them to the letter- especially here in the Politics forum.

This type of sarcastic nit-picky attacking (Asterlite) is completely out of line in this space, and really anywhere on the TFP as a whole. This is not in keeping with ANY notion of respect to fellow posters or general decorum. This type of thread degredation is exactly what we aim to keep out of our community, away from our serious debate, and out of the way of our members.

If anyone doesn't understand what I mean by respect or decorum, please PM me and I will be more than happy to enlighten you. If you read the rules of the forums and have trouble understanding them, by all means PM me and I will do my best to help you out.

Simply refusing to adhere to the rules is not an option, and repeat offenders will find themselves on the other side of the fence, looking in at a ban. This is not a threat, it is a promise- and one that I keep.

It is also a good to point out to not take flame baits. I know it's hard, I know you want to respond and get that last word in, but just don't do it. In the end, it helps nothing, and you really will not feel any better for it- plus you'll have a PM from a moderator asking you nicely to not do it again anyway.

This could have been a good discussion, but now we'll never know.
