i'm sure a plantation owner knew slaves better than me too. doesn't mean he wasn't a bigot.
1/17/2007 11:20:39 AM
saddam was kind of like a plantation owner now that you mention itgood thing the US invaded and took him out of power to "free the slaves"
1/17/2007 11:25:37 AM
considering this has nothing to do with my religious or political or otherwise any beleives...its just a fact. So this really doesn't make me a bigot. Am i mistaken to call a people who are known to over throw their leaders and always resort to viloence and otherwise animal like behavior...and are now in total anarchy and caos animals?
1/17/2007 12:07:39 PM
no, but sarijoul would be happy to call US soldiers madmen or something much worse...just dont insult the Iraqis!!

What am I being closed minded about? I think it's pretty cut and dried that I am calling a spade a spade, however, calling an entire group of people animals, is certainly elevently levels more extreme than that.Apparently, neither of you are intelligent enough to comprehend this and/or are just trolling in general.

1/17/2007 12:37:31 PM
^^no not at all. republicans chose to bind themselves over some sort of agreement in beliefs. i think it would be fair to generalize those beliefs in some contexts. saying all republicans are dumb would be unfair. saying republicans generally believe in a strong defense i think is fair. calling an entire country animals is not fair.and you've assumed all sorts of stuff about me that isn't true.[Edited on January 17, 2007 at 12:38 PM.

Considering I just came back from the region and that is the general opinion on the news. Also, even well before the war or before Bush even knew where Iraq was on the map....this was still the same opinion.and i'm starting to wonder why you always bring in my 'parents' and other 'family' members into your posts....did you grow up without a family or something and are jealous? :shrug:

no i'm saying one can make some reasonable generalizations about people who choose to align themselves together. many iraqis didn't choose to be in the current bind they're in. and even if they did, it wouldn't justify them being lumped as all being "animals" as you have done.here's an example:members of al qaeda believe in using violence to further their cause and spread terror. i think this generalization is fair. and it is about people who choose to align themselves with this group.i would not say that all muslims or arabs or whatever believe in using violence to further their cause and spread terror, because it is not true.[Edited on January 17, 2007 at 12:49 PM.

you're damned if you do, you are damned if you don't. So i guess by your last post it is safe to say that Iraqi's didn't chose to have saddam over thrown by bush and would much rather go back to the way it was pre-war?
1/17/2007 12:49:12 PM

1/17/2007 12:54:26 PM
^^i am just pointing out what makes them animals. You could have thought i called them animals because they eat off the floor and hunt each other down for food.ORbecause of their caveman like behavior where no law governs them and they roam freely killing anyone that opposes their opinion.^lol...kids these days.[Edited on January 17, 2007 at 12:55 PM.

the second statement implies the people doing the killing are the animals. the first just called the entire country animals. the second is far closer to the truth (though still painfully simplistic)

you actually bring up an interesting point Golovko...im sure we could all agree that there are some good and bad apples in every group of people, especially a large group like a country's populationi would say iraq has a lot more bad apples than some other groups, basing this opinion off the tens of thousands they have killed in the last few yearsbut if you think iraq was better with saddam in power, was it because he could "tame the animals"...that would mean they are animalsyet if iraq is better now, like i've been saying all along, then i guess iraqis are not all animals
