Many of my close friends from a young age are either officers enlisted in the service. Ask them what the kids in Iraq are like.. Now tell me it is our fault for instilling fear in them.. No you fool, THEY started this.. The "religion" they follow says we are infidels and it is OK to kill us. They are doing it in the name of Allah. My buddies take pride in killing these people. Is that wrong? I don't think so.
I would love to see if you would have the BALLS to confront them face to face about this. My guess is no. You, as would most liberals, would not look them in the eye and say you were ashamed. You sir, as are most liberals, a p****..
As I said to you in my pm, I wish you could have talked to my Gramps to see what made America great. It was not you dude... |
Hmm "they started this?" Are you now going to propose that all Muslims are responsible for 911?
Ok (sigh why do I bother) here goes;
Lesson #2 for our racist, elitist friend.
More people have been killed in the name of "god" than all the world wars, military campaigns, skirmishes, or military actions (whatever label you like feel free to apply) combined.
I would point to that popular book titled "The Holy Bible" as my resource for this. God did command the Israelites to slay every man woman and child so as not to lead astray Gods chosen people. Fast forward and then you have the "Crusades" and "the Spanish Inquisition." Too far back in history for you?
Ok how about something closer to home? "look up the Salem Witch trials." Or how about the "Trail of tears?"
Still too far back for you? OK then lets look at Japanes American internment in the wake of Japans attack on Pearl Harbor. Approximately 110,000 Japanese Americans were forced into "war relocation camps."
Admiral William F. Halsey is quoted as saying in 1944; " The only good Jap is a Jap who's been dead for 6 months."
This sounds alot like your position against "Muslims."
OF course its ok now because our government has said "we are sorry."
We are sorry to the Native Americans. We are sorry to the Japanese Americans.
Learn some history my friend and expand your mind.
The reason history is SO important is so we do not repeat the SAME mistakes over.
I fear no man I assure you. I speak my mind to any and all who choose to engage me in conversation. Of course my rather large stature has probably been why others have chosen to "agree to disagree" with me rather than escalate to any kind of physical confrontation.
You see my friend "bullies" rely on intimidation. Intellectuals rely on their ability to convey concepts through language.
Another tidbit for you; " A wise man can learn more from a fool, than a fool can of a wiseman." Think about it. I bet if you ask your girlfriend she will understand it and maybe if you are nice to her she will explain it to you. Have a nice day friend.
