peacefuljeffrey 0 #1 February 7, 2006 CNN story From the story: QuoteThe protests came as Iran announced it had cut off all trade ties with Denmark. A report on the state-run news agency IRNA said Iranian Commerce Minister Massoud Mirkazemi stopped trade with Denmark as the government's response to the cartoons. It said that while trade has been stopped, certain machinery and medicine will be allowed in for another three months. You bunch of fuckin' pussies. "To protest the inaction of the Danish government in restraining freedom of its press, we will punish Denmark by boycotting it... ...um, except for those things we get from it that we really don't want to do without..." Fuckin' assholes. The rest of the world should boycott YOUR country, and not send it shit for medicine, machinery, food, etc. So sorry that our FREEDOM entitles us to make fun of you and your religion even if it bothers you. Grow the fuck up. --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rest of the world should boycott YOUR country, and not send it shit for medicine, machinery, food, etc. +1 Bonus point for Humanity You misread it, Iran will ACCEPT nothing, except the necessities. No humanity involved in their stance at all. The exception is self serving. Maybe humanity score to those Denmark if they do still send medicines. But nothing accrues to Iran in their statement. Unless you were just responding personally to PJ rather than to the article content. In that case, good luck, lots of people waste their time passing judgment on PJ. ...

Please be clearer. - More of a request for clarity, I'm not certain if the +1 point is going to Denmark, Iran or You. Nor which is sincere or in irony. In your case, the same people that preach tolerance don't practice what they preach with you. So I'd defend you for being direct but you aren't asking for help. I'm not a fan of the profanity, but so what? I'll respond to your content, not gig on you. That's for the children that can't stay on topic. ...

I don't try to play the picked-on martyr, but you're sure right about the way people here single me out for scorn and derision for doing nothing that they don't do themselves. I really suspect that it has to do with pointing out their hypocrisy or the illogic of their positions on a lot of subjects, and them not liking being exposed very much. That and they just can't abide that someone would have STRONG views that are in opposition to their own. --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

BellyFlailer 0 #8 February 8, 2006 Does anyone else find it funny that. Danish cartoonist makes cartoon of Mohammad with a bomb strapped to his head. Stereotyping muslims as terrorists. Muslims are angered by the insinuation that their prophet, and themselves, are psychopathic terrorists. Muslims respond by burning a likeness of the Danish president, holding up signs saying "those that mock islam will be slain, have heads severed, ect,ect, ect." It's like the protesters said "how dare they suggest that we're violent, lets kill them" I think peaceful protest without threatening signs and burning dummies would have been much more effective. The protesters proved the cartoonists point. http://www.SkydiveVids.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #11 February 8, 2006 QuoteIt's like the protesters said "how dare they suggest that we're violent, lets kill them" Muslims appear to be very emotional people who act before they think. I read that some Egyptians trashed the offices of the company who's ferry sunk last week. It sounds like the boat was old and not up to snuff maintenance wise, so it's understandable that the people would not be happy with the company. But they rioted and trashed the place just like they've been trashing the embassies. I wonder if the seven people who've died in Afghanistan riots in the last two days are happy with their decisions to riot instead of doing something else that day?

peacefuljeffrey 0 #14 February 8, 2006 QuoteMuslims appear to be very emotional people who act before they think. In Florida, we note that hispanics are often the same way. I can't tell you how many times I have read about someone stabbing his brother or his wife to death -- usually in a situation that involves drinking -- and I then see the name indicates he/she is a hispanic immigrant in all likelihood (or at least of very recent hispanic descent). Now, I know people will challenge me on that, call me bigoted, racist, stereotyping, asshole, etc. But the fact is, so-called stereotypes of hispanics getting very heated about perceived slights and insults (gee, a lot like muslims) have come about for a reason: it's something that has been observed, and observed to a noticeably greater degree than other ethnicities. Do with that what you will. --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I was thinking of them as well as another certain European nation that sided with Germany at the beginning of a war and then changed teams 1/2 through the war when it started to become clear that Germany would not win. But I didn't want to bring them into the mix. I'm just glad the seperatist Quebecois aren't all that violent and yes they are also very emotional people. But what do you expect.

SpeedRacer 1 #19 February 8, 2006 on the BBC website there is a headline that reads: "Four die in Afghan cartoon riot" Being the sick fuck that I am, I imagined some cartoon Afghans dying by falling off a cliff & then having an anvil fall on them. Just before it hits they whip out a tiny sign that says "Help!" hmmm maybe I shouldnt have posted that....

MrBounce 0 #20 February 8, 2006 QuoteWe've got legions of profoundly stupid and weak-minded sheeple led by whack-job Mullahs who do their thinking for them...WTF do we expect to happen? People seem to forget that these people seen rioting are not the majority of the population. Also, they are peasants, and I don't mean that in the Marie Antoinette "Ooo the peasant are revolting!" sense. I mean that in the sense that they are barely literate and rely on their priests and authority figures to tell them what is going on. Think medieval peasants burning witches or catholics because the priests told them to and you'll get my idea. I did some checking over of the story on the bbc news website and it seems that these people are being led by people who are deliberately provoking them. The original cartoons weren't sufficiently offensive, so the mullahs and imams deliberately included further pictures including ones that make mohammed look like a pig in order to get this reaction. Lastly, these riots and burnings started in Syria and Lebanon, which means that they were govt sponsored. If you want your people to stop paying attention to what you're doing, get them focussed on something else. Remember, most of these people have no recent history of self determination, thats why we can but hope that education and democracy will help them to learn to think for themselves.

How dare we push our values of democracy in the middle east. Bush is evil in thinking that he can start a democracy in a country ran by a dictator. They need to remain under the manipulation and censorship of their dictatorships and govt controlled media, that way we have to excuse their actions when stuff like this occurs. Down with Bush!!!! We need to look the other way when the world runs into these problems, and be more accepting of violence and oppression. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diverborg 0 #24 February 8, 2006 So my proposal would be to pull out of Iraq just like everyone wants, that way civil war can break out and another extremist dictator or president can continue to keep his country on a brainwashed leash and remain a threat to other countries. That way we can continue to excuse this behavior and refrain from judging anyone. Shame on us for judging their culture. Let the corrupt govt's win. The world will get along fine with Israel demolished anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's too late to pull out and let the country turn (again) to shit and then stand back and say, "See, we told you what would happen without us," because the left will just say, "Well, it happened only because we went in in the first place." It will be forever non-disprovable (in the left's argument) that Iraq would have been just fine and never a threat to anyone ever again if we had just stayed out.
