I am not going to call you a warmonger or disrespect you at all, respect is a two way street and your reply was respectful. I especially like the fact that you are honest and acknowledged that bad activity happens and that bad eggs exist in the military. I do not believe all those that are deployed act like this that would be unrealistic, and I am not delusional if I believe that this sort of activity does exist. There are plenty of people in here that will simply deny that any of this sort of activity happens, these people are the ones that discredit the military because they assist in allowing such activity to continue. It is impossible to eliminate bad people entirely, especially in a institution as massive as the united states military, that is common sence. it is important however to acknowledge these bad incidents and expose them so they may never be repeated un-noticed. Can you possibly share any experiences you have had, heard or observed where people have not followed the rules of engagement, or where there rules of engagement were what you felt inapropriate? If you honestly havn't had 'any' of these experiences, I would be suprised, but I don't think it is impossible. I am not here to flame you or anyone, in fact I am the one that is usually under attack and I have been known to bite back from time to time, but I have a respect for your honesty and wish to have at least some sort of intellegent conversation. I am genuinely interested in what happens over there and I don't believe enough people are. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

So you believe these incidents are probably made up and that every thing is all hunky dory over there? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

I checked the $100k plus circle. With my wife it is more like $200K Combined. it seems the republicans are getting axious to reveal thier income, probably because thy don't have that billion dollars just yet, they feel like they don't quite fit in? I am perfctly happy where I am financially, the only real improvement I could make is moving home and being my own operator. Which is happening this year by the looks of things. Then I could operate when I feel it is suitable and have a passive income when I retire. I'm living the Rhyso dream.

Icelandic modern media intititive It is about time someone grew a spine. I suppose when everything is taken from you, you start to think twice... Get your damage control skills out, Neo Cunts! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

just like i sit in my basment with a tin foil hat on! take a chill pill bro. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

What is common sence is that if there is a high percentage of nergroid people in the blue collar positions, there is probably a high percentage of negroids in the local community, if that is the case, they would fill the intellecual spectrum and therefore find thier way into management. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

terrific! Not at all, I like it that you work in a culturally diverse company, working in a hangar is describing blue collar work and I was intersted to see if that trend followed its way into management, it seems it has. I would not have thought you were racist working in such an environment and i never though I implied you were, it is possible to have an intellegent conversation in here is it not? or are we supposed to just mock one another? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

I dislike ‘anyone’ that harms someone unnecessarily. You are defending the practice of incarcerating innocent people in order to wage a war that is built on false pretences, the murder of innocent people. That is immoral. You could say nothing or agree that innocent people should not be kept, but instead you either want to disagree with me, or you want to defend these actions.

If you click on the link on the first post, you will se a current Fox news article on this bush admnistration whistleblower,it is big news. The right wing neo cunts will just deny it for a couple of days, apathy will set back in, and back to business as usual after that, back to blatant corruption and war crimes. It s quite pathetic, no one has got a spine anymore. Too fucking scared to look stupid or 'out of line'. Weak as weak can be... Just go with the flow. Morons! those you protect will shit on you at the drop of a hat. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

You are pretty damned loyal to those that like to murder and torture innocent civilians, who are you trying to kid? You will come up for an excuse for any atrocity, no matter how inhumane, and you defy logic and try to accuse those that point them out a traitors and idiots. This stoyy is hardly rinsed out, when it is all over the news, you seem to think it is 'old hat' and not woth discussion. Just sweep it under the carpet? You ought to be ashamed of yourself, you are indirectly responsable for the deaths and torture of innocent human beings and you act like it ws just a movie that you can review then forget about. Maybe we should shove a towel in your mouth and run water over it for a few hours, simulating your drowning, then maybe you might wake up and tell the truth? Then we can put you in court, and get you to admit to things you did not do... oh no thats right, you'll have right is court to say how we treated you, then you might tell everyone and expose our adgenda. Nah thats a bad idea, we'll just lock you up and throw away the key, we still might use some torture, just for fun though!

I think I can see where this is going, but I do not entirely understand your question entirely, can you be a little more detailed? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

Are you saying 'african americans' are for the blue collar? Doesn't the one with the best knowledge of the company and the most prominently proficient record get to climb the ladder, or is the ladder always pulled up before you get to it? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

can someone enlighten me as to what is offensive about the word negro? I don't recall ever hearing it used in a bad way, most cases I heve heard 'african american' people using it to refer to each other. Are you taught about negroids, mongoloids and caucasoids at school and possible separate australoids? Or do you just go to church? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

Get your facts straight bro; A kiwi is a bird, a flightless bird without wings. and an outstanding example of evolution. A 'kiwifruit' is a fruit that was renamed a number of decades ago for marketing purposes, they were previously referred to as 'chinese gooseberrys'. The name 'chinese gooseberry' was not good for marketing, back in those days... Why do 'you' think 'Chinese Gooseberry' wouldn't have been a good name for an export fruit in the 1950's?

Ha ha, Negro is short for negroid which is the scientific term for what you call black people. These people are not limited to America, though this conversation is about opression of negroid people in the USA, negroids are found in all reaches of the planet, just as Caucasians and Mongoloids are, as well as Australoids. Determining ones worth by where there ancestors came from is simply shallow, it is rife, and that is life but is it shallow and unintellegent. Such is life. I'll take your word for it and not call negroids, 'negros' in america. But whatever way you look at it; all negroids are negroids but not all negroids are black!

take your pick on which article to read ***George W. Bush knew many of the prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay were innocent but did nothing, according to documents filed in a recent lawsuit, The Times of London reports. The President, along with Vice-President Dick Cheney and then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, were allegedly afraid to release the men fearing the move could harm the effort in Iraq and the war on terror at large, a former top aide to former Secretary of State Colin Powell alleges in documents obtained by the Times of London. Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson made the statements in a signed declaration to support a lawsuit filed against American officials by Guantánamo detainee Adel Hassan Hamad, a Sudanese man who was held at Guantánamo Bay from March 2003 until December 2007. Mr Hamad claims that he was tortured by U.S. agents while in custody. Colonel Wilkerson, a critic of the Bush Administration’s counter terrorism tactics who served 31 years in the US Army, asserted: “He had absolutely no concern that the vast majority of Guantánamo detainees were innocent ... If hundreds of innocent individuals had to suffer in order to detain a handful of hardcore terrorists, so be it.” He alleged that for Cheney and Rumsfeld thought “innocent people languishing in Guantánamo for years was justified by the broader War on Terror and the small number of terrorists who were responsible for the September 11 attacks”. He added: “I discussed the issue of the Guantánamo detainees with Secretary Powell. I learnt that it was his view that it was not just Vice-President Cheney and Secretary Rumsfeld, but also President Bush who was involved in all of the Guantánamo decision making.” Spokespeople for Bush and for Rumsfeld have categorically denied the allegations, according to the Times of London. General Powell is likely to have backed Colonel Wilkerson’s declaration, the newspaper reports. source; DAILY NEWS "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

Can you explain what is so wow about the tern negro? I refrain from saying black or white when describing ones origin, since the term 'black' has been used so far, that would tell me we are talking about negro's? Where I come from it is considered disrespectful to call someone black, or white or yellow or red. From what I have learned, one cannot ascertain ones genus from the colour of their skin alone, I personally know more than one negro with pale skin (albinos), I know mongoloids that have red hair and freckles and I know Caucasians that have much darker skin than many negro. Genes are not all pure. The terms white and black and red are remnants from when blatant racism and slavery were not shunned in society and the true meanings of the terms are nothing more than racist and narrow minded. I prefer not to use them, but you are free to do as you please, but is suggest don't do it in a pub with Maori and Islanders in New Zealand, It could be hazardous to your health. They are not Negro they are mongoloids but they hate the term none the less and I respect that. The sooner people are simply 'people' regardless of what their genes are, the better! We have moved incredibly forward in this respect but it will take a few generations to die off before these general terms will disappear. America like with everything else, will take a few more decades to catch on! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

Cool, can you also say for the rest of the company? With such a high percentage of negro employees one would expect a high percentage in the mangement also. I would hope this is the case with your company? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

because they have been opressed since being in america, and as much as many think theat because negros are not slaves now that they have equal opportunity, because thier children buy rap musuc rom black artists and dvd from black actors etc. But the reality is, when a negro guy (or gal) comes into a middle classed environment to apply for a job and a caucasian guy has the same credentals, the caucasian guy will be chosen over the negro guy. Negros have to be exceptional to gain the same respects as a caucasian (excluding the music industry). This opression will generally lead to a higher level and number of crimes committed. If you cry BS, tell me how many negros you work with in relation to caucasians? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

Damage control. Your forte. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

When you indescriminately kill civilians, you end up killing children. Children are not the only people that deserve to live, but they are people we can all agree deserve to live regardless of creed or race (most of us will agree anyway). When a child gets caught up in this brutal epsode, it sheds light on how appaling this situation really is. America seems to have larned to live with the fact that this is an endless situaton and it will continue as long as the american people allow it to. More innocent people will die, more enimies will be created and more terror for all parties will continue. Only the military contractors will gain.

That depends on whether or not that 'country' supports or condemns the actions of these few. One would not have to look far around here to find people that support such behavior, but knowing well the creatures the slither here in the speakers corner, this is not indictive of the general publics' opinion. Most don't even know or couldn't give a shit, other wankers support this behavior and many will be outraged by seeing this. It is a war against humanity not a war against terror. The war is the terror. America is the terror, and america supports the terror. Stop killing children for fucks sake!
