Just my opinion, but as long as the country is not some sort of threat, I'm ok with them living any freaky kind of way they want. That even includes their way of governing, be it a religious state and/or dictatorship. Walt agreed. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Let's see, a religion comprised of about 1.4 Billion people, with a sliver of them causing mass chaos around the world, and the mass that is "moderate" does not speak up to condemn the extremists. It is a sort of endorsement via silence. While holding one's tongue has merits, it is a disservice to themselves, and it only adds to the deterioration of the bulk of the middle eastern region. That’s just points to how narrow your view has gotten. Let me ask you this. (My answer to all of these questions are yes by the way.) Does a country have the right to make its owns laws that it sees fit for the good of it’s society? Do a people have the right to follow their own customs? Do they have the right to protect what they view as sacred? As for causing mass chaos can you honestly say we the US have not done worst? We have 200-300K including the “contractors” we have just in Iraq. How many bases do we have in the Middle East? I think if you are looking at a group of people who have caused much chaos in the world. The US is number 1 by a huge distance.

You have to admit Salman Rushdie had a point though. Or are you claiming he is just another stupid person who doesn't understand Islam? No he is another author jumping on the bandwagon to make money. The majority of the western public specially in the US are great for feeding line and lines of bull shit too. as long as it fits with there narrow view you will have a top seller. Now make a book about how many great things Muslims have done and it won’t sell a copy. Because how could a crazy muslim do something good Oh wait 24 is on I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

You seem to be very tolerant of different views I agree with you about words or cartoons or what ever, however I also agree with Wendy about how it can be viewed as rude. But here is my question. What about a group of people who have a different view lets say a whole country that has a different way of living their life, different customs, and a different way of doing things. Should we respect there right to live the way they want even if it is not are way? Should we respect their right to practice laws that they as a country have chosen to follow for what they view to be the good of their society? I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

No there isn't. It's all part of the same problem, and that's where there's a disconnect. . Ok so how am I an extremist? I hate war, have friends of all faiths, color, and creeds. I don’t preach my religion to anyone, as I believe faith is a highly personal thing so tell me who is/how am i the extremist here? I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Types like Darius? what type is that may i ask? I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

HAHAHAHA god we never run out of stupid people do we? the sad part is we put them on the radio which means there are people out there who actually believe his crap. Some should have just been swallowed. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I guess I am lost did you even read the original article? Because if you did you would realize that you are talking apples and oranges. I don’t think anyone here has said it is ok to have sex with an unconscious person. What has been said over and over again is that if two people have been drinking and they decide to have sex. The next day you can't changed that to he raped me. If you can then the men should be able to claim the same thing right? I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

what the heck how did that happen. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

When I read the poll I wanted to vote no for obvious reasons, but after reading the article I can see what he is comparing and he is right on the money. Without the fear politics (code orange, code red, code Salmon) that occurred after 9-11 GWB would simply not have been able to do all that he has. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

“From my cold dead hands” An armed public is a safe public. Criminals still will get the guns from other sources, we should make it easy for the general public to be able to arm them selves. What is that saying “I rather be tried by twelve then carried by six" When it comes down to it that about says it all. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

McNamara I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I loved it so much i did this http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2189998;search_string=The%20fog%20of%20war;#2189998 I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I am very happy being in a relationship that gives me lots of alone time. If I have to choose between being in a good relationship that gives me very little or no alone time and being alone I would choose alone. I was not always this way but as I get older the more and more alone time I want. Plus I have a blast by my self (yes I know I left my self-open on this one) I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

There is a double standard and if you bring it up or mention anything you’re a sexiest woman-hating fuck. We have a double standard in are divorce courts, child molestation cases and accusations of rape. I have asked this question before? What should happen to a person who lies about rape? Like for example the woman in the Duke case. I believe if it were proven beyond a doubt that the accuser is lying they should serve the prison term of the accused would have. If you are not unknowingly drugged, threatened, or forced it is not rape. You decide to drink as an adult, you decide who and where you drink, and you decide to have sex then tough cookie cupcake it’s not rape. Edit to add I wonder if this girl knows how much she hurts woman who have actually been raped, also if I remember correctly rape is not about sex it is about power. So in a case like this where it was about sex there was no violence no threats, no drugs I wonder why she is bent on fucking someone’s life up. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

It would be great if we learned from our mistakes but ignoring what we don’t want to believe seems to be the common trait. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

24 hours and still nothing ha. Weird you were posting right away before you made your false statement. Ok now you know why I ignore your posts. They have no facts and their roots are planted in hate and nothing more. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

When did i say that? Provide a link where I said “if the US attacks Iran I will side with Iran and go to war against the US” I can gladly provide a link to what I quoted you to say as a matter of fact I copied and pasted. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1058183;search_string=towel%20head;#1058183 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1036779;search_string=towel%20head;#1036779 So how about this you provide where I said exactly what you say I did, and then I will look at the other questions. You are lacking credibility. You see most every post you have made has ZERO facts they are made just to inflame so prove me wrong with a link; unless of course you are just making shit up as usual. Now I will go back to ignoring you until I see your link to where I said “if the US attacks Iran I will side with Iran and go to war against the US” Ball is in your court I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I have found you and falxori posts informative, and I find that you have kept your cool and have done lots of research that simply prove your point. We have been down this road before on other threads. I remember one where me and a fellow DZ.comer were discussing the systematic massacre (woman and children) and destruction of Palestinians villages back in the 40s. We reached the same point. You provide facts take the time to provide dates time and places. Every time you have been challenged I have not seen one person be able to challenge your facts. They seem to challenge your point of view. I think some believe it is ok to kill woman and children as long as it is not there woman and children. I always find it amazing when people who normally value life can easily look at a number and just shrug or brush it off as necessary. As for Juan I wouldn’t take someone who proudly refers to all Muslims as towel heads as he has done on here before seriously. That is like trying to explain to a KKK member why African Americans should have equal rights. His mind is already made up. (to the mods if this is an attack please let me know and I will remove it, however it is fact) Here are just a few of his enlightened posts. “I feel ok as long as it is not a towel head knocking on my door at 7 am. “ “If I see a towel head, I will make sure I send GWB's regards before helping them to get to his 72 virgins.” You get the picture. My advice (just from my experience in SC) don’t waist your time on people who are so lost they can not be found. The ones I care about are the ones who are looking for facts to make up their mind not the ones who have made up their minds and make up facts to go with there beliefs. I also agree with you 100% that the problem is not one sided, however when most of the US population only gets to see a very slanted one sided view of things I find my self on the other far end just so we could met in the middle. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Are you attempting to justify the “production of Palestinian orphans” because of good CPU designs? I am beginning to understand why you side with the Israelis on this issue if you value Palestinian life less then microchip then it all makes perfect sense I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Yea I agree with you. We are actually having two well-informed people discussing the subject and staying civil. Lets keep it that way, and way the go to both idrankwaht and flexori for keeping it on subject, polite, and non-inflammatory. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I am sure if you had to deal with what Palestinians go through daily you would change your tune as well as would most. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Yea dude they crack me up. The one where the dude gets closed line love it. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain
