Option idea: honoring geneva conventions?

[smoth]

and?

[Regret]

just because people like forb have objectionable political views does not mean you should condemn the soldiers of my country.

and?

[smoth]

it doesn't mean he should wish ill on the soldiers.

Apparently some Europeans feel themselves closer to muslim fundamentalists than to the US.
Probably cause they have no clue,sitting on their couch living their civilized life with their western neighbors in their quiet neighborhood.
But it's ok now they have Obama that will save america from itself by sending more troops to afghanistan...well as long as he is charismatic it's ok.

Hell,id stand and shout "obama" and "yes we can" in those gigantic support rallies,tearing as he stands near the podium.
As the crowed goes wild i'd probably remmeber Leni Riefenstahl's propoganda movies and realize that back than they sure could organize a crowed better.

That is a typically american concept! Please don't throw all northerners into the same bag.

in their quiet neighborhood

As opposed to Canada and Mexico being so loud you had to toughen up and build walls in the desert?

[smoth]

you people make me sad. You talk so loudly about a country you have never visited enough to understands even one portion of it's people.

in the end I think all people just want food, shelter and some sort of future for their offspring.

Wrong.
Some people dont care about money or property and are willing to die for a cause,as in knowingly going to their death or put themselves in extremely risky or dangerous situations without any material benefits or a paycheck like say, a US soldier.

As oppose to people who come into contact with radicals.
I guess some just prefer to think that if they just sit tight and don't do anything "disturbing" everything will be ok and that everyone just wants to quietly lead a western way of life if they are just allowed to.
It's western arrogance mixed with a naive self centered world view.

who says shelter is propery? Who says food is paid for. you can live in the forest.

and are willing to die for a cause,as in knowingly going to their death or put themselves in extremely risky or dangerous situations without any material benefits or a paycheck like say, a US soldier.

There are many many us soldiers who are really pure hearted good guys who think joining the military is to protect their country and the freedoms of their fellow Americans. Not about the money, if they wanted that they could do better things with their time. I keep saying it and I mean it. You do not know these people and judge them without knowing them. That makes you as bad as the rednecks screaming for the deaths of Muslims. You need to contemplate your own words and look at how short sighted they are.

quoted for truth.

Gota the problem starts when the offspring is a no-future generation in a ressource-supply-dictatorship (that stabilizes itself by rigid-religion) and makes about 30 % of the population. then things get messyianic.

And i think, i was wrong wishing for anybodys death, i was just reading that damned counterinsurgency Field manual at that time, and wow, the holy petraues says shortened "we can freeze conflict at best temporary (leading to the ressource-supply-dictatorship mentioned above at best)- everything else has to be solved by politicans. And the politicians, well they send over more troops, promising everything will be solved by the generals. I wish i had hands like Shiva so i could facepalm adequate..

[smoth]

funny how the politicians profit off the lives off our more courageous youth.

[PicassoCT]

they are not really responsible, they have nothing at stake than there careers (often not even thoose, the institutional matress taking over old presidents and vices, even thoose who did the worst decisions and admit it (fogofwar-mcnamera) are safe)
The problem is a dysfunctional public space (media turning propaganda for years, and nearly nil discussion in newspapers (i do not include some thinktank-papers and intellectual mags in that, some of them have there bright moments, when there castles in the sky-scrape on the mountain of problems) and - lets admit that, a bunch of stable, but failing at every higher function democratic systems. And i wont blame the US, the only good thing about Europe is that we arent tempted, therefore escape the absolut corruption that comes along with absolut power.

Im tired. Will develop better democratic system tomorrow, after the map & nap are done.

[Forboding Angel]

Yeah, nam, rac and ghan - you showed us how its done. Reallife can be so short if it comes in tinboxxes. Cant wait to see the day, the Quaida hacks your drones remote.

Oh for fucks sake... First of all, it was a joke you pretentious twat.
Secondly, the US has never surrendered to any other country. So if anyone has shown a sterling example of how proper surrender is done, it wouldn't be the US.
Thirdly, it was a joke, deal with it.

@smoth, my views are no more objectionable than yours or GOTA's or Bob's or...

********

Long story short, the entire thread is about a freaking retarded idea. Let it die.

My opinion is that the earth should be pushed towards the sun into a glorious explosion of fire and magma.

[Argh]

Meh. Tested 'screaming civilians you can squish' last night. It is fun, in a kinda 'yup, we're evil' sort of way.

See, now that WOULD be fun! Following Geneva Conventions, not so fun.

[PicassoCT]

Forb is evil, but i have to agree that following the genevaconvention is not fun. Make them squishy for me, too!

Also:

in the end I think all people just want food, shelter and some sort of future for their offspring.

After thinking it over, i still agree with food and shelter, but to have me agree on >> some future for there offspring<< you ve got to define future and offspring. I believe there are persons born not to have offspring, not be lucky, and just to be exploited by society to create a future for those with offspring, who in return produce "Unreproductive" black sheeps. If those seemingly useless (Nebenprodukt ger. untranslateable) persons get a nobelprize or a workless, worthless mentalcase medall doesent count.

Also, i assume that societys can form complexer over-societys based on the division of labour, some reproducing, some setting the dreamcatched third-world-offspring on fire (" ment to be -> a genious has to burn, to enlight a century"), sort of a combustion engine, running with people, giving not a dime on there personal, or natures interests. Foolfuel is burning engines!!!! Bridges dont know about MyShemes!

correct me if iam wrong, according to firefox, this is still the springboard, isn`t it? So a freaking retarded idea has every chance of turning epic golden bulletin the monthly topic revolver. Forb you have to many boards in TABs.

@smoth, my views are no more objectionable than yours or GOTA's or Bob's or...

There is a reason I do not often express my political views. Besides the fact that it is impolite conversation, it is often times going to end poorly. You have heard my views on teamspeak, not on the forums. If I have posted political views on the forum it is entirely uncommon. I do discuss personal philosophy but politics are something I dred discussing.

you should try avoiding the political threads... might be stress relieving for you.

[zwzsg]

Thirdly, it was a joke, deal with it.

I hope you get drafted and die by the hand of an iraki freedom fighter defending his family against you american capitalist pig. (I'm only kidding FA, don't get mad ;p )

Why, aren't you rofling already? You must have no sense of humor then. It was a joke, deal with it you pretentious twat.
