Iraqnam: a curse upon us

LAST EDITED ON Nov-17-04 AT 07:11 PM (EST)

Now our (British) soldiers are getting killed as well as the Americans.When will it end: you flush out a town or city of "insurgents" and they reappear somewhere else; meanwhile, people, and property continue to be targets of mindless bombing.In the middle east and other Islamic countries, your boy can get a free education: you'll be taught by mullahs, many of whom are dedicated to a hatred of Western society, who'll teach your boy to read and write, and who will teach your boy to hate the Americans.First the Nazis, then the commies, and now the muzzis. I just don't know where it will all end with Iraqnam.Mike

Mike, Grow Up.I personally take offense at your "Muzzis" comment. I have many friends of the muslim religion that are people just like you and me, they are not violent and they do not hate the western world. They are people who are just trying to make a living. Do not let the small percentage of violent people make you think that all of them are bad. The Media tends to blow many things out of proportion, only reporting the bad events and never the good.If you want to know why many of the people in the middle east hate the western world, all you need to is read your post.The whole western world in general (especially the United States) is populated by self-centered people who don't give a damn about anyone but themselves. "There was a bombing of an oil pipeline in Iraq.. Oh No! MY Gas will be expensive now!!" And you wonder why they don't like us???!? To borrow something from a friend's AOL profile.."shortsightedness; n. A condition exhibited in roughly half of Americans that causes one to have a narrow, localized world view limited by personal experience and often compounded by acutely intolerant religious beliefs. Individuals exhibiting this condition only understand the importance of reaction chains that remain within their local world view. Due to this, these individuals percieve long or far reaching reaction chains (ie. impacts on environment and foreign relations) insignificant or otherwise unimportant regardless of its effects on other individuals not within their world view. As with the eye disorder, these individuals have little foresight, exhibiting difficulty in perceiving distant problems until it has entered their world view, by which time the problem is too large to solve. "On a personal note, I would like to know what you interest with this site is Mike. I seldom see you post anything about trains or wander outside the Off-Topic or General Forums these days. I am not complaining or trying to get rid of you, I am just curious as to your actual interests. Planes or Trains or ???.

>All I hope is that there is no Draft!! Hey Raildog, if there is do you want to go to Canada with me? Although with no hockey (NHL) it's going to get pretty boring (and cold) up there

Hi Jake,It appears you have misunderstood my term "muzzis" and for that I apologise; it was in fact, intended to cover a specific grouping; namely, the fundamentalist, terrorists, etc and not as you state muslims.I'm afraid I have to severely disagree on your last point: that of not contributing in the other train-related forums. If you care to take the trouble to do a search on my name you will--to your shame--see that I have made over a dozen contributions (including illustrated mini tutorials) in the last week or so.I'm sorry that you did not take the tenor of my statement/remarks in the spirit they were intended, but it would be a nice gesture on your part if at least you amend your last comments, as they are simply untrue.

Fair Enough Mike, I retract my statement about your other forum activities.But my point about the "muzzis" as you call them stands. That is a bad name for a sensitive issue.

"I would like to know what you interest with this site is Mike. I seldom see you post anything about trains..."Trust me, Mike has plenty of interest in trains. Do a search of other forums. In case you hadn't noticed, this is an off-topic forum.PaulS

He is one of the most caring, generous people I know.He has been a big help to me, and two or three other forum members in real life.-Jeff

I am not attacking or talking about Mike, I am talking about the western world in General.I know I wrongfully said that Mike didn't contribute here, and I apoligize to Mike for that, but as I stated I am talking about the western world in general.
