Have you ever heard about the concept of "arrogance" and "fanaticism"? That's what you are made of, as it seems from your posts in this particular thread. In the others you make sense, but here you seem to come from a country far more totalitarian than mine, as you justify murder of innocent people by soldiers, and I don't.
Calling a "naive child" everybody who doesn't agree with you is a clear sign of arrogance and fanaticism (which is the same as "patriotism").
Anyway, I would prefer to be a naive child than somebody who justifies murder for the good of the country.

Everybody can vomit arrogance and insults, what about EXPLAINING your point of view?

That you think I'm a fanatic tells me everything I need to know about you. Only someone from your part of the world would think that. Because here in the civilized world I'm considered pretty liberal about most things.

And I don't justify murder for the good of the country. But I do advocate killing to protect it. There's a big difference.

Civilized world? Oh, well... lol I at least don't use stereotypes to judge whole countries. By the way, what "part of the world" are you referring to: Italy or Russia?
By the way, you still haven't told me what was wrong about what Snowden and Manning did.
And what do you think about what those guys did to the Bolivian president who was suspected to have Snowden on board? Decades ago doing such a thing to a foreign president would be equal to declaring war.

Well, if you must know, I meant Russia. I'm Italian American myself. I've been there over a dozen times and own property in Lauropoli, Cosenza. But that's neither here nor there.

Snowden and Manning both put their nation's security at risk, and they should be punished for it. But we're never going to see eye to eye on this, so I'll agree to disagree with you.

I agree with this. But anyway, I don't think it's correct on your part to judge Russia so harshly just because some bloodthirsty corrupt animals are in charge. Most people of any country are decent (at least I think so), it's not their fault the worst scumbags are always in charge.
By the way, Russia isn't like the USSR now anymore. Now it's more like the USA in the XIX century.

I understand that. Thank God for progress.

You have to understand, I'm 54 years old. I grew up at the height of the Cold War, so it pleases me a great deal that a lot of the old communist regimes have fallen or have been weakened in that part of the world.

And by the way, by communism I don't mean the concept of communism itself. I mean the totalitarian attitude that the guy who ends up in charge usually ends up with.

Seems like you have got it down to a mathematical precision what is right and what is wrong. So let me ask you this, when when an enemy is willing to run a couple of commercial airliners into a building and kill thousands of innocent people because the people in the country dont believe in Allah, are they worse than the country who has a soldier who kills one innocent child? Or are they equally bad?

Its good that you think that killing children is bad, so do i. It just so happens that the people we are fighting against happen to use children as shields and then point the finger at us. But you got it down to a science what is good and what is bad. You should be running a country. Its just so simple aint it.

Your such a "deep" thinker. Your like every philosophy major that I met in college. Everybody is else is closed minded but you right?
LOL.

Well, I am really sorry if you think I believe I am ALWAYS right. I never had such an opinion about myself.
But, as for comparing those terrorists to soldiers who kill one innocent, then yes, I think they are equally bad, because I think a soldier capable of such a thing would be also capable to imitate those terrorists if HIS government ordered it.

Also, wasn't Bin Laden initially a friend of the USA? I mean, they almost "created" him and now seem to have forgotten about it.

But anyway, I don't want to argue about politics etc. I just didn't initially get it why so much hostility towards Snowden and Manning. If somebody did the same thing to Putin, I would only be happy.

Your right that the CIA did help to tain, finance, and arm the mujaihadeen in afghanistan, but that was for the greater good to fight the communist but the US didnt create bin laden he was very rich being what family he comes from and he was already a big figure in the jihadist movement when we got there. And regarding your comments about manning and snowden, if they had just done something to embaress obama no one would give a shit, but they disclosed state secrets that put lives in danger and in my opinion they should both be executed or at least lofe in prison.

Oh Gosh. YOu gotta be kidding me. One of you guys. Dwalin, I call guys like you Captain Hindsights. You got all the answers in hindsight. The king of telling us what caused the problem to begin with. But when it comes to a solution? Nah, not much to say that could be viably employed. Just stupid comments acting like you have some grasp of history.

Well, if having the last word in makes you feel like "the winner", suit yourself. I have regretted of having posted in this thread even before the first replies were posted, because I should have known some users like you only want to argue for the sake of it.
I don't like killing of innocents, for whatever reason, so what?

But what do you think about the things made public by Snowden, is it right to spy on everybody, in every moment of your life? What's the difference between this and the USSR?

I don't get it. Is he stating that all sides are now equally bad, all religions equally violent, war equally wrong in all situations, that there is never a valid cause of war?

Because that really is the kind of retarded utopian thinking that behind exacerbating conflict in the first place.


Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison.
I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate...

Moorer was a solid heavyweight. But the holyfield he beat was having heart problems that night. But Moorer was good. The second time he fought holy he got ko'd in 8.

As far as the hindsight thing, I know too many people who like to talk about what happened in the 80's with Bin Laden as if we were responsible for the towers coming down. It couldent just be that the guy was a rich fanatic who wants to kill non believers and supporters of the Jewish state?

He was one of the greatest Light Heavyweights imo. He was still one of the top Heavyweights of his era, no doubt he was no match for Holyfield though. God knows how i've turned this into a boxing thread lol . No more derailing from me.

I hope ur not talking about me vinny because i specifically said that we didnt create bin laden. I totally agree with u about hindsight. Those commi bastards were are biggest threat diring that time(and for good reason), and the jihadist were the best tool availible to push them outta the country. Lol at the southpark episode.

I don't like communists, but I don't see what's to be so proud of if you use one evil to push the other evil away. I really don't want to take political sides (I hate politics), but even during the cold war, do you really think the USA were so innocent and angelic in the methods they used? I don't mean to force my opinion on anybody, but to me both sides in the cold war were like beasts biting at each others' throats. What's the point of idealizing one of them? Yeah, sure, the USA politicians were selfless saints who wanted only the greater good for everybody.

Well, I don't deny it.

But still, somebody among the users from the USA, tell me, what do you think about those "spying on everybody" thing made public by Snowden?

I honestly could care less about them spying on us. It really wasnt that big of a surprise to me. It would really take a naive person to think the govt wasnt actively monitoring such things. And honestly if it can help uncover potential terrorist plots im all for it, its raw data and intelligence collecting such as the nsa was doing that can really make a difference in the war on terror. As pizzaboy said freedom isnt free.

It was sanctioned but not formalized elsewhere in the ancient world.

Instead of the tired olf "libs do this and that" why dont you ppeople turn off Fox and do some reading?


In ancient Rome the marriage between two males was never legally allowed, only in odd obscure cases like what Nero did, but he was an emperor and was above the law. I guess there were some people who lived in same sex unions but it was never formally a marriage. Theodosian's Codex was against it, but it was never allowed in the first place. The Roman Empire was a patriarchal society and a gay male Roman citizen would lose all respect. Same sex marriages were never legally allowed in Greece either. Homosexuality of course did exist in both cases, but it was never fully socially acceptable, at least not in the form of marriages. I mean, those two societies more or less had similar views on homosexuality as Tony Soprano lol, at least the Romans. I'm not really familiar about other examples you mentioned, so I won't comment.

It's fascinating how this LGBT rights thing has in the period of the last few decades become so important in political discussions. Before it was never even mentioned in any political context but now it has become some sort of obsession for some people on the left, 'liberals' whatever (and as a reaction it has consequently also become an obsession for the right wing). The important thing to understand is that 'gay community' as imagined by the LBGT propagandists has never existed in history. You had some people practicing homosexuality here and there but they never were part of any clearly defined community asking for their 'rights'. So why the hell would anyone give "them" a right to marry between each other? Same-sex marriage as something legally accepted and formally equal as a marriage between a man and a woman exists today in some countries because the LGBT rights movements has promoted it and provided an ideological background which makes such marriage acceptable for people who adhere to that ideology/'liberal' values (a large part of society in those countries). It can't be compared to anything in history really.

Needless to say, there have been a lot of attempts of historical revisionism on this issue, to suit the current social-ideological trends and somehow legitimize them (even though LGBT rights activists present themselves as progressive, they still look for some affirmation for their ideology in Western history, particularly in the pre-Christian era). There is also a trend to declare certain historical persons as homosexual even though there isn't much proof. Frederick II comes to my mind.

Here's my opinion on this issue regarding PB and Dwalin's argument. You appreciate and honor the troops that fight and die to protect your country. I love sixties music, and I agree with much of that culture except one thing: the fact that Vietnam vets TO THIS DAY don't get the respect they deserve and back then it was worse. I respect every branch of the military that defends the United States.

That being said when a soldier goes on a psychotic rampage and commits atrocities you try them and prosecute them just like any other war criminal. But no one sit here and say the military and organizations like the FBI and the CIA deserve to be shit on. They keep us safe, plain and simple. I think there's a line, and the NSA may have crossed it, but Snowden and Manning should be locked up and have the key thrown away. They revealed things that should not have been revealed. In the end, I hate Obama, I hate left pinkos, I hate right wing nut jobs, I dislike our current partisan attitude in Congress and the fact that all these fucking politicians are in it for themselves. But keep in mind that there are people in this world that want all of us dead with the power to do so. I won't shit on our military and secret organizations who do their job in protecting us from these enemies

The Roman Empire was a patriarchal society and a gay male Roman citizen would lose all respect. Same sex marriages were never legally allowed in Greece either. Homosexuality of course did exist in both cases, but it was never fully socially acceptable, at least not in the form of marriages. I mean, those two societies more or less had similar views on homosexuality as Tony Soprano lol, at least the Romans. I'm not really familiar about other examples you mentioned, so I won't comment.

It's fascinating how this LGBT rights thing has in the period of the last few decades become so important in political discussions. Before it was never even mentioned in any political context but now it has become some sort of obsession for some people on the left, 'liberals' whatever (and as a reaction it has consequently also become an obsession for the right wing). The important thing to understand is that 'gay community' as imagined by the LBGT propagandists has never existed in history. You had some people practicing homosexuality here and there but they never were part of any clearly defined community asking for their 'rights'. So why the hell would anyone give "them" a right to marry between each other? Same-sex marriage as something legally accepted and formally equal as a marriage between a man and a woman exists today in some countries because the LGBT rights movements has promoted it and provided an ideological background which makes such marriage acceptable for people who adhere to that ideology/'liberal' values (a large part of society in those countries). It can't be compared to anything in history really.

Well said. And you made a point that I've touched on before, i.e. how in recent times it's become standard for this group or that group to claim certain "rights." They want these so-called "rights" and if you disagree with them you are denying them these "rights." Which automatically makes you the bad guy.

you keep good company, Ivy.

Quote:
Deputy General Director of the Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, Dmitri Kisilev recently dehumanized gays on a popular, government-run television program broadcast by the state-owned network Rossiya 1.

His translated comments state, "I think that just imposing fines on gays for homosexual propaganda among teenagers is not enough. They should be banned from donating blood, sperm. And their hearts, in case of the automobile accident, should be buried in the ground or burned as unsuitable for the continuation of life."

The audience applauded after Kisilev's comments.

It's what libs like ronnierocket (and certain others posters on this forum) do. They feel if they can paint you as a hate-monger, they've won the argument. Never mind whether it's true or not. It's the typical laziness and dishonesty of the left and their agenda. It's what Prop 8 in California was relabeled as "Prop Hate" or "Prop H8" by the same kind of people.

This is the article Ronnie read -

Deputy General Director of the Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, Ivy League recently dehumanized gays on a popular, government-run television program broadcast by the state-owned network Rossiya 1.

His translated comments state, "I think that just imposing fines on gays for homosexual propaganda among teenagers is not enough. They should be banned from donating blood, sperm. And their hearts, in case of the automobile accident, should be buried in the ground or burned as unsuitable for the continuation of life."

The audience applauded after League's comments

Yeah seriously Ronnie. What the Russians are doing is fucked up, but the fact that you're trying to lump ivy in the same category as them is low. Get a life dude

The two most overused words in the liberal encyclopedia are "hate" and "homophobic."

Now that's not to say that there aren't some hateful homophobes out there, because there certainly are. But not everyone who opposes gay marriage is guilty of those labels. Especially if you oppose gay marriage for truly religious reasons.

It's funny how the Left screams about religious freedoms and tolerance where radical Islam is concerned, but if you oppose gay marriage because you're a God fearing Christian or an observant Orthodox Jew they don't want to hear about it.

And this is one of the many reasons why I loathe both extremes, and I'll NEVER, EVER vote for a party again.

both very strong choices, but they are still runner-ups to "racist", the de facto way out of debates for liberals who are either too lazy, stupid or ignorant(often a combination of all 3) to actually explain their position.
