All cultures are not equal. Any culture that encourages people to strap bombs to themselves, and target civilians is the definition of inferior...



I thought you guys were arguing that a RELIGION encouraged that shit. Now it's a suddenly whole culture. In the end you're talking about people. You're saying people aren't equal. Equal! Such a silly word. To be used only in jokes and parties, never in amendments and the like.



Culture, religion...whatever. Getting strapped and taking out dance clubs and school buses is the way it is done for some people, as they taught through their religion and culture.

Any fuckhead that does that is not my equal.

Pariah is the resident expert and he disagrees. In fact, if you kill someone for the right reason (= what you think is the right reason), it's so good it's not even murder!

Look, you guys are blowing up babies in Iraq. No one disputes that. But it's for the right reason, so it's okay. Guess what, boys and girls: radical islamists (= all islamists = all arabs = nuke em all!)



We do our best not to "blow up babies" in Iraq. With our technology and tactics, we do everything possible to target terrorists and not civilians. Civilian deaths are unavoidable, and always will be.

Our opponents on the other hand, don't care who they kill, and go out of thier way to kill civilians.

ALSO think they're blowing up babies for the right reason! They bombed two towers to enforce what they believe in, well, you bombed two japanese cities for basically the same reason.



Not even close. The crazy as fuck terrorists attacked on 9-11 to start a war (again, attacking a civilian target). We bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end a war that the Japanese started. They were given many chances to surrender before and after the bombs were dropped, and they refused.

We rebuilt Japan after the war...I don't think the Islamic fundamentalists would be as kind to us if they had their way.

Everyone thinks they're right. Your crimes look as atrocious to them as theirs look to you. Granted, there's an obvious difference in scope that makes them the bigger nuts in the locker room (after all, I'm talking about radicals and not a whole culture even if you're not), but the fact that you're both blowing up babies when you could choose not to remains.

You're never gonna get along, first of all, because you both insist in judging a whole culture (do you even understand what "a whole culture" implies?) by their worst exponents, and secondly because you refuse to even consider viewing things from their perspective, which is how logic says problems should begin their solution. Not from the perspective of the terrorist (for fuck's sake), from the perspective of the guy in the street who leads a normal hard-working Allah-fearing life and is secretely glad them american infidels were given a taste of their own medicine, even though he generally doesn't say it out loud. It should be easy to get on his position, cause you feel exactly the same towards them. Both sides think they would live in peace if the other side ceased to exist, but you're both wrong.



I never judged the entire religion or culture. Peaceful Muslims do exist. Why they don't do something about the those who kill in Allah's name, I have no idea. There obviously are some aspects of the religion that cause and encourage the insanity of the attacks on 9-11, or the suicide attacks in Isreal, or the bloodshed in Iraq, or the violence against women in Afghanistan, or the human rights abuses in the Sudan, or the...
