If we sent Dustin Hoffman to the ME all our troubles would end and we'd be swimming in sunshine and marshmallows.
No actually I don't but heres the difference between me and you. I'm reserving judgment. You see I'm actually thoughtful unlike you and don't jump the gun based on bias reporting for either side. Unfortunately however according to your flawless logic you must form an Opinion and choose a side on a whim.
Biased reporting, of course, even though the opinion i just posted is from Shlomo Ben-Ami, and the other reports i've read from are from Human rights groups and independent media. But of course, unlike you, i realize that everyone has a bias, and that the only way to be free of it is to acknowledge it and not presume oneself unbiased. Of course, i don't see how anyone can be thoughtful when their golden contribution is: ALL SIDES ARE TO BLAME LOL. Even though said person has not said what sides exist or how they are to blame, but somehow assumes we telepathically know what he intends.
Thoughtful indeed. Did you know that people die when they are killed, Rhinox? You know, you're not as intelligent as you were in the cartoons, but you were also a robot back then.
What's that old saying, "If it's worth doing, it's worth over-doing?". Not that I agree with it, but that was just the first thing that came to my mind.
By the way, i'll let you in on a little secret; no one actually "reserves judgement", because what you call reserving judgement is just you not saying it out loud, but what you're thinking is a different thing all together.
Oh you~
I'll explain it so maybe you can understand my position instead of taking snippets of words I said and twisting them around to try and prove your point.
I(Rhinox) think that boths sides have done incredibly stupid shit over the last 60 years. I believe its best to reserve judgment on both sides of this conflict until you have more info then what yahoo news is telling you ok?
oh and ouch kuya that hurt. I'm serious I think it actually stung making fun of my name. who's being juvenile now?
I really don't see why we couldn't have just double deal our way out of WWII and become filthy rich and easily be a dominant superpower aftermath.
Sure the europeans will hate the US for it, and US will be perceived as evil by the bulk of the countries in the world.
But isn't that exactly the case now? Except for the part we owes the chinese enough for 2 session of blowjobs for each their citizens.
Care to tell us who both sides are, and what these sides have done for the last 60 years? You seem to be insisting that i read your mind, when i already tried that by telling you that reserving judgement does not necessarily mean you haven't personally passed judgement and are simply not being vocal about it, and if i were to assume that i was wrong, then it seems i'm not very good at this mind reading thing and i'm going to need you to actually explain what you say.
And as for the last bit, i guess referencing Beast Wars was pretty childish of me, like berating the mentally handicap by calling someone retarded. I wonder when we started assuming that kids are naturally vindictive.
all I can think of after reading all these post is
YouTube - Rammstein-Amerika
Well, we fucked with Japan, a country who was in a very military oriented mindset and expected them to do nothing because we were America.
Our fault? Yes.
In today's world, would a conflict spread to the US? Well, considering the oceans are to this day, an extremely useful barrier against attacks and our borders are protected by shitty terrain to the north and to the south extremely open and manageable terrain, I'd say that we're pretty safe here. (This statement also takes into account our current standing army actually being in the states...)
However, all of our imperialistic outposts around the world are extremely vulnerable.
I'd list every single terrorist attack(on both sides) and every incident within the last 60 years but I won't for 2 reasons. 1. I'm really lazy 2. it wouldn't prove anything to you because you already formed your opinion and nothing I type or copypasta will change that.
It's funny how you are really. I remember back in the Religion threads you were giving shit to agnostics because its not possible to not choose one side or the other you have to choose now.
And as for the last bit, You know Moron and Imbecile are categories of retardation right? so you have no qualms about that but you get offended by retarded?
Say we don't step in during WW2. Europe 100% falls to Germany completely. Russia almost fell despite the US making pushes on the Western Front. It wasn't til very late in the war that it turned around. Without us entering, Europe falls and Russia falls soon after. Africa and the Middle East would no doubtably follow. I don't think it's too much of a stretch to see that happening. Then what stops Japan and a Nazi-united Europe from attacking North America? You think they'd just let us be?
I think our involvement in WW2 was coming regardless as a preemptive strike to stop Hitler before he became too strong to control, the Japanese attack on PH just lit the fire for public support.
Probably, I guess if you want to conclude that WW1 helped with Hitler and his rise to power, which is a fair statement. Still though, if we hadn't interfered... Once Germany took control of Europe and Russia (which he was close to doing even after we decided to join the war) he would have undoubtedly turned his attention to us. So.. joining the war was protecting our interests, too.
The German economy was destroyed and Hitler - despite being Hitler - revived it.
Here's an article by Larry Johnson, who worked previously with the CIA and U.S. State Department’s Office of Counter Terrorism, on Israel's tactics:
Why the Israeli Military Response in Gaza is Bullshit [Updated] : NO QUARTER
I was gonna go full pro on this, with more articles, pics, a poem but then i read this
and I couldn't agree more. Palestine/Israel will remain the way it is until well..one book told the story of Palestine and Israel and it concludes it. We'll just have to wait and see.Originally Posted by Rhinox
