Ron you are so busy demonizing these people you are frothing. Racism is like rabies there is a cure.
Americans kill more Americans every year than this whack job's rhetoric or actions ever will. The people of the Middle East including the Persians are where they are on the conveyor belt of civilization. If you have friends over there as you claim then you should be aware that at times through history they were so much more advanced than the civilizations of the West as to make our ancestors seem like mere barbarians. Would you prefer they join the 21st century or must they be returned to the dark ages or sent to the glow in the dark 'glass' age?
The reason is usually British Imperialism, Uhmerkin Capitalism, or in the middle east the Zionist Invasion. I wonder why they chant death to those nice folks who took their land, stole their resources, and killed their children?
Ironic; Israeli's hating Muslims and buying killer subs from Germans...
Report: Israel fitting nuclear missiles on German-built subs
(CBS News) Israel is arming submarines ordered from a German shipbuilder with nuclear weapons, the German newsmagazine Der Spiegel reported Monday.
According to the magazine's Spiegel's investigative report, submarines built by the shipyard HDW in the northern German city of Kiel are being outfitted by Israel with nuclear-tipped cruise missiles.
Three submarines have been delivered to Israel, with three more under contract for delivery by 2017, and the purchase of more being considered.
Despite official government statements in the past disavowing knowledge of Israel's deployment of nuclear weapons on the submarines, former high-ranking officials from Germany's Defense Ministry have told the magazine that they had always assumed Israel would outfit the submarines with nuclear defense capabilities.
Israel Deploys Nuclear Weapons on German-Built Submarines (Der Spiegel: English)
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak told Der Spiegel that Germans should be "proud" that through these defense measures they have helped ensure the preservation of the state of Israel "for many years."
Israeli does not comment officially on its nuclear military program.
The German government had helped underwrite the sale of the first three submarines delivered - subsidizing half the cost of one and the entire cost of two others.
Philo - the moral equivalency you make is sickening. Comparing the random acts of a few nut cases here to government sanctioned atrocities over there is quite a stretch. I'm surprised you didn't bring up the case of the sick fuçk's who chained the poor black guy to a truck and dragged him to death. After all, it seems to you that we're no better as a nation (they were later captured and sentenced to death BTW - knott cheered and celebrated as if they were in Iran torturing and killing teenaged gays).
It must really suck for you to be living in the USA. Makes me wonder why you're still here, in fact.
Watch the videos I linked above (especially the 2nd one) and get back to me...
^^^ Hardman, aw how cute, now who is projecting moral equivalence?
Exactly, thank you Survival. I am often misinterpreted by jumped to conclusions.
For example I for one do not think he is any kind of 'model' for tolerance.
I find his and all extremist's rhetoric repugnant.
The "moral equivalency" is of your making. I merely provide contrast to an otherwise black and white perspective. Shades of grey if you will on what even you have noted, that we who cast stones also have a ways to go before we should consider moving into a glass house..
In many ways these attitudes are no different than the "only good injun is a dead injun" mantra of the march of Manifest Destiny.
Read the Astronaut quote above. THAT is my point.
As well as that it is encouraging to see that he who must not be named isn't a mere evil machine but capable of human compassion at all. Even if it will get his peepee whacked when he gets home.
I have to tell you the reactions of some are 100% predictable. When I saw this news item it cracked me up. It helps show just how whackshit crazy "Fundies" are. But some would chose to think my posts are some kind of Hanoi Jane avowal.
Let us know!
