A simple question...

[xrayzebra]

You seem to be expressing a <blind> hatred for Muslims based on your faulty interpretation of their holy literature. So seem a bit cavalier in telling other faiths what they believe while becoming quite defensive when someone suggests a different interpretation of your faith.

So, who is the fool?

You are Scott. If you think they are such wonderful people, go there and
live with them. Then come back and tell us what a wonderful group of
people they are. Oh, and feel free to call me all those wonderful PC names.

They, the Muslims, are some of the most corrupt, biggotted people on
the face of the earth. You don't have any idea of what discrimination is
all about until you see how they practice it.

And like Mexico, you have all the civil rights in the world, so long as you
can stand the pain.

I love it when the latent bigotry flares up like so much herpes.

Well, if they're desperate, des ute and hopeless then I fully understand why they purposefully target innocent women and children. No doubt that this purposeful slaughtering of innocents is just what the Quran encourages as an antidote for their ills.
You've expressed a <blind> hatred for Israel and have stated that you couldn't care less if the Palestenians and Israelis wipe each out. Who's the fool here Manny?
With that mentality don't expect many to seriously entertain your thoughts regarding anything about the Middle East.
I know I take them with a grain of salt.

Joch, I'm fairly confident when I say I have no doubts I carry more credibility with the appropriate posters here than you do. Yonivore, Gtown, and Smeagol may find your thoughts intriguing, but I'm not sure how far beyond that sphere that sentiment travels.

But anyhow, I digress.

As for the initial point, I once agian point out that you have a failed understanding of basic human motivation.

Hey Joch, case in point.

My quote that you referred to was sarcasm scott, which you obviously didn't pick up on.
Who's da fool?

Wow. Just Wow! I guess that means you've won...and that would mean that I've lost. No need for me to stick around if that's the case.
Goodbye cruel world.


Seriously, it sounds like someone's in need of an ego boost here...do you suffer from low self-esteem? I don't post with the intention or expectation of currying the favor of other posters here. I don't get excited or disappointed by whatever reaction my thoughts should generate.
To thy own self be true and let the cards fall where they may.

Hey Joch, case in point.

Oh? Really?

I note that your self esteem and ego were boosted by scott's support for you (although scott misinterpreted my post). I'm genuinely happy for you Manny.

Then, I offer my sincere apologies - as we all know, it is hard to pick up on sarcasm sometimes!

That's why the blue text can be your friend.

Absolutely no need for an apology scott. Sarcasm isn't always readily discernible.

Blue text denotes sarcasm? Didn't know that but sarcasm loses some of it's luster if you have to broadcast it as such.

I've read lots of sarcasm here but haven't seen it blued.

It's actually an older reference arising, I think, out of a discussion in the Spurs forum. I agree with you that sarcasm is less effective if it has to be illustrated to be sarcasm.

In a written medium like this one, though, resorting to sarcasm always brings with it a terrific risk that your point will be lost in sarchasm.

Unless "jihad by the sword" translates to "fight for survival" then I'm not sure I agree with that as being the main justification for the committing of atrocities by terrorists. I think it's just their warped way of promoting and furthering their main agenda of attempting to convert the world to Islam.
So IMO, their battle is a plan to thrive and conquer rather than one of survival.

I believe the thrust of your post is the hope that we would not, deliberately or by policy, resort to or stoop to the conscience defying and unconscionable tactics used by the terrorists. I concur.

I think I agree with your take on Jihad......... Not all ppl that do these acts of terror are in the same position..... Certainly the fools in south Lebanon are not hurting...... They got there house, can come and go as they please..... Were is the desperation in the desperate acts???

The Palestinians on the other hand I think are in much more desperate straights personally…. There grandma getting pushed around @ the boarder cross points… Searched and handled… Houses getting bull dozed.. No freedom of movement, everywhere you turn constant symbols of oppression. Educated and yet no work, no infrastructure and businesses run on a primitive level……

I respond to this and I'm in need of a self esteem boost?



So be it. Anyone want to praise me?
