You have some nerve saying that, seeing as how you stubbornly said there's no way this is war, and then suddenly change your mind *Recalls a certain thread against a petition to send condolences that took 3 or 4 pages before you realized you were completely wrong*. And the fact that you actually admit that you're not all that knowledgable in politics only weakens your position in this entire thread.
You know, I half feel like going off on an extended rant on that, but it would just lead to another page of stubborn, narrow-minded posts from you before you finally say "oh, so that's what you were saying."
Sometimes it's better to keep uninformed opinions to yourself.
i see, just because i happened to have a different point of view i am stubborn and have no say. (i just hope you aren't using that "you're not an American, so you have no right to talk about it" discrimination against me)
*yawn* oh please...
as far as i know, we are all equal in posting and expressing our thoughts. everyone can post and, of course, change their opinions. if that is not accepted, we are facing discrimination.
and i see no point in bringing up topics that were cleared up already (the condolences issue).
what exactly is my position? i never said i was an expert on politics anyway...
also, i don't see how that post means i "have the nerve". it's true-you could have just said "yes" the first time i asked you. or you could have pointed out the big picture (US being attacked as a symbol).
about that "uninformed opinions". i know there are people that know more about politics than me. but that doesn't mean i shouldn't be able to express my opinion on a certain matter.
or (this is a U2 forum) there are definitely people who know more about U2 than me. they own more bootlegs, read the books, have been fans longer, have seen more shows etc...why should that keep me from posting?
and to quote John Steinbeck (i think it was him): "Not changing your opinion is not a sign of intelligence".
we all live and learn.
