If this country is so bad then MOVE THE FUCK OUT. BYE! yeah BU BYE! don't let the FLAG hit you on the way out!
Me the fool? I clearly stated "West vs. Islam", which is EXACTLY what you said! Read my post again! Never ever did I say the religion was called Muslim! I used the term "Islam"! I know a bit about the Islam realigion, so I may know more about it than you.Originally posted by Bastardy:
ok mr. 80s, you can just fuck right off, because I didn't say it was a "West vs. Muslim" war. First, because the religion is called Islam not Muslim you fool, .

You're nitpicking, and you know it. I know full well the religion is Islam, I simply mistyped in one post. I typed it correctly in the other post. I know a little bit about Islam (attended some classes and used to have quite involved conversations with a Muslim friend), maybe more than you.Originally posted by Bastardy:

How can you get mad at me for saying your post was stupid? Did you or did you not call someone on this board a "drunken bastard" ? And aren't you the one who deliberately started this thread to provoke people who think differently than you? How can you be upset by a little criticism of your ideas?

Bastardy,
You know what's very odd? As I lay down to sleep tonight, I felt convicted of how wrong I had been in my original response to your "Islam-West" war post. I knew I couldn't get any sleep feeling so guilty, so I came back to Interference to apologize. And then I read your last post to me, and it made me feel even worse. Although I don't agree with you, that gives me no right to be so arrogant. I apologize for attacking you so mercilessly calling you stupid. I have been evry upset this week, mainly brought on by a couple of Interferencers who take every opportunity they can to villify America. But still, that gave me no right to insult you. I am truly sorry, and hope you can forgive me. About the man from Boston, I read his account of the whole Bono incident, and it doesn't seem to me that he meant any harm. I don't know the guy personally, but it seems to me he just got caught up in the excitement of the moment. His actions may not have been the wisest, but I hardly think that jsutifies calling him a "bastard". But again, for my angry insults at you, I once again apologize.

I thought that America was shocked for the terroristic act. Being shocked and crying out "War! War! Lets bomb these bastards!"
is not exactly the same. Now, that you have seen a war-like horror in your own proud N.Y.C. - and I am so sorry for what has happened, my prayers go out to the innocent victims - I think you should consider not to continue this horror in another country.
I hope that people on this board don?t have to excuse all the time for their opinions.
Peace,

OK, for those who want to crucify me now:
go ahead! Peace to you too, brother.

OK, i'm a New Yorker, so the events of this past week have hit very close to home (literally). i don't know what is the right thing to do- i don't think anybody does. fortunately, the american government does not seem to be blindly bombing afghanistan back into the stone age (even though it's already just about there). if that was their goal, they probably would have done it by now.
the problem with this situation is that we are facing a new, very frightening sort of enemy. fewer than 20 people were able to kill over 5,000 innocent people in minutes, using only knives as their weapons. how do you fight this enemy? i don't think anyone really knows.
i hope that my country does not act rashly simply as a knee-jerk reaction to the atrocities of last week. but something does need to be done, to let these evil terrorists know that their actions have consequences.
unfortunately, when you're dealing with an enemy that is completely irrational, it is very difficult to believe that they will be defeated by using rational means....

I honestly don't believe that bombing the hell out of Afghanistan or even killing Osama bin Laden will protect us from any further attacks. I really don't. If we want to protect ourselves, we have to look at the root of the problem, and stop the perpetrators from the beginning. We need to infiltrate their lowest levels, not just take in their ringleader. This is much more complex than bombing anyone, and I hope we can realize that before its too late.
