This thread - resurrected just like Jesus! (not the T5 dude) :ph34r:

Where are the high-profile calls for peace and tolerance? The extremist element gets all the publicity, and the people calling for calm are never heard from... I think Islam needs some decent PR officers ;)

Starfish should go hunting with Dicky Chaney! :ph34r:

Nah, he should be allowed to carry on hunting, provided Dubya goes with him and wears bright orange :>

I love the irony, though, of a bunch of people objecting to being depicted as violent, bomb-throwing fanatics being violent, bomb-throwing fanatics :ph34r:

Does "Freedom of Speech" include the right to say things that are harmful or hurtful to others? If so, why are there so many libel/defamation suits in the USA? What if you shout FIRE in a crowded theatre and people are killed in the ensuing stampede? With freedom comes responsibility...

Advocating police brutality over your own much vaunted justice system shows your true colors. Thanks And yeah, in general, african leadership sucks. But we're not the ones whining because a bunch of people want to see us dead. Maybe you should come and nuke us because certain elements of society hold some monkeyed up beliefs...

Ever stop to wonder WHY so much of the world hates america? Now I know this is going to be viewed as an attack on the USA, but it's not. I am just emphasising the perceived negatives to make a point. I am not anti america... Right - US foreign policy - you stick your noses in where they're not welcome - eg Israel. The Muslims have as much of a religious claim on Jerusalem as the Jews and Christians do, yet you support a regime that seeks to keep Jerusalem for themselves. Never mind the similarities between Israel in the West Bank and China in Tiananmen Square (Using military force to squash protest)... Hypocrisy - your government was instrumental in trying to cripple MY country via economic sanctions. I KNOW apartheid was wrong, but we were getting bitchslapped by a country with a brutal history of slavery, CURRENT race problems (Rodney King riots anyone?), not to mention the forced relocation of Native American Indians into "reservations" (How is that different to Apartheid's bantustans?) More hypocrisy - On the plaque on the Statue of Liberty is engraved "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Reconcile that with your border policy with Mexico, and your problems with "Illegal Immigrants". Selfishness - Refusal to sign the Kyoto treaty on greenhouse gases - The crap your gas guzzling monster trucks spew out affects the globe. So yeah. I am wearing my flame proof suit. I am NOT ATTACKING AMERICA! I am playing Devil's Advocate here, hoping to give you an ...insight into why some people in the world DON'T believe that the USA is the greatest nation on earth And no, I'm not anti Israel either. I just have the ability to see both sides...

So maybe the fundamentalists were trying to cause an outbreak of peace with 9/11?

No, he said he never used it :ph34r:

Guess what? The 9/11 tragedy isn't a global worry. The world doesn't end at the USA's borders.

OMG WTF LOL Dubya invaded the wrong country? :rolleyes:

I know. It was satire. Look it up :lol:

but from a PR point of view, he's a disaster. As an outsider whose opinion on a country is greatly affected by the actions and utterances of its leaders, I almost feel that america is a bunch of illiterate bumbling idiots who totally "misoverestimate" their leader. Never mind the florida votes fiasco... No I have nothing against americans... but this is the impression your president gives to foreigners *dons ceramic flameproof suit* Oh and yes, I know thabo mbeki is a prat. KTHX.

Do I count? :monkey:
