i didn't understand but yeah i will drink and i will eat pork eventually lol i can finally have wine and have pepironi pizza and marshmallows a=i can listen to music and watch TV and play video games i can have girl friends ... so yeah i am getting a few luxuries

First of all, your English is better than some people who have spoken it their entire lives. So no need to apologize.

Second, it is amazing to see someone new to atheism and just breaking out of their old mindset who is so excited to be starting out on a new path. You have realized that your life can be so much more than it was under that oppressive regime and you are more than ready to get out there and just experience life. I say go for it. Have as much pizza as you want, watch tv shows you've never seen, listen to music, drink alcohol, have a girlfriend, hell have a boyfriend if you'd like, now that you won't get murdered for it. Just get out there and enjoy life.

Also if you do decide to start a youtube channel, do please share it with us. I, for one, would be fascinated to see that. You seem quite articulate and ready to try life on for size. I think it would be a fantastic thing to see and learn about a person going through your transition so early in the game.

That comedian was hilarious, jonb, fucking fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Love that accent he has as well.

haha thank you and yeah i will start one but when i get the time to do so lol and haha yup i will lol too be honest for some reason i have always been attracted to Asian women .... back in Iraq that was a fantasy but know i could actually go out their and actually have an Asian girlfriend if i wanted to so yeah i am going to live life rather than waste it and devote it to someone that doesn't even exist.... and even if he did exist what kind of god would do such things to his creations lol so here is to a new life

well about the war..... it is true allot of the soldures are just horrible people women got raped and all sorts of horrible things... most of the people that were labeled as terrorists were just normal people like you and me who didn't want to leave their home and got shot for that like in fallujah. Also religious freedom went away before the war believe it or not our neighbors were Christians and allot of Sunnis and Shi'ites lived together and even in our government we had Sunni Muslims Shi'ite Muslims and Christians.... the most famous being Tariq Aziz. but know every thing changed we are all discriminated against and you get killed depending on what type of Muslim you are... our new "free" government to me is nothing more than a slave to Iran. now i don't really see a united future for the country and about our side actually Iraq defeating saddam was the easy part really most of the time you spent fighting insurgents and most of those insurgents are not even Iraqi! most alqaida fighters are usually from outside the country and most suicide bombers are from Saudi Arabia even though western Iraq in cities such as fallujah. but for the Shi'ites on the other case most fighters were Iraqi. both sides ruined us.
and on the other story when i was a child i always was thinking about religion and at one point i hate full hate towards Jews. things changed and i started looking into things when i came to the USA i looked into Buddhism, Christianity and all the major religions except Hinduism. after that i saw many flaws in the quran and started to realize that the quran the hadiths and the prophet were not the things i thought they were. i would say more but i think you get the point lol... maby sometime ill open up a YouTube channel telling people my story

Thank you, your English was fine.
I figured as much. Seems like it was just another war tailor made to profit the US after all.
Like I've said before; Saddam needed to be taken down but not with the methods used and not for the reasons he was.
Saddam should of been taken down for what he was doing to his own people. Not for the oil in his possession.
As for the methods... well you already know about them, I'm sorry.

If you don't consider it too personal could you tell us your experience of the US? Don't worry, you don't need to be flattering. Theres no rednecks here as far as I know, plus I've never even been the US.

yeah you are correct they didn't use good tactics to take him down but at least during Saddam we could openly say that you are christian, Sunni or Shi'ite and have those kind of freedoms and we had electricity and etc....
but i still have much respect for the soldures they were fighting for their country and didn't know much
