I Keep Wondering

Are you still here, fuckface? Why haven't you headed over to give your friendly iraqi pals a helping hand?

Or are you simply full of shit, as always?

Oh, mad because yet again you are shown to not know what the fuck you're talking about?



The day you're correct on something or actually informed on a matter, is the day pigs fly.

It's people like you why Americans don't like to mention they're American.

With all due respect (i.e. none), the only times I'm even reluctant at all to mention being American is when I'm in a situation that might lead people to associate me with people like you, Polaris.

[Polaris]

A forum where the majority of atheists in the world and even America don't agree with the vast majority of the forum goers' posts. To call this group the people is a farce unless you want to say the WBC now represents Christians as a whole...getting harder and harder to distinguish outspoken atheists in American from those loonies. But even then, the popular consensus for this site does not agree with Min's conservative political views...they only like him because he is quick to attack religion. He has no other use.

Again, wrong. The political views of atheists span the spectrum. But hey, it gives you license, you think, for the cheap shot.

We all know you have no problem whatsoever calling yourself an American. It'd be easier to convince people like Boehner to not call themselves American than to do the same with you.

The fact is, I am an American. I'm truthful about that, as well everything else, and don't give two shits rubbed together about the opinions of anyone about it ... yours included. If you or anyone else wish to lump me in with someone else based on a common birthplace, well, that's your slipshod logic leading you to your incorrect conclusion.

And that's your problem, not mine.

I was referring to the academic backgrounds, not the politics.

You got lumped as an American because of your past posts where you acted as a stereotypical American, which is somewhat unfair to Americans as a whole since you have a Texan stereotype and not necessarily a comprehensive American attitude.

No one would ever associate people like you with me...don't worry. I work hard to so people never mistake me for someone of your particular class.

If you see me as a stereotype, that's your loss, not mine; I've lived forty-seven years without worrying myself about your opinion, and I'm not about to start now.

Your filters are your own. Own them.

My filters are the same of many who have had to deal with Americans....I'll be quite honest with you...most of the less favorable Americans I have met have actually come from New England than from the South and yes, they have their own stereotype in America that you don't seen expressed outside of America as much.

Stephen Colbert blasts FOX idiots, McCain, Cheney, Bush and the Wall Street Journal.....all the normal suspects of warmongering.

Again, I hope our European cousins can watch this.

how many times we will fall for the same line of bullshit?

WASHINGTON – The Islamic State presents the greatest terrorist threat to Americans since 9/11, and fighting it will take more than airstrikes in Iraq, according to a top member of Congress and a retired four-star general.

And I keep coming up with the same answer. Every time.

“When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty and there is nothing to fear from them then he is always stirring up some war or other in order that the people may require a leader.”

― Plato

It's an old formula.

My impression is that Obama is engaging in this new war grudgingly.

Americans Who Have Not Read a Single Article About Syria Strongly Support Bombing It

According to the poll, released on Tuesday, the bombing campaign got a thumbs-up from people who had no information about Syria’s civil war, including its duration, the parties involved, and what a Sunni is.

Additionally, the air strikes garnered enthusiastic support from people who could not correctly identify the President of Syria, tell what the acronym ISIS stands for, or locate Syria on a map.

Reminds me of that poll that demonstrated that Fox News viewers are more misinformed than people who watch no news at all.

The difference is that Borowitz is a satirist... FOX thinks it is real.
