Do I have to tell you STFU, n00b? Or should I just point at the first paragraph of your own advice... Ah, my own (Nobody) Special punching bag... much needed stress relief. BTW, good job today (post whore).

I have difficulties with the titular question. I find myself torn between "polite" and "honest." Regardless of language, I seem to choose "honest" and wind up putting my foot in it. (You may decide for yourself what "it" is in this context: my mouth, someone's posterior, or the dog crap on the ground.) Case 1: Yesterday, a friendly Arab co-worker stroll
And, I'll point out that grey finally agreed with me on this: the higher ranked one was the culprit. Fie on him. I'm certain he'll fall before I will.
Well said, Geez. When I regenerate another "Insightful" I'll try and remember to come back. Honestly, well said to Chip and Special over there, too. Just not as reserved or eloquent (one adjective each, gentlemen). Sandy - Yes, it's terrible that things are happening to prisoners that shouldn't. I think you feel that was the entirety of this article. Please keep in mind that the SSG above is correct, and that your title seems to be pin
I'm smelling "going back for the cash." Next thing you know, he'll re-release the original Clerks, except colorized (Turner style) and digitally remastered (with more lizards and robots). Some of you may want to take a "wait and see" approach; I'm recommending the "wait and don't see" version.
Suspekted - Yet, he's not claiming that, merely using that title to draw in readers. Hyperbole for the sake of sensationalism, for the sake of newspaper sales. If you wish to say that his actual message is obfuscated by his overstated title, fine, I can concede that point easily. His underlying message is not necessarily as sweeping as the title makes it seem.

Suspekted - "A great number of terrorist acts inflicted upon the US were perpetrated by Americans" does not disprove Sayed al-Rashed's claim. Additionally, "Americans kill more Americans than foreign terrorists ever could" only tangentially touches upon the question of "domestic" terrorism, as I have to assume you're lumping common crime into that equation. Forgive me for assuming you hadn't read the article, however. It was difficult for
Muggaz - I would argue that the want for independence was brought about by the want for an Islamic state... because the infidel can't be trusted with ruling the devout. The establishment of Sha'ria is something that was narrowly avoided in Iraq, and something that would have easily been utilized by the ruling party to oppress the other segments of the population. I realize that the counter-argument here would be that any system of law
Suspeckted - Did the reporter say that all terrorists have been muslims? As despicible as "link and discuss" articles are (saying this knowing it's my article here), don't you think you should read the "link" before you "discuss"? Here'
Muggaz - While you might think that grey has it out for Islam (and he does exhibit a certain amount of zeal for pointing out the rabid sects), he's not off base here. It's not that they are merely "freedom fighters" here. The government that they would establish is most probably and Islamic state. The reason they are fighting for their freedom is not oppression; there may exist said oppression, but I feel it is instead the establishment of the Islam
Well, I had something written out, and I foolishly cut-without-pasting-ed it... So, let me sum up. grey, I disagree that it was just one comment that condemned it. There is the obvious comment, sure, the one from the journalist, the editor of Al-Arabia. There's the slightly less direct comment from the other journalist, as well, the one about how the enemies of Islam could never portray them as horrible as they had just been. Is that not a
While all his old stuff is still down (I have the mental image of a soldier tearing down all the newspaper clippings he hung inside his tent in a fit of pique), CBFTW has a new article up, a reaction to an article in the LA Times which seems to have mentioned him. Nice to see him posting again, but such a shame that all those articles are no longer availabl
It's an unusually optimistic post from me, I assure you.
I'm fine with the electoral college, and remain unconvinced that changing the system will yield better results. I think it might be humorous to have a Republican Prez and a Democrat Vice. Unfortunately, there'd probably be less potential for hijinks as Bush would proceed to ignore Edwards...
Past, schmast... You don't think you could call the ones who drop planes out of the sky or who take hundreds of people hostage "wrong?"
I've hated reading some of greywar's articles for awhile now: the Religion of Peace series. It's because he's damned persuasive. It's a dark, dark world, and it's easy to think bad things about a lot of people. I'm the resident Arabologist (and part-time Arabiaphile) of our little group, so I don't like to think bad things about my subject matter, as it were...

As this topic (sort of) came up in conversation with a friend of my wife, I searched out this article. I was a bit befuddled at how the comments read until I realized that grey had removed some comments of an offending poster. I also notice the "I will address it in further posts" with dismay, as I don't think you have the inclination any more.
Some Iraqis had asked for this war. They had asked for this war back after we pushed the Iraqi army out of Kuwait. Do you feel Bush isn't focusing on training the Iraqi forces? Do you think he isn't pumping money into the infrastructure? Do you think he wants to keep us there forever?
We always hear the media talking about how many American soldiers have died and Iraq, but they never seem to care to tell us about how many innocent Iraqis have died. American soldiers aren't the only casualties of war. One last bit... which news media do you read? Most of the articles I've seen list
