Do you really think that's beyond the crazy mind of a islamic terrorist? I wouldn't say they are crazy. Misguided arseholes yes, crazy no.
Toblerone
I also suggest the banning of pickles on quarter pounders which is clearly unpatriotic and a comfort for terrorists.
Because freedom is so abundant in the Middle East, right? Terrorists want nothing less than a world wide islamic state. That is just the sort of non-sequiter I was refering to when I said "it is sort of like saying poachers shoot elephants because they are grey rather becuase they want their Ivory." w
Try this on for size! Umm, I mean immediately before the last war not in 1996. Nice to see something approaching a direct rebuttal though, good work drmiler.
If you are trying to generalize it to the whole War on Terror, I still disagree, because the specific allegations of the employment of these tactics (lying, deception, fearmongering, etc.) I was thinking more specifically about the Iraq war. However I can think of instances where he used the techniqu
I haven't been dishing out anythig Toblerone...i apologize if i have, i never realized it, if you would show me where, we could discuss it... --and whoever said: Dr. Bailey are you Bakerstreet under another pen name? If not would you let him argue for himself because that comment wasn't even directed at you
Then what is the end result to likening Bush to Nazis rhetorically? What judgement are we supposed to base on that, if not to associate Bush with Nazism? First things first AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!! Now that I've got that out of the way. No, it was just meant to be a discussion about ho
D: Wasn't trying to sidetrack you at all, rather get back to your original topic. Well my original topic was about whether Bush's rhetoric was similar to the ones used in Goering quote. <
What about a set of circumstances wherein the people actually are attacked? And what if some individuals by their actions actually do expose them to danger, is it still "Nazi propaganda tactics" for the government to let the people know? Well if they are actually are attacked, and they have proof of w
i agree Texas. Good article.
I think youare right but I think it is more accurate to say success is equal to Talent times Effort times Luck. Obviously if you work very hard and you are crap at what you do you won't get any where. If you are very talented but don't do any work or have any luck you won't get anywhere. If you are very lucky but have no talent or put no effort into what you want to achieve you won't get anywhere either. You can imagine a variety of different combinat
No, I am accusing you of trying to twist public opinion by using fearmongering, inflammatory language and associating Bush's name with Nazism. The inflammatory language I have already fully admitted to. Fearmongering? Well now who's being inflammatory, I must have missed the part where I said "Run for the h
Damn it! My line would have got him laid for sure....or at least horribly beaten, which is a turn-on for some....
Hardly. There's crap like this all over the Internet, and it isn't accidental. You know the reference will stick with people who'll swallow it and never question it's validity. People aren't going to think "rhetorically". Well believe what you like Baker, it's what you are going to d
Toblerone, you did not answer my question. Why do you think that Goering's philosophy of leadership is correct? Not to be pedantic, but I never said anything about philosphy of leadership, I'm just talking about rhetorical techniques <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="
Man that sucks Fazz, but that's life. Just remember a man who comes second makes the ladies happy . I suggest you put that in your speech....
I don't know what to say Brandie. Don't be down on yourself, whatever he's done or whatever you've done just remember: love is the opposite of apathy and it sounds like you both still care.
My Mum and Dad. I thinnk the difference is riding out the shit together and being philosophical about it. It is way more complicated than that though, my Mum was married twice before spo maybe a certain level of maturity is needed too.
To me it is obvious that he is saying Hitler and the German government just did what everyone else does to start a war. He makes a big deal about propaganda and misinformation when it is really the fact that people would be KILLED for opposing them. People didn't lie awake at night fearing propaganda posters. <BR
I should make an amendment to one of my comments I said no one was discussing the topic at hand without bringing up the fact that I used a Nazi quote. ParaTed did manage to seperate the Nazi thing from the topic, sorry Para, good stuff.
The only people who felt we needed all this WMD junk were people who were so soft on Hussein that he NEEDED to gas half of us to death for us to grow a backbone and remove him from power. Oh, and those where were making billions from propping his evil regime back up. What does that have to do
Daiwa, why do you try to reason with those who lose before the debate is even begun? If someone is going to use Nazis as their argument, they lost before they uttered their second syllable. I don't think if I had a attributed the quote to someone else you would be any happy. You're just annoyed that I'm p
Including the lame (yes lame) nazi comparison. As far as I can tell it was only a lame comparison because I chose the Nazis. If I had picked similar quote from a member of what ever party runs Micronesia everyone would be happy I suppose? And Micronesia has such sex appeal too, I regret missing that boat!<
Why can a majority disagreement not be quiet? In a democracy, the majority makes the ruler, not the loudest faction. That is exactly what makes a democracy different from a fascist system. Well you're the one that started talking about volume and not proportions when obviously it is the la
And if you believe that a president who holds an MBA and who can fly an aircraft (and land it on an aircraft carrier?) is a "joke", then I'm afraid you will find very few people who qualify as serious using your standards. An MBA and the ability to fly a plane says absolute nothing about the man's cha
