You have a point, and i will admit that i tend to react to racism with racism. In other words, i am not racist until somone else looks at me as a 'white guy' or a 'western hethen'. When somone looks at me like that, guess what, i look right back! Perhaps not the most constructive attitude around but thats the way i feel. you bet your tiny mind your a racist. what you feel IS racism, whats it like?, makes you feel powerful I bet. Anyone

The definition of treason in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

I have a question for all peoples invaded by outside nations. Treason is defined like this 1. the offense of acting to overthrow one's government or to harm or kill its sovereign. 2. a violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or to one's state. 3. the betrayal of a trust or confidence; breach of faith; treachery. This includes everything expected of or has been done with complicity to and before the war on the peoples of Iraq. I suggest that there is

some ignorant racists think "racism" is only for certain ethnic groups Usually it is the ethnic groups that are racist towards 'whites'. Oh sorry i forgot, racism only exists if it is a white person doing it! Look at history, can you blame them, especially when it still exists. Here in Australia sadly there are many outback towns where you get bashed by Aboriginals just for being white. They are extremely

hhh, when did I ever say anything remotly racist? And yes, I do hate the Islamic extremists, should I not? Cant be racism when I dont have the whole race. I think you should rephrase your opinion in "IMMIGRANTS" then, Sure sounded racist to me. PS some ignorant racists think "racism" is only for certain ethnic groups i've even heard one welsh peoson say " everyone hates the paki's , even the wogs"

What would Sitting Bull have done if he had WMDs? Is this a parallel to our current situation? Sitting Bull could be defined as a "Native American extremist" trying to take military action to defend his culture. He was gobbled up by the larger society which overtake him. He didn't need WMD to be exterminated.

Good point. The Iraqi citizens we kill in collateral damage are innocent, as are the Palistinian children shelled on the beach. I think we rationalize this by the argument that the citizens become legitimate targets when their own leaders choose to use terror tactics. If Osama Bin Laden decides that US citizens are legitimate targets, then, as far as I am concerned, the citizens of governements committing those attacks are legitimate targets. It gets less clea

Now Marcus. On 9/11 nearly 3000 people were killed for no reason by radical islamists. Now, we are returning the favor. That's so naieve it's almost madness. And whats next? Some muslim smuggles a nuke through Mexico, and blows up NY completly? Since, I assume your not American, you probably wont give a damn about it, and still support peaceful means. Now you see, they wont mind, cause doing that is SUPPORTED. Now we

I haven't got time to comment about the thread yet, but skimming through I noticed this. I honestly dont give a damn if some "innocents" die, cause they surely don't care if they kill our citizens. You surely have brutality sorted, Not just the dehumanization of those you feel are at war but the wholesale alienation and summary judgement of, In your words "innocents" To dismiss your argument, "Innocents" Do they "kill out citizens" " o

The point of this thread is I have taken delivery of a Saitek Eclipse II keyboard and a razer DeathAdder mouse. I will never critisize corded input again. Firstly, The saitek is Awesome. the build is great, the key action crisp and responsive and oh the lighting is amazing. i love that lig

I think the truth here is that any form of government does restrict our freedom. I am not free to drive at 100mph on my local streets, nor can I decide not to pay my property taxes. Unless we live in a complete anarchy there are some restrictions on what we can and cannot do. These freedoms are given up because of rationality, it can't be right for you to do these things under any normal circumstance. So i agree that voluntary restrictions on total f

Is that a reason to destroy a country? Sadly, I say yes. My kids sleep safe at night because we are fighting in Iraq, not here. This is a far from perfect world, but the fact that we are free to have this debate tends to make we think that our way works better, and that it is worth fighting for. I hope every child everywhere could sleep safely, I think you are overly worried about the threat to America, Thats considering your own personal worries about y

This is purely a domestic theory, please don't think this argument has anything to do with reasons for external wars. I think I cannot put this any more clearly. The terrorists want to effect our lives in a negative way. They want our lives to be degraded by their actions. If our Governments restrict and therefore diminish our freedom and consequently our lives are constricted by laws that are in direct consequence of the terrorism. Then these acts alone are wh

"For evil to triumph, it is only neccessary that good men do nothing" - oh, I can't remember who said it but it's a good quote I quoted that several days ago too, It is somthing to consider when you argue against the invasion of Iraq. It is a bit different for afghanistan though, because i don't think you could call the Taliban evil, just seriously misguided!

I come across a discussion like this it scares the living crap out of me. The diversity of opinions are so strong and so polar opposite in so many cases you wonder how humanity has lasted this long. You sound terrified that we have differing views to you, I am less scared by my diversity than your polarisation, Strong beliefs are great. They define you as a person and give you meaning.

You forget that Big Media has become the government lap dog, instead of Democracy's watchdog. Fox news for one (24/7 Republican propaganda) It's the same here in Britain, Murdock also controls many of the biggest media outlets here and we get the same spin. It looks like Americas PBS are at it also with their "America at a crossroads" 12 hour pro war chant. The days of the media reporting the truth a

Well what motivates our government is the answer. I feel that the primary motivation of the American government invading Iraq was to avoid getting blamed for not doing enough... not that Iraq would necissarily be the one to bring harm to America otherwise, but it is all about public perception. The government wan't to be perceived as doing somthing so that when the next terror attack comes, they can say "well, look, we already invaded two countries, who can say we didn

I think the last two posts are unnecessarily acrimonious. I think the term "pales" was just shorthand for Palestinians, that's all. Thats surely a non Palestinian opinion and therefore as useless as saying paki is ok as it just shortens Pakistani. However, the regard for the Palestinians as the barbaric, terrorist second-class citizens and Israelis are the big & bad "chosen people" is indeed racist, and that needs to s
