Yeah, Reagan and his Republican Congress.

5 pages on and no one has asked the obvious question - why are you letting the enemy join your army?

that's not an obvious question. it's a stupid question.

I've been reading a lot of reports about the flak this guy took for being Middle Eastern and Muslim. It doesn't in any way justify what he did but I can't help but wonder if he would have still done this if he was treated as an American (assuming that he wasn't, as his family has claimed).

Completely speculative, I know, but it leads to a question of my own. Do his actions somehow mean the suspicions about him were correct, or was it a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Yeah? How's that "permanent majority" working out for you?

You are so messed up in the head. Its almost sad the way that people will gladly dismiss and appreciate even the slaughter of American soldiers, and yet grieve over the fact that this poor Muslim guy got made fun of at some point in his life.

Fuck him and his smelly ass muslim family. People in America actually HAVE IT BAD. They don't go around killing innocents. People in America get shit on badly for their religion. They don't go around killing. People in America hate the wars we are in. They do go around killing. Get my point?

In no WAY was this self-fulfilling. This man was raised in a religion of hate, a religion of violence, and he was fucking loony. Mix those two, and we have this horrible travesty that morons like Pouncer are already trying to excuse this waste of carbon for.

There is absolutely no room for sympathy for this guy. None whatsoever.

grear · 11-06-2009, 09:45 AM

my quote and "like" comment had nothing to do with sympathizing. or even making excuses. it has to do with him actually taking a moment to actually THINK about why someone does something like that. rather than just saying the same fucking thing over and over.

"so and so did this because of this"
it's not that simple

i guess i just get sick of people making assumptions. as soon as his name was released, it began. whether or not it proves to be correct...whatever. it's about the fucking constant assumptions.

do not confuse that with lack of sympathy.

Laodaron · 11-06-2009, 09:50 AM

That IIISSSSS a lack of sympathy. The guilty aren't allowed sympathy in situations like this, because in effect, an entire nation is blasted by this. There shouldn't BE a period of reflection on his motives. The only thing that you should be saying if you don't want to say the same things about him being Muslim, being anti-American in our causes, or that he likened a suicide bomber in a Muslim nation to a soldier laying on a grenade to save his comrades, is that you are saddened by our nations loss.
