Terrorism, and the politics of of War
How do you make peace with an enemy that you don't negotiate with??
I think at one point you have to stop and consider that the "experts" of war must have this figured out. But at another point you have to figure that if we the people don't put in our 2 since then, why do we even bother to be free. SO here's my 2 since. "Totally Annihilate" them. The way I see it God sees us all like cocha roaches and he can stomp us all out any time he wants. The Irony behind this is that we can destroy tank from 20 miles high with pin point accuracy but we can't kill the gd cocha roaches.. \ qcc?? |

Y'know, starting conversations on nuanced and complex geopolitical issues would be easier if you would speak fucking english.

On the other hand, yeah, I think political dialogue is important. Even if you disagree with your opponents' points of view, it's important to understand them.

but that's not what he said, monk. I don't know what the nationality or native tongue of JBKlyde may be, but I think he is either deliberately being opaque and indecipherable, or he needs to at the very least lean a little harder on spellcheck and dictionary.com if he wants to try to spark complex or nuanced debate.

Ibram, you've not been paying too much attention to JBK, have you? This is his regular patois, he's not being especially opaque. He's something of an acquired taste. There are other posts/threads that are considerably more incomprehensible than this one.

Yeah, he's hard to categorize. I was reading back on his posts and he's said some really good stuff, some funny stuff, some confusing stuff. But he admits to all of it and that makes him cool in my book.
Oh sorry, I was talking about you right in front of your face, JBK. He's alright. |

I think you really need to consider that I am under educated... I took one class on "netiquette" in college and I passed it but I flunked out a year later... I'm living with a mental disability and I really don't know how I'm supposed to act.. I'd even go as far as to say that I am in-fact the Helen Keller of the world wide web.

Its not just netiquette. i do want to apologise for failing to consider disability - but that said, if you made it as far as college, you should be able to write plain english. Think about making a post like trying to write an essay. If anything you wrote in an essay was unclear or "associative" or "abstract" it would be marked down, right? Well, when you're trying to communicate a position or opinion, it doesn't help your point to be unclear or confusing - it only leads to your opinion or even character being rejected on that basis. Take, for example, your vaguely offensive thread I quoted earlier. What the FUCK were you trying to say in the opening post? If the answer can't be expressed clearly, in a way that any other member of the forum can understand, why post it?

There's a certain amount of addiction that comes along with the net... I suppose it's has something to do with the "great unknown" and the risks that come along with being young wild and free.. I guess I'm sort of addicted to writing on the net so I always try to make something out of nothing for the love of the written word...
