[jumper69]

<font size="6">HA HA FUCKING HA!!!!!</font>

So muslims are not allowed to kill women and children. But men are okay? Oh, wait, it's okay if women and kids get caught in a crossfire???

What a fucking asshat!! This "muslim" needs to meet Allah. And quickly too!

You see Sean, since we live in this little bubble known as America, we are only affected by things that happen to us. We are only outraged when someone targets us, and even more so when they succeed. It has something to do with the fact that we are constantly reassured that we are the biggest badasses on the planet. What do we need to care about the child slave trade along the Ivory Coast of Africa? Of the sexual slave trade of Micronesia?

We Americans pretend to be the moral standard that the rest of the world needs to live up to, no matter that we watch idly while our own people die everyday from such things as hunger.

What happened in Russia is yet just another reason in a string of events that should have prompted such outrage.

For Ickey and Sean, apparently that outrage has just begun, and this is so, so, SO pathetically sad.

If anyone lacks compassion and understanding of world events, it's Ickey and Sean. I can understand Sean because he lives in Europe and has vastly controlled media and education that limits his knowledge.

well lost for words seems an appropriate phrase.

Where have you been the last 15 years, dickhead? People have been bombed, beheaded, shot, bombed again...and you just now are outraged?

Just now?

What kind of ingnorant, uneducated, uncompassionate fool are you? And why do you think you have some monopoly for compassion? And why just now?

My threshold for compassion was breached years ago. Yours, just now.

You've got a whole in your heart the size of Europe and the brain the size of a pea.

Hunger has consistently declined in the 20th century.

According to the United Nations, the number of malnourished people increased from 540 million in 1979/81 to 580 million in 1989/1990. Since world population grew by 23 percent during the same period, the percentage of people hungry actually declined during this period.

What this means is more than 90 percent of all people alive today receive enough food. Of those who don?t, according to the UN and World Bank, 90 percent of them are within 10 percent of their needed calorie total.

The problem of hunger today is not lack of food, but interference with distribution of food. In Africa, for example, which has experienced the worst famines in the last quarter of the 20th century, people starved not because there wasn?t enough food, but because of the actions taken by governments there to keep food out of the hands of people.

One of the best accomplishments of the 20th century is the near-eradication of famine.

Famine caused 20 to 25 million deaths in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. For today?s larger population, a comparable number of famine deaths for the current 1975-2000 quarter of the century would be about 50 million people, yet the famine death toll for 1975-2000 is likely to be 2 million or fewer (Bailey 1995, p. 55).

Reason, sometimes I think you are really the moron that Trav makes you out to be.

After the 9/11 attacks, I was outraged over the fact that SUDDENLY America was outraged about terrorism. I mentioned auch things as the Beirut bombings and pushing men in wheelchairs off boats.

You want to talk about outrage, you want to know who was in Somalia around the time of Black Hawk Down? Me.

You want to know who was in Haiti when we tried to put Aristide back in there? Me.

But all that stuff didn't seem to matter much at the time, not until 9/11 was the American public outraged. We should have been outraged decades ago. But, since we are Americans and it didn't happen to us, we didn't care. The Cole bombing? I lost a friend on that ship. The rest of the world got a peek into American thinking following 9/11, a peek that told them we weren't interested until you hit us.

And for the record, where the hell did I attribute ANYTHING to you? I do believe attribution would mean that I specifically stated your name, which was never done.

From the Dopehead:

The silent majority of peace loving muslims are now speaking up and expressing outrage, where once they were afraid are now voicing an opinion.
This could see the end of this menace far more quickly than guns and bombs.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">This is so incredibly stupid, it's unbelievable that he would type such a thing.

Apparently the beheadings, the bombings, the airliners, and numerous other attempts at killings of innocents weren't enough.

Now is the time to take action! [img]graemlins/sure.gif[/img]

Reason, perhaps it's time for an early lunch.
