I agree with Cat. But I really don't want to get in on this one.

We have Chechens, why don't we have Chongens?

dija mean to say cojones? ... ... lol i dont know what u sed right there >_>;;;
well ofcourse i can sympathize with their poor upbringing and the fact that theyve been oppressed all their lives, but why are they takin it out on us? instead of the oppressive government?
and IMO as soon as they kill an innocent they should not be exempt from punishment, they know what they are doing...

IRT Wiseman: My post wasn't really to piss you off and to delete it so you can have the appearence of the oppressive mod. It was more of an attempt to get you to read my posts seriously. Didn't seem to work though. Have you also noticed that i haven't called your posts stupid, like you have mine? Or how i'm not getting at you (i.e. calling you pro-terrorist or something), but i can if you want me do.
IRT Ral-kun: Good point, but then again, Wiseman's method of Terrorism destruction is much like hitting a bobo doll, or trying to kill a deep rooted weed. While we can kill the current terrorists in our faces, it still doesn't solve the problems that made them terrorists, so more may come about from their homelands. We can kill them, but more will come again.
My method, although much longer, will prevent people from feeling the need to become terrorists. You don't see many terrorists coming from the US, Spain, or the UK, do you? If their countries develop to a similar level to ours, they won't need to resort to terrorism again. It kills the root. And you may as well kill the current terrorists as well, thats another part of stopping them influencing others.
If the Chechen area was given independence, the support for terrorism will drop. Russia can ally with the area, and provide help. The country can develop, we get a new trading country, and everyone prospers.
You see, no more terrorists, and more money. Thats win-win in the long term.

IRT Cav-No, I mean Chongens. As in Cheech(Chechen) and Chong(Chongen). It was a terrible joke. They were a comedy duo from the 70s-80s who made marijuana jokes.

IRT OCB: So, I'm supposed to take your posts seriously if you call me shit and other things. As usual, you are wrong. You don't called my posts stupid, you simply started semi-flaming when asking if I'm stupid, then you just plain insulted me. Anyways, I won't bother with you. Go with the muslim terrorists and give them your computer, maybe you save lives or whatever crap you think.

You mentioned the "action = consequences" idea. Go back a bit, i remember you claiming to become dumber with each post of mine you read. And this idea moved over onto this topic. Now, i wouldn't respond by flaming if you didn't call my posts stupid. Flames are to get your attention to the real focus of my posts. While i have been intellegently reply to the many smart points you've raised, you pretty much told me to shut up and go fuck myself as i'm stupid hippy.
One interesting thing i noticed, is when Ral-kun posted his brillant post, you said that he's turned this topic into "a worthy discussion." Considering the evidence i've seen, it doesn't seem like you were trying.
"Explaining my thoughts to you would be a waste of time though, you won't ever listen to me."
Just bringing this quote up, you already assumed that i won't listen, even though i responded in previous posts. A dicussion is the comunication of opinions between two people on a topic. Your not pulling you half. I want to hear your thoughts, they will be worth posting even if i wouldn't listen.
Right, so could we have a serious dicussion, not an argument? That takes both parties to work at. I'll start.
Please talk about Argentina. I haven't been on the South American continent, so it would be good to heard what the place was like. I'd like to hear your theory on why it's poor too.
Europe's major advantage is the Gulf Stream. It warms the continent, making ideal growing conditions, dispite being at a similar latitude to Canada. Africa is a very hot country, with large deserts. Rain is unable to occur frequently like with Europe. This is probably why Europe managed to develop first.
The other possiblity could be that the heat fried their brains. That would explain the primitive way of life they still have. Two tribes i really don't like are the Ik and the Masai. I'll explain later if you want.

The masai are just cattle herders, right?
Ik are sustnance farmers, right?
Why don't you like them?

Masai are violent. They believe that all cattle belong to them, so they go around and attack other tribes. They also do female circumition(SP) or as sane people call it, gential mutilation.
The Ik toss out their children out of the tribe at the age of three, regardless of if they'll die or not. How the tribe still exists is beyond me.
