Some Jarhead last night: "this dumb a$$ thinks hes fireproof"
quote:Duh!
'current events' (plural) implies there is more than one thing going on in the world at any one time
quote:Well has it been mentiond several times on the board, this I cant confirm without doing a search, but yes there is some terrible things going on in that country as many others.
zimbabwe is in a terrible state (like many other nations) and it has been mentioned several times on this board
quote:If you had to be qualified to comment on something, this forum wouldnt exist, why? Because not a damn one of us is quallified to comment on the actions of a or any nation. We are not leaders of a country, we are not at the White House or with Bush when he makes his decisions.
i am suprised you feel qualified to comment on our attitudes towards world events when you evidently don't have a good grasp of them yourself.
quote:Who said anything about a brief? Or are you just tyring to sound cool because you know a term used by military type folk?
seriously, how much did you know about the liberian situation (or was that the lybian situation ) before you were briefed?
Some Jarhead last night: "this dumb a$$ thinks hes fireproof"
quote:exactly my point - if you don't know what's going on, don't start pointless arguments with us about why we're not protesting a peace keeping mission.
I will admit however, that I dont know everything about what is going on. Maybe when you get a job and work 12-14 hour days, then you will understand why I miss the news every now and then.
quote:i think you mis-read ray. no, we don't need to be qualified to comment on world events.

quote:I could careless if you do jump or if you dont, but it is just stuck me as odd. Take a look back at all the protest posts made about Afganistan and Iraq. Now that the UN is doing something that I was sure that would enrage some people, obviusly nobody thought that a 4-6 month wait for the UN to take action, was bad.
you are complaining about people on hop jumping on bandwagons, then when a situation arises that you think we should be protesting and to your surprise no-one mentions protest, you start putting us down us for not jumping on the bandwagon?!
quote:hehe reverse that on yourself and a few other people... how many times have people asked what people though and my reponce is returned with nothing but anger.
if you ever truly want to know what we think i suggest you try an approach that isn't just angry, inflammatory rhetoric

and if it got to the extent that we started shipping them out of the country - under whatever guise - then it would have to be pretty bad eh?

quote:Hang about - think about this. Are you honestly saying that the African Americans enjoyed American slavery? Because if you are you need to go down to your local farm ownerand get him to put you into bonds, beat you (or not - but it did happen) feed you just enough to keep you alive, and make you do all the work just to get the feel for what it must have been like.

We are all in the gutter. But some of us are trying to set it alight...You can't be a proper country without a beer. Possibly an airline and a rugby team, but at the very least you need a beer.Eat Well, Stay Fit, Die Anyway

Don't you dare try and use the fact that your esteemed country has FINALLY chipped into the Liberia situation (a country created by America to get rid of it's 'dissident' slaves who wouldn't accept that black=inferior) - which as you can see the UN has been working on for a long time - as a stick to beat us with.quote:I'm glad you agree.
Frosty, are you insane? Yes racism had everything to do with it the ex-slaves leaving, they left to ESCAPE the racisim.
quote:And while we have argued about the facts of this event in the past on this board I don't remember anyone being misinformed enough to say that the U.S. used a hydrogen bomb on Japan.

Just as your country dropped a nuclear device, the hydrogen bomb, on Hiroshima and leveled an entire city - using terror to finish a war, terror on a global scale - they used terror against you

Hate me hate my government all you want, I really dont care, because you are insignificant in the big picture. Just some twit in Melburne who thinks he as a clue about what the real world is like. I would bet you have never left that part of Oz.

quote:hehe where did you get that from. And now you say that you never said that! Interesting.
If this country started shipping black people who wouldn't behave off to another country it would be seen as horrendous - and it is - yet you're willing to defend it here?? why? it's a bad arguement
