guys, i've been spending a lot of time there lately (only on that board), and i've come to the conclusion that it's vastly superior in many ways. in fact, the only passionate debate i've had on this board in a long, long time has been with a guy from netphoria? so the question i pose to you all, is what gives?

We're not being properly moderated!
On a serious note, is the point of this board to have passionate debates? I don't like having those on the Internet.

i follow up on every complaint that is mailed to me, and beyond that, i really only rarely edit/send threads to hell, because this board sees so little traffic as it is.
i'm not sure the entire purpose of this board is to debate, but i would say that debate should be a key componant in any political are philisophical discussion. i don't believe that you can really understand something unless you try and discredit it first.

I think people tire of this philosophy board because a few of the most regular members/contributors have very specific viewpoints and beliefs they will not allow their debate to vary from, so people get frustrated and/or bored. or maybe that's me. But I've noticed ongoing debate/discussion from people of similar mindset a lot on here, whereas somone with a totally opposing view usually gives up and wanders away before things really get going.

yeah that's true, but at the same time, the people that i think you are reffering to, really carry minority opinions.

Or it's because the threads are all the same. Every time I come here (usually when netphoria is down) I see the same topics (i.e., does god exist, gun control, capital punishment). I can't remember the last time I've had one of those debates. I can see how, after a wile, people would get board of it and wander on to greener pastures. Netphoria has some posters that are completely rigid in their viewpoints but it's still different and entertaining debate with them. Maybe substance is what is needed.

Yeah, but Im not hear to start fighting. Sure, I'll stick my two pence in, and see what happens, but there is no point me saying something which someone has said before, so I kinda have to read it all first.

I have always thought attacking someone for their beliefs is incredibly stupid, but then so is enforcing your beliefs on others. To take your instance, Jaqui, its as wrong for me to attack your Christianity as it is for you to try and make me a Christian.
Its an entirely personal thing that should have nothing to do with anybody else.
Jackal

I only attacked your beliefs as a defense mechanism. You have a way of wording things that comes off as not discussing, but putting down that person.
Example: when I said I didn't walk around late at night because I didn't want my breast cut off. refering to Jack the Ripper.
You came back with: He didn't cut their breast off.
That implies that I am stupid and wrong.
So then I had to prove that he did. And then you glossed over the fact that you were wrong.
I can be wrong and I'm ok with that, but in that instance there was no other reason for you to point out that I was wrong, because the whole JTR case in general could make a girl think about getting hurt. So when you said that I thought: "She's still trying to get under my skin."
I have stopped attacking your religion, and agree with NN, although it seems he's implying that I'm stupid.

is this what your talking about walter? is this where she OWNED me?
yeah, nice one...
lady, I"m talking about the first time you attacked my beliefs. to my recollection, it was your third post on the board and your first post ever to me. that's not defence. that's just rude.
second, countering you in anything does not imply that your stupid. pardon me, but it sounds like you have some serious inferiority complex. every time I ever say anything other than agreeing with you, you complain that I'm calling you stupid or whatever. get over it. it's a message board and I don't imply that your stupid. if I meant to imply that you were stupid I'd say:
"ha! yeah... your reeeeaaall smart :rolleyes:"
I didn't gloss over the fact that I was wrong, I acknowledged that on his last victim he ripped her to shredds. would you like me to appologize?
"yes ma'am, I was wrong...he did cut off a womans breasts....and everything else attached to her bodice."
it just seems that singling out her breasts being torn off is like saying "he cut her."
oh and I did give a reason for pointing all that out. I said I was immature and looking for a discussion. and yet you still complain??

I don't know about that, I'm still here and I've been attacked plenty by many different people. I've been wrong, posted stupid shit, been called names, and been put in my place many times over.
I do care how my words may effect people. And I don't think posting shit on a messageboard to get a rise out of people just for my excitement is such a great thing.
I don't see the logical side of starting a conversation for that reason.
If I felt a need to see a bunch of people going at it, I'd watch Jerry Springer on paternity test day. At least I could see some punching and chair throwing.

to be angy, i would really have to give you more than a fleeting moments thought, and believe me dude, i don't (which makes you not at all different from anyone else on this board btw).
as for throwing a temper tantrum, i don't really think i did - but if that's what you call it when people present semi intellegent negations to your willfully ignorant point of view, then so be it.
none of this however changes the fact that my actions don't make you any more or less a bigot/idiot/asshole - only your actions have that power.

true, i cannot relate to that. in my country though, when people make such arguments about say, race, i usually find that socio-economics play a greater role in civic deterioration than other, more superficial factors. of course, socio-economics cannot excuse criminal behavior. if you've ever seen me debate knight1234 you'd know how i feel about personal accountability.

No, thats because nobody did. Not even you.
I hate to use your primitive terms, but your beloved "white man" causes the terrorism by his oppresive foreign policy. People resort to suicide bombs because the West pushes them there. No one deserves to be attacked, but both 9/11 and the London bombings were expected due to their countries oppresive tactics. They werent CAUSES, they were REACTIONS to the causes of the West. The root cause of the terrorism is the oppression of the West. I fully expect more terrorist attacks, but thats the price we pay.
Im not retarded enough to blame terrorism on a muslim population that had as much to do with it as I did.
You really should actually learn something before spouting such shit, rather than becoming a reactionary fool yourself.

Those insurgents are as lily-livered as the fucking IRA. Not man enough to mount an army and fight and die for Allah's glory, they operate under the pretense that killing innocents (inc. their own) is somehow on the same level as fighting the enemy.
The IRA were fucking retarded, and so are these muslim cunts. It's not even as if they couldnt fight the Americans, look how many are still getting killed by the odd bombing or two. It's just theyre too weak, too fucking chicken to fight like men. Getting rid of Saddam was a good thing, and so fucking what if America had oil on it's mind. The West can't be held to ransom by some fucking brown skinned dictator who happens to own land filled with black gold.

we got rid of saddam. saddam was a bad guy. was it our responsibility to get rid of him? no. did 30K iraqis, most of whome were not combatants need to die in order for the US "to give" them freedom? probably fucking not. is freedom in iraq worth 1 american life? not in my opinion, no. and actually kris, you have no way to justify the remark you made about who kills more people on a daily basis. the US government has not released official figures of iraqi dead. as far as i know, no hard figures exist for the amount of dead due to acts by the insurgents. President Bush though, estimates that 30K iraqis have been killed by the coalition.

Ah and nice comment about backing up claims seeing as YOU NEVER HAVE. You're just a great big ass who spouts out random bullshit at the second someone is blaming a different race or social class for something.
haha, and you're saying that I don't live in a town which has been polluted by Muslims? You've never been to my city, dumbass, how can you pass that judgement? Five years ago it was entirely different. There were small amounts of muslims living in the city and there was crime every now and then. Now we have Muslim gangs running around attacking people with hammers, selling drugs, and all sorts of things. They've ruined the community.
Who said it did, moron? Try and stick to the facts rather than your idiotic reactionary bullshit.
I know a great deal about of lot of things, yet you know nothing about nothing. Tragic, really.
The US replaced SADDAM with something much worse, and increased the risk to other countries causing such atrocities as the July bombings in London. They wanted war, they got war. What, do only expect one army to fight, dickhead? :lol:
I think you will find the illegal occupation of Iraq has now caused over 100,000 deaths. Far more than any suicide bomber thus making them far worse. Good to see youre still entertaining enough to get your facts wrong again :yes: Talking of which...
I have always backed up my claims where neccesary. Resorting to lies is very childish of you, but tell us something we dont know.
Considering it hasnt happened to any city, I dont need to know about your city to know it hasnt happened to yours. Any evidence to back your ridiculous claim up with? No? What a surprise. Youre just a liar.

Suicide bombings didn't just start happening after the US/Iraq war, dummy. Terrorism has been going on before that to. The Muslims not only hate us because we've been on their land they hate us out of strict religious reasons (ever hear of the Jihad, moron?). They won't stop until they have Muslim majority and Muslim rule.
It's not retarded to blame terrorism on the Muslim population when the crippling majority of terrorists are Muslim. Especially when their religion praises this intolerance and their actions.
No, it didnt. So the so-called "Butcher of Baghad" did bad things. That means we should go make it worse? What a fucking moron. Lets not forget the US put Saddam in to power to help their war against the Russians, so any atrocities he commited already put blood on US hands. The West were ultimately responsible for his crimes as well. A simple matter of protecting a free vote for the public would have been better than invasion. They had plenty of choices and chose the wrong one.
Why mention that suicide bombers started after invasion, reatrd? The Muslims dont hate anybody. They are far too big a collective to be generalised about except by idiots like you. They have never said anything about stopping till they have total Muslim rule. Stop lying, little boy.
It is retarded to blame Muslims when they are not responsible. So a white guy kills someone, does that mean you should be tried for murder too? You really are fucking dumb :lol:
Funny how you talk about intolerance, when you show more of that any Muslim I have ever known.

I don't think Muslims would have just started bombing our military ships and American Embassies overseas without cause. What is the cause?
Was Sadaam a huge threat to the U.S.? I know he killed thousands of his own people, but why did our government feel we needed to stop him. Was he planning to attack us?

so 80% from US bombing alone. then you have to figure that at least a portion of that number is completely accidental due to the environment. a portion would also probably be from natural causes. still more would be from other types of coalition combat. i'll be nice and say that as much as 15% might be from the insurgency, but that still doesn't prove Kris's point, at all.
who to believe? my figure, which came directly from GWB's mouth? probably not. Kris's blanket assertion which included no actual figures, source data, or anything resembling a cohesive thought process? probably not. i'll go with johns hopkins university.
thanks danny.

See, I read that.
It's more than disturbing. I care that people are suffering, scared and dying.
Now I'll feel like a useless fool doing my stupid Christmas shopping later.
Now I feel guilty for having food, a family, house, fun, things to look foreward too.

No problem. And thats just the first site on the google.
Conclusive proof that the Western governments (let alone Israel)commit far more atrocities than the terrorists could ever dream of. It utterly destroys Kris's argument, but then those of us with intelligence knew that anyway.

Its not a case of feeling guilty, but recognising those who are really responsible and not becoming as stupid as Kris and Fraser.

They replaced Saddam with democratic elections. I fail to see how that is worse. It didn't increase the risk to other countries either, the Muslims have always been in many countries around Europe, and there have been terrorist attacks in Europe before the war on Iraq. Common sense really, too bad you lack it.
Did you expect the war to be without casualties? In every war there have been a lot of innocent people killed in order for change. Wake the fuck up.
So no cities have seen crime rates go up because of Muslim immigrants? Danny, as I've said before, you've never been to my city, you know nothing about it. If you can find statistics for Mons, Belgium on the internet, be my guest. I couldn't. I don't need a fucking statistic, I can just walk out into the town and see it all happening.
Well unsurprisingly youre wrong again, moron. But then, it wouldnt be like you to stick to facts.
They have not replaced Saddam with democratic elections, they have replaced Saddam with something far worse. As so many Iraqis have said, at least they had jobs and houses under Saddam, now they have nothing. It has increased the anger of the Arab world and increased the support for terrorist organisation, so the threat to the West is increased by a huge margin, youre wrong again. Again, you trot out the irrelevance of terrorist actions before the war. I see you want to go over such illogical ground, because you dont have a point. Not surprising.
Wrong again. No war has to have innocents killed for things to change. I expect so-called "civilised" nations to follow the Geneva convention of warfare they created, not break it whenever it suits them. There is no doubt, it is the Muslims who are the victims here and the West is the evil power. Wake up to what? Your pathetic, ignorant and dumb fear? :lol: No, I'll stick to reality and the facts thanks. I'll leave cloud cuckoo land to you and your bullshit.
No, no crime rate goes up because of one particular set of people. I see you have no evidence, I call you a liar.

Oh, Saddam murdered thousands, was opressive, but at least people had homes and jobs! That's bullshit reasoning Danny. Typical liberal propaganda.
Innocent people have died in every war. There's no way you can stop that from happening. It's not as if the troops are walking down the street shooting at every Iraqi they see Danny. Mistakes are made.
You don't have any evidence to the contrary. Which makes you a liar and a fucking moron.
Its gonna take a long time because they fucked up from doing the wrong thing and going to war. Now, the damage can never truly be healed and the anger from both the Arab world and the West to the appalling invasion is only going to help the terrorists. Bullshit reasoning by the Iraqi's themselves eh? :lol: At least you cant claim that the invasion was for them now. It appears you have no idea what propaganda is. Merely citing proven facts is not propaganda. Unlucky again.
You can very easily stop it happening by not starting a war. Oh, and the troops were given license to shoot at anyone in Fallujah in Novenmber. Wrong on both counts.
No, I made a counter-claim. The burden of proof is on the positive. It isnt up to me to provide evidence, because Im calling the negative, and saying it doesnt exist. I call you a liar, and you cannot defend your claim, therefore your point is destroyed. Destroying your point does not make me a liar. Look the word up.

So youre saying your point doesnt matter?
You made the claim that rape and crime has gone up due to Muslim IMMIGRANTS. Now you are claiming that the fact is isnt immigrants doesnt matter?

Rape has been used as a weapon of war for centuries - there was systematic rape of German women by allied forces during/after WW2. It isn't exclusively used by any one group.
That isn't intended as a contentious statement, I'm merely pointing out that you can't use that as "evidence" to support your hatred of Islam.
Which I do find rather scary, to be honest. I respect your right to an opinion and I think it's good that in this country we do allow people to air their views, because at least then there is a chance of engaging in some kind of productive dialogue, but some of you are verging on "final solution" here.

But wouldn't any reasonable person agree that bombing civilians is barbaric and inhumane? Whatever your opinion on whether or not it's necessary doesn't alter the fact that is something which is still being utilised by the US military and their allies.

I think they call it "collateral damage"? They certainly didn't bend over backwards not to. The thing is, in war BOTH sides commit atrocities. Dresden anyone? I'm not saying that because that happened the US military are deliberately firebombing playschools and petting zoos, but I think it's a pertinent example. Wars are fought through propaganda just as much as military force, and it's important for each "side" to believe that their forces only act for good and any harm caused to civilians is accidental...but if the invading forces in Iraq really had gone out of their way NOT to hit civilians they'd have lost within about two seconds. You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs, and war is a right big omelette, like Rick Waller would make or something.

But they deliberately targeted civilians.
Like when Bush criticised Saddam for putting military installations in civilian areas, yet he still targeted those civilian areas, killing innocent civilians, and oh look! they was no military installations there.
They cut off food and medical supplies into Fallujah, to create panic and flush the insurgents out. An act of terrorism itself. This only led to the further suffering amongst the civilians and directly contravened the Geneva convention of warfare. They directly targeted ambulances making their way to hospital.

I was trying to be "tactful" given that I don't have any references I could cite if I accused them of deliberately targeting civilians. I didn't think the Baghdad Blog would cut it as evidence really (y'all should read that who haven't already, very interesting).
Also, Kris, if you're at all interested in the history/psychology of rape as weapon of war, get yourself a copy of Against Our Will by Susan Brownmiller (about 10p from all good jumble sales), it's probably a bit hardcore feminist for you to actually want to read but the references she cites might lead you to some interesting material.

you fail to see how killing 100K innocent people is worse than leaving a country that posed no threat to anyone outside of that region alone? kris, if you had a brain in your head, you would realize that 1. this is not a fair trade. 2. at the end of the day the people of iraq will still be muslims. 3. the people in power will be the more HARD CORE fire brand muslims. 4. iraq is destined to look more like iran as a result. 5. the unrest between tribes in that country is due in large part to idiotic british imperialism.

1. rape is not at all exclusive to islam. 2. how does a high incident of rape in pakistan translate into it being alright to kill 100,000 iraqis who no one is accusing of raping or killing anyone?
