This Board + America Is Full Of Racists

At what point did I suggest I knew everything about you? I don't give a shit where you're from. I simply responded to your insulting post.

Put yourself in my position "buddy". How would you respond to that?

What position would that be? An American?

Hey buddy, I have an American passport and own a house in Florida so don't make stupid assumptions. I also know several people in NYC and one that worked in the WTC. I just happen to have lived in many places in the world and have seen many things that would make you cringe (which gives me a more comprehensive point of view). Do not assume you know anything about me, because it will only make you look foolish.

So if you're so damn smart and worldly, answer me this: What do you possibly expect to accomplish by voicing an opinion like that? Whether you're right or wrong, did you ever consider that maybe your opinion is not something anyone really wants to hear right now? That it MIGHT NOT BE APPROPRIATE all things considered? Or are you just so incredibly arrogant that you'd rather open your mouth and piss everyone off?

Well my cousin wished me a bit of luck yesterday and hopes that I can inflict a bit more damage then he was allowed to do when he fought in the Middle east. I feel military action is going to happen, To what degree who knows....Personally I feel if we go to Afghan then it will be a special forces playground. I can't see convential military strikes and attacks being all that effective. Also I see more money pouring into the 10% of the Afghan that is still controlled by those fighting the Taliban

Wow. You really are smart.

Thank you, but getting back to the issue, I am also American so I very apt to seeing your position. I didn't say it before because I thought you would see that it was implicitly insinuated...but then again....

If you haven't noticed, it is an open forum. If you also haven't noticed, America has something called freedom of speech, which means that I can (and will) voice my opinion.

You just don't realize that you are being played like marionettes by the media. That is the point I am getting to. For example, 15-20 people in Palestine celebrate the bombings and the TVs show it. All of a sudden, all Palestinians are evil and should be killed. That is manipulation of the facts and it is wrong.

There's a reason that people have stereotyped arabs as terrorists. Almost every time there is an act of terrorism on the news it was committed by someone wearing a towel on their head.
