seriously though... slavery doesnt count because most of the black people of america STILL hold a grudge against modern day "whitey". most of them hold us responsible for what our forefathers did 400 years ago. and... lets be real, [these] black people dont like "The Man"... as in, any single person in a position of power over society. that in itself is inline w/ my theory of an oppressed group of people not willingly befreindng the group of people responsible for their misery. the black people who are upset about slavery today are not friends w/ the white people.
Derk, read much? apparantly you glazed right over the part where i said MOST. apparantly you fall into the category of people who dont hate whitey? lets be honest, the Black panther movement wasnt started in favor of whitey and "The man". so dont tell me that every single black person doesnt hold modern-day whitey responsible for what happened 400 years ago. im not being racist, im just being a realist. i like everyone who isnt ignorant or obtuse, regardless of color, race, religioun or creed. one of my best friends is from the middle east, another of my good friends is Cuban, another good friend is black. so im not trying to oppresse anyone or kick anyone out of this country except people who dont like it here.
the Quran doesnt approve of killing in the name of Allah. these terrorists are extremists. predominantly, muslims are a peaceful people. so its not fair to brand every single middle-easterner as a hate mongering muslim. thats like saying every white person hates black people, and every german person hates jews, and every catholic hates the protestants. prejudice is a disease, compounded by ignorance.
singled mindedness is also a disease, compouned by obtuseness. im not saying that everything in that video is the truth. im not saying thats what really happened. but it raises perfectly legitimate questoins that cannot be answered by the feds who issue official answers. their statements dont resolve or explain what happened. you only know what you see on mainstream news. and if you beleive mainstream news is unbiased and untainted; you, my friend, have another thing coming. its your DUE DILLIGANCE to seek the truth and not accept the information that is being hand-fed to you at face value. question everything. the day you start giving blind trust to the people who control EVERYTHING in this country is the day you give up your freedom. the majority of the citizens in this country have already given up their freedom by accepting the information being fed to them by the lying bureaucrats in office.
how can you blindly accept the information the government feeds you via issued statements and mainstream media when they have been proven wrong by documented trials? i
if you beleive that jet fuel can melt steel, you are an idiot.
if you beleive that cell phones can get a signal w/o the recently-developed transmitter onboard at 40,000 feet, you are an idiot.
if you beleive a plane can crash land and leave no wreckage, you are an idiot.
if you beleive that every person of the muslim religion wants you dead, you are an idiot.
if you beleive every middle-easterner is a terrorist, you are an idiot.
if you beleive every single bureaucrat in power is putting your best interests ahead of theirs, you are an idiot.
if you beleive that the government has not considered fabricating an event to scare people to putting blind trust into the govt and relinquishing personal freedoms in the name of "national security", you are an idiot.
what im saying is, dont beleive the right wing, dont beleive the left wing. its your duty to take both sides of the story, do your own research, evaluate your findings and come to your own decision. dont let the biased media make your mind up FOR you. dont let the government make up your mind about who you should hate and who you should like.
i know for a fact that there are evil people n the middle east. my friend has been there. his family moved here in the late 70's. hes been there within the past 7 years. even back then there are extremists who say "join us or die". if you dont beleive in their religion, they will shoot you on the spot. it happend 7 years ago, and its happening now. the middle-east is the new vietnam. we are poking our nose where it doesnt belong... but as a nation of power, some people (those in the middle east being killed by the extremists) beleive its our duty to step in and do the "right thing". should we stand idley by as innocent people are being slaughtered by the extremists? some say its not our fight. i think the government fabricated a reason for us to be there to convince the people who feel its not our business, to agree to our presence. its a multifaceted agenda, but this is one of the reasons. Bush told you there were WMD's so that he could gain the public's approval of invading the middle east on the pretense of eliminating terrorists... thats not to say there ARENT any, cuz there certanly are.
normally, extreme terrorist groups take claim when they make attacks. look at the suicide bombings and attacks on embassies. we know exactly who did it immediately after it occurs. these groups WANT us to know who they are, what they stand for and tell us what they want. a terrorist attack means nothing if we dont know what it was for. there were no terrorist groups who took responsibility immediately after the 9/11 incident. IIRC, i saw nothing on the news untill about a week later regarding who was responsible. but that was 5 years ago, so my memory is fuzzy.
just dont be extreme and single minded... be OPEN minded. accept possibilities and rationalize this shit. ask yourself if people ahve raised valid questions and seek answers for these questoins. just think for youself... thats all.
