You sound like the birthers disputing O's birth certificate when he showed it.

(I am assuming satire here)

Yubba my friend, when all this is done we will still be Americans. God of your understanding bless your, sir.:salute:

So basically what you're saying is that if you sell your house to foreigners it's your real estate agents fault?

GGGeeeeeeeezzzzzzz would you look at the time,, didn't get a flight in or sink a butt load of ships..

Nice stretch.

I was painting a parrallel.

The other guy seems to like China.

I do not like the word twisting.

I am not saying one party or the other is complicit or not in this, I am simply looking at how Romney made his money..

But yeah nice attempt to twist my words.

Defend em no matter what, even my lefty ass trashes Obama...

Blind partisanism is so fun.

(I am going to vote my vote, and still respect who wins, will you righties be able to do that? Nope)

You haven't yet.

God still loves me no matter who I vote for.

You guys will too.

I am voting for.....

HR Puffinstuff.

Just kidding. I miss Bachman, why did you guys vote her out, do you understand how much comedy we missed out on? President Bachman and first lady Marcus, the gay whisperer

America truly needs a sense of humor.:)

Minnesota, re-elect her please, we lurve her like mudkipz.

Thanks but it's no nicer than the way you twist Romneys Chinese investments. Don't you think Americans should have the right to buy and sell stocks on the world market?

At the cost of our jobs?:hmmm:

I always had you pegged as a patriot, but I guess money rules over the welfare of our citizens.

And liberals are diseased?

No, but I'm thinking about the comfy chair torture.

Or maybe sending you...to Detroit!

Whose jobs? Nobody has a right to be given a job by another person. You, me, Romney or anyone else, even Obama, has a perfect right to invest their money anywhere in the world if they want, just like we all have the right to buy a set of dishes made in Taiwan or an automobile made in Germany. Yes I am an American patriot. I reject your idea that you have a right to control how I spend my hard earned money. Don't tread on me.

I am Italian-American, and a hell of a brawler. It takes more than Detroit to scare me!:D

Meth fiends in Washington State scare me more.

Do what you want, and I will me.

Good day.:salute:

Just don't cry when the Niemoller happens to you.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Don't tread on me.

"Hey, lay off Detroit. Them people is going through Mad Max times."

Nothing a "Flaming Homer *cough* Moe" won't fix.
:D

I should also point out the logical flaw in the assumption that everyone deserves what they earn. If there's no ethical restrictions on how to spend the money, why should there be any on how it's earned? After all, if it's theirs, who cares...

(the real answer is that of course, most of that major investment money is earned by speculation, i.e. not actually earned at all in the first place)

So I don't come home sweaty and covered in dirt every day?

I know how I earn my money, not off the back of others, thats for sure.

Call me what you want, but I work for a living, not read the Wall Street Journal, and "bet" on a companys prosperity.

I work, unlike most. Yet I am still called a socialist demoncrat because I want everyone to have the chance I got. A fair wage, and a shot at the American dream. Despite my poor upbringing, I am a homeowner. Because I was given a chance.

I dont think that they have to be an American Muslim in order to not be unreasonable we just hear about the bad ones on the news and therefore assume that they all feel they way if they come form X place.There are some very Zionist Jews in the US and Israel but most people do not assume that every Jew is a hard core Zionist or at least I don't.

There are good people and bad people everywhere the bad ones want you to see everyone of their kind the same way.

The thing that we forget in America is that we have freedom of the press and a huge amount of media sources to get information from.In some countries the government has the final say meaning anything that they see on TV or hear on the radio or read in a news paper it was approved by the government.
They dont fathom what that anyone can pump out what ever they want and our government doe not really care and has no desire to approve anything.

When the "crazy" ones hear about something another "crazy" has made they flip out because they assume that the US government surely must have sanctioned it.These people don't get any real education either so it should not be very surprising that they would trust a persons word especially if they are a religious leader.

I bet a pristine 1905 nickel that 99% of the guys protesting/rioting never even saw that movie and a good portion of them are also teenage and early 20's young men just looking for a reason to tear ass around they even said on the news that in Egypt they could hear the crowd yelling out football (soccer) chants.

Your Iranian co-worker is most likely either a Persian or a Lur not an Arab.If he is a Lur especially he will naturally have a fairly lax view about religion I'm half Lur myself on my mothers side and not a single family member is a big fan of organized religion they are either christian or muslim but mildly so. I have one cousin that is heavy into the crazy Pentecostal only praying heals illness though.


Myself I read both the bible and the koran(a translated copy) during basic training mostly out boredom I found both to be both equally entertaining and contradictory and I already knew real right from wrong so they did not teach me anything there either.I think it is funny when people truly believe that a burning bush spoke to a man and Mohammad sounds like perhaps he was
maybe a paranoid sycophantic he wanted to strike down the heathens and their false idols yet then he wants to pray towards a freaking rock they did not have psychotropic drugs back then sadly anyway I'm sure that he meant well.Then you have the Jews and muslims in love with same rock only not the same one that has the bling ass box around it and you are not required to pray towards it but you are supposed to kill the other dude that loves it because your cousins or something so they put a bling ass golden dome on top of it.

I am not insulting god Im just saying that people use the claim of his divine inspiration to control people by making thm fear that if they do not follow X way they go to hell but how can man know such things when he reads something written by another man.

I kinda chopped your post up. Pardon. Makes a good jumping off point.!

I agree most of them barely know what a TV is and did not see it, but were incited by local clerics. Using "suitable beliefs."

I also read the Quran, more out of curiosity, and see alot of passages related to Jihad, yet see alot of passages leading to judging people on their intentions.

They even acknowledge Jesus (esau) as a prophet, Abraham (IBRAHIM) is one of their biggest prophets, second only to Muhammad. Amazing they hate the Jews so much... They really are almost the same, except it is easier to become Muslim than jew.

Silly really, IMHO.

They are both semitic people.

As a religion Islam is not evil.

But the morons who do all the "interpreting" are stuck in the crusades.

Even Salahudin was tolerant (after he kicked our asses back to europe), and shared with the Christians. What is wrong with these guys?



I know, but I will spare you my rants.

My point of this post is that they are not evil people, as our government and media implies. (EDIT: more misguided, due to religious authorities dictating what goes, and doesn't)

Yeah Stealhead, he calls himself Persian. Good call.:)

Oh dear, some people are being reasonble. I can't see that lasting
How long till skybrd says all those muslims you are talking about are not real muslims and the hardcore jihadi passages are the only ones to follow while the only version of sharia is the one him and the taliban say it is?

The answer is out there, what this topic needs is some....

It's a good thing not everyone is stupid enough to believe that.

Sure I call em Muzzies sometimes, but they are just people. Sure I mock their extremists, but they do not have differing media sites.

You read Fox, I read MSNBC (news sewers, I know) 2 skews of the same story, but I know I can crossover to another source, they have one source. What some mullah/imam tells them.

I can understand their jealousy and hatred, but that is up to them to change, not us, or anyone else.

Our will and wants is not absolute, NATO/UN is not god. (its a joke)
