i'm sure a plantation owner knew slaves better than me too. doesn't mean he wasn't a bigot.

saddam was kind of like a plantation owner now that you mention it

good thing the US invaded and took him out of power to "free the slaves"

1/17/2007 11:25:37 AM

considering this has nothing to do with my religious or political or otherwise any beleives...its just a fact. So this really doesn't make me a bigot. Am i mistaken to call a people who are known to over throw their leaders and always resort to viloence and otherwise animal like behavior...and are now in total anarchy and caos animals?

1/17/2007 12:07:39 PM

no, but sarijoul would be happy to call US soldiers madmen or something much worse...just dont insult the Iraqis!!

1/17/2007 12:09:08 PM

when have i ever said that?

i'm against generalizing an entire population of people.

i'll say this, the one iraqi i know well is one of the highest-paid and most respected profs at ncsu. so is he an animal?

1/17/2007 12:37:31 PM

^^no not at all. republicans chose to bind themselves over some sort of agreement in beliefs. i think it would be fair to generalize those beliefs in some contexts. saying all republicans are dumb would be unfair. saying republicans generally believe in a strong defense i think is fair. calling an entire country animals is not fair.

This isn't about me being close minded you worthless troll.

1/17/2007 12:39:29 PM

Considering I just came back from the region and that is the general opinion on the news. Also, even well before the war or before Bush even knew where Iraq was on the map....this was still the same opinion.

and i'm starting to wonder why you always bring in my 'parents' and other 'family' members into your posts....did you grow up without a family or something and are jealous? :shrug:

no i'm saying one can make some reasonable generalizations about people who choose to align themselves together. many iraqis didn't choose to be in the current bind they're in. and even if they did, it wouldn't justify them being lumped as all being "animals" as you have done.

here's an example:

members of al qaeda believe in using violence to further their cause and spread terror. i think this generalization is fair. and it is about people who choose to align themselves with this group.

i would not say that all muslims or arabs or whatever believe in using violence to further their cause and spread terror, because it is not true.

maybe if you werent so caught up in wording and political correctness you would realize that the iraqi people who choose to align themselves together and kill thousands and thousands of people can be reasonably generalized as animals

but rather than even ADDRESS that there are murderous animals out there, you would rather nitpick the wording because then you can ignore the animal sector of the iraqi population

^^i am just pointing out what makes them animals. You could have thought i called them animals because they eat off the floor and hunt each other down for food.

OR

because of their caveman like behavior where no law governs them and they roam freely killing anyone that opposes their opinion.

you actually bring up an interesting point Golovko...im sure we could all agree that there are some good and bad apples in every group of people, especially a large group like a country's population

i would say iraq has a lot more bad apples than some other groups, basing this opinion off the tens of thousands they have killed in the last few years

but if you think iraq was better with saddam in power, was it because he could "tame the animals"...that would mean they are animals

yet if iraq is better now, like i've been saying all along, then i guess iraqis are not all animals

1/17/2007 12:59:33 PM

^^are you serious? I forgot...the caos is only happening in a tiny small burrow in a insignificant part of Iraq. the rest of Iraq is like a mini-america already!
