The Blackest Day of the World History.

You also claimed I typed/believed "Oh woe is me..."

Next time, please don't take liberties with my words in serious threads.
So you took one instance of "woe is me" and made it a claim for
That is twice (at least) in two posts you have misquoted me.

Boy! That's rich!

And if you don't like my negative tone, I suggest not reading my posts in the future.
So you can post opinions but none can counter with disagreeable views? :1orglaugh


Yeah! You have a good day too McRocket. I'm done here.

cheers,
 
I don't provide defenses or opinions, just considerations not made ...

I am more concerned with the fact that though I was speaking of an event (Rwanda) that had absolutely nothing to do with George W. Bush and Iraq; you saw fit to yet again bring them into this discussion anyway.
Yes, because we've repeated history there too!
As per usual, I find your American political opinions tend to lean to wards looking at things through conservative coloured glasses in general and American rose coloured glasses in particular.
Huh? Did you read what I said? Or assumed what I said?
I was not defending the US, and rather agreeing that we make some very poor judgements and people die as a result.
I was adding some perspectives and considerations that you had clearly not included.
If anything, just take them a "good explanation," not an excuse or defense. Okay? ;)

It is unfortunate that you seem to be guided by this perspective. Whereas I have equal distaste for virtually all mainstream politicians, be they liberal or conservative. (And I consider myself a citizen of Earth first. And a Canadian second.)
I'm neither, and if you would stop to realize that I think like an American Libertarian, not a Liberal or Conservative, you realize that.
I never voted for Clinton or W., and I do not feel any reason to 'defend" either.
In fact, I often take the time to explain their follies, considerations that some people don't know about.
It has little to do with "being a conservative" or "being an American."

If I'm guilty of anything, it's being a "cold blooded capitalist" in how I conduct business.
At the same time, when it comes to helping people with my own money, I'm a bleeding heart, much to the dislike of my wife (who comes from a dirt-poor family).

In fact, I think we had this same conversation in the "Moon Landings were faked" thread where you said I was biased because I'm a former NASA engineer.
I might be just as biased, but all I tried to do was add perspective and consideration, not excuses or defense or something else.

And to that end, "labeling" people hardly does anything for anyone, much less understanding.
Hence I can state my complete disgust for the handling of said Rwandan genocide by the spineless Clinton Administration.
And where did I not FULLY AGREE?
All I did was try to explain much of it, and tie it into the other follies of the American leadership, especially in retrospect as well as futurespect.

As for your opinion as to the reason for the West's lack of action in Rwanda?
I will simply add that if you are right, then it makes their inaction all the more despicable.
Agreed! When did I say otherwise or do we otherwise have a problem?

I think sometimes people -- especially yourself -- don't actually read what I say, and assume I'm answering from the aforementioned and alleged "conservative" standpoint.
If you'd actually read what I'd say, I believe you'd find you agree with me far more than you disagree.

I'm not here to judge, only to point out a perspective that people have not considered.
It is not a defense, just a consideration -- and that's all!

Instead of calling me a "biased" NASA engineer, American and other things, and applying labels so you can "discredit" any consideration of my viewpoint, maybe, just maybe you should sit back and say, "ah, now that's some insight."
Especially on the NASA thread -- that one still has me scratching my head, especially after you (among others) admitted several times you had no idea what I was talking about.

Perspective, experience, consideration -- it's not about "opinions," it's about simply what they are, perspective, experience, consideration.
Don't be so quick to disregard them merely because you don't believe what you are hearing -- in fact, if you open your mind enough, it might just make sense.

You may be right. And if you are and I judged you harshly, I apologize.

You clearly are a very knowledgeable fellow.
However, you also may wish to consider that you may be taking posts on here a wee bit too seriously. After all, this is Freeones - basically a pornchat site.
Just something to take under advisement.

I must type though, you are certainly more refreshing to 'debate' with then that other fellow .

Have a good day Prof.
 
No apology necessary ...

You may be right. And if you are and I judged you harshly, I apologize.
No apology necessary.
I don't take offense, except the offense that someone would not read and understand, for their own benefit.

You clearly are a very knowledgeable fellow.
No I am not. I just know some things, just like other people know some things, and we share them for consideration. That's all.

Maybe I come off "knowledgeable" more because I'm in my 30s, whereas most are in their 20s.
Maybe I also come off "knowledgeable" more because I'm willing to criticize or explain things on all sides of the fence.

Or maybe it's none of that at all.

However, you also may wish to consider that you may be taking posts on here a wee bit too seriously.
After all, this is Freeones - basically a pornchat site. Just something to take under advisement.
Then why post what you did?
Just because it's a pornchat board doesn't mean people are intellectuals and have educated views.

In fact, such an attitude is what I'd expect from a right-winger. ;)
There's no reason to believe anyone should be "discredited" merely because they are on this board.

I must type though, you are certainly more refreshing to 'debate' with then that other fellow .
Have a good day Prof.
All I try to do is explain things people haven't considered, it goes a long way to helping understand things -- especially avoiding repeats of history.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanking_(film)[/url]

a 2007 documentary film about the 1937 Nanking Massacre committed by the Japanese army in the former capital city Nanjing, China.

and i was like... DAMN! there's a lot of evil in this planet.

i often would like to see that some superhero make himself real and beat the shit of everyone evil...
 
Blackest day? December 2nd, 2009; the day this moronic, conspiracy theorist, revisionist-history thread was resurrected.
 
The day My Name is Earl was canceled! :mad:


That's weird, I thought that was the best day in world history


And to be back on topic, I'm pretty sure the blackest event isn't just limited to a day anymore... February anyone? a little thing called Black History MONTH? Why am I the only one that has intelligence here?


I find this thread quite racist too for people thinking it was only limited to a day
 
December 21st 2012.

The day Paris Hilton dies with Rush Limbaugh's sweaty cock stuck down her throat after he's had a fatal stroke and she can free herself from his girth.

It's a shame really..... :(
 

Yes, really. I read through this muck filled swamp of paranoia, and expected to find Charlie Sheen posting about George Bush demolishing the World Trade Center.
 
Wow, that reads terribly:

December 21st 2012.

The day Paris Hilton dies with Rush Limbaugh's sweaty cock stuck down her throat after he's had a fatal stroke and she is unable to free herself from his considerable girth.

It's a shame really..... :(

Still a shitty joke, but at least it's understandable.

:dunno:
 
Yes, really. I read through this muck filled swamp of paranoia, and expected to find Charlie Sheen posting about George Bush demolishing the World Trade Center.

I don't think Will believes it was George Bush. I think he blames it on the Masons.....:1orglaugh
 
Oh, well, in that case, totally agree. Those creepy bastards are evil! :D
