What spunkloaf is sick of.

[spunkloaf]

I'd consider hugging you if you didn't have the Technicolor ponies for an avatar.

 

I kid, I kid.  Thanks Conley.

I have much to learn from your kindness to all people.

Hahaha, yeah I am in need of a new avatar 

Yeah.  My "Taliban-Sickle-Swinger" avatar isn't doing me justice...actually, it is a very harmless man vaguely dressed as some sort of middle-eastern farmer, dramatically and violently cutting his crop.

I put it up to show people how afraid they are of ALL middle-easterners, and ultimately how dumb that fear is.

If people pay attention to the style of clothing the guy wears, they might find that it doesn't fit the style description of anybody in the world.  It is purely visual and psychological.

It is album art from one of my favorite bands, Depeche Mode.

Aaaaaaah. I had no idea what your avatar was. I didn't get sickle, I didn't get Taliban...I thought it was some guy from Street Fighter or something. People in this country use sickles too, but ignorami probably call them communistas!

I'm glad you didn't see it that way then.  It means you don't judge by appearances. 

[they call me MR. GRUMPY god damn it!]

spunk, you are anti-american and you can afford to be so long as others secure your freedom and pay your bills

[spunkloaf]

spunk, you are ALL American.

Thanks grumpy!

I'm glad I started this thread.  I started to feel like this shit was going un-noticed.

Sorry to be so angry with my initial post.  It's probably understandable.

Obviously, no one here thought this looked like a Middle Easterner. Do you really believe that Americans fear all Middle Easterners?

Secondly, Depeche Mode is as gay as their name would suggest.

I think I have Palestinians a couple houses down. I saw one of their daughters wearing some PLO shirt. I think it said One God, One Land, One People. I have my eye on her. The last thing I need is to have this crazy Arab detonate herself when I'm vulnerable. You never know with these people.

Ok.  And how does their name suggest it?

It's just gay, man. Don't get defensive.

I have a friend whose parents are Muslim, they are from Palestine. He does not practice religion but says his parents hate christians and especially Americans, even though they have lived here for many years and prospered. He loves his parents but hates their views. He told me that they pray for the terrorists. I think that is awful. Why do these people live here if they hate us and this country so much. Who forced them?

Huh?  That sounds ridiculous.

Homophobia does not become you.

It does. He disagrees with them of coarse. When the desert storm war was on I used to go to lunch with him as he was afraid. People treated him poorly but not me. I knew him for a long time and knew he was a good person. I don't judge a person by race or sex. He was and still is a good person. Since then his mother has passed away and he has developed MS.

Phrases such as “unpatriotic” and “un-American” have been thrown around too loosely. If one is against the war in Iraq, one is un-American. If one doesn’t wear a plastic flag pin, one is unpatriotic. When will it end?

And to conservatives, anyone who doesn’t believe in what they believe is unpatriotic and un-American, as well. I am a democratic socialist. Does that mean I do not love my country? I would not want to live anywhere else in the world. But wait! He’s a socialist, therefore unpatriotic and un-American.

Oi. 

Just the same as if a Conservative doest care for Obama he/she is racist....you calling the kettle black. 

Conservative dont care for illegals getting a free ride..on our dime.

Conservatives dont like when people attack us on our own soil and want to severely punish anyone who does and show the rest of the world we wont take any s*#t off anyone.

Conservatives dont like disrespect punk kids who havent accomplisghed anything in the world telling people who have they are out of touch.

Conservatives dont like lazy ass career welfare recipents eating our tax dollars year after year.

Conservatives dont like funding the failed democratic social reform agendas.

Conservative dont like paying 4.60 a gallon for gas when we can drill for oil.  Furthermore, conservatives dont like biofuels because they require way to much crop for the fuel. Democratic waste.

I agree that politics have gone south in this country, but we are still the greatest country in the world even though we have some seriously wacked out liberals pushing their agendas.  We have to come together, but we cannot because everyone is out for themselves......

I don't doubt that Coulter, Hannity, O'Reilly etc. say these things. They are the mouth piece for the right just as the Moore, Franken, etc. are the mouth piece for the left. So it does come from both sides in various forms. We've all heard the term "warmongering" for years. That is just as asinine don't you agree? Remember, all of the above have made good money doing just this. No need to be offended by it.
