Mike 11:11pm, September 11, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | Three debatable subjects? Alright...
"This isn´t about politics, this is this is about the men and women who died aboard those jets and in those buildings at the hands of the cowardly terrorists in the first attack of their jihad."
Some of the 3,000+ were enlisted men and women, and the pentagon is a legit military target. But to use airliners as missles, to put civilians directly in the line of fire is a cowardly tactic.
"For the Americans, I´d like to ask you to reflect on how the country pulled together in the days and weeks after the attacks. Recall how the terrorists that intended to seperate, to break us but brought us together. How the the racial and social boundries were erased."
Given, this did not happen 100%. It is simply impossible. Of course not. But for majority, where I lived, it happened. Everyone was going out of their way to help everyone else
"http://www.politicsandprotest.org/"
Pro-Govt, pro-American views. We all know how you can´t stand that Jek. I miss anything?

| what the hell |
Jon 2:29am, September 12, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | What the hell? Why can´t people just reflect and not be assholes! |
| Because we have to blow shit out of proportion. |
JekNado 3:03am, September 12, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | Alright. Firt of all, 9-11 was tragic. It´s a shame that so many people lost their lives because of it. The only thing is, we brought it on ourselves. When russia was fighting parts of the middle east during the coldwar, we decided to help the poor afghan freedom fighters defeat communism. We gave them SAM launchers, m16´s and a whole mess of shit to take down the evil communist threat. Then desert storm happened. We imposed embargo´s on their people, bombed their villages and starved them to death. Do you think they just may get angry at some point and attack?
Yes it was cowardly. Yes it was low. The loss of human life is always terrible. But now, after all the teary eyed drama that´s happened, everyone´s gonna get together, support a pro-war stance, and bomb the living fuck out of whatever´s left of the middle east. More people are going to die. A whole fucking lot more then those on september 11th.
So down with me and up with love and peace. I am for love and peace. I´m for the preservation of human life. I´m not a patriot and wave your fucking flag like another mindless waste. "Oh boo hoo, we lost loved ones and family! What´s that?The middle east? FUCKING NUKE THEM!" Your patriotism breeds hatred and violence that´s 20 times more devastating then the event that happened here. And if you pull the "defending our country" argument, just realize that defence would be applied here. Walking into the middle east and bombing everything is an offensive action. Pure revenge.
Yes it was wrong. Yes it was horrible. We brought it on ourselves, we´re out for revenge, and like Zon realized one day, our pathetic race is going to end up wiping itself from existance because of it.
Oh by the way. I think I´ve finally gived into this capitalism thing. I´m selling patriotic, oil soaked rags with the american flag on them. 20 bucks a pop. Profiting off the sorrow and ignorance of others. I guess I really am a true American!
I hope my "ignorant rant" satisfied the blind machine. |

Mike 3:19am, September 12, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | My mistake, Jek has a point. For starters, I support the action in Afghanistan, just if I had been born over a half century earlier, I would have supported the action against Germany in Europe. I support the idea of rooting out violent radicals, and attempting to establish freedom, then trying to maintain peace. As for Iraq, Jek is aboslutely, 100% right. Bush is taking it too far. Iraq, at the most, is a regional threat. There is no solid evidence to point to him and say he´s a security risk to our nation. But once again, Jek is off. We do not intentionally target civilians. We could drop multiple dumb bombs for every ´smart´ bomb dropped. We use precision guided weapons to attempt to avoid civilian casualties. But when you look at the tonage dropped, it is impossible to avoid them complete. We could send in ground troops. But when it comes to fighting urban warfare, you put just as many, if not more people at risk.
I also support the action in Desert Storm. The invasion of Kuwait, the way Saddam starved their people... The embargos prevent it from happening again. As for Afghanistan, yes it was wrong to give them support. 20/20 hind sight though. Things are more clear when a nation does not have it´s whole nuclear arsenal aimed at yours. Also, Russian was an enemy. In Vietnam, do you think the NVA built their Migs alone? Do you think they mass produced all their AK-47s? [/rant]

FALCON X-0N 10:10am, September 12, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | Personally, I think everything that needs to be said has been said. But I just want to address one last one...September 11th, 2001 brought people from all around the North American Continent together to come to ground zero to help survivors. People came from Nova Scotia (god damn I mangled that spelling didn´t I?) to help people. Humanity acted out of love and good and peace for it´s fellow man.
September 12th, 2001, all America banded together in blood lust. There goes that idea.
Aside from my useless views about humanity (we so do not deserve to be alive), political wise there is one thing that needs to be addressed: the fact that the Bush Administration is completely ignoring the fact that we ever had anything to do with it. The fact that the US Public is ignoring the fact that, as Jek put it, we ´bought´ it. I know for a fact that my god damned US History class has absolutely no concept of addressing the underlaying causes of terrorism. And Sheriff Retard in the White House wont even attempt to comprehend it. I´ve spent the last year really and truly preeching Peace and Love, and all I found were deaf ears, and people actively opposing a Peaceful World. The "Nuke the Whales?" "Gotta nuke sum´thin" Mentality.
Which leads me to my rant!
[rant]Jek said how one day I realized our species is going to wipe itself out. Not true. One day, I realized how it´s probably a good idea for our species to wipe itself out. Every Pro-War, Pro-Death stance, the fact that it´s the overwhelming majority, the fact that 95% of the people I have talked to in the past year couldn´t even comprehend the idea of doing anything other than having the US BEAT THE FUCK out of the world until the world is under our thumb...I´ve lost my faith in humanity. We´re never going to be better. There has never been a time in human history where the good sentements outweighed the bad. An individual can do good for the sake of good, but we, as a species, not only do not, but we are incappable of this action. We can only hurt and kill. Great, peacefull civilizations have prospered for centuries by treating everyone else like sub-human beings that need to be killed or enslaved. We hurt our planet and it´s environment. We´re trash and Garbage with a genetic predisposition to causing pain and suffering to anyone and anything we come across. We like to think that we´ve grown more civilized throughout our existance, but we have really just gotten new, bigger ways to Kill. Every "Age" in humanity is caused when we discover a new way to make weapons(Bronze Age to the Atomic Age). And right now, the Americans have the same Thirst for Blood that the Greeks had while they sailed for Troy. [/rant]
This time last year, those Nova Scotians were working alongside every race and creed at Ground Zero.
This time year, we´ll probably be moving on to bomb Iran. |

Mike 7:40pm, September 12, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | I got my money on Korea Zon... It´s gonna take another Vietnam to wake people up. No, I didn´t miss the point, I´ll just respond to that later today. Also, I´m not so blind as to say we´re not fucked up, but there´s so much debate on the horrors without opposite views. I try to learn both sides to find the middle ground, the truth. Or some shit like that. Caffine time. |

JekNado 7:45pm, September 12, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | "In Vietnam, do you think the NVA built their Migs alone? Do you think they mass produced all their AK-47s?"
Vietnam was a chance for america to prove they had a big dick and interfere with affairs of other countries. We had the impression that we were invincible and sent troops to help stop the invasion of terrorism. There was no direct threat to the US. So we got our asses kicked, pulled out, then Nam became a full communist country.
Now a year has passed since we were bombed. Our "patriotism" has everyone believing we should head over to the middle east and kick ass.Unlike vietnam, the public has been correctly brainwashed by the government this time. No hippies to protest war and preserve life. All they have to worry about are a few punks and they´re too minor a group right now to make a difference. Besides, if you don´t support it, your an evil anti-american, like many of you label me. This bombing was the best thing the government could have had happen to them. Now they can kill whoever the fuck they want over there, ship our people over, let them get killed, and everyone will back it up, "For the preservation of America and our way of life." Didn´t Johnson say something along those lines?

Pog 11:51pm, September 12, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | Vietnam was caused when the NVA forced france out of their "colony" and they had the UN sent in for help. adly, UN is just a way for the US to play world leader and it was mainly our troops that were sent over there. People support this what happened after 9/11 just like they supported Pearl Harbor. they;re both the same only the japanese hit the pacific fleet, not innocent civilians, the japs even gave warning of the attack. America has always been pig headed and trigger happy. When our country started, they fought to get the english off their backs in the revolutionary war and then again in the war of 1812 i think it was. They slaughtered Indians whole sale, sadly, just so they could have their land. Yea, our countries fucked up, we´re international rednecks walking around with our shotguns, but this country was founded on the idea that everyone is equal, there is no ruling class, royalty or someone who is head muckity-muck of the USA. You really hate the president and the liars in the senate? Vote ´em out, the constitution states you can. Enjoy the rights we have, because not many other countries have them.

BoBo The Cobalt Blue Dishwashing Monkey 1:29am, September 13, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | Just as the United States has stuck it´s dick into the grinder over and over again in conflicts to move against the actions of Communition or other things they felt publicly wrong and injust, there have been groups of people who have said the United States was wrong in it´s action to interfere. For ever one person in the United States, there is another who will hold the exact oposite opinion, reguardless of what the starting topic was. Just like there will be a probable third person commanding the universe to follow what they somehow "know" another persons opinion will be, even if they´re completely wrong. So, Though this comment won´t end this I hope it opens some doorsways so this arguement isn´t meaningless.
Oh, and while we´re in this topic we can´t forget all the other faces to this problem. The United States doesn´t just survive by waving a sword or a weapon or sorts around. The Unite States survives by a balance of economics and other issues. Just as other countries around the world hear news and express opinions of what we do we end up echoing nearly the same style of thinking here. We could not fully survive as a super power nation without relying upon neighboring nations for resources, supplies(economic trade), and political support, along with many other things.
NOT EVERYONE, thinks we should bomb the shit out of Iraq. If you´re stupid enough to believe EVERYONE wants to bomb the shit out of Iraq than you obviously haven´t notice that Georg W. is following the same tactic his father did when adressing this issue. He´s going to everyone else first and trying to convience them so he can bully Congress and the UN into allowing him to go. Much like his father stationed hundreds of troops over in neighboring countries before he went to Congress & the United Nations to ask for the go ahead.
I´m not saying this covers everything, and I´m not saying I´m right. But before you bitch, you better make sure you know every god damn thing about each topic or you just prove how ignorant you are and how easily you fall into your own paranoias about what´s going on. |
| And another thing... |
BoBo The Cobalt Blue Dishwashing Monkey 1:34am, September 13, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | And another thing, it seems to me Jek that you´ve been appearing a little bit more disgruntle lately(just like alot of other people, *shrugs.). Is everything alright? And is there anyway we, other people of this chat whom have to listen to you, can do to help?(And yes we do, because it´s like sitting in a car with a back seat driver. no matter how hard you try to ignore them they´re still there bitching.) |

Anonymous 3:12am, September 13, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | you guys worry about this way too much, it really isn´t a thing that has to be debated, and nothing really has to be said, just as long as people realize that hate gets us nowhere, personally i don´t care how many bullets a Middle Easter Sum Machine Gun carries and where it was manufactured, and what mistakes who made, it´s all pointless to me, debating the past will get you nowhere, just take a minute to remember, and then carry on. |

Jon 3:49am, September 13, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | If you don´t like the country´s leaders vote them out of office. And If you don´t want any part of the war, stay the hell outta the forces. Thats all I got to say. |
| Voting... |
FALCON X-0N 9:52am, September 13, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | Voting became real useless thanks to Florida.
Likewise, you can only stay out of the forces until they send a draft. Personally, I think we have enough "KILL´EM ALL!"´s to go for years before there´s a draft.

JekNado 4:45am, September 14, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | Doesn´t it make everyone feel good that we have people like Jace defending our country?
First off, I don´t seem to know you Bobo. I´d like to talk to you some time and find out why you have so many opinions....oh wait..your hiding behind a fake name, my bad.
I don´t see what´s so hard to understand. Killing and murder is wrong. The government has not the authority to tell you when it´s allowed or not. No one does. I may sound like a bible hugger, but there´s only one person who can take life and the murderers will recieve their final fate.
But everyone has excuses. Sometimes it´s wrong to do this, sometimes it´s right to do that. There´s no exceptions. Right is right and wrong is wrong.
Murder is always murder, no matter who´s doing it for what reason. Everyone worries about the present and not the future. I know I sound like a nut, but that´s what I believe.
My luck, we´re probably going to get into a big religion debate now.....oh, and that´s all I need to know.

Impersonating Kenshin 8:01am, September 14, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] |
I don´t want to beat a dead horse, but it often takes me awhile to digest these kind of things. As a part of my fathers job he commutes to the Pentagon and on September 11th I spent about six hours convinced that he might be dead. We couldn´t get through to his cell no matter how hard we tried, my sister just about had a nervous breakdown. Turns out the old bastard was playing golf with his brothers and he couldn´t get through to us because cell phone traffic was so insanely crazy on that day. Either way what I really wanted to say was this, talking about 9/11 is all well and good but people tend to forget...this a Star Wars chatroom message board. A FREAKING STAR WARS CHATROOM MESSAGE BOARD!!! Don´t let yourself be drawn into a heated political debate about the single most horrible thing most of us have seen on the same forum where we bash Jar Jar and insanely stupid ideas for RP´s. Chatters should come here to escape reality, not listen to people with a high school understanding of history and world events try to explain what happened and why. |

Bobo The Cobalt Blue Dishwashing Monkey 12:46am, September 16, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | Are you that dumb? So stupid that you can´t see your friends are probably worried about you and how synical you´ve become? So blind with hatred about how your fellow humans kill and murder one another over their own supposed right to power that you can´t see everyone´s saying the same things over and over again? Why mustyou always be right Jek? Why can´t you just stop for a minute and let the world revolve on it´s own axis without needing your moral and all knowing HUMAN, capible of making mistakes and errors, support.

Todd Blackbird 7:20pm, September 16, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | I´m sensing Jek never got out of the " I´m sixteen and angry at my father´ phase, so he trys to blame it on america, well jek, your an asshole, shut the fuck up and suck it up, I´m tired or hearing you saying " Down with the system" and "fuck america". So go bitch about something else, I put up with your shit, and I´m sick of it. |
| Can´t we just chill out? Or at least the sane ones? |
JekNado 7:41pm, September 16, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | As for me acting like I´m always right, I do this to encourage people to post and respond. I find a flaw then explain what´s wrong with it. Yes it pisses people off, but I could care less. It wouldn´t have to happen if everyone would just quit attacking eachother´s personally and just took the topics and ideas into account. Take a look how this thread starts out and just spirals into a hate argument between various people. It could be prevented if people kept their various ego´s in check.
Oh Saint? Hate me. Listen to me complain. Hate every single thing I say. It brings me great joy every time you decide to snap and attack me.
"Are you that dumb?" Most Likely. I don´t have all the answers, no one does. People do have opinions and I like to argue them.
"So stupid that you can´t see your friends are probably worried about you and how synical you´ve become?" My real friends already know I´m synical. They know my beliefs and what I stand for. I may be nuts. Hey, I´m friends with Buzz! He´s nuts too. Birds of a feather man.
"So blind with hatred about how your fellow humans kill and murder one another over their own supposed right to power that you can´t see everyone´s saying the same things over and over again?" Humanities fucked, in my personal opinion. (Maybe I should put that after every single debate topic to prevent stuff like this.) We kill, we get revenge, we kill some more, we invade, we steal land, we kill some more, they kill us and we kill them. It´s never going to end until the wrong country gets attacked and sends it´s nuclear weapons into the wild blue yonder. If we all would just respect eachother and how we deal with things on a human level, we wouldn´t have these problems. But people can´t even act civil in a message board for a roleplaying chat. What hope is there for the world?
"Why mustyou always be right Jek?" Oh, for lots of reasons. Satirical reasons mostly. Imitating someone´s actions is a great way to get them to question their own. If people have doubted what they´ve thought here, then I´ve done my job. Oh, I do it to piss you off too Scott. Your as angry as me. You just vent it differently.
"Why can´t you just stop for a minute and let the world revolve on it´s own axis without needing your moral and all knowing HUMAN, capible of making mistakes and errors, support." The irony of that statement! A human capable of error trying to explain how his race is will destroy himself because of human error! There´s a Catch 22 if I ever saw one.
"Oh, by the way, mr. self important I can bitch about anything. When did your peaching become so much more important than anyone elses that you were allowed to insult anything you wanted?" Mike made a reference to the "resident marines" and I agreed with him. But you only attacked me. (Not a statement to provide pity for myself, only to stae an obvious fact that can be proven by reading "Mike 3:32pm, September 13" This message has been brought to you by the Nado Committee of Dislogic and unreason. Making sure your post are translated to reveal what they Really mean!)
Thank you Scott. Reading through this, I´ve realized that I´m completely and totally nuts. And I´m laughing about it! I don´t know why, but it feels incredible! Jace was right, I am a rebel without a clue. My cause is unknown! So´s my purpose! Thank ya Scotty ol´ boy!!! HAHA!!

Scott 11:39pm, September 16, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | You stand by the thought that everyone´s intitled to their own opinion right?
So how come you attack all the opinions that are given to you in return to your comments as if they were personal insults? |

Impersonating Anton 12:23am, September 17, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | Jek you could have summed that whole thing up in a few words, don´t take this stuff so seriously, and stop giving everyone that "I could care less" statement, if you didn´t are you wouldn´t have posted all those mile long posts , would you ? |
| Because I analyze things too much. |
JekNado 7:13pm, September 17, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | Look at the title of this thread. "Post your ignorant debates." Down with me, oh yes, I´m so horrible because my opinion was different. My first post is filled with anger and tons of sarcasm because, well, I was angry. It happens.
I don´t start trouble until it´s brought to me. Which makes me wonder why your so pissed off Scott. I hadn´t said anything to offend you and I get attacked personally. (Not a statement to provide pity for myself, only to stae an obvious fact.This message has been brought to you by the Nado Committee of Dislogic and unreason. Making sure your post are translated to reveal what they Really mean!) Why do you come in and turn what was a semi decent debate into a bickering argument between us? No one´s allowed to complain until I come in and complain? Is that it? Do you feel that I´m taking away your right to bitch? Not at all! Hell, I can´t stop you. Go on ahead! Bitch! Bitch until your fingers bleed from typing!! Vent that anger!

Scott 12:03am, September 18, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | It took me a moment to think up this one simple post. No, I´m not angry at you. Nor was My intention to turn this into a debate souly about myself and Jek. I can´t really say you did insult me because you didn´t really know the joke in the handle. But it was your choice to move the topic in this direction, questioning the man behind the comment rather than the comment.
So I might as well say I´m sorry and bow out, just so we can do this again later. Because as we all know, these things come in cycles. Although I must say I do find a rather ammusing point on how you can add so much emotional tension to my posts. Just like when we were dealing with the Sword of Plague...
*And just like the disgruntle boxer, he smacks zon, the Ref., around while being pushed back to his corner.*
