No, because that would be trolling.

No, because that would be trolling.
I didn't mean starting threads of that nature, I meant it in the context that Almaci used it. Like, someone says something about Colin Powell and I say, "He's such a stupid nigger."
It's the same thing as what Almaci said.
Burgundy, what's trolling?
amen bro,and one thing tnl really cracks down hard on is trolling ;)Quote:

It isn't the same thing. It's a matter of degree.Quote:

Loads of people bitched about the US invasion of Afghanistan. Not comparable to Iraq, no, but the 'left wing' was all over the Afghanistan invasion.
Doesn't explain the fact that they fucked up on WMDs 3 years after an idiot cowboy took office. Is Clinton responsible for only 1000 new Border Patrol officers being recruited since 9/11? Wasn't the Dept. of Homeland Security supposed to fix the problems with intel? I'm not surprised that it hasn't as just about all of Bush's programs are underfunded or not funded at all.Quote:

To now come here and claim that the rest of the world was being hypocritical defies belief and is as bald faced a lie as they come.
Some people however said terrorism only seems to be a global problem when the US is affected by it and they drew parralels to US government officials supporting IRA, CANF etcetera terrorists in the past.
The US DID have global support both open as well as behind the scenes after 9/11 and Bush and his government squandered it by their idiotic policies wich were counteractive to the extreme.
