Spain Bombing

[Kenshin]

Anyway, I read that Spain's new PM may pull troops out of Iraq.

As if APPEASEMENT will work against terrorists.

This isn't about appeasement.

The spanish people didn't want to join the war in the first place, it was a decision their government made. The new PM is just doing what the people WANT.

I'm sure it would have happened whether they got bombed or not, but now it's only an issue because of the bombing. (And all the conservatives are gonna start spain-bashing because of it.)

No, the conservatists in Spain were leading in polls up until this happened. I'm sure the rationalization is that the people were angry at a supposed attempt at covering-up the bombing by blaming Basque separtists. But we all know the political shift happened because the Spanish are pussies, and want to expel any hint of alliance to the US.

No. We have no reason they are not dangerous by group. The Muslims clearly are. Why do you think airports use profiling? On top of that, blacks, and likely some Jews, fought for our independence. They have earned their right to be here.

funny- this statement shows how truly ignorant you are.

Jews in the US fighting against the british for independence? Maybe 1 or 2.

A majority of the slaves that were brought to this country were Muslim, something that is mostly downplayed but now Harvard's African American studies department is really shedding light on this and most other Universities are catching on. So considering how much slave labor boosted this country's development, one could argue that Muslims had a significant role in building this country.

Most people nowadays, such as yourself, are just a cookie cutter image of your forefathers- ones who wanted to put Japanese people in detention camps some years ago, ones that rallied behind McCarthy to get rid of Russians, and so called "pioneers" that comittied genocide against the native americans because they were "savages". Time has shown how idiotic these crusades were, and it's sad to see things haven't changed much.

Meh, I wouldn't worry too much about Yoshi.

He just says shit like that to be provocative.

Don't take it seriously -- it's not worth your time.

[DarkCrow676]

no, people hate America because we rule and they dont.

No people hate America because we are arrogant. I understand why people hate us and it's not because our country is "better", cause in ways we are, but a little modesty about it wouldn't kill us, arrogance is killing us.

No, no. Pretty sure the hate stems from our awesomeness. We're so awesome that some guy over in Iraq totally kicked his mother's head off.

I just tell 'em - don't hate the player, hate the game.

Oh, i see.

I don't usually jump in these kind of discussions anyways, just do it for entertainment sometimes.

[Calliander]

Yeah, well, you started the thread that begat the Circuit Board, so all is good.

Just take it in stride and say things to piss off people of your fellow association - for instance, I'm a liberal, so I say things to piss liberals off. Like making fun of France. Because, for some reason, liberals love France and their hairy armpits.

Or perhaps they just want to distance themselves from this horrible fiasco of a "war" they were pressured into?

[Gohron]

Does this new Socialist government mean the government will control what the press says like in France and Belgium? I guess Spain will be telling their people some extremely crazy stuff about the US now.
