Shiite shrine blown up

How can you think that that would be a good thing?

Survival of the species. We learn things from our experiences (or the experiences of others), and we learn what causes us danger/harm. It's what tells the deer to run at the sight of a human these days.

Deer don't need to run in a nature reserve.

 

Bizarre miscellanea: the fish have learnt where the boundaries of the coral preserves are in developing countries, like Indonesia and the Philippines, where poachers use dynamite to trap tropical fish ...

I always find myself looking at Arabs or Muslims these days where as I used to just ignore them (like everyone else) but it's like your eye gets drawn to them automatically just to check if they are upto something.

 

Not sure if thats a good or bad thing to be honest.

I think that of nearly everyone.

It's never a good thing to have to be checking over your shoulder. Yes, it's survival of the species and all that jazz....but it's not a good thing. Either it's not good because you're stereotyping a race, or it's not good because there is a threat, and being threatened is never good.

I haven't read a single post (well, apart from Jimmy's, above, but that was because I couldn't avoid it when writing this fast reply) but I just wanted to say that, tic tac, I bet you've been waiting for months to be able to write that caption.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Oh please Meta save us your usual 'intelectual' deduction because your writing nonsense, and you would bet wrong because for me or anybody to be waiting for months to write and post something is quite absurd, don't you think?

 

 

on topic: more violence

[metadigital]

No.

[tic tac]

Then you and me quite differ in terms of perception regarding this issue.

[metadigital]

Quite possibly. I was not waiting months to post a topic with the subtitle shi'ite. Nope. Nuh ah.

Your information page says you only joined two days ago. How would you know what Meta's usual style is?

Well duh? Because hes an alt of course!

 

 

 

And as always, religious conflicts always bring the most gruesome violence because its combatants tend to see their enemy not only as a political enemy but as religious enemy(great satan etc.) that is not human and can thus be righteously treated with inuhman cruelty.

Like it was the case 600 000 years ago.

They're retards.

Catholics and Protestants in the sixteenth century? Beruit was destroyed in a week by various sects in the 70s

 

Still happening in Ireland... Just taking the children to school became a danger there because the other "religion" would happily kill the kids. <_<

No kidding. I just wanted him to admit it.

The Ardoyne school protests were quite unusual in their intensity, even for Northern Ireland. People who've seen thirty-odd years of the Troubles were shocked by this. However, even something as extreme as this doesn't inevitably escalate into ever-wider conflict, and I hope this is the case in Iraq as well.

That sort of thing tends to polorise people even more. It makes some more moderate and some more fanatical. I'm sure the idea of blowing up mosques of what ever sect is pretty sickening to a lot of muslims.

 

All in all though I'd rather be in Ireland than Iraq.

Of course Steve is alluding the same thing in an indirect polite way, not certainly in a blunt agressive way most ppl would, that's why Steve is one of my favourite members here

[Walsingham]

Haven't time to comment in detail. I'd just like to express my sorrow that the bastards have been able to destroy such an important site. Perhaps this will show just how narrow the Islamist church is.

Live it to the Republicans to drag us into another Vietnam/Korea. If there is civil war I hope Bushie does the smart thing and pull our troops out of there. If the Kurds, Shiites, and Sunnis want to kill each other I say let them.

He did right in Afganistan till he decided to invade Iraq.

If he did right in Afghanistan then Osama wouldn't have escaped during ops at Tora Bora where instead of sending in SF he let the Northern Alliance handle the chase....

 

*Did right attempt failed*

[astr0creep]

I'm still waiting... <_<

[tic tac]

You'll die waiting then....

When he invades Canada...

[Atreides]

I lol'd when my Toreador said "Good luck in Canada" when Ash said he'd run away to someplace nobody would ever see his face again after I'd rescued him from the Society of Leopold.
