gbnimo: its time for the american muslims to go back where they came from and try to civilize their animal brethren


Anyway does ANYONE have any info whether or not we give any economic aid to syria? come join me in lobby1 :)

my current debate:

shoey88: in order to make the middle-east more peaceful and stable, they need to have better government, that means we must get rid of some of the governmemts now in place, it isn't logical to start from the hardest and work our way down, it makes sense to start at the easiest and work our way up, Iraq was the weakest, Syria is the next weakest

Suzi: shoey what kind of goverments do you THINK the ppl in the mid east want?

shoey88: and that is what is taking place

shoey88: everyone everwhere want freedom and prosperity

Suzi: you really think so shoey?

Suzi: shoey do you know which party that won the algerian elections?

shoey88: i have seen this to be true, i have traveled to many different countries, and ppl everywhere want the same basic things

shoey88: you may invalidate me any way u want, the truth of what i say goes on

Suzi: shoey do you have ANYTHING that would proves your point

Suzi: i mean in algeria the islamic party won

Suzi: so we support the current "western" dictators

shoey88: what is going on in the world right now proves my point, putting forth specific details only allows u to deny them, this place is not a battle of facts, it's a battle of ideas

Suzi: shoey i take that as you have nothing

shoey88: i have everything, i need nothing

Suzi: ookey


This in a politic chatroom

4. Personally I don't know why you subject yourself to such things
maybe a little bit of a masochistic tendency showing itself in you?

Well, if your blood pressure can handle it, and you don't mind practicing writing things that may as well have never been read because your target audience is ignoring you, and you are enjoying yourself, then have at it.

BTW, I like the Hiroshi image. I like the new Star Trek. Most Star Trek fans I know stopped watching because of Voyager. I'm not a fan, but it's nice to have Star Trek on, and every now and then I look up from whatever I'm doing, and something sci-fi is happening. All is at peace in the world for that moment.

6. Ganging up
Well, not to knock you or anything, but people who inhabit chat rooms tend to be more immature, either because of age and naievete, or because they are emotionally or socially retarded (note, this is opinion from observation and not wholly all encompassing). I used to do the chat room circuit when I was younger, that is until I was usually the oldest person when an A/S/L check was called. And frequently I was ganged up upon. This is mostly because chat rooms allow for the more quick yet thoughtless reactions to be expressed, and the slower and more carefully thought out statements are lost in the morass of fluff.

And they are in just about every state. I've especially had a problem where my D&D group that I had been gaming with for several years ganged up on my over the Clinton Impeachment hypocrisy. The same people who I considered freinds for so long, treated me as stupid and lower than dirt just because I disagreed with them about politics!

Sorry, I just have a few battle scars that still ache with pain.

9. I used to post on Excite
but any general chat room is full of Republitrolls.

For absolute stupidity, you should check out mtv.com message boards.
