Re: (To ALL) this board... Posted By: MACK! In Response To: Re: (To ALL)
this board... (Magnus) : I understand why you react like this, yet I don´t react Hi Magnus,
I don't have any hatred toward them.
My post didn't say that at all. It said that I like to treat everyone
the way I would want to be treated. I like to treat people in a loving
way, and usually if they are just being rude or ignorant, they come to
terms with that themselves when I respond with kindness, and generosity.
Most of the time this works.
But if they make it clear that they do not want to discuss anything,
they simply want to kill me or the people I care about,then I am not going
to let them do that. And I am not going to wait for them to act on it a
second time. I am going to act decisively to eliminate that threat.
It has nothing to do with hatred on my part. If someone wants to hate me, or my family, or my country, or may way of
life, they are welcome to. I'm not going to hate them back. But if they
make it clear that they are going to physically threaten any of those
things, then I am going to thoroughly eliminate that threat.
Up until that point, maybe there are some complicated issues that we
can discuss. We can talk about things. I can consider what you feel are
injustices, your tough childhood, or how your frustration made you angry.
But once it reaches the point that you have decided to kill me no
matter what, that you have dedicated your life to kill me, that you will
try to kill me as long as you live, and that you will even give your own
life just to kill me too, then I am not going to let you do that.
: a waste of life. People spending their entire lives Well, I don't think that you are going to break the pattern of thought
of THIS group of people. Because their actions aren't driven by THINKING.
This is not a philosophical, rational idealogy that they are relying on.
They are driven by a mad sense of religious ferver, that tells them that
our way of living is a blasphemy to thier god. Capitalism, freedom of
speech, freedom of thought, separation of church and state... these are
decadent things from thier perspective. If you can think of a way to
change thier mind, be my guest.
And I don't think that they think that we "don't give a crap about
them" because we have given them MILLIONS of dollars. I think it was 35
MILLION to the Taliban just last month to help them with the drug war. And
we gave them a HUGE amount of weapons and money, and military training to
help them defend themselves when the Soviet Union was trying to invade
them. They took the money when we offered it. They took our help then. The
CIA trained Ben Laden and his men to help them from being invaded by
Communism.
So it is true, several of our policies in the past, have come back to
bite us in the ass. And we should take proper measures to try to refine
those kind of decisions. We should try to have better foreign policy. We
should try to make sure our decisions do not make more people hate us. It
seems that when we try to help one group, another group hates us. And when
we help that group, then someone else decides to hate us. And it would be
nice to be able to sort that out. But we also need to stop this immediate
threat. At this stage, that is the priority. Now is not the time to whine
about our past failures.
I also know that there is a huge difference ------ Messages In This Thread ------
