So, it's the liberal's fault we're not safer in the world ::) How so when the neocons have gotten vitually everything they wanted. There are only a few things Bush and company have had to bend on. The bulk of everything else has been their way. Infact Liberals pointed out at the start this would lead to an increase in radical groups and terror attacks. We were of course laughted at. What I see today is exactly where I thougth we would be and it hasn't stopped yet. It will probably get worse. You just keep telling yourself it's because of the evil liberals ::)

Anyone got any equivalent lists for any other religion?
How come a religion which is supposed to be as equally peaceful as other religions (if not more our socialist leaders tell us) get's so much air time for murderous and cowardice atrocities?

Now don't get me wrong. Once again I am not a supporter of Islam. But my opinion on your question is that as far as I know there is no other religion for comparison. When was the last time the US and West declared war on another religion, occupying 2 countries and sword rattling with a third and major Islamic nation, Iran. There are no others where you can line up and compare. I suppose we could do a what if. Let's Imagine if the United States and GB were occupied. The occupying force claiming to be at war with the radical elements of Christianity. Now they're going after another major Christian Nation. Would we see a rise in membership of groups indending on fighting back against this force? Most probably we would not sit on our ass. Again, I do not have all the answers, I never said I did. I'm just one person with an opinion, NOT Mr. Always Right.

Can you or can you not provide a list of Christian/Jewish/Hindu terrorist attacks over the last two months? From what it sounds like you're blaming the US for Islamic extermism.
More spinning by the way. You're getting pretty good at it...not. ::)
-

WHAT THE FUCK ::)
I answered Nordics question with honesty. I stand by my answer. If you don't like it, go fuckyourself :)
I do not blame the US. I blame those behind the policies of the last 8 years. Many of us said these policies would lead to an increase in extremism. I bet it's not hard to dig up opinions on this going way back. That is what I stand by and I have no intention of letting you equate an issue with policy to being anti-American.
-
At least 1/3 of those attacks have nothing to do with Iraq/Afghanistan, dipshit.
Where's the list?
-
Off the top of my head I remember Obama's 2002 speech where these setiments were present as they were also present in much of the progressive movement.
"I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a US occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of al-Qaeda."

I never said there was a list, I never promised a list and I provided rational for why I think you can't. If that's not good enough for you, I have no idea what you want. Big fucking deal 1/3 of the attacks were not on the list. What the fuck does that have to do with it? You cannot reduce this to A+B=C ::) Last I checked and by their words it is a "global war" where Islam has been named on many occations.

Jihadist and islamism has existed from practically the beginning of islam.
Can you provide a rebuttal to this Hugo?
As BerzerkFury said, you might WANT (I'm really starting you desire to blame the US) to blame this on Iraq / Afgan but a lot of these on the list are mutually exclusive.
Strange how the number of attacks was huge pre-Iraq, it only comes to your attention now because anti-Jihadist groups keep updated records of such acts of cowardice.
-

Nope, I can't deny that and would not have attempted to oppose that opinion, nor was it ever my opinion.

If you think that's strange, you might find it even stranger if you actually checked your stats instead up just making shit up ;) Go on, go check and come back with info on how attacks were greater before Iraq ;)

Hey Squire, I didn't say the attacks were greater before Iraq (unless we go back far enough when islam was a dominent force within the middle east). If fact they are probably moderately higher now due to it. I'm just here to tell you jihadist activities existed within US/UK borders and the outside world, pre-Iraq/Afgan.

Hey squire, I'll accept this, but what happens if you remove Iraqi insurgency attacks and Taliban attacks due to Afghan war? Of course in a war zone things are escalated.
After the election, you will see them shoot up again... Remember this post ;)
If I'm wrong I'm wrong pal, I can admit to that.

If I'm wrong I'm wrong pal, I can admit to that.
I believe they're still up but I don't think the war is reason to discount the attacks. We were calulating them into the senerio because of the possible war, before the war. So it's a little odd to hear that they don't count on the "main front" now.
I too am happy to admit if I'm wrong and will do so when proven. I truely believe I'm after truth and have no desire to persue a point on "team menatlity." If in the end I'm wrong, you can call me on it and i'll admit. We all bust some time or another.

I think I am in the middle here. I oppose all religion, especially Islam and I DO think Islamic theology has much to do with giving motivation to Islamic terrorism, however, I also believe that US foreign policy exacerbates the problem manifold; I think these 13th century medievalists should be left to rot in their barren deserts and the West should look after itself without interfering with the affairs of these countries; of course that means that the US needs to stop being the world's policeman/bully and start minding its own business.
In Europe it is a slightly different issue. Secular/Enlightenment values were hard fought for and need to be maintained at all costs; immgration must be radically restricted and those who refuse to integrate and accept Enlightenment values can be sent off to their respective countries; once in those countries, said people (Islamists most likely) should be left to rot.
-
Incidentally the Tamil Tigers, a violent secessionist organisation in Sri Lanka, were the ones who pioneered suicide bombing; they are NOT Muslim.

I don't think there needs to be a technical forgoal of beliefs and customs but when those beliefs, etc. stand in direct opposition to the established, secular, liberal (in the European sense) order and are acted upon, exponents of said beliefs should be shown the door.

The US did 100 years ago. Have you never heard of Henry Ford's "Melting Pot" school? People were taught how to brush their teeth, use a knife and fork, how to assimilate. (It was kind of racist too, but nothing's perfect. ;D) Until recently, most immigrants who came to the US ended up being among the most patriotic citizens.

Obama told voters in Georgia on Tuesday: "Instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English -- they'll learn English -- you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish. You should be thinking about, how can your child become bilingual?"
Rasmussen reports that U.S. voters overwhelmingly disagree with Obama:
Eighty-three percent (83%) place a higher priority on encouraging immigrants to speak English as their primary language. Just 13% take the opposite view and say it is more important for Americans to learn other languages.

It's absolutely WRONG for host countries to cower before immigrants. But you're taking his speech a little out of context. He was saying Americans should learn other languages to compete in today's global business world. In that sense, he's right. Nothing wrong with being educated.
You know, I don't understand when people are going around worrying about, "We need to have English- only." They want to pass a law, "We want English-only."
Now, I agree that immigrants should learn English. I agree with that. But understand this. Instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English -- they'll learn English -- you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish. You should be thinking about, how can your child become bilingual? We should have every child speaking more than one language.
You know, it's embarrassing when Europeans come over here, they all speak English, they speak French, they speak German. And then we go over to Europe, and all we can say [is], "Merci beaucoup." Right?
You know, no, I'm serious about this. We should understand that our young people, if you have a foreign language, that is a powerful tool to get ajob. You are so much more employable. You can be part of international business. So we should be emphasizing foreign languages in our schools from an early age, because children will actually learn a foreign language easier when they're 5, or 6, or 7 than when they're 46, like me.
-
The language of business is English....I understand ur point but thats not all he was saying. He also must have not studied geography as well as history. How easy would it be for us to learn languages if the next foreign language country was right next door. If u live in Mass, and NH speaks german..u'd learn it. If Conn speaks Chech, U'd learn that. Everybody here speaks English....

And yes, I'm starting to highly dislike him. First it was his sickly sweet speeches... now this shit.
P.S. Deedee, still seems like pandering to the Spanish vote to me. It sounds awful to me, even in entire context. English is the langua franca of the business world, so it's a pretty null point.

Yep, I agree with you. Even people who complain that Americans know nothing of foreign news have no idea that the US is so big it's difficult just to keep up with what's going on in the domestic front.
The language of business is still English, but that's slowly changing as more and more people speak several languages. It seemed that what you posted sounded like he was asking the US to bow down to immigrants, and that wasn't really what he was saying. He was just blah blahing anyway... not looking to enact forced bilingualism. You really do hate him. ;D
P.S. Deedee, still seems like pandering to the Spanish vote to me. It sounds awful to me, even in entire context. English is the langua franca of the business world, so it's a pretty null point.
It isn't great... I'm just a stickler for getting quotes right. Also, coming from the UK you probably don't speak any other languages yourself so it seems more threatening. My lousy German and semi decent French have definitely made traveling easier, and got me very decent employment in the US I wouldn't have had otherwise. I'm Canadian.

Dein Deutsch ist doch hevorragend. Du hast auf jeden Fall einen dauerhaften Eindruck bei mir hinterlassen, was dein Deutsch betrifft.

How about I know Norwegian to a degree (especially verbally) and Spanish. How about you stop assuming things?

Sabes que el multilingualismo es importante para la educación y puede abrir los umbrales del empleo. Obama era el intentar justo animar.

OK I agree, but in my opinion he was very specific by mentioning Spanish don't you think?
P.S. impressive, how many languages do you know? :o

Depends on what you mean by know...either quite a few or less...

Well, what can you carry a conversation with?
I don't mean comprehensive knowledge of syntax and such, just being able to speak to a local of a country without saying something weird or stupid.

Good list - I assume you also have some pittance of Korean as well?
As an aside you could communicate with many more. Not sure if you've come across Papameinto, but you would prolly understand it as you would a few other languages of my region too - as the non-indiginous ones are generally based on some blend of Dutch, English, French and Spanish.
-
I speak poor German, Spanish, and Korean....enough Dari and Pashtu..to get the average dirtbag to do what i need him to do. We push the Rosette stone program pretty hard now, and its free for us.

Good list HH6....

If I could speak them. I read German better as I took 2 years in college but unless ur emmersed...u loose it. I got to use some a few months ago when i was there. It came back abit. I have no real aptitude....but my parents were amazing. My mom speaks French, Gaelic and passable Italian. My dad spoke and could write ancient greek, Latin, italian and spoke Thai pretty well.

Icelandic isn't bad to know either; no one understands you and there are only 260,000 Icelanders in the world. I had the fortune to study it, shunning the modern, continental Scandinavian languages as boring.
In order:
1-English, German (Bilingual)
2-French (Fluent)
3-Dutch, Icelandic, Spanish (passable)
4-Italian, Korean (Can get by)
Dead Languages in my repetoire include: Latin, Ancient Greek, Old English, Old Norse and Old and Middle High German, of which I know Latin and Old English the best; the others are rustier.

By 2050 75% of the world will speak English.
We lose 25 different languages per week.
I think it's more like 25 languages a year, :) and those are aboriginal spoken languages disappearing from the mountains of Borneo or the extinction of Tundra people tribes or whatever. French or Italian are probably not in danger anytime soon.

Danke. :D
I wouldn't publicly shame myself by phonetically spelling out anything more. Shoulda stuck it out in German class.

So solly! But since you know other languages, why should it bother you if Americans learn them? :)
There's a difference between hating illegals, and translating that into a xenophobic fear of learning another language.
Besides, considering the state of the economy, not everyone will be able to fulfill a lifelong dream of being a coffee grinder at Starbucks. I know of two people who keep a French version of their web-based businesses and advertise in Europa. That's become a fair percentage of their profits! Also know of a freelance portuguese/spanish speaking web designer who knocked on some doors in SA and across the pond, who's doing very well at that... why shouldn't Americans steal business from Europeans if they can. People who work in communistic creative fields also benefit from the latest news coming from European fashion/art worlds.
The marketplace is changing. Maybe Obama isn't so wrong and knows what challenges 20-year-olds will be facing.

I'm all for learning other languages for education. But he specifically mention Spanish. That is my point.

Good Post Deedster! :)
:) You know, after reading the thread, I'm not sure why you don't sit home and do translation work while you hang in your pee-jays, instead of teaching the "devil spawn" in Korea.

Hmmm... so when you, a Brit, learns Spanish it's benign and furthers your education, but if an American talks about doing so, it's code for a treasonous hope that the US is overrun by Mexicans... even if he also mentions French and German. Got it! ;)
Obama made his statement in Georgia to an 85% black, not hispanic, crowd, and was addressing a girl's question regarding his education policies and her specific mention that she wanted to learn other languages. He told her to get educated. What's wrong with that?
What do you think McCain would have answered... that the only language you need to know to be a patriot and work at Starbucks is English, so forget it?

Fuck it, you obvious don't view it at all from a political angle and believe everything this man says as Gospel truth.
Who he says it to doesn't mean shit, considering it's aired country wide. And I don't give a shit what McCain would have said, we're discussing Obama.

Great answer!!!
Yeah I do see the political aspect... every rightie blogger including Rush immediately slammed out some anti-Hispanic, illegal alien hate column, further alienating any vote the right might get from that portion of the population. So in a sense worked for Obama.
I love your negative knee jerk responses to any and everything that doesn't fit 100% into your narrow conservative view. And I believe everything is Gospel truth? That's kind of funny. :)

It's 10 to 12 here and I'm shattered. I'm not conservative, nor religious.
However, you are a smug far left liberal female in dire need of some sexual attention from a man - FACT :o

I'm not that far left. And speaking of sexual attention, it's 10 to 12 on a friday night, and it seems you are the one who lives without love tonight. Is that the reason for the bad mood?
