I borrowed this from another forum
"Ahhhhhh, but I can, my man.
See, in a former life I decided to go out amongst them to see if it was true what I was reading about in the one-sided news articles I was reading. So I went there. And saw with my own eyes that the "peoples" (again, don't read too much into that -- I'm playing nicely, here) you claim have no option for knowledge other than some power-hungry imam -- well, holy fuck -- what did I see? Literally a plantation of satellite dishes as far as the eye could see. Even in the teeny-tiny towns, and I mean fucking TINY, there were dishes. And our focus of this thread use(d) those dishes to obtain all sorts of info about the planet (although ironically, most of that info seemed to be coming from a variety of porn channels). I've talked at length with engineers, doctors, generals, secretaries of whatever, warlords, troops, police, wives, widows, children -- and what I got out of it all is that you, kind sir, are mistaken.
Your tgt of affection and excusim doesn't repay you with the evidence you need to sustain your arguments.
You want to paint anyone as bad as they are, if provoked -- yet you can't (actually you won't -- because you and I both know you can find examples to support your argument, but they would open up a whole new can of worms, worms that are just going to need a whole new slew of excuses for their behavior, LOL).
You want to paint them as uneducated, because they are not given the opportunities to learn, but actually they are -- and have access to radio, TV, cable, internet, newspapers, magazines, and etc. -- so uneducated and backwards, yes -- but by CHOICE and not by lack of opportunity.
You want to blame everyone that has some sort of better position, for having that position -- and it is your default presumption that the better position was unfairly obtained, and at the cost of the poor soul(s) who now MUST act out in frustration -- but your poor souls simply won't cooperate.
They get education -- yet prefer to live like they were in the 3rd century.
They get cars yet can't figure out how to manage handling a 4-way intersection.
They have women, but the whole idea of a chick is so giggly to them, they simply prefer to drop a tent over a chick rather than to have to actually walk past her without raping her and unloading their spunk somewhere (can't have a wasted erection, can we?).
They have their revolution yet can't seem to get a handle on not biting the hand that feeds them.
Sorry dude, I CAN have it both ways -- you are the one who can't...."
