Anything that happened to Muslims after 9/11 was due to ignorance of people, who could not differentiate between different Muslims. What the left-wing media is doing here, is just blaming a sect of the U.S. population, without any facts, to push their agenda.
To be fair though, the right was involved in this. That's right, the majority of police officers, and firefighters are conservative. They get the privilage of cleaning up the mess after it happens. I'm sure when they sort through the body parts, they don't care who did it.
Even though we all are quite used to your constant hijackings, off-topicness and going off on a tangent, and it's almost become a habit that you make this topic virtually unbreathable for most users, something needs to be done with your constant disrespect, rudeness and swearings towards other users.
This is designed to be a music website&forum but you write the 99% of your posts in this thread, mostly seeking/following confrontations between users.
I have told you PLENTY of times: I don't have anything against you or your opinions. Most of my friends are right-winged and I get along fine with them. But I DO HAVE something against all your faults described above. So, this is the last time I do this.
Please read carefully the House Rules, specially this ones:
-Whilst debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or aggressive posts.
-We expect mutual respect between all users. This means you won't ever post something whilst taking advantage of someone 's behaviour, possible physical or mental handicaps, race or gender.
So, I hereby warn you: if you ever insult another user or moderator in this thread, you're out of this website.
I cannot promise that I will not insult anyone, only that I will not insult anyone unless they insult me first. I wont call anyone names or swear at them unprovoked, but if they insult me first, all bets are off. Yes I know its immature, but I'm not making a promise I cant keep.
In any case, I'm calming down now anyway.
Last week sucked in general. I worry to much about things I lack control over.
I'm fine with that, as long as you don't consider normal opinions (only different from yours) "insults" towards you or your beliefs - as you use(d) to do.
Thanks anyway.
As a general rule when debating, a primitive insult equals losing. It's pretty much saying "I've no intelligent arguments left". It's also just poor manners.
It's easy not to insult someone, you just don't do it. As for saying that you won't insult someone unless you're insulted first, me and Ali never insulted you first yet you brought out the curse words and the threats.
Please, more civility when discussing politics. I know it's a touchy topic with people's political beliefs potentially conflicting, but insults are not the way to go. As Olof pretty much said, it makes you look like the bad guy meaning you've essentially lost an argument as you can only resort to insults. No hard feelings, Aaron, please.
I don't see how any part of my post was insulting towards you Aaron, but anyway...
I refer you to my second post: http://www.u2start.com/topic/by-post/526557/
I understand your issue with the comparison I'm making but my point is more about all such speculations in general. I'm not even arguing with you, I'm saying you have a point and that the same goes for Muslims being treated differently post 9/11.
I do however believe that those people that caused 9/11 are not to be considered Muslims even if they consider themselves so...but that's a different discussion mostly based on principles.
