Jim, I was being sarcastic.... as if the USA would have given Germany money, supplies, equipment and so on in the midst of the war....

Showing peace and love will make your, and another persons, day better. Especially on a day of rememberance like today.
Tomorrow we can go back to business as usual.

Like I didn't realize that Gen'l....(who do you think I am? Rubato? )

My subsequent post was not a response to yours; it was a comment on the concept of "peace and love" as an effective strategy in combating "hate and evil"...

It's not always about you...

[MajGenl.Meade]

See... it is! It is!

[MajGenl.Meade]

I used to be your favorite drunk
Good for one more laugh
Then we both ran out of luck
And luck was all we had

You put on a uniform
To fight the Civil War
I tried to join but no one liked
The side I’m fighting for

So let’s drink to when it’s over
And let’s drink to when we meet
I’ll be standing on this corner
Where there used to be a street

You left me with the dishes
And a baby in the bath
And you’re tight with the militias
You wear their camouflage

I guess that makes us equal
But I want to march with you
An extra in the sequel
To the old red-white-and-blue

So let’s drink to when it’s over
And let’s drink to when we meet
I’ll be standing on this corner
Where there used to be a street

I cried for you this morning
And I’ll cry for you again
But I’m not in charge of sorrow
So please don’t ask me when

I know the burden’s heavy
As you bear it through the night
Some people say it’s empty
But that doesn’t mean it’s light

So let’s drink to when it’s over
And let’s drink to when we meet
I’ll be standing on this corner
Where there used to be a street

It’s going to be September now
For many years to come
Every heart adjusting
To that strict September drum

I see the Ghost of Culture
With numbers on his wrist
Salute some new conclusion
Which all of us have missed

So let’s drink to when it’s over
And let’s drink to when we meet
I’ll be standing on this corner
Where there used to be a street

Let us not forget these people in the wake of 9/11...........



Let them eat sh-t!

[Scooter]

Let's not forget those Americans who in the wake of the Oklahoma City bombing went rampaging through the streets beating the living crap out of anyone they perceived to be Muslim. Should we judge all Americans by that standard?

[Scooter]

And do we have Cary from the Darwin Awards Forum reincarnated here or what, when a poster's OP and every subsequent post is deleted after the fact once he realized what an ass of himself he has made?

[Crackpot]

Hardly a new or unique thing scooter. Turfing/confabulated did something similar so did another poster (I'm thinking loca but I could be wrong)

[Lord Jim]

Wasn't it Schmell who went back and tried to delete all his posts?

[MajGenl.Meade]

I actually go forward and delete many of my posts before I post them. Be thankful

[Joe Guy]

I only post posts that are worth deleting. I keep the good ones for myself.

[dales]

In Scooter's world, equating the deaths of 4000 INNOCENT AMERICANS is the same as a few Muslims getting their hair mussed up after 9-11.

The only thing I recall was a Sikh being murdered in AZ. The fumduck thought he was Muslim.

[Scooter]

Did you feel that whoosh? That was the point flying right over your head.

[Long Run]

Showing peace and love will make your, and another person's, day better. Especially on a day of remembrance like today.

Second that.

My Dear Scooter,

I CHOSE to ignore it, it is irrelevant to the discussion at hand.


Your "point" being that after OK Bombing (NOT the 9-11 attack, which is the OP) you were whining about some people who got beat up.

Right?

WHOOSH is the sound of your brain deflating.

Wrong.

Sorry, Scooter, to have to step in and state the obvious: Dale, the point was that you shouldn't judge an entire nationality by the behavior of the worst of its population. (Oh, and speaking of irrelevant...the video you posted was *ALSO* "irrelevant to the discussion at hand".)

(Gandhi once said that he had "a secret weapon in the conscience of the British people"...)

I remember a very well written "alternate history" SF story that imagined Gandhi staging his protests in an India where Germany had managed to wrest control of the colony from Britain. (Needless to say, things went quite differently for Gandhi...)

[dales]

Where did I post "all"......I meant those dancing in the streets in the video.

Oh, and speaking of irrelevant...the video you posted was *ALSO* "irrelevant to the discussion at hand".)

It was?

How?

Why?

When?

Who?

Where?

[Lord Jim]

the point was that you shouldn't judge an entire nationality by the behavior of the worst of its population.

That is what I also took to be Scooter's point...
