You're stuck on the subject of what Arabs have done to the
rest
of
the
world

Not "done to", but "done for" the rest of the World. What
positive
contributions have they made?

If *this* country had been sliced up and rearranged into
meaningless
arrangements by foreign powers and a number of wars, you'd find
that
OUR
contributions would be hindered somewhat. Survival would become
more
important.


So what you're saying is that you can't list any positive
contributions
to
society from the Arab world in the last 100 years. Isn't that
what
I
said
last week? And what Harry said 2 1/2 years ago...before he changed
his
mind?

I said nothing of the kind. What I said is true. If a country or
region
is
ravaged by war, or politically manipulated in ways which were not
designed
to benefit the region, it has SOME EFFECT on the ability to function
in
what
you or I would consider "normal". But, you deny that the Middle East
has
been touched by us, Europe or Russia over the past 100 years

Oh, give it up. There have been many races, cultures, and nations
which
have been tinkered with by outside influence over the years. Yet,
most
of
those have managed to make significant contributions to society
despite
the
"oppression". Quit making excuses for the Arabs. They've contributed
zilch
over the last century.



Your attitude has one redeeming quality. You will raise your children to
think as you do. Therefore, companies like McDonald's and Wendy's will
never
have problems staffing their front counters, and I will be able to get
lunch
quickly.

That's pretty funny, Doug...especially coming from someone who's son was
out
of a job for months on end due to his possessing no positive redeeming
qualities.



What the **** are you talking about? My son's 15. :-) It's illegal in this
state for kids that age to do much of anything except mow lawns.
