WTF??

Are you still on the "let's launch a holy crusade to
exterminate
the
Arabs" kick?

Let's assume, for a moment, that Arabs have not made any
'contributions
to society' in the past 100 years. Does that justify a war
against
any
or all Arab and/or Muslim nations?


My comment was in reponse to the statement that all Arab nations
hate
us.
Essentially, I'm saying "who cares"...they're irrelevant in the
whole
scheme
of things...unless of course they attack us. Only *then* do
they
become
relevant...and then I *do* say that their lack of contributions
to
society
should be considered when we're deciding just how many kiloton
nuke
we
should drop on 'em.

Then where would the oil that you republicans want us dependent on
going to come from?

Oil is unaffected by nukes. It'll still be there...only with
nothing
in
the
way between it and us.



You can't get rid of nuclear contamination with dental floss. Would
you
send
your kids into a hot zone as employees of Exxon?

Do you mean before or after we dropped nukes?



After, dummy. You said oil is unaffected, which implies we could still go
get it. If not your kids, who would you expect to do that job?


The Guantanamo detainees.

Nah.....just use some neutron bombs ........y6ou probably would not have to
worry about the oil fields being affected.

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.


Sorry, that was the Mark Browne. You liberals all look alike on a computer
monitor.

They're out the

For example,
Chemistry. (Nobel prize winner in 1999 was an Arab)


That's a bit of stretch, don't you think, Chuck? The guy had been
an
instructer at Caltech for 23 years prior to the award. He was more
"American" than Arab. Excluding Arab-Americans, Arab-Europeans,
etc.,
what
positive contributions have Arabs living in Arab nations made to
society
in
the last 100 years?



What contributions would you consider valid ones?

The light bulb, penicillin, the first computer, the internal combustion
engine and the automobile, space travel, airplanes, pre-emptive strikes,
and
supply side economics. ;-)



Hmm. No literature. Not surprising, coming from the court jester.

lit·er·a·ture (ltr--chr, -chr)
n.
1.. The body of written works of a language, period, or culture.
2.. Imaginative or creative writing
I read a lot "imaginary or creative writing" everytime I read yours or
Harry's posts here on rec.boats...or whenever I visit the NY Times or
Washington Post website.

Your liberalism is showing here. If someone's on welfare, it must
be
the
fault of the wealthy. Right? If a a guy's head is severed from
his
body
in
front of a video camera, it's the victim's fault. If the Arabs
haven't
made
one positive contribution to society in the last 100 years, it's
the
fault
of the West.

It's the new dem's campaign strategy......"Blame it on America"

Oh. Another genius who was chokin' his chicken in history class.
Here's
a
yes or no question for you. Do you believe that on the whole, the
countries
of the Middle East have been left pretty much alone for the past 100
years,
and were able to pursue a natural course of development? Yes, or no.


No.

Now a question for you:
What positive contributions have the Arab nations made to society in the
last 100 years? (This isn't the time to lay blame...just list the
contributions).

A series of great books by Naguib Mahfouz.

He used to be center for the Denver Nuggets, right? Then he was traded to
Atlanta, the Nets...and then the Knicks.

Trapped? By you? Puh-leeze. I asked you to name *one* Arab living in an
Arab country who has made a significant positive contribution to society in
the last 100 years, and the best you came up with is a guy who writes
literature that 99.9999999% of the World has never read. Some impact!

Source of numbers, please. And, provide an explanation for the author's
presence in American literary critiques on a pretty regular basis.

It is really getting bad... NOYB used to be one that one could have a good
and insightful banter with...

Now he has degraded to nothing but a petty crybaby ...

Nuke the middle east, oil won't be affected, send the Guantanamo detainees
to recover the oil...

Here's a hint for you NOYB, Nuclear contamination affects everything.
Granted the oil in ground might not be affected, but once it is brought out
of the ground it will be. It will still be affected when it goes onto the
boat to bring it to the refinery. Still affected when it is processed into
the final form used by the consumer. Still affected as the consumer uses it.

Sure, lets just nuke the middle east and slowly kill everyone in the world
by the hundreds of years of contamination caused.

Lets also not forget the Nuclear Cloud... Where will it land? Will the wind
carry it only over the Arab world? What about the wind shift that carries it
west and dumps it on England.... Carries it further and drops it on New York
City....

Man, suddenly Sept 11, 2001 doesn't seem so bad, after all, there is one in
the right wing that would want to kill-em-all including anyone that just
happens to be in the wrong place years down the road.

Here's an excerpt of a very recent newsflash for you:
"an Al Qaeda leader has said 4 million Americans will have to be killed "as
a prerequisite to any Islamic victory."

No thanks. I say do unto others before they do unto you.

Do you want to know the turning point in my opinion? The huge amount of
outrage shown by the World in regard to the Abu Ghraib pictures...compared
to the ho-hum attitude displayed following the Berg decapitation.

Plus, it's more fun playing the Devil's advocate. Boring and low-key
solutions get no attention anyhow.
