I am no fan of contemporary or recent Arab/Moslem culture or history,

our society.


You sure seem to have backed off your position from 2 years ago. Here's
what you had to say
in April 2002:

"The reality is that for at least the last 100 years, the so-called Arab
states have contributed absolutely nothing to the furthering of society
in
any field of endeavor and the only reason anyone tolerates their
anti-social
behavior is because they happen to be sitting on oil. If it weren't for
their oil, no one would pay them the slightest attention.
Their contributions to the fields of medicine, other sciences, the arts,
socialization, you name it and there is nothing there. Oh...I
forgot...they're adept at cowardice, at furthering the methodology of
terrorism and waging war on non-combatants."




Well, unlike you, I don't suffer from a rigid personality or locked
intellectuality.

Nice spin. No one buys it though.

Why is it that you continually get caught in your lies and fabrications?
People here see right through you Krause. You are nothing but a old man
leading a miserable and failed life so you attempt to build it up in a
remote internet NG.

Get some professional help.

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.


What positive contributions have *you* made, NOBBY?

Many. Let me use an anology. Were I to be arrested, for instance, the
judge
would look at my long list of positive contributions to my
community...and
his punishment would be doled out accordingly. If I were a jobless
vagrant
who had many run-ins with the law and never contributed anything useful
to
society, I'd have a lot harsher punishment. It happens all the time in
our
justice system. I'm saying "let's apply the same standard to nations".

Time to bomb Iceland, then.

Obviously the point zipped right over your head. If Iceland were turning
out terrorists as rapidly as the Middle East, you'd have to weigh its
positive contributions vs. its negative contributions to society when
deciding what level of punishment to inflict upon them.

What about the terrorists the U.S. are "turning out"? Should we bomb
ourselves? It' pretty shallow of you to think that if any global
occurence doesn't fit YOUR idea of *good*, then the country where that
instance occured should be bombed. Purely childish, grow up.

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.

Are you really that stupid?

Based on NOYB's definition of "turning out terrorists", I believe Florida
should be on the list of places we need to bomb. Didn't two of the hijackers
spend quite a bit of time there, passing out singles in a strip club?

You also spew gibberish when you're trapped.

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.


OK, maybe there's a couple of extra "9's" in there.

99.9995% of the World's population...would put the number of
Naguib
Mahfouz
readers at 1 million. That's beyond generous.




Source of numbers, please. How do you know how many books he's sold?
Hint:
You're pulling this outta your ass

Yep. Do you have a better estimate?

because you're a racist.

LOL. Racism has zip, zero, and nada to do with it. Nice
"liberal-losing-an-argument" tactic, though.





You'd nuke an entire region because of a few terrorists? Racist. You
know
that.


It's not racism, Doug. Intolerance of militant religions, maybe...but not
racism.



Better include Catholicism, then, based on history.
