TL, replace "image" with "img" from nighstalkers post.
Quote my post to see how it works.

Sir Krustin:
Isn't that how you do it for IWF?? I've got that down okay. I needed to do it on an html site. I think if you hit my link you'll see I got the troll image in just fine and stuck my foot up the bastard's a**. |

I checked my post, and UBB modified my post.
Anyways, the html way is to use img though it just occurred to me that either may work. EDIT> good one! closet homo [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] [ 01-29-2003, 05:46 PM: Message edited by: Sir Krustin ]

LOL, that's telling them, TL. Trust a lawyer to come up with the perfect retort, even if it takes them all afternoon. Congrats. [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img]

What I think differs Osama bin Laden from Bush apart from the fact that the first is a terrorist and the second is the president of the USA, is the fact that Bush virtually commits the same crimes that he detests Osama bin Laden for, and even condones them. With his 'high-tech' bombs he should, and perhaps even could, have been able to avoid any casualties in his war in Afghanistan, and yet there were casualties. And not one or two, but a lot of them. In this way he is not that different from Osama bin Laden; he has also killed innocent people. People unaware of what was going on in the World Trade Center. They were killed by bin Laden. On the other end people that were unintentionally, but still unnecessarily killed in Afghanistan, although they were not supporting bin Laden at all. Of course one can debate that Osama bin Laden destroyed the WTC, and with them murdered hundreds of people, on purpose, and Bush did not kill those people in Afghanistan on purpose, but the fact is that they were killed, while it was obvious that the weaponry that the US Army was using was high-tech enough to track and destroy only the Al-Quaeda forces. And the fact that Bush stated that his War on Terrorism wasn't over after his (so-called) victory in Afghanistan makes it even more hypocrite. Citing Hiroshima was never one of my plans, by the way, and although I believe that using a nuclear bomb was overdone, I can understand that Japan had to be stopped. But as you said; this is an entirely different issue. 2. I'm not quite sure if I understand what you mean by this point. Maybe you could enlighten me further about what you're saying. 3. Altruism is something that is desperately needed in this world, and I'm happy to see that you agree on this matter with me. Fact is though, that my entire story wasn't a rant against the entire political program of Bush. I am well aware of the fact that the USA does a lot of good things, and I greatly approve the plan to stop AIDS that Bush has promoted. But I just wanted to point out that it isn't America's role in this world to play international referee. Of course; (I love this quote) "With great power comes great responsibility", but I feel that Bush takes this 'responsibility' one step too far. Maybe altruism wasn't the right term for it, but being more open to other's thoughts, being more open to other ideas, in short: being more open to another, is certainly something that fits in the definition of the word altruism. Not only does altruism mean being social, or beneficial to others (like you said: America practically owns the World Bank, offers a new idea to stop AIDS in Africa), but it also means being more social with others. Being able to coexist (to put things in an extreme view) with each other. Being able to give in to one another. Of course. I understand that one cannot simply forgive and forget the things that Osama bin Laden has done to America, but that is just one example. There are many others, and I think the entire Iraw-affair, which we are facing now, just illustrates perfectly what I'm talking about here. 3A. I'm glad you point that out, thank you. He did sound pretty rational in his posts, though, but I believe you perfectly that he is a ignorant troll. (Use fire or acid on its body to kill it! [img]smile.gif[/img] )

If you want to discuss Bin Laden, Iraq etc...you guessed it, go to the War Forum. As Timber noted, that's the place for such things.
As for the troll on that site, geez, Timber, is that common there? Or was this a fluke? Guess it takes all kinds, hmmm?

Daddy-O. I find that particular comment extremely amusing.
Obviously this is an individual of little intelligence; it is also obvious, to me, Timber Loftis is intelligent. I am sure he took this for what it was and got a chuckle from it.
