OK...I deserved that. I should have been more specific. In the context of the back and forth, we were talking about 'people'. That is who the 'you' was referring to. 'You' people in general, not 'you' Epona. My apologies.

OK, accepted.
I think we may have to agree to disagree on the wider issue though - doesn't look like there's much common ground there! But I'll let you get off to bed now - it must be late in your part of the world.

I'll tell you where I'm getting it from! In the Pentagon wreakage a stewardess (flight attendant for the PC crowd) was found with her hands tied behind her back and her throat cut. Real "brave" to attack unarmed people, with the belief that you will get rewarded in the afterlife. BRAVE was the actions of the people on flight 73 that fought for the chance to live, unarmed people against armed people! We will never know if they thought they would be rewarded for their attions on that day, but give American soceity I doubt that thought entered their minds.

That is what sickens me most of those terrorist, they kill without reason. It's like they (those terrorist) have a brain block or something, it's just like Lilarcor, MurderDeathKill .........

Calm down, mate, don't put words in someone's mouth, eh? Epona has a right to talk about dead children, upsetting as that may be to you, just as you have the right to talk about Nintendo games advocating bin Laden's death (upsetting as that may be to her). Respect the right of others to their opinion as long as they are not disrespecting anyone in the process! Don't forget that.

Epona...your personal morals aside, there are plenty of reasons to be jubilant. America and Britain have struck the first blow in what should be a decisive series of blows against terror. We are fighting back. The(SEVERAL THOUSAND) corpses still lying under the rubble of the WTC are finally getting some justice. Those are all good reasons to be jubilant.

And, just for the record...I dont see anywhere in Liliara's, or anyone else's posts, anything that would indicate that they are jubilant over others pain. She, I, and others are happy that we have struck a blow.

And also, since we're on in that vein...I feel personally ill that anyone could be so lacking in essential fibre as to believe that talking the problem to death, or offering terms, or any other ridiculous peacenik solution has a hope of working. You dont meet force with a flower. You meet it with a bullet!

OUT!


EDIT: Guess I should have just went with my first instinct and said 'without the spine'. Sorry Epona. Hope that clears up the confusion for ya.
Two things Nachtrafe :

1. You're right about punishing those bastards for what they've done to those people that were in WTC at the time
2. You're NOT right about having the right to celebrate the killings we done now in Afghanistan. Did you see that part on the tv when those sick Arabian people were celebrating because of what just happenend back then at the WTC?? That was disgusting We shouldn't do the same as those sickos, there is no celebration after war, only death.

I would like to add that Satan tried to use God's word against the savior. If you are not a Christian, please refrain from using any examples of our religion.
Liliara, I probably know as much as any christian about Jesus, and maybe more than most who claim to be christian but have never even read the gospels, let alone the entire bible. (Not saying this applies to YOU! ) I have the greatest respect for Jesus, for his teachings and for the way he lived his life. So why should I NOT use him as an example? Especially to one who IS a christian, and presumeably trying to live by Jesus example?
Can YOU imagine Jesus treating an animal - even an unclean one - in the way Larry did? I do not claim that Jesus would not kill anything - but he sure as hell wouldn't torture it first by pouring chlorine and peroxide into it's burrow. Furthermore, since you believe the bible, you will know that God and Jesus do NOT kill innocent people, so to state that the West's action in Afghanistan is the work of god (as you seem to have done), is mistaken, to say the least.

No hard feelings, Liliara, but I don't see why I should not express my opinion as clearly as you express yours! Nor should I be restricted from using an example of my choice if it fits. I did not say Larry should not use killing the rat as an example, even though I found it reprehensible, and said so.

Let's not fall out just because we disagree, ok?
