I'll bring it up.... Options

So, how about the bombings in London today?

I'll tell you how I felt. I was filled with rage when I heard about them. I think 9/11 scared me because it was here on U.S. soil, but this pisses me off, maybe just because it's too far away for me to be immediately scared. I do not understand how people can do things like that. Last I heard the death toll was over 40, but that was this morning. 40 civilians.... I know it's nothing compared to 9-11, but still. The cowardice that it must take to kill innocent people to support a cause....

And what makes it worse is in my mind, I can see someone about 4 years from now telling everyone that it was the British government that planted all the bombs.... Sickening.

Sorry if I offended anyone.

i could see internment, and like i have said 100 times on these forum. all hell will break loose when some arab american commits a home invasion and sets up his web cam and takes the head off a white suburban american family. think it wont happen? walmart has EVERYTHING to do it.(LOL) so will placing arab muslim american in internment camps (for protective custody) a bad thing? will you have dinner with your muslim co-worker alone after that? if the muslim world was SOOOO concerned about clearing their religion, then why dont they handle this themselves? why dont they hand over the dangerous muslim clerics? what you dont think they know who they are? your kidding me right?
i have to say one thing that was totally postive about all this, it brought america together. black and white have united (damn even the blacks and jews in nyc) to fight the common good. (ironic) which is why we have been asskickers here in america for a long time. we have always been united. (well vietnam wasnt a war...just remember that) oh and the talk about us nuking japan...that was done to save hundreds of thousands of american lives. now with nukes being sold as much as unregistered guns in america, would nuking the tora bora region (taliban hide out area...if that isnt it) a bad thing? what about chemical weapons? see what really gets me going is that people like you cry over this shit. almost like these people that say oh its not his fault its society that made them this way....well great....fuck'em.... they did the crime and now they pay. tim Mc Veigh may have had help from what terrorist org? hello...anyone there???

OH and real 7-7-05 london england 2 sister from tennesse were injured in the blast....arabs? muslims? hummm when the terrorists behead an american on our soil put your family (wife and kids) between them and the rest of the population...see what happens...

oh and i like the oven idea.... alive so we dont have to waste ammo...
just be real happy that i dont run the country.

For sheer length, that's an impressive list Real, but again, I ask you so what?

I'm pretty sure everybody in this forum realizes that terrorism is a modern invention of the militant Islamists. So what, how does that justify arbitrarily locking up all the arab-AERICANS on the grounds that they didn't voice their opposition to YOUR satisfaction? Who are you to set the standards, and since when did good arab-americans become beholden to citizen RealDeal's standards of 'patriotism'?

You see, I mentioned Timothy McVeigh as an example of insanity, but if you paid attention to my arguments, you would have seen the ridiculousness of your own positions. And you sidestepped the question entire question, as if the US can only have 1 enemy at a time (that being arabs). Shall I be more specific? Shall I provide a long list of militia activities in the US, actively campaigning against the government? If we can lock up all the arabs, then surely we can lock up the whites too. Only seems fair in the protection of the US. Let's lock em all up Real. Let's nuke everything.

After 9/11, it doesn't make sense why a group of AMERICANS, as an ethnic block, should have to coordinate themselves and demonstrate their loyalty just because You can't accept the fact that they are as American as you and I. You're not above anyone else here.

Frosty hits it right on the head.

nice job.
