NO Terrorists Today !!! Yaaaay!

Post by KeithReynolds »

Is everyone resting easy???? Are you gonna be ok??
No "Terrorists" struck today. No reason to go murder people in a country for years now.
Sorry to the bloodthirsty rednecks who support genocide.
Yeehaw! 'Merica!

Still, the only terrorists we gotta fear are the ones we elect and the ones we give the guns to.

Easy now.

I'm with ya and I'm thankful but I'm still keeping one eye open. If the bastards could hit us, they would!

I think we have them grinded down pretty well now but it will be a long time till we know that we're really safe.

The problem with that thinking, Ramrod, is that any time you knock one down, another figurehead marches into his/her place. This is the problem with politics and fanatical military/militia. You can't just peg someone and call it a day

In 300, they didn't call the Immortals that because they were invincible... It was because they were so numerous that if you killed one, you didn't know it, because someone immediately took his place, before you realized it

I'm glad today went well, and was actually nice out! I'm thankful for the peace we had today, and I hope everyone was able to do something worth while, enjoying their freedom. We aren't totally free, but we certainly shouldn't consider ourselves slaves (aside from jokes about jobs we work at). We're much better off here, than in many countries, no matter what you may or may not believe

Sure, we are better off than some other countries, but it has NOTHING to do with us killing thousands of people in the mid east.

Its strange how we base our freedom off how many people in other countries we kill. Its sickening. I want to say so much more, but im sure some panties will be twisted, so I wont say anything. :lol:

You said all that so I can say this....I love my country, I love my fellow man (Not in a "GAY" way...), but as far as I'm concerned, we are the terrorist over there. Don't get me wrong, us "helping" the people of the world gain or maintain "freedom" is very noble but ... I'm not a politics buff ...So, if I twisted anyone's panties....I hope their lacy. :twisted:

I don't know about the rest of you, but I think I'm writing Kieth in as president next year. I like the way you think!

I'm sorry, but I don't agree that anyone that we have elected are terrorists. The US Government is not blowing up things, or killing people, or mailing out Anthrax, in the name of Catholicism, Hinduism, Atheism, or whatever religion they happen to be. They are not hijacking airplanes and slamming them into buildings. They did not come into power by a revolt, then rule them for 40 years before a rebellion finally steps up. Just because people didn't agree that we should have gone into Iraq (or whatever place we didn't want to go to), doesn't mean that any elected official in office is a terrorist.

You may not agree with the person in charge, but that doesn't mean they are terrorists, that means that your guy lost the election. That isn't tyranny or terrorism, that's democracy.

Did I like Bush, no. Did I think he should have gone into Iraq, no. That doesn't mean he's a terrorist.

Did Obama win the election, yes. Is he doing a good job, maybe, maybe not. Terrorist, nope, no evidence to suggest he is doing anything remotely close to terrorism. If he enacts policies that are unpopular, still not terrorism.

This is not the WWF where calling someone a terrorist is OK.

I disagree with you on just about all points. I personally think us killing people in multiple countries for a decade is terrorism. Im sure they feel a bit terrified. Wouldnt you if someone was in your country and killing large amounts of people? Im sure you would. I guess its only "terrorism" when it happens the the US. wow!

If that's your definition of terrorism...

No, America is doing it in the name of oil and democracy. We did come in to power via a revolt, against England back in the 1700s. And if you really go back, America committed genocide on the Native Americans in the name of Christianity. That's how the USA came to be.

Just sayin'.

If it's for oil? Then why are we only getting about 19% of our oil from the middle east?

I agree with a lot of points made on my comments. I don't agree with us going in for the oil, unless the President himself comes on television and says "we are attacking because we want oil."

I guess all I'm saying is that we're not politicians, they are. We really truly do not know what goes on behind closed doors, so saying that we're going for oil when we truly do not know that 100% because we're not in the White House, is wrong to say. I would personally feel pissed if a non-musician criticised the style that I play, because they are not musicians.

I don't think what we are doing is terrorism, because we are not TARGETING civilians. We are targeting a type of a military that's aim is to take us out. Our aim is not to take out Afghanistan, or Pakistan, or Iraq, our aim was to take out an evil leader, or a terrorist organization, not the country itself. To my knowledge, we did not attack Baghdad just to kill civilians.

God, we gotta get back to talking about music...

What is your favorite E# note? lol

Thanks Kevin for bringing up the Native Americans. YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT. People forget that the Rebels from England MURDERED & STOLE this country from the people already living here.

Well, gosh, Rob, I don't know. Maybe because we're fucking bombing most of them and are only on good terms with about 25% of the Middle East? Most of the Middle East hates us.

God bro you make me laugh.Lands were invaded and taken over constantly when mankind was finding it's way.I'm sure the Indians were fun loving peaceful people who never harmed anybody.I love ya man the self loathing thing just gets old.
Self loathing? What the fuck are you even talking about?? Did you even really read this thread?

Obviously in the past there have been lots of counties that have massively killed groups of people for conquering the land. This isnt fucking 400 BC!!! We shouldnt be destroying countries for decades.
Why is "Peace" such an alien concept? Shouldnt we lead by example? Let the savages do that. We should be above it, but obviously we arent with the mentalities our citizens and leadership have.

Gotta get ready for work, so I wont be able to read the thread until 3am.

Hey Scott- I signed out and didnt even look at the thread because I had to get ready for work. Were all good, man. Much worse things have been said about me. Plus, youre my bud.

BUT! haha. Theres always a "but".
To me, I think that us bombing places and sending all sorts of crazy covert kill missions is crazy. I understand people in other countries are nuts too, and they kill lots of people.....but I REALLY feel we should be different. Lead by example. Murder is still murder no matter who is doing it. I really dont feel it should be condoned regardless.
The only reason any of our people are dying, is because we are in OTHER COUNTRIES attacking THEIR people. OF COURSE they are gonna fight back. Wouldnt you?! Id hope so!

The ONLY reason ANYONE is "Free" here in the USA is you just HAPPENED to be born in the USA.
You exist at this time, in this country by CHANCE.
You couldve EASILY been an ancient Egyptian or a slave in the 1800's.
You a free, white, christian man by CHANCE. Nothing Else.
Thats why the sense of entitlement that alot of people have is just WAAAAY off base and really stupid. In my opinion.
