Sure is. It is now 12 years after the fact and the continued references to 9-11 are nothing but a cynical attempt to justify more killing and more Military Industrial Complex spending. For instance Obama’s attempt to get a consensus to attack Syria. Nerve gas was just fine in the 1980’s when America’s then-friend Saddam Hussein used it against Iranians and his own people. Now all of a sudden it is cause for the American cowboy to draw his piece and go kill more people in the Third World. One or two good salvos of cruise missiles will generate millions in profits for the American arms industry. Ask any detective how to solve a murder mystery and s/he will advise you to follow the money.


Barrack Obama never intended to attack Syria. He's a lot more intelligent than most people give him credit for. Now , in extremis, he might have, but he played the odds and won.

More on this in a week.

9/11 is to the Americans what the holocaust is to the Jews. It helps them justify all the bad **** they feel like doing.

So who's been attacking Syria Bob? Regarding Obamas intelligence I wonder how the hell would you know. We can hardly hold our bladders waiting for your further contribution on this matter.

Child, you started the personal attacks. Then you got it back, and went whining to the mods.
Not that I'm surprised, mind.

Point to a personal attack? There are none unless, you consider criticisms of US policies and activities to be personal? Granted, far too many Yanks are like that.

I don't mind however. I'm new here and trying to get a handle on how the rules are enforced. Apparently rules about attacking other posters personally are honoured in the breach more than the observance. Nice to know, but soft boundaries can make for unfair enforcement. Cuss words are presumably jumped on because I see none. They are easier to enforce because either they're there or they're not. This being a Canadian site I presume that disparaging words about sexual orientation will be jumped on with great self-righteousness as politically incorrect. Disparaging but unprofane slights such as that used by the above poster do not seem to invite criticism. The mine field is somewhere in the middle. I guess it provides ground for fertile thought for those who get personal satisfaction out of calling anonymous online strangers names.



As for our American friends, I am glad they’re here. To use an Americanism, they make for a target-rich environment, emotionally excitable, poorly educated and easily set up. The fun never ceases because they don't learn very easily.

You may be right about his intentions. I hope so. A bluff based on past US atrocities would be a smart play.

Gotta love the Tea Party line - simple, stupid and disingenuous, marginally within the grasp of an infantry mind but stopping there.

Interesting point. The only thing I would change is to say "Israelis" instead of "Jews" to differentiate between the Jewish faith and the government of Israel.

America started to run off the rails on oil in the late 1940's. There was a man , Powel Crosley Jr., who had made his fortune in radio and appliances and lost over 100 million in today's money when he tried to get America to buy his small cars, live off its own resources, instead of cruising the planet as energy buccaneers.

Putin and Assad have stopped ignoring the UN on Chemical weapons, and the US Navy never fired a shot. Not bad for a 'bumbling Nigra', -
not bad at all...

Forum rules are posted here as they are most everywhere. I am simply not a hand holder, nanny, a cop or a ref. I'd rather see no censorship or 'rules' for day-to-day debates and e-p e n i s displays. That's my personal opinion. I don't generally get involved. I don't generally care that much. Everyone here is a big boy or girl. Occasionally a warning or infraction are necessary. A few arseholes have never been allowed back too. Other moderators and members here may have their own ideas on how to let the flow proceed or not.

But take heed though...the owner may swing by and ban someone for a seemingly innocuous post (to most others). We tend to self-regulate and can become proficient enough at it , not that it's a bad thing in my opinion. Even so, sh!t happens and prices can be paid. It is his site after all.

From time to time a crybaby or two will hyperventilate because another member was mean or something. All that noise attracts attention. It's sorta like rough-housing during a sleepover. Gotta keep it to a dull roar sometimes. Even still, you could eventually get a no-knock warrant served on your a s s. Not a good thing.

I guess what I'm trying to say is rules (and laws) can be a nuisance. But if everyone uses their grown-up words, practices their tolerance, their conscience, their common sense and once in awhile walk away from a retarded pissing match, then we all live to post another day. We don't need to drag an idiot's mom into a topic or go all Carlin on someone. But we can be creative.

As you say, everyone needs a little time to know and become known to other members. In due time you may end up meeting up with one of these yahoos. Maybe they'll need your help one day. Who knows. Enjoy your time here. You're welcome here.

Anyway, something like that. I dunno. I could be wrong. They're the forum discussions. Without 'em, we're just reddit without the porn.

Speaking of which, I spend a lot of time viewing line traps on my special sites so cannot be everywhere.

What are "line traps"?

What are "special sites"? Got links?

Just a heads up.
If you like to criticize the USA in online forums. Snowden says,
"they read every post you make".

So to be safe. Don't plan to make any trips to the United States, now that they know you hate them.

Stressful, Surely there must be a civilian airliner somewhere that they can shoot down "in self defence"?


The great majority of Americans, Tober, want to see Mr. Obama tend to the Home acres for the next three year. But - they really kind of dig a man who gets very angry when he sees gassed children. Syria didn't 'drop his popularity'.

Remember Berbera, Somalialand, anyone? Great soviet naval port of the new 'Peoples Republic of Somalia'

I've been bashing them hard for quite a while. Since I started I've travelled extensively in the US. Besides, I don't hate Americans. I am anti some US policies. There is a big difference, although I acknowledge that the difference is meaningless to your typical Tea Partier and their associated red necks, some of whom post here. Are US policies any of my business? At least two points are worth arguing:
  1. Policies that they brag about and I think effect me are fair for me to debate.
  2. "America the Loud" is in everybody's face all the time anyway.
Besides, the Internet is the biggest intelligence boon a country like America could ask for. It allows them to make the same kinds of lists Hitler used to make for the same reasons, only with more names and written evidence. Many sites are rooted in US intelligence and many posters are at-work government employees. Sometimes over a long enough period you can see distinct word-usage changes occur in long term posters as people come and go in jobs. That is becoming less so as strategies become more sophisticated and Internet culture becomes more known.
