Your pictured could have come from anywhere. Could have been done by anyone. But they spine it off as pro Kadaffi.
Just like the media said it could have been al-Qaida right off the bat in this years Norway attack.

Cause our media is definitely not a propaganda tool.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xzlBmJcc9c&feature=player_embedded

So you think what? Tripoli is the same as Toronto. Lebanon is like Vancouver.

I don't believe everything I see or hear, but I take comfort in the fact that I can air my opinion without fear of being executed by my government.

Perhaps if you toned down your over-the-top comparisons it might draw far less critical response.

I just think we have absolutely no right to be bombing them at all. I'm a shame to pay tax that go to buying bombs that are launched at Libya. Maybe they are not perfect. But who are we kidding Toronto is not perfect ether

I noticed. But I can compartmentalize rules too, when it comes to ideologues.

;-)

I actually agree, across the board.

But I'm not willing to post utter idiocy, and ignore reality in the process.

Because Gadaffi suppressed freedom of speech and the right to assemble?
Wait a second here. Lets watch what's going on here at home compared to over there.
Looks the same to me.


Sounds to me like Tripoli was a nice place to live befor we bombed the crap out of it....

Whats wrong with bombing Libya? You got some place else in mind you would rather bomb?

To put things into perspective - while western society isn't perfect (and in fact hypocritical at times - see G20), it's still more democratically advanced than third world and middle eastern countries.

This is a matter of degree and granularity. So while it's a valiant cause to point out our hypocrisy - it's better to put it in the context of a need for improvement rather than simply equating it with more primitive societies.

You've made it clear that you, for one, don't believe in "God", and I believe RCS doesn't either.
Sorry, I should have said I don't believe in your version of God. I'm not big on a God that makes people that hide/protect/aid/abet/assist pedo's, his mouthpiece on earth.

So, obviously not all kill in the name of God.
RCS and I have killed?

By remaining primitive - they - the leadership - maintain control over the mass populations - Note how quick the can rouse a mob to murder and kill Christians that had nothing to do with the Danish Cartoons - Or the burning of the Quran.

Primitive societies?
A difference of how many years ahead are we?
60? When its about women?
And even less for technologies and education?

They are catching up way faster then we are moving forward,
in my opinion. I think we may actually be moving back towards
a primitive society with much less free speech.

Again, I don't agree we should be looking down and judging
Then Bomb the crap out of them for behavior
We have changed in the last 80 years.
