Why They All Seem To Hate US

I covered that in post 109.

Doesn't matter when one is skating on a tongue

Yes, unlike you, I'm not open minded when it comes to stoning women. I'm kinda funny that way.

Lots of women are really nice, stoned.;-)

just sayin.

The number of Muslim civilians killed in American operations is another major source of hatred. This includes not only the current wars, but also the Iraqi trade sanctions during the decade preceding 9/11. For the first eight months of sanctions, Iraq could not even transport food. After that, the U.S. continued to block vital humanitarian goods. Trucks needed to deliver food were blocked, along with pipes needed to transport water. Water tankers were blocked during a time of severe drought. When asked about the hundreds of thousands of children that had died because of these tactics, Madeleine Albright, U.S. ambassador to the UN and, later, Secretary of State during the Clinton administration, replied, “We think the price is worth it.”

Right, and that was said by Albright in response to a loaded question during an interview. In other words, the premise of the question was false, and Albright didn't challenge it. Instead, she just answered directly.

Apparently, the sanctions against Iraq didn't include medicine or food.

Well, you did state that you do care why the stoning takes place.

The College of Physicans and Surgeons is working on that.

We more or less do have euthanasia already. Terminally ill patients are sometimes given healthy doses of morphine, also, every patient in hospital has a determination of their DNR (do not resuscitate) status.

It's not quite full blown euthanasia, but it's certainly part way there.

They recently pulled the plug on a kid even though the parents wanted their child to die at home. I never caught the whole news clip so not sure why but the parent's wishes could have been met another Dr. stated.

Yep, you could end up looking like a bit of an ass if it turned out she was being stoned for just offing her 4th husband.

True, but we're not perfect either.

There's an old saying "When in Rome do as Romans do" and then there is JLM's corollary that says "If you don't like it stay the F**K out of there".

''"If you don't like it stay the F**K out of there".''


That's what folks in the Middle East say about the USA's repeated invasions and interventions there.

Everyone hates America!
Even though that doesn't stop them from jerking the "camel" off to an blond American pornstar and drinking a Coca Cola.

What was wrong with isolationism? Americans had a good lifestyle until a quarter of the budget was wasted on the armed forces. Likewise, what enemies did the United States have in 1910 other than Spain and Mexico?
Heck in the Soviet Union, their best minds were pumping out 8,000 tanks a year but at times you couldn't even get a decent baby stroller and you had to wait 10 years just to get an automobile and a pair of jeans took a month's income

I do believe that military spending does correlate to a worse lifestyle. If the Germans weren't building guns and battleships in the 1910s, they could have been like the Americans and had mechanized agriculture and an automobile for 1 in 6 families


Stop blowing up stone age tribesmen in Afghanistan and think about spending that 600 billion a year (or 6 trillion per decade) eliminating the national debt or to spend on your pipe dreams (I doubt the High Speed Rail is even economically plausible but it would do more to stimulate the economy of rural communities and towns than building tanks)

Muslims actually love America. They dream of going there. Everywhere else for them is just a stopover.
