Hey Alph hows it going?

I just woke up and got to do that whole work thing you know.

If you feel the need to to try and coral me into one group or another fine. I'm not going to argue with you. I made my statement and I neither support the war not do I want to choose sides.

Look you started the thread and I pointed out that:

You appear to have a better understanding of the global situation and want posters to behave as you see fit. You have stated as the OP that you are "ASHAMED OF YOUR FELLOW ATS MEMBERS" and that is a problem since it makes you selfish.

That is not an ad hominem on my part but instead is a general observation of what shame is based on and you are the one that chose your title. You selfishly wish posters would all agree with you or at least only post messages that fit your sense of political correctness.

In your profile you wrote...

Large people at Burger King who order tons of food and then ask for a diet coke!

What business is that of your's what anyone orders? That makes you judgmental as well as selfish. "Large People" is your idea of a politically correct way of calling someone FAT or Obese. So your sick of the war but don't stop to consider that your prejudice against FAT PEOPLE and think that is a joke.

Slay, I'm not putting you in a coral though I'm sure you meant to say corral. You want it both ways and that doesn't play out in the real world. Pretend for a moment that I have a thyroid condition and wind up obese you have already made up your mind that "LARGE PEOPLE" are in a group that you admittedly "Don't Like" I can go on but it is not my intent to harp on you. I am merely pointing out that he who lives in a glass house should not throw stones especially when he judges people regularly.

Yeah I sometimes wish I didn't know as much as I do.

Ahhh I wish I was that care free teenager I once was growing up on the beaches of California again.

People always seem to choose sides in a conflict then there are those like myself and others here at ATS {Just read the vast majority of the replies} that agree with me and do not want to choose sides and agree with the fact that war is stupid and innocent woman and children die..

It seems to me and is quite apparent to everyone reading this that you are one of the few who have an issue with somebody expressing their dislike and hatred for warfare.

My son spent a year in Iraq. I supported him not the war. I have also served as my father and his father before him. Yeah so I hate warfare. I have good reason; I know what it’s like. It is said that soldiers pray for peace the most for it is they who will have to fight.


So it’s easy to sit back and be an armchair General and watch people die on TV or on the net when the real tragedy are the young and old who are on the receiving end of bullets, bombs and rockets. Even a “Smart Bomb” spreads shrapnel.

Nobody will ever win this argument on the web.

As far as my profile goes.
Don’t like it?
Don’t read it!

As to who should make them vacate the area, that should be up to the world community to enforce, if the inhabitants can't get along they should be evicted. But not by the US or any other single country acting alone. It would require the UN to enforce the eviction of the Israelis and Palestinians from the disputed territory.

Here you need to take your own advice about your profile. If you don't like political posts, war posts or whatever else that you don't like then simply stick to the UFO threads.

Now as for this post and thread you started it. You are the one who said, "I'm sick of the war! And I'm ashamed of my fellow ATS members." Now what that tells me is that you have taken the do nothing stance in this case regarding WAR or more descriptively correct "Death Camp" It is the weakest position available since it does nothing to actually stop the incursion.

ashamed = 1 a: feeling shame, guilt, or disgrace b: feeling inferior or unworthy

So if I state that I believe the Israelis cause is just then your suggesting that I am a disgrace or inferior are you not? It is in the title man. I'm an ATS member and I happen to believe that the Israelis have gone over the top. So now you feel justified by branding me a disgrace or inferior like Hitler did to the Jews because I expressed my opinion?

Then the rest of your reply is just a continued guilt trip with the old reliable out of, "it’s easy to sit back and be an armchair General" bit. Here is one for you to put in your pipe and smoke; I want the thing to stop as much as anyone and this is a clear cut tragedy and the Israelis have taken matters to far.

You think that the people that are "agreeing" with you are some sort of global majority? Think again since the USA is grossly outnumbered by 6 BILLION people (add the population of the USA to GBR) and we still don't even get to 500 MILLION. Have you seen the protests all around the world? You want peace but your government gives weapons (that our taxes pay for) to Israel and other nations to go to WAR.

You do realize that you just invoked a call to the NWO or "Global Government" don't you? At a minimum I can't afford another layer of taxation. I'm surprised by your reply to say the least.

Isreal has a death sentance hanging over its head. If Mexico was lobbing rockets in to the U.S., would we just say "mabey we all need to do a group hugg, sing kumbia, and think pure thoughts and then they won't blow up our citizens, schools, and do such awfull things."? The Jews found out the hard way, big time by not having the intrinsic power of a nation state. As they are murdered by Hamas which makes our mafiia "murder inc" look like a debating class. I would want our government to go into Mexico, hunt those who murder my people down, and kill them. Any one got a problem with that? Given Mexico is run by the drug cartels all the way to the top, don't hold your breath.

In the late 1980's while I was in the middle east, I saw a market blown apart with particlized tissue/bone that hit me, and the explosion was about perhaps a block or so away, give or take. I was also hit by what looked like piece's of a human hand, a small one perhaps a child. Only three times in my life have I been defiled by experiencing what can only call abject, unfocused rage. This event I mentioned, when I heard about 9/11, and when I was tortured. And when I say torture I don't mean wussy water boarding. As a result of that event I had to no longer be available for any field activity. And I was never even a field agent! I was an analyst (and remain one part time). But the M* F* who did what they did to me is the reason I remain crippled to this day.

As your spouting your opinion remember two things

A. these are your words and interpretations
b. I never said you were nor called you any of those things.

your entire reply is coming from between your ears. It’s a pretty scary place to live within one’s own mind.

Title of thread: I'm sick of the war! And I'm ashamed of my fellow ATS members.

ATS Member Alpha_Magnum .... YES

Define ASHAMED:

1 a: feeling shame, guilt, or disgrace b: feeling inferior or unworthy
2: restrained by anticipation of shame

Is the original poster ashamed of himself?
NO.
Is he ashamed of someone else?
YES.
Who?
He is ashamed of his fellow ATS members.
What does that mean?
He considers his fellow ATS members to be shameful, guilty and or a disgrace or even inferior or unworthy.

Hey great talking with you now I have to go to work
I will back later

I'll leave you with this now famous quote I would follow his advise because now more than ever it really does apply

We (as in all posters) can and will go back and fourth on current events as part of normal discourse. I believe that if you have issues with the other posters you should just ignore them but wanting people to post according to your particular wishes is pretty rediclous.

So then revenge is the answer! Be sure to get your revenge on the proper people! Never spare the children since they might also seek revenge!

Here is a quote that I enjoyed:

I am a member of the human race and if there are Aliens or Ghosts or a Great Spirit how do I explain this nightmare?

Huh?

WELL?

I'm talking to you!

yeah YOU!

My only excuse would be that me and my fellow human beings are
Pathetic!

When you start a thread with, "And I'm ashamed of my fellow ATS members." that is essentially an ad hominem since we ATS members all get a label from the word ashamed = 1 a: feeling shame, guilt, or disgrace b: feeling inferior or unworthy ...

You end it with, "Me and my fellow human beings are
Pathetic!"

Just speak for yourself in the future since your own self image is admittedly that you are pathetic and that means "pitifully inferior or inadequate" (for those that didn't know). There are a few here that want to see it all burn but leave everyone else out of it.
