Personally, I only hate people who hate me first, with a precious few exceptions.
A strong or exaggerated sense of masculinity stressing attributes such as physical courage, virility, domination of women, and aggressiveness.

Stop with these hateful threads. You are not doing any good on these forums. I'm surprised you're still here.edit on 21-7-2012 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)
That's right. Let us kill each other for nothing...while they hide in the bunker safe from the chaos.
Or on their moon base, or whatever the hell you want to believe. Doesn't matter. We're pretty screwed if we don't get our heads out of the sand and take control of our society and put an end to this tyranny and madness.

Nations are fabrications of necessity as a result of our territorial nature, and refined through propaganda.
The reality is that we are all human beings living on Earth and that we are essentially creating near psychopathic fantasies in order to justify utterly horrific barbarism against each other.

Is that so ?
I agree with it. And I propose you stop your country from invading mideast.
And if you can not , then don't defend the invasions at least.
They got us brainwashed with fictional concepts, we divide and label everyone arbitrarily. We justify various actions against one group, while act completely differently towards another group for whatever mental justification is necessary to accept something that probably isn't acceptable without those justifications.

Are we talking about Israel or Iran here?
Would it shock you to find out it applies to both?

Your people attacked us. Maybe if you didn't want us over there, you could have shot Bin Laden yourself.
If it was Russia or Japan, we're the first people you would have come to for help. As long as you don't need us for something, you don't like us. Is that fair?

That's why I am forced to say it's some sort of secretly agreed upon stratagem.
Get all of the cannon fodder riled up over complete fantasy, justify the commission of illegal and heinous acts, and allow the population to demand that commission and to undertake it themselves.
If I went to any nation on Earth right now, and walked down the street of any city, among the populace, I would meet interesting and friendly peoples whom I could interact positively with. I have never been to a place where I wasn't treated with great hospitality, even in the USA or Mexico, places where people claim things are pretty bad.
So why would I want to hate those people because of what some elite douche said to provoke us into death and destruction? No way, I think about it for a minute and decide 100% against all of this nonsense.
Heck, I can't think of any political leaders that don't saber rattle. How else could they get into office as all of the propaganda requires them to "keep up the veneer of hostility and machismo".

There isn't enough war to justify all of this global military build-up. This arms race, so to speak.
They are plotting something very negative for mankind....obviously.
What else are they gonna do with all these weapons?

And the ignorance about the wealth and support of Saudi Arabia behind OBL.
And forgetting which country helped the Taliban rise and stand against soviet union.

Seems to me OBl got "support" from a myriad of places like Iran, and Pakistan

Nope people have not forgotten Iran, and Pakistan Vevak,and ISi who helped the "taliban".
Haven't seen any wisdom in the thread so far except some people playing the victim card in the ME which has been no different than any other day for the last 2000 years.
Nayif complained that over the past two years Iran has hosted Saudis (all Sunnis) -- including Osama bin Laden's son Ibrahim -- who had contacts with terrorists and worked against the Kingdom. SAG considered this aggressive action a breach of the 2001 security agreement between the two nations. The SAG has informed Iran through its ambassador and the MFA, asking the GOI to hand over these Saudis. Nayif recalled that after the operations in Khobar in 1996, the SAG tried to open channels with Iran and tried to improve relations during Khatami's presidency. He himself had met personally with Iranian National Security Secretary General Dr. Hassan Rohani (Iran's Supreme Council on National Security) and had signed a security agreement in which Iran promised to show respect and not take any actions inside or outside Iran against the Kingdom.
