   Not the STFU Bin Laden - Rant thread
ArticleSTFU Bin Laden!! Just because 19 of you insane bastards can sneak into our country, be trained by us, and blow up a few of our airplanes dosn't prove anything. (directed at the how much we spend on our military comment) If we wanted to we could level your entire country with one button, one person. But we don't be cause we're not the unholy chauvinistic monsters that you make us out to be.-Matt Kincaidp.s. shut the fuck up bin laden, go drink a dirtshake and live in your hell hole.[Edited by - bzroom on September 8, 2007 6:05:29 PM]
  I don't think Bin Laden reads Gamedev.   ;  www.binladen'sabitch.net/community/forums was down..   ;AP Article is better, Reuters left out a lot.   ;  Also, this whole "War on Terror" deal is bullshit. Sure, Al Qaida managed to kill a whopping 3000 US citizens. And after that, I heard terrorist cell related to al qaida all over the place, but I still see no explosions nor see people die(Let's ignore Iraq and Afghanistan for a little while). Sure, a few potential(Hand full) cells are being rolled up, but there is still no real proof that they were actually going to execute them nor show effectiveness.Only 3000 people died. Sure, it's a horrible thing, but 25,000 people die on a daily basis from starvation alone[Source]. When compared to eachother, the whole deal is pointless. If we would spend ALL the money we're spending on pointless shit like terrorist prevention and the war in Iraq / Afghanistan, perhaps we could shave 5,000 deaths off those 25K. Still, 20K is still a lot, but it's a start.If Al Qaida was so high and mighty as they claim, there would have been constant terrorist attacks. Look at the Palestines, they managed to blow up tons of busses full of Jews, even with the strict Israelian security measures. So why can't Al Qaida manage to keep up the pace? Because they're a collection of incapable morons who blow high off the tower, but manage to get shit done. Terror isn't such a large threat to you and me as they want us to believe. Sure, there's a chance of being killed every day, but even if we would add up ALL the numbers from stopped potential bombings, the number of deaths is still hugely less than people that die in a car accident yearly, or from cancer.I'm getting sick of all this "OMFG TERRIST! OMFG WE ARE GONNA DIE!" shit. If someone decides to blow me up, I'll get blown up. So be it. And if that has to be the way I have to go, I hope I'll go in a large explosion, with my guts being splattered ALL over the fucking place.   ;  I agree, they don't really scare me. 100mph on my motorcycle scares me a lot more than al qaida. I just wish that other countries didn't look so down on the US. Sure we've done some unexcuseable things to other countries, (this is going to sound corny) but if Al qaidi would spend the effort on fixing poverty and hunger (as you mentioned) in their own country instead of bitching about how powerful the US is, maybe they wouldn't have so much to bitch about.I don't feel bad for third world countries, I say it's their own damn fault. It CERTAINLY isn't the US' fault.   ;  Al Qaida doesn't really have its own country though... unless you mean Saudi Arabia?   ;Quote:Original post by bzroomI don't feel bad for third world countries, I say it's their own damn fault. It CERTAINLY isn't the US' fault.You're selfish and arrogant. I feel bad for the third world countries. You know why these countries are so poor? Because we were plundering them during the so call 'golden age'. We took their natives and threated them like sub-humans with no rights, because their skin color was darker than ours. We couldn't see em blush, and therefor, they were animals. We(As the descendants of those who plundered 3rd WC) are responsible. Not directly, but we're still responsible to some degree.And the whole money deal isn't aimed at Al Qaida. Because they're probably not richer than you and I are. No, I meant the whole Western continent. We need to help to get rid of starvation, we need to get off our lazy asses and help these people. By giving money to (carefully selected) charity organizations that will help these people get food rations as a relieve and help them build up a proper source of food production, or by actually going to these countries to help these people, or by eating less meat and more vegetables. Yes, eating less meat means less loss of food. We basically feed a lot of perfectly consumable food to animals and then get a very small percentage of meat back.   ;  If you're refering to slavery, they sold themselves unfortunately. They ( as in blacks and other poor neighboring countrys/continents) were captured by their own people and sold for profit. And some how we're the evil ones. Why am I selfish and arogant again? Am I the one sitting around plotting destruction of other countries? I was hating on al qaida, and specifically their third world countries. And as far as I know we never captured arabs as slaves. What have we done to them that wasn't, in our opinion, a noble effort? I'm asking that seriously because I honestly can't think of anything, and at no point am I trying to be sarcastic.   ;  I hold no sympathy towards countries.But I do towards their people.You cannot blame a child born to a starving family for being born.
