Bush and U.S. Foreign Policy

That wasn't exactly what I was referring to. My bad. Let me clarify: If you cannot refer to other ethnical groups in a non-pejorative way, then you're a rude person. And a racist.

Besides, now you're confusing liberals with liberals. If people are from Canada or the Czech Republic they are hardly liberals in the sense that they are supporting the US Democratic party (this is my perception of who is considered liberal in the US, correct me if I'm wrong). Support or objection to a war does not make a person liberal.[/quote


First off Darkies is not a racist term second of all i am Jamacian how can i be racist ?
During slavery it was the Conseritives leadership that thought that slaves ought not to be paid anything where as Democratic leadership though that slaves ought to be paid some small minimal money for there hardship of endentured servitude.

 

Being Jamacian doesnt mean you can't be racist, good grief!

I am Jewish, I can't be anti semetic? Sure I could, if I didn't like my religion. Something tells me Micheal Jackson is a racist :}

So, if the oil is not going to the US, where is the STOLEN oil suppose to be going? We spend one billion a month just in Afkanistan, any idea what the war in Iraq has cost us to date?

 

Excuse me? Darkies is a racist term. It's derogatory.

Well, if that's the case then from my point of view he surely doesn't do a very good job getting the information across. I agree though that sometimes it might be hard to tell since we're just reading what he typed.

 

If darkies is so derogatory, then why is it socially acceptable to refer to dark-skinned people of African, Caribbean, East Indian, etc. descent as blacks? If that is so o.k, then why don't people refer to others of Asian descent as yellows or people of Indian descent as browns?

 

Excuse me - I have always thought that it is NOT socially acceptable to refer to dark-skinned people of African, Caribbean, East Indian, etc. descent as blacks. Which society are you talking about?

 

The same one that reveres Oprah Winfrey and Chris Rock (they use it all the time) and that will call a sports team the Redskins.

 

Sigh
Don't get me wrong i think everyone should be able to vote. Darkies and Whities and everyone inbetween. My point is don't expect that anything will actually change as a result of it. Voting is simply to make people feel good inside because it make you think that we live in a free country.
Oh by the way me and my friends refer to each other as darkies and niggas all the time. It's not racist at all. Im not racist i hate everyone.

 

Hey, I am racist AND sexist - I am a Caucasian female who has made a decision based on both race and gender and I have chosen to procreate with a Caucasian male.

People have been making the very same choices for thousands of years and I have yet to hear anyone complain. Goes to show that racism and sexism are not necessarily bad. Everything depends on the context you present it in.

 

So enough of the racism talk
What about us foreign policy ?
I love it. Its right on !

 

There is alot of support for Bush in Eastern Europe because
he helped smash those commie pinkos !

 

I have to say that I do not beleave what I am reading. It does not matter if this war is wrong or right. What matters is that the our armed forces all went over there to do there jobs knowing that some of them would not come home to there familys. All the armed forces that has went there all needs our support. Some of you might say that the USA came into other wars late and only after it hurt us in some way. All I have to say to that is think of what would have happend if we did not come at all. Every one puts the USA down but who is the first people they call on when they need something? We may not be right in every thing we do but please tell me what country is.

So stop fighting about if this war is right or wrong and think about all the brave men and lady's over there that will not come home no matter where they are from. That is what is what matters the most.

 

Of course its sad when one dies in war, but as a veteran, I can tell you that I knew EXACTLY the risks when I signed up.

It amazes me that folks from many nations, including mine, the USA, are taken hostage then beg for their nation to abandon the cause just for them, their life. Didnt they know the risks prior to going? And since they were in the wrong place at the wrong time, a whole nation is to flee the cause they got into (spanish)....

I am not so special, and if taken hostage I would know that no words of mine will get my nation to change, so I would not drop my character and think about it later. Prior to my departing to a war zone, my affairs would be in order, including letting my family know I may not return...

 

There would be no war and many thousands iraqi civilians would still live ?

 

I doubt that, Saddam gassed his own people.

We have footage of him shooting Iraqi citizens in the back of the head...that was silly to say.

 

then for example why doesnt US invade China ? they are openly executing people on football playgrounds too

 

Ya, China is Communist. What happened to the big, bad Commie threat???

 

Well, armed forces are just that...armed. They knew what they were getting into when they signed up. The Iraqis did not sign anything. They are the victims. They need our support. We need to make sure that they did not and do not die unnecessarily. If Saddam is killing them, I cannot possibly believe that the best you can do is to go over there and kill them instead (of course I know that the civilians are not the primary object of the war, but when you're entering a war, you know exactly what's going to happen - civilians will die). To defeat a monster, you don't need to become one.

 

The US trades with it as much as it can! (while quietly writting down somewhere that China is the bad guy and violates human rights)

 

And China doesn't violate human rights????!!!!

If there is American isolationism, the Chinese are living in a dark closet, even getting intel from them is a battle

 

Ugh, yeah. Why be the best friends with them when it comes to trade then? Why have stores literally FULL of products from China? When all of them have possibly been made by people who were supressed? Isn't that in a roundabout way encouraging violating of human rights by ignoring the issue?
