The Two Towers Hits the Net
tfreport writes "The Drudge Report is reporting that The Two Towers has already began to be file swapped online. This is four months before the movie is set to debut! An executive in New York promised if this is indeed part of the film that they would be punishing anyone and everyone that downloads the film or distributes it to the full extent of the law."
I am doing something decent about it. I'm refreshing our memories of what happened, just by bringing it up.
Nevermind the fact that the US is full of crap lately with their "war on terrorism", but let's look at why mankind is so intent on killing each other on our only planet.
Now.. why is it you choose to post as AC?
hmmmm?

"Assholes appeasers like you caused the Jewish holocaust 50 years ago and now you're at it again."
If I recall correctly, it was the formation of a government based on a religious belief that one nation (at that time) was the only one allowed to survive, and all others, including the jews, were to be crushed. This was primarily attributed to one man, whose hatred for the jews was apparent, but not his only motive and tool he wielded to gain power.
"Why is it so hard for you bleeding heart left-wing liberals to understand that Iraq and Saddam, along with Syria and Iran, are at the heart of the clash of cultures that's been brewing in the Middle East since the creation of the State of Israel and is about to spread all over the world?"
Can you illustrate some concrete examples of how either cultures you mention are spreading to the rest of the world in any great capacity, beyond the fruitions of your over-active imagination? Yes, it's true that the "ideals" and beliefs have become more widespread than ancient followers of either culture would have ever hoped, but come on. There still remains a pretty solid system of checks and balances.
"What I am talking about is the clash between a culture of religious totalitarian islamic zealots to whom human life has no value and the Western Culture based on the respect for human rights, the religion of love for one's neighbour and democracy."
Western culture is not the only culture that respects human life. What about the chinese, the japaenese, or any of the other asian regions? How about AFrica? Do they count too? (I state they do count, just for the record.)
"Now, the State of Israel admittedly has her faults as a nation, but what nation doesn't? The fact remains that Israel is the only Western democracy in the Middle East and for the sake of the rest of the continent must remain so at all costs. Iraq and Syria are both sworn to annihilate the State of Israel. To everyone else than you liberals it is obvious that Saddam is trying VERY HARD to get his hands on weapons of mass destruction in order to strike against Israel and the Western civilization."
I'm not sure what point you're making here... The United States has been clamering for months, if not years, that Saddam has been collecting weapons of mass destruction. What point are you making that none of us are grasping?
"The conflict of these two civilizations is inevitable and if you don't want to end up on the losing side you will support whatever means it takes to counter the Islamic threat."
Any conflict in this world is not tolerable, no matter what the reasons are behind it. Why must we kill each other in the name of a god? We're all human, and we all deserve the right to live in peace.
