the liberals are fighting the islamists in egypt now. who knows who will win, but it means the entire population isn't the taliban, which some clueless westerners seem to believe
likewise in syria
and how will the usa know who the islamists are and who will embrace democracy?
well, if you will recall, we gave them their comm equipment (wink, wink)
if you have to deal with enough morons like you, it gets very tedious
i'm not going to argue with you, because it's like arguing with a creationist. same fervent belief and desire in the impossible and willful ignorance of the most basic concepts of reality
i'm sorry, but that's some really ignorant crap you believe
the only valid form of government is a form of government that submits itself to the will of the people it rules. self rule. it doesn't get better than that. now there can be a better KIND of democracy, i buy that, like say virtual democracy. virtual democracy has problems, but i'm willing to believe there's still a better form of democracy out there
but what i don't buy are these bullshit concepts where government is somehow dissolved and everything is shiny happy land. fucking bullshit. people need government. you heard me: people need government. without it, it's just rule by the guy with the biggest group of friends with the biggest guns. if you don't understand that, you don't understand much and should refrain from having cotton headed naive ideas that ignore basic human psychology and certain ugly, unremoveable aspects of basic human character
there's always been utopianists, in ever era, in every land. i suppose we have to suffer the fools
now mod me down for not putting up with the aspergers socially stunted anarchist/ no government/ free market fundamentalist morons. you heard me. now give me my -1
i think that is a hilarious revelation in the dichotomy between left wing douchebags and right wing douchebags
1. a right wing douchebag will claim provenance over the land, even when everyone has moved past their antiquated values that, in reality, never really existed except in myth. therefore, they think secession actually has a chance, because it nicely dovetails with their bullshit belief they are somehow more authentically american. they honestly believe, if they are in a room of 100 americans, and 99 claim that they value {X}, and this right wing douchebag alone claims belief in value {Y}, that they alone are still somehow more genuinely american, and wrap themselves in the flag. it's blindness, egocentrism and selfishness, in ripe psychological display
2. meanwhile, a left wing douchebag will easily sever all allegiance to their homeland, revealing a cowardice to not stand and fight for their beliefs. they think lip service to insane fringe thought is enough, and that fighting for the hearts and minds of their fellow americans is besides the point. then they will flee at the earliest possible convenience, revealing how shallow their beliefs really are. as long as they think that flight is more important than fight, they will always be just empty flakes on the fringe
left wing douchebags and right wing douchebags: you have to hand it to them, their particular strain of douchebagginess is at least unique
absolutely, abortion of female fetuses or infanticide of girls in india and china is a huge problem. as bad as how the muslim world treats women? possibly. so your point is well taken
skewing the sex ratios in india and china is a huge problem those societies really need to fix
i would prefer a moderate religious person over an atheist zealot, any day
the problem with religion is the zealotry. the point in getting rid of religion is more moderation. but if, as with your scumbag attitude, you get rid of the religion and yet you still have zealots, nothing has improved
so kindly fuck off, shitbag. your attitude sucks. change it
The largest religious minority in Pakistan after Muslims, is that of the of Christians. This includes Anglicans, Protestants, Catholics, Armenian Orthodox, Assyrian/Chaldean, smaller numbers of Nestorians and more recent Evangelical sects. They are represented in many fields of Pakistani society and have to some degree, achieved higher positions in the government, bureaucracy and businesses. The Pakistani government has reserved quotas in educational institutes and reserved seats in government to ensure appropriate representation of the Christian community. Famous Pakistani Air Force pilot Cecil Chaudhry is a Pakistani Christian and was credited with numerous kills receiving the PAF awards for gallantry and bravery.
but then
Due to forced conversions, extortion and kidnapping of girls Hindus are fleeing to India. The kidnapping and rape of a teenage Hindu girl, Manisha Kumari, on August 7, 2012 is said to have caused widespread concern among the community. On 10 August 2012 around 250 Hindus refugees from Pakistan crossed over to India.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
the honorable thing to do is stay and fight for your country. which is why i hate on liberal americans who whine about fleeing to canada should republicans win
but staying and fighting assumes an honorable opponent, and a numerical balance
when you are vastly outnumbered, and the enemy has no problem committing vile acts that go unpunished, it is time to run, and live to fight another day, as an expat

what a loser
The only thing that's sick is your mindless cynicism
to the syrian rebels months ago, i thought i remember reading that the USA announced it was still going to send communications equipment
yeah, here we go:

the usa has been providing assad-less commlinks to syrians for awhile now
if you hadn't noticed, there's a particularly loud virulent strain of "oppose all common sense progress as evil" in the USA
i know such stubborn blockheadedness isn't unique to the USA. but they seem more powerful here. how do other countries quash this loud ignorant sort?

duh
your cynicism means what exactly do you think? how do accept the unacceptable?
you fight for what's right in this world. or you're a shitbag. you choose
nepotism
plain and simple
stratfor is a den of well-connected douchebags engaging in questionable activities and charging way too much for their "services"
prosecute them

than being a religious minority in Pakistan
Shia, Sikh, Hindu, or Christian
the West should just allow all religious minorities free passage out of Pakistan
they're being hunted
right, another form of blame of the victim and not being responsible for your own actions
disgusting
we treated the native americans horribly
or were you trying to get me to deny the obvious in ethnocentric blindness, and therefore this allows middle eastern cultures to deny the obvious?
is that the way you think things should work?
if you told americans they were fat, you'd get a bunch of denial too
doesn't change the fact that americans are on average too fucking fat
i'm sorry you seem to think we need to show sensitivity to the blind stupidity of various cultures
sometimes the truth is ugly. deal with it. because i'm not certainly going to water down the truth. you play that loser's game
they treat their women like cattle. it's disgusting. all denial to the contrary is the real part of the problem
