c. Political Statement

I win.

EDIT: This is my first post in the political forum by the way, I use to love talking politics in Off-topic, but haven't done much of it since it was shunted into its own category.

 

[gh0st]

Just wait for cptsterns comprehensive list of grievances against America.

 

[Kommie]

oh boy this one is just asking for it, I will just sit here with my cheesenips waiting for the show.

I didn't know the smurfs were so hateful to the american elderly.

 

[Mechagodzilla]

Yes, extremists are bad.

Point?

 

[qckbeam]

And your point is what now? Would you like me to comprise a list of all white, Christian terrorists we've had in the last century or so?

Funny how you forget to include things like say, I don’t know, the Oklahoma City building bombing perhaps?

Answer honestly and objectively...Please keep your prejudices out of this.

You're telling other people to keep their prejudices out of it? That's funny.

 

[gh0st]

Lets hear some more.

 

[Tr0n]

Well that test sucked.

 

[Absinthe]

It's just a bunch of selective questions geared towards a very specific conclusion. Give me some time and I could produce a very similar test that replaces "Muslim" with any other religion/political group.

But nobody likes extremism any way, so isn't this kind of a moot point?

 

[Absinthe]

Well that test sucked.

Yes you are...and you should be banned. :|

You people gotta make them harder then that. :|

 

[The Monkey]

#17: Good point. Didn't know that the US overthrew Australia's leader in 1975, though.

 

[Tr0n]

Well it's safe to say that stern won that one.

 

[KoreBolteR]

i thought it was going to be a proper test , lol.
now now cpt , i think we have too much hatred against the us of A , LOL

 

[Tr0n]

i thought it was going to be a proper test , lol.
now now cpt , i think we have too much hatred against the us of A , LOL

Hatred or not all of what he just posted is true.

I advise you to go get some history lessons.

 

[CptStern]

god, how many times do I have to say this? I dont hate americans in fact I have american relatives and friends ..thx tron

http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/articles/20 Years of Cover-Up1.html

Some good reads about the 1975 coup in Australia.

Also another note...Remember we gave lots of money and weapons to taliban and al queda during the Afghan war that involved the Soviets.

 

[Hapless]

Stern, let's say we didn't veto the Iranian resolution, just hypothetically. Would you have supported military action then to take him out?

 

[Tr0n]

Stern, let's say we didn't veto the Iranian resolution, just hypothetically. Would you have supported military action then to take him out?

What about the other 8 questions? :dozey:

if the queen had balls she'd be king

 

[Steve]

if the queen had balls she'd be king

Shut DOWN.

 

[Tr0n]

if the queen had balls she'd be king

I don't get it. :|

 

[Absinthe]

I think Stern just illustrated how stupid and one-sided these "tests" are, regardless of their factual accuracy.

 

[Steve]

I don't get it. :|

I'll put it this way: I think Stern thinks hypothetical questions are stupid.

 

[CptStern]

I don't get it. :|

heheh it's pointing out that "if" is of no consequence ..you can apply "if" to anything but that doesnt make a lick of difference because it's pure speculation which leads to inaccurate assumptions and ill-contrived conclusions

EDIT: what "He who is steve" said ...man your name is long

 

[Mechagodzilla]

Or your could put it this way:

Supposing Stern liked hypothetical questions, what would he have posted instead?

 

[CptStern]

heheh ...now my brain hurts :E

 

[KoreBolteR]

god, how many times do I have to say this? I dont hate americans in fact I have american relatives and friends ..thx tron

i obviously mean the government.... :|

unless you have friends and relatives in the government hehe

good ol uncle george bush

 

[firemachine69]

All A.

 

[Steve]

EDIT: what "He who is steve" said ...man your name is long

That's what makes it so special when people take the time to type it! :thumbs:

 

[Hapless]

What am I supposed to say? "OMFG, those questions and answers are teh stoopid?!" The only one I disagree with is the 500,000 children one, as that is a matter of some dispute both in the actual number and whether we were responsible due to the imposition of sanctions or Saddam was responsible for continuing to resist abiding by U.N. Resolutions.

When I first read this thread, I was going to post a similar list of questions with a serial killer theme, as most of those are white males in a certain age group, yada yada yada, but that was too much work and I had to get up early this morning. Racial profiling is ignorant. Behavior profiling is not. We profile behaviors. And when I say we, I mean my department. I can't speak for the Bent Armpit, Mississippi Police Department And Justice of the Peace.

And I was just interested to see what Stern's answer would be to my question. I know he would never sidestep anything

 

[Tr0n]

That's what makes it so special when people take the time to type it! :thumbs:

I just call you Steve...It solves that problem.
