That should be obvious.

Wow.
.. .. .. Wow. mike "Jessica Taylor" wrote in message ... Unfortunately, Mr. Regish seems to only want to go after the terrorists who are either already dead or only happen to have trained in the same country that the dead hijackers trained in. If radicals want to kill you, why would you only want to go after the radicals in one geographic location at the moment? |

... Actually, you made a blanket generalization that generalizations are offensive. Are you kidding me? You are seriously thinking that debating the philosophical merits of "never say never" is relevant here? Now you are making another generalization about "anyone with a proper upbringing." Are you offended? If not, then so what? If so, then you have simply proved my point. Either way, I fail to see how that helps your cause. If you can't comprehend this, then I believe it is hopeless to try to explain the specifics of the situation to you. That's not nice, Pete. What's not nice? I made a simple, factual statement. It's impossible to explain higher level concepts to someone who does not yet understand the fundamentals. It's like trying to teach calculus to someone that doesn't even understand basic arithmetic yet. You don't even understand the underlying concepts. Incorrect. You already admitted that you don't. How can my statement now be incorrect? Pete |

... The comparison of sharing one's experience with others in a public forum to mugging, stealing, and murdering is quite impressive, if not eccentric. I'm sorry. I didn't realize that using such a graphic analogy would be so offensive to your tender sensibilities. Try this one instead: Suppose a little girl wants to have a tea party. She has a desire to both a) pour and consume imaginary tea from very tiny, doll-sized cups, and b) engage in friendly, witty conversation with her doll friends. Does the fact that she wants to drink imaginary tea negate the fact that they also want to have a conversation with her dolls? Do we decide that she is not a conversationalist, simply because she is also a drinker of imaginary tea? Why you fail to comprehend this, I can't say. But the fact remains, the exact example is irrelevant. Whether I talk about a murderer or someone attending a tea party, the point is that if a person has two motivations, they are BOTH valid and open for criticism or comment. Having one motivation in no way makes a second motivation irrelevant or nonexistent. But you like to toss around words like idiotic, so suit yourself. Anyone here, even those who rarely agree with me, can attest to the fact that I do *not* "like to toss around words like idiotic". I use them very rarely, and only when they seem clearly applicable. In other words, if the shoe fits... Pete |

You are seriously thinking that debating the philosophical merits of "never say never" is relevant here? I was pointing out what you said. Now you are making another generalization about "anyone with a proper upbringing." Are you offended? If not, then so what? Just pointing out that you don't mind being offensive.

It's like trying to teach calculus to someone that doesn't even understand basic arithmetic yet. You can get off your condescending "I'm more educated than you" high horse. You proclaim how generalizations are offensive and should be avoided while making generalizations. You don't even understand the underlying concepts. Incorrect. You already admitted that you don't. How can my statement now be incorrect? Because your statement is false. |

bunch of rambling analogies snipped to conserve bandwidth Don't worry, Pete, no offense taken, although your imaginary dolls and murder/usenet posting analogies are quite humorous to read! I did appreciate the chuckle, so thank you. |

You are the one who could not understand how generalizations are offensive. That's the underlying concept you don't understand, by your own admission. If my statement is false, it is only because you lied. Pete |

Many countries in the middle east, Europe, and yes even in the USA. You are perhaps of the mindset that you can talk reason with those who want to kill Americans. Nope. The best thing is to identify and kill them. And people like that will always be somewhere in the world just like there will always be criminals. Accept that fact and be prepared to defend our country (which means killing them first) and we will stay free. Ron Lee -- Enemy Combatant http://itsnotallbad.com/ |

Perhaps we can convince all the camel ****in' Bedoins to go to Mecca at the same time and then give them a couple of well placed nukes for company? Yeah, we'll have a bit of PR to deal with, but with a bit of work, we should be able to spin it to our advantage... The worst that can happen is that some countries will hate us... Oh, wait a minute... That hate us *already*... Hmmmm... Once you look at it that way, it doesn't seem like there really is *any* downside to it... |

Yeah. I remember when they all actually LIKED us there for a while. That was
right up until about the time W made it obvious that he was going into Iraq no matter what Sadaam did. Planned on it all along. That's when the world started hating us. Hopefully they know that not all Americans are to blame. mike "Grumman-581" wrote in message news ![]() Oh, wait a minute... That hate us *already*... Hmmmm...
