Thanks for clarifying that.
With that said...Anon,<br /><br />Thanks for clarifying that.<br /><br />With that said, you're preaching to the choir. I don't need to ponder long and hard about this. I'm an ex Muslim. I know all about the death cult that is Islam. No not the misunderstanding of Islam, the actual islam is nothing but a death cult. Everyone else on this website knows and speaks out about Islam too.<br /><br />But I do understand your frustration with the mainstream BS that is fed to the public about Islam.

What I was driving at is that if he HAD said something to indicate he understood his building was attacked specifically by Islamic terrorists (maybe because he recalled the WTC was attacked by Islamic terrorists in '93 for example) that his awareness of who was attacking him, combined with the simple act of telling someone else his suspicions regarding the identy of the perpetrators, would have constituted "islamophobia" as currently defined by the terrorists themselves, islamic apologists everywhere, and by the filthy islamophillic MSM.<br /><br />Ponder it long and hard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-5337799988415914702012-11-15T00:15:19.659+00:002012-11-15T00:15:19.659+00:00A good op-ed by Caroline Glick:

The greatest advantage Obama had going into the election was not demography but the fact that the full consequences of his statist economic policies and his pro-jihadist foreign policy have not yet been felt.<br /><br />Nationalized healthcare will only be fully implemented in 2014. Americans will only begin watching old men and women die because the federal government denied them lifesaving, but expensive treatments a year from now. They will only lose their doctors due to dwindling Medicare reimbursements in a year.<br />College students who got out the vote for Obama will only find themselves doomed to low-paying jobs and a life of indebtedness as they fail year in and year out to pay off their college loans, in a year or two. And by the time they realize what it means to be saddled with a national debt of $16 trillion, they will be locked into a government-controlled economy that requires them to keep their silence or lose their livelihoods..."<br /><br />Article link:http://www.israpundit.com/archives/50569#more-50569Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-21084000413167704242012-11-14T22:35:06.846+00:002012-11-14T22:35:06.846+00:00Cultures are built on ideas.

These norms are what different societies and cultures make them out to be.<br /><br />And yes, I agree with you that the problems you point out are ingrained in the cultures of Indians, Pakistanis and blacks but what's to say that those people couldn't adopt, as their own, the culture of the West, or specifically, Canada or the US? And by culture, again, I mean ideals and not specifically dress code or way of speech.Nicoenarghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13012855640561443706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-30588494499720816492012-11-14T20:43:24.512+00:002012-11-14T20:43:24.512+00:00The reason I brought up ethnicity was because I li...The reason I brought up ethnicity was because I live in Canada where some 40 years ago the floodgates to immigration were opened. Now the convenience stores and taxi drivers are almost all Asian, ethnicity is the reason because in these societies the whole family working around the clock to support the family is the norm. Likewise you see the Sikh taxi driver in his cab 14 hours a day seven days a week so that his children can go to university. Canada is a far more egalitarian society than the US, the schools have always been totally integrated yet now with the second and third generation we have problems with black underperformance and drop-outs. The fact that all national I.Q. tests, be they the SAT's or the army show a difference of about 20% in all socio-economic classes can only be attributed to race.Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-83703954842886055532012-11-14T17:07:06.844+00:002012-11-14T17:07:06.844+00:00While I agree that a lot of people don't under...While I agree that a lot of people don't understand or don't want to understand what happened and why Muslims attacked America, you can't possibly feel disappointed about Cosgrove not worrying about the who and the what while trying to stay alive.<br /><br />Whether he knew or he didn't doesn't freakin matter.

They're the last agonizing few minutes of his life. I doubt that he ever knew the why. He doesn't say anything to indicate he knew the why. If he had known, he might have said something about it. Then perhaps the operator could have scolded him as he died about his islamophobia.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLW0jKKRXMoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-2103179117324320912012-11-14T15:58:07.358+00:002012-11-14T15:58:07.358+00:00I think it simply doesn't occur to most wester...I think it simply doesn't occur to most westerners to do the right things these days. Perhaps their parents didn't teach them to reason things through or to see the way the larger issues and ideas tend to fit together. That and the fact that terrorism essentially works like a poker in the ass when its intended victims don't tend to reason things through much.<br /><br />For example, when people see planes fly into towers they tend to go: "Oh wow, that's just terrible - especially for all those poor people trapped right there in the thick of it. And of course this is terrible for my country as a whole, and for all of us and everything. Yup. Well .. On with my life though. Gotta keep moving.<br /><br />Only that's not quite the optimal way to think about it. The optimal way is to start asking hard questions and following where they lead you. Questions like:<br /><br />1. Aside from the fact that I was not personally in the thick of that particular horror, what is the essential difference between those people and myself? <br /><br />Well, they were on a plane. Yes, I've been on a plane before... And I guess many were in high-rise buildings too ... Hmm, I've been in high-rise buildings ...hmm, anything else? Well, they were in those specific planes and buildings at specific time and on a specific date. And I, ... was not. Oh I get it. Basically, the difference between them and me is chance or random fate. All right, so it could just as easily have been me. Next question.<br /><br />2. Exactly who did this to us - to ME? And just what the fuck's their sick-ass problem, anyway? <br /><br />I believe that if more people had simply gone though the above process of reasoning things through, they would not have "moved on" and history would now be different indeed. George W. Bush would never have been allowed to get away with his horrendous "ROP" mischaracterization, the MSM would have been forced by the people to fess up, and Barack Hussein Obama would never have been elected the first time around. Instead, a modern day Charles Martel would surely have risen and whipped his skinny ass. Maybe a Charles Martel in the form of one Allen West.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-42940259705968634902012-11-14T15:36:24.824+00:002012-11-14T15:36:24.824+00:00I really do not like the word "ethnicity.&quo...I really do not like the word "ethnicity." I think it is a fudge that allows racists to communicate their racist ideas without sounding racist.<br /><br />There is race and there is culture. It's as simple as that. <br /><br />Ethnicity is supposed to be some sort of blending of the two.<br /><br />Does anyone really believe there is such a blending?<br /><br />If so, what is the mechanism of the blending?<br /><br />It reminds me of the mind/body argument in philosophy; the question being, if the mind and body are two different substances, how do they communicate?<br /><br />Descartes actually answered that question by saying the meeting of the mind and body was transmitted by the pineal gland.<br /><br />But that is just kicking the can down the road.<br /><br />The question immediately arises what does the pineal gland do to transmit the ideas of mind to the physicality of body?<br /><br />It's just stupidity?<br /><br />Now, we have other ways of explaining these things.<br /><br />We know the brain is the body. And, the information is transmitted via chemical interactions.<br /><br />Now back to the question at hand; Race and Culture.<br /><br />We as human beings produce ideas.<br /><br />Ideas exist OUTSIDE OF THE BODY.<br /><br />They are separate entities, unlike experiences within the body, they are capable of beingand shared, transmitted from one human being to another.<br /><br />That is to say, I can never know what it feels like to be inside your body. But, I can hear the ideas you share about your experience.<br /><br />Culture is made up of ideas. Ideas can be communicated and they can be judged according to their relative truth and effectiveness.<br /><br />If ideas, when applied, do not work, then we should not respect them, no matter whose culture they come from.<br /><br />95% of black people believe the government should provide them with a job.<br /><br />That belief is not the result of race. It is the result of bad ideas in black culture.<br /><br />Pastoriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169561459129778670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-38376360419023072922012-11-14T14:30:39.740+00:002012-11-14T14:30:39.740+00:00Ethnicity has a lot to do with the way people beha...Ethnicity has a lot to do with the way people behave. I am not sure what it is exactly. I don't believe there is anything inherently wrong with particular races. I am, as one would say, a person of color, however if I were an American, I wouldn't vote for Obama in a million years, even if my life depended on it.<br /><br />I have traveled a lot as a flight attendant. And I have seen different cultures. You can see a clear distinction between "white" cultures and "non white" cultures.<br /><br />I know many may perceive what I'm saying to be racist but that's not the point I'm making. I think there is a clear difference between the cultures. It is my opinion that if a person of color adopts what many perceive as the "White" culture, and what I call "civilization", they will come out to be a better person too.<br /><br />This does not mean one has to change the way one speaks or dress differently or whatever, I am simply referring to the values of freedom, personal liberty, personal responsibility etc. I think that's what sets different peoples apart.<br /><br />Sadly, a vast majority of people of my race or blacks or whatever else you have, have chosen to stick to their non civilized ways and have tried to change civilized countries and have tried to force them to adopt their ways.<br /><br />And also, sadly, a lot of the "Whites" have decided to abandon civilization and prop up so called "eastern" cultures and have tried to sell them off as superior.<br /><br />Having seen the world up close, from China to Russia to Africa to most of Europe, I can safely say that no culture exists today that is superior than that of the West (what it originally was shaped to be after the Renaissance). The rest of the world still lives a very barbaric life. The only good I saw in a lot of terrible places was what the people had adopted from the West, more specifically, from the United States.<br /><br />Anyway, people can call me racist all they want, there is a clear divide between cultures and there is clearly a better culture out there. The West is decadent now because people have abandoned their far superior culture for the BS of "foreign cultures".Nicoenarghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13012855640561443706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-62738456168066680062012-11-14T11:16:07.788+00:002012-11-14T11:16:07.788+00:00Pastorius,

They might vote to end the entitlements of others, especially if there's not enough money to go around. Gimme warfare will continue as long as it can possibly continue.<br /><br />How much does ethnicity have to do with all of this? Some, but ethnicity isn't the only factor.<br /><br />I say that ethnicity is a factor because I do not personally know a single person of color who didn't twice vote for Obama. Not a single one! And, previously, some of these people whom I personally know, voted for a conservative candidate (or a more conservative candidate). I saw one African-American family who used to support Alan Keyes swing over hard to Obama; the woman works for the federal government, the man has his own software business, and the family lives in a mansion after working their way up the ladder. <br /><br />Education, the lack thereof, is a bigger factor than ethnicity. But not for long -- I'm sad to say.<br /><br />If there is a total collapse of the economy, I believe that the blame in most people's eyes will not fall to Obama. For a lot of reasons, he is able to escape accountability and blame.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-60735682612117370652012-11-14T05:31:31.081+00:002012-11-14T05:31:31.081+00:00How on earth could this have ever happened you ask...How on earth could this have ever happened you ask. Read a book, the Bell curve. Remember the kids in high school who were just plodding along? That's normal I.Q. for you, between 90 and 110. That is exactly half the population. The other half is evenly divided between above normal and below normal. Next look up average SAT scores by ethnicity. Factor in the State,Federal and union employees who have a vested interest and you have your answer. Four more years, another 20 million on food stamps and you have such a vested interest in voting Democrat that the only chance for a change can come from a total collapse of the economy.Ciccionoreply@blogger.com
