"United we stand" But even the greatest unified front cannot be invincible if it is united behind false premises. Like the vietnam war ( Frequent Winds ring a bell) or the Iraq war. And yeah i AM a "lone wolf" in my opinions and belief. I don't accept anybody's opinions unquestioningly. Can YOU stomach the responsibility of forming your own belief? Oh and BTW there is NOTHING wrong with being American. Thinking that America is better than all nations , however, IS wrong. Just as it would be for ANY OTHER NATION to have the same illusions of grandeur. Love for all, Hatred for none | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Your points are generally hate filled rhetoric about the 'evilness" of others. To me that is the quintessential copout. It is the last resort of those who desperately cling to their beliefs in the face of rationality and logic. Unimpressive, pointless and blatantly indicative of the dubious footing of your opinions. I happen to be a radio show host ( howard stern-esque i would call it). In my time as a DJ, i have done shows on Pak-India relations, the intolerance of religious parties, gender discrimination, religious discrimination, minority rights. traditional dogma, military rule, alcohol and drug use among the youth, sexuality and promiscuity among the youth and a wide variety of socially sensistive topics. I openly discuss, debate and promote freedom of expression and religion, ethnic and gender equality, and MOST OF ALL DEMOCRACY. And i do it UNARMED, with NO ORGANIZATIONAL BACKING and ON THE RECORD. I NEVER speak of destruction or of armed resistance. I NEVER speak of punitive measures to deal with issues. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY i NEVER claim to have a monopoly on the truth. You are right in saying that there is a certain risk involved in such public display of progressive opinions. It is a sad situation in Pakistan that make my friends constantly advise me to "tone it down". What YOU say is precisely the government sanctioned line ( there's a good little mindless "patriot"). What "I" say is often contrary to MY government, putting me and my family at risk. So you may call me a coward all you wish.. but "I" challenge the establishment , YOU merely agree to what they say. I derive my OWN opinions, whereas you agree with the "party line" and defend it even in the face of rationality. I risk censure, loss of my job, arrest and aggression from fundamentalists, whereas you risk NOTHING. And yet you somehow or the other manage to find it proper to call ME a coward? Little man i know more, think more freely and influence the world in favor of peace FAR MORE than you do. You think that an unimportant fellow debating on a website calling me a coward could possibly get my blood fired up? hahahahahahahahaha.. sure it does :P Oh btw about defending Islam.. listen i don't defend terrorism or any of the other stupidity and cruelty committed in its name. I just happen to know that YOUR view of Islam is ignorant and prejudicial. I only seek to defend a religion against false impression.. sort of like how i defend christianity against prejudice and ignorance in Pakistan ( you forget that half my family are danish protestants.. as my mother is - she never converted to Islam). Trust me i would do the same for Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Paganism, Wicca, and ANY OTHER RELIGION that was falsely villified. That's called objectivity. Try it sometime you mental midget.

| Listening (and reading) to the bickering and name-calling between you guys is what America's biggest problem today. We cannot have discussions that don't turn into personal name-calling; we still engage in political labeling of those whom do not agree with us individually or as a whole; and yet we expect the rest of the world to respect us. All of us are entitled to our own viewpoints; so why does all this insulting between you guys accomplish? Not a damn thing. just state your position and the reasons for it on any given thread, and be done with it. If you are thinking that " he started it first" argument works, it doesn't. Just don't react. Please stop this useless bitching between yourselves- you're only advertising your own levels of ignorance by engaging in it. For guys who claim to have the education that you do, start acting like it! | |||||||||||||||||||||

It is so easy to lump anybody who doesn't agree with you into the opposite camp isn't it? Does it cross your mind that people can be against terrorism, violence and intolerance WITHOUT thinkin that america is doing the right thing? Or are you merely another ape who is incapable of understanding the concept of objectivity and neutrality. I don't like killing.. and i don't care WHO does it. It is an equally reprehensible method of solving problems REGARDLESS of which side does it. Martin Luther King got it right. He criticized the american government for its policies of discrimination and violence against black people. Did that make him unpatriotic? Hell no. But of course the administration of his time tried to make him look as dirty as possible ( to hide their own inadequacies ). The middle ground is always attacked from BOTH SIDES making it the most dangerous place to be. Love for all, Hatred for none | ||||||||||||||||||||||
