last post i was responding to breaksny

i dont even know if your post was directed at me... it didnt really makes sense to be but heres another thought... My last post meant that mass opinion doesnt necessarily make for the right one. and it was only through fighting that slavery was abolished, women were given rights, yada yada yada.. The Al queda Terrorists at Camp XRAY are not POWs, they are not fighting from a recognized government. Say for instance, the kidnappers/torturers/videotapers of throat slashings of David Pearl, the journalist for the Wall St Journal are captured. They are not prisoners of war. they are criminals. And of course they are handcuffed. THEYRE CRIMINALS. We get handcuffed if we jump the turnstile at the train station. you dont expect people that have no qualms in blowing themselves up for their cause to be handcuffed? Of course they dont wont to be detained but theyre given food daily, probably more then they had in Afghanistan. More then any hungry person in any region. They even actually chose to go on a hunger strike. Some had to be fed intravneously so that they wouldnt starve themselves. They have religious freedom. They are not being shot at randomly in the bitter Afghan winter with no shelter. So far there have been no cases that fit to be tried under military tribunals.. Even under Taliban "rule", the people of Afghanistan were not allowed to sing, fly kites, have pets, dance or even watch tv. obviously they were not allowed to go out and speak their minds. To do anything unholy would mean death... there were people beaten with sticks until their spines were pulverized left to bleed to death on dirt floors...for flying a kite. Women can not walk alone around town. Showing ANY part of their skin, means death. Can you imagine being stooned to death? For showing an eyelid?The Al Queda terrorists at Camp Xray do not have it so bad.

Mmmm, sushi... the Dragon Roll, Spicy tuna or salmon, Sweet potato tempura, Fried ice cream, tuna or salmon sashimi, or soft shell crab. Even the carrot ginger salads are HOT the best japanese resturants goes to Nobu, Yamas and Asakusa

one of the things America stands for is freedom .. and one of those freedoms is to think as an individual and cultivate your own thoughts and opinions. there was once a time when slavery was a right, women were not allowed to vote, raping your wife was a-ok, Asians were thrown into camps, and children worked 12 hour days. If no one fought against that things would still be the same. To tell people, even if you do not agree with them, to "get the fuck out" is in itself unamerican i have way too much time at work....

when i say "you" i dont mean you yourself.. i mean "you" as in people in general im completely confused on how we ended up debating the same point...

ummm...breaksny... you misinterpreted my statement. we're arguing the same point. what i was saying was that you need to get all sides of the story... that you DO need to learn about other cultures, histories etc ...from alternate sites and sides that have an objective view, and not just the local news because, obviously, they are biased. You have to consider who owns that network. but uhh..thanks for arguing my point for me?

The US is the worlds leading superpower for a reason. Its survival of the fittest. All governments are ruthless. Whoever controls the media and mass mentality rules, ie mental imperialism. I love my country, but formulate your own opinions instead of memorizing whats dictated to you on the news at 10 on Fox or from your textbooks. No one is innocent. Choose your own propaganda

Cartier or Baume & Mercier. My fave watch, thoguh, is my everyday watch, my classic silver ESQ with silver dial with square face. (owned by the same company as Movado, same quality, cheaper prices)

There was this white comedian the other day that said "if white people landed in Africa, they would look around and say "wats wit all da fuckin mi-nore-itees?"

C2k in the Venetian, I went for Labor Day weekend, it was HOT

1. The renovations killed it 2. No energy 3. Coat check guys run scams 4. Little kids running around with glowsticks like theyre on a field trip. 5. Put your shirt on. Im sweating enough trying to get through a crowd of 8000 people, I dont need your sweat on me too 6. The music is garbage 7. If your going to lay down, get off the dance floor 8. All Exit wants is your money, they dont give a shit about anything else. Die in the staircase, its your problem. 9. If you want to do drugs, fine, but if your falling on people, completley cracked out..once again get off the dance floor 10. People that run through the crowded dance floor, like a train, screaming and plowing over you. Was i not standing there? Oh but I love the people that stop and look at you like "Hey why did you get in MY way when I stepped on you?" 11. The security either rape you at the door or dont even notice you walking though. 12. I dont drink but $16 dollars for a redbull and a spit of vodka is ridiculous. 13. $35 entrance fee, $16 redbulls, $?? undecided coatcheck fee, $5 water... for a shitty night on top of it. Can i go home now? I could go on....
