Isn't it misleading to lead people towards someones personal viewpoint?
Like the austrian corporal did, with his view of the truth?

We all do know Boroda, don't we.
Hes got pretty interesting views, don't you agree?
Think of all the little Borodas' whos taking Boroda's words as the truth.

BTW...I'm obviously right about this (I'm always right), but I'm on the same side as Fishu.  Somebody shoot me.

If I shot you, would that make me a hero?

2- Threads should remain on topic, do not "hijack" topics.

LOL, I guess that all depends on who you're asking.

The first sentence is an objective and true statement.  

"To some, the Palestinian martyrs are heroes."

It's not an objective statement at all. An objective statement would have been along the lines of: "To some, the Palestinian homicide bombers are martyrs and heroes"

The statement in the caption would be like showing an Isreali soldier and captioning it: "To some, the warriors of peace are heroes."

Didn't we already go through the issue of viewpoint?
Don't make me repeat myself please.

Use of the word martyr is not objective. It implies somebody sacrificing their life for some great cause. Subsitute matry with suicide bomber and you'd be objective.

Im surprised the BBC hasn't called for the destruction of Isreal

[SOB]

If you read the captions in a certain way, they actually do!

[Hangtime]

how about a picture of an Indian, holding custers scap at the little big horn?

"And for the slaughter of 4,300 non combatant indian women and children, the heroic braves of the sioux nation struck down the killers.. "

i'd guess the 'truth' of a pictures caption in vile circumstances like this is more a matter of perspective than any of us would care to admit.

Terrorist are the turds of the world.
They should all be flushed right down the old crapper.
I think by there actions {the bombing in Jordan} that they are doing a very god job just proving our point that they are idiots.

They are making enemies all over the world so there time is limited.

I have tried to go thru life with out hating anyone but I can truthfully say I have no use for these clowns at all.

Want to know how to get rid of terrorist?
Just do like Holland did and evict them and dont let anymore muslims in the country.

If we closed down all mosque they would leave in droves.
See ya habib dont let the door hit ya.

It's worse than even that.

I agree with you as well.
