This is called conforming.

This is realated to the title of the post, On sept 10th My Girlfriend (Primary school teacher) Told the class that they was going to have a minuites silence on the 11th( live in a very mixed religion area) in case any one was opposed to it, they wasnt and was really enthusiastic about the fact that they should respect the people who were killed, fair enough later that day (shes teaching WW2 this term) She showed what could be described as quite a graphic upseting video on D-Day and some off the kids were just not interested or showing any respect, at the end of the video they show one of the grave yards in france and some narator was saying a poem in memory of the millions who died in WW2 and again some kids were taking the piss out of it and pretending to cry. Any way she shouted like hell at them Calling them disrespectful yada yada yada. So I have totaly forgoten my point now but you can guess what im saying:rolleyes:

We seem to forget WHY they did it on 9-11. They did it simply because our very way of life disqusts them. They hate the West and the U.S.A in particular simply because we ARE Western.

Dont fool yourself into thinking these indiv's have some sort vengence built upon economic policy of the U.S in their lands.
Their hate is built upon religion... the most obscure and intense reason to hate besides political differences which is a religion in its self really.

These childrean have yet to experience the world.... to grow and see what is really of value. They are easily influnced and manipulated by others.... dont let this get you down. Many of the most hardcore "leftwingers" from the 60's changed their tune as they grew older. Experience DOES change ones perspective.

It's the foreign politics that foreigners doesn't like about US.
trade things... which has pissed off many countries.
US has double stantards in foreign politics; it's politics can require alot of things from other countries and wonder why they aren't willing to do things, while themselves refuse from alot of things that most countries have already agreed to.

As good example, US doesn't want to have their troops trialed in international court, but yet they want to act like world police and convict foreigners on their country and by their laws, without other countries involvement.

US citizens doesn't have much power in politics, they are following the politicians like sheeps follows the herd.
This is to say that I'm faulting the politicians and media.

Does this make me anti-american? no.

Graphic depictions of the D-Day landings are too much for small children to comprehend. Their atttention span is short anyway.
With all due respect Mushkin, your girlfriend broke down and lost control of the situation, which she brought on herself.

She's in the wrong occupation if she can't handle restless children without yelling at them. I'll give you an example of when I was in the second grade, and all the kids in class just heard about the assassination of JFK...this was about 1:00 or so in the afternoon. I remember my teacher crying. All the kids could think about was getting out of school early; everybody was cheering. Pretty stupid. Can't remember if the teacher yelled at us or not. We were only thinking about going home early. The thought of what really happened never entered our minds, until many years later.

I agree whith what your saying but she can handle restless kids its the fact of just no respect probably because it happend 60 years ago they dont register it as real what i was saying was at the minuite the youth of today understand the impact 9/11 has had on everything in our world, kids born next year when they get to school probably wont find 9/11 upseting as we all do now

"As good example, US doesn't want to have their troops trialed in international court, but yet they want to act like world police and convict foreigners on their country and by their laws, without other countries involvement."

Only popsicle countries who know they will never have to do anything significant on the world stage support this 3rd world whining court. They always come asking for the USA to do all the tough work. Thats why the USA is "like world police". However I must admit most of the UN peacekeeper bluehat amazinhunks do wonders for the local prostitutes and bars while making outstanding hostages and human shields. Thats pretty much what all of them did in my country. Why would any of the degenerate criminal troublemaker countries ever want to make legal trouble for them when the UN peacekeepers are such an economic and political windfall to these regimes.

The UN has recently become perhaps the most useless whining collection of gutless rutabagas in history. All they can do is complain about world problems, demand US money and military power while all the time blaming everything on America.

Ooh and I'm sure all the enlightened pussified post war european socialist people's republics just give every citizen sooo much power. Just how many laws have you personally authored in Finland? Let me know...

Don't critize the USA, who knows there might a problem in your part of the world one day. I'm sure the UN will be glad to hear your woes - but be honest to yourself who will really be there to help?

I don't think the ragheads which flew the planes and murdered Americans realized anything but the brainwashing they received from their "leaders" that we, the US of A is the "Great Satan" - evil leader and cause of all bad in the world and must be destroyed at all costs. They have warped a peaceful religion to back this agenda. They start the brainwashing at a very early age so it sticks and sticks well.

And their "leaders" LEADERS have their own agenda - to advance their own financial gain and power at the expense of America.

Do you really think they, the puppet masters of the terror movement give a rats bellybutton about anyone/anything in this world other than themselves?

9/11/2001 was an act of war. A chickenshit variant, but an act of war which has opened the door for the world'strongest military to hunt these rats down and exterminate them in their holes, with or without our "allies" approval. It's us or them - I vote them...

To say the US was attacked is an understatement. When the attacks hit the WORLD Trade Center. The whole world was attacked.

I also agree that Flags on CARS and clothing have NO measure in Patriotism.

PS - Kids SHOULDN'T have to form an opinion like this in first place. Hatred shouldn't that young or even NOT AT ALL. If they are in grade school, they couldn't even define the word let alone pass judgement.

Grunherz - at least the UN forces in the Balkans tried to keep the peace between three communities hell bent on murdering each other(with tied hands, I might add). They went to a country hundreds of miles from home and some of them died. And they still die today, while clearing mines.

What did you do? You ran away and continue to pour scorn from the cheap seats. Congratulations.

Have you heard of the UN involvement in East Timor, BTW?

You mention UN troops using prostitutes and bars. What do you think happens when ANY ship pulls into port from ANY navy, including the good 'ol USA? Where do you think they go? To church? Your argument is ridiculous.

Eagler - your continued use of 'raghead' as a term of ethnicity should be grounds to get you kicked off this board, IMO. It's not even accurate.

Masherbrum · « **Reply #26 on:** September 12, 2002, 08:17:49 AM »

I read about East Timor 12 years ago when 100,000 people were slaughtered. My sis worked at a large newspaper in the area. She wanted to write about BUT they wouldn't let her.

how about shaved ragheads - as from the video/pictures they looked like they took a bath and a shower before murdering our citizens

you have seen the latest JazzTV video right - with these morons sitting around in their raghead garb talking about the attacks???

If they don't want me to call them a raghead, they have two choices:

take the rag off their head

or

stop killing American citizens
