[QUOTE=Tetracycline;25605872]We do have a mixed culture, we do have assholes that don't like nobody no how but that doesn't mean we're all racist, and like I said you can't judge all of the USA
And come on, we do have a mixed culture, we have every race ever in our country[/QUOTE]
Xenophobia is just veiled racism in some instances. There's also homophobia, which is just awful in America.
A vast majority of Americans are either Homophobic or Xenophobic. or both

It's a very close minority. So much so, it doesn't matter. Then again, you're the guy who thinks that anything that falls under 49% is now officially not normal, like being an icky queer.

Grow a pair?
If it exposes future battle plans then it severely hinders the coalition forces, and means a lot of people are going to die for the shitty reason that someone decided the public had a right to know what was happening.
I'm all up for the public knowing just about everything happening, but releasing tactics and battle plans is fucking horrendously stupid.

Has anyone noticed that names and locations seem to be blanked out in these? Maybe just the few I am looking at are like this.

Exposing war crimes hinders battle plans?
No, I just fucking said, I agree with the public being told everything except information that risks exposing future assaults and plans.
You really do have selective reading dont you, you tremendous idiot.

Well done reading the part where I said the civilians should be told everything that is going on, except current and future battle plans.
Lets read on shall we?

Honestly warhol has there ever been a single occasion when you have actually managed to correctly interpret what someone has replied to you with, or is it just "OMG THEY SAID THIS SO THEY MUST BE THIS!!" Cause honestly every fucking post you make just emanates sheer, blinding, glorious idiocy.
still waiting for an example broski
Bravehat is stupid, I pity him.
And Bravehat valiantly provides wikileak documents proving to me wikileaks undermines military operatio-
NO HE DOESN'T LOL
[editline]24th October 2010[/editline]
see, it's funny because it assumes Bravehat is willing to prove his retarded arguments, which never really happens.
[editline]24th October 2010[/editline]
oh but spends more time calling me an -fill in blank- idiot.

Again selective reading, I agree with what assange is doing, and I only said IF this undermines any possible operations then I have issues, otherwise I agree with it.
And the way you talk it implies your arguments are actually credible, you rarely if ever argue anything objective, you constantly attacks peoples personal opinions, that's it.
And I never prove my arguments? despite you never proving any of yours and me providing sources for most of the shit I've said (stuff that was objective at least, subject is impossible to prove)
Honestly warhol I couldn't give a fuck, as I've mentioned on multiple occasions before, our arguments get nowhere so it's best to just give each other a wide berth.

I live in a border city with Canada, and to be frank, Canadians are some of the rudest people I've ever met.
I have to say, since I've actually traveled to different countries with People to People....its pretty much even. I got the same odd stares and sneers in Paris and Tokyo like I would in Central Philly. Once you go out to the less urbanized areas people wave back and smile.

[QUOTE=IStanI;25585208]Clearly a lot of you stopped reading at Iraqi civvies killing civvies part, there is much more.

Why is it our business to regulate how these people treat each other?

Well, there's no proof that it does undermine any operations. But then again, there's no proof that it doesn't... eh, must read them more when I get home, dotNet teacher wouldn't like me reading them at class...

Then tell me Black people are abnormal.
By these definitions, I'm abnormal too. Do I give a damn?
Nope.
[QUOTE=Warhol;25643085]Then tell me Black people are abnormal.[/QUOTE]
Blacks are black because of an increase in melatonin due to higher levels of sun stemming from proximity to the equator and tilt of the Earth's axis. It is an evolutionary advantage to the warmer climates that blacked skin humans originate from.
Not really comparable to homosexuality, which serves no purpose evolutionarily and from a purely Darwinian viewpoint, is a defect, not a trait.
[QUOTE=JDK721v5;25637353]not at all[/QUOTE]
Statistically and purely through evolution, they are.

By being the minority? We all fit in at least one category.
Homosexuality is a defect.
That being said, everyone has defects, some much worse than being homosexual.
There is nothing wrong OR abnormal about homosexuality.
[QUOTE=Warhol;25655921]There is nothing wrong OR abnormal about homosexuality.[/QUOTE]
We're not even saying its wrong, its just natural. Its also scientific to point out that there is no evolutionary benefits of being gay or lesbian and it is not normal...meaning abnormal.
