A quick google for yo-yo/negativity landed me here.. http://www.coping.org/anger/pessimis.htm You might want to give it a look see. Hope it helps.
When I lived in atlanta, I commuted an hour and a half each day. It sucked, but I couldn't imagine living in the city 7 days a week. I liked living outside the city, where you actually had a little peace and quiet. Its a tossup and probably not for everyone (the commute), but if you can handle it, why not? Or if there are alternatives (telecommuting and such)...
What could turn out to be most interesting is when the Islamists finally do aquire and utilize WMD's, their victims will be millions of urban Americans i.e. their Liberal supporters. If we lose a few major cities, American politics will suddenly be dominated by rural conservatives. This will be very bad for Islamic terrorists.
I would say extreme muslims hate liberals just as much as conservative...maybe even more. Fundamentalism doesn't want women to behave as liberal women do. Fundamentalism doesn't want homosexuality. Fundies hate what they consider anti-god liberalism. This is in any extreme variant of Christianity and Islam. The funny thing about some liberals is they think they can reason with extreme muslims....lol...they want you dead and they're willing to blow themselves up for it. There's no reason in that. This is the part where some liberals are idiots in foreign policies. If LA and and SF where to experience a disaster...America would be highly conservative. An earthquake may very well make this true regardless.
They want us dead for a reason. Remove all support of Israel and all troops from Islamic countries and they will no longer care about us (minus those who have lost their families to our bombs and bullets). - Now I'm not saying that is what I want, or that is the right thing to do (because it's not) ... I'm just saying, there is a REASON they hate us.
Guys and Gals ... Yo Yo amkes some very valid points here .. I mean you may not agree with some of the things Yo Yo says but I have been with this thread for a long time now and I must say I see people try to go around and skirt his points because they cant argue they know its true .. So instead they start trying to put Yo Yo down or start talking about someone else to change the subject............ But the Crux of it all is , most americans are like sheep led to the slaughter... they got theirs they dont care - and they believe the News - worst mistake anyone can do If you want to know a little of the truth about the situation , watch the BBC or some news station that the whitehouse cant ban from the press room because they are not invited to the white house anyway
Your true colors are showing again... How naive. They don't need a reason. You might like to use that as an excuse, but that's not it. They hate us because of what we are, and what we stand for. We are free, and we have freedom. Ah to be young and naive again.
But Mia , As a person who has traveled in Europe and Africa those people are free too.. Norwegians have one of the highest standards of living in the world and they have NO national debt .... Yjey dont seem to hate the Norwegians cause they are free .. And please dont say Norwegians are not free , I lived there 8 years and enjoyed it very much I am married to a fine Norwegian girl that when coming to the USA has commented many times how we in the USA are not as free as we think we really are... We are becoming over lawed over taxed and no represented. What is freedom .. Freedom to me is being able to walk out my front door and to be safe , to not worry about being killed or a victim of road rage The Norwegian Police do not even carry guns there - I also lived in Stockholm , you could walk down any street and not be mugged. I am sorry I cant say that about Detroit Also what is freedom when people have never had to work so many hours per week just to stay afloat - this is not freedom What is freedom I ask you ? it isnt just a word
It certainly helps when a do nothing for anyone but Norway country remains neutral through two world wars. Norway has done very little to contribute to the entire world as a whole, and remains stuck on Norway and Norway alone. If we did that in the US, and elsewhere, it is pretty obvious things would be a bit different. Why does Norway have such a great economy? Hmm, Norway is one of the worlds largest oil exporters, just a tad behind the top (Saudi Arabia). The entire national economy is based almost exclusively on OIL, and OIL alone. Wonder why you never mention things like that? You guys had the largest shipping fleet in the world in the 80's and 90', what the hell happened there? It's been on the decline big time. While I agree that the standard of living in Norway is quite beyond most other European countries, the US included, let's not forget that this is due mainly to your affluent economy. With all that money, and that high standard of living, one has to wonder why Norway ever shared in the fight to earn that right and freedom you now profess. No, the US and the rest of Europe kept and keep you safe. This is an undeniable truth. Keep in mind that the wells will run dry one day, and Norway will look a whole lot different. Do also keep in mind that your neighbors in Europe and the US may choose not to keep your country free the next time Europe is at war. I'd be quite humble and thankful if I were from Norway. In all fairness a great many Norwegians did join the fight in WWI and WWII, to them, you should be quite grateful. A great many of them ended up in the US and other neighboring European countries rather than go home to Norway. I wonder why. Why are you trying to compare Apples to Oranges? There is no comparison. For the record, Detroit is not representative of the US as a whole. In fact, it is only a small area in Detroit that is a complete shit-hole. It's where Michael Moore is from ironically... Go figure.
Thank god latehorn has been banned... Anyone know how long it will last for? Edit, Blimey, I was on page one ~ I thought I was on the last page of the thread. Sorry about that...
I tried looking at his past posts and couldn't see anything overtly obnoxioux (beyond the usual) ~ did he send spammy PM's or something... Haha
Mia , Please tell my wifes family that Norway was neutral Sorry Darling .................. Sweden was neutral not Norway.. Ya kinda got your facts mixed up
Because we are not Islamic. Du'h. If we pulled out of Israel, we would STILL be hated by them. They hate us for EXISTING. They will not stop until AMERICA is dead or muslim. That's part of their religious beliefs. Oh and I love how you pulled out your Iraq Survey Group quote from your sig, now that I defeated you with the same group's quotes. Lovely. You think the President is the mastermind behind this administration? You give him so much credit! I give the credit to the New World Order that George Senior mentioned in his Gulf War speech.
I'd have to agree... I've not seen anything from him to be over the top enough for a ban. Wonder what did it. He seemed like a hell of a nice guy to me!
Current Israel's politicians are not taugh enough to make such desecion to attack Iran, even though it's not a big military challenge, it's just that they're weak and have too many other problems, so most likely this will be just US's war..
I learned it from "my wife's" family (Ringblom --- take wild guess what the nationality there is) But since you insist: and From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Norway Are you sure you are really telling the truth when you post? Is your wife really Norwegian, and do you really live there? Or are you just trolling?
