it annoys me when someone commits suicide and then someone says "oh they took the easy way out"..it takes cahunas the size of coconuts to pull the trigger on yourself, blow yourself up, throw yourself under a train etc no matter how "depressed" you are

Nope. It's the easy way out. Whatever problems a person had that caused them to commit suicide they chose to bale out and leave their families to deal with it.

Obviously, the exposive waistcoat nutters are a different thing entirely.

If you've got a family (and I'm talking missus and kids, not just mum, dad, siblings etc), there really is no excuse for suicide. It's very selfish. Though some forms of depression are extremely debilitating so it's not really fair to condemn.
 
oh who cares! love has made us weak. we all die in the end. death is death. life goes on (excuse the pun)

I don't think I condemned. I do consider suicide to be the easy way out though. It would be harder to deal with the problems rather than selfishly top yerself and leave your family with that to deal with.
 
cowards? no not really. Good luck to them. I hope they kill more invaders<ok> How does fighting folks with billion times more superior weaponry, make u a coward? lol, if anything it's the opposite.
 
I don't think that anyone suggested that they were.

really? I thought you did when you said, and i quote

'When you talked about facing certain death, I assumed that you were talking about suicide bombers.'





The Taleban aren't a fierce, proud people, they're an oppressive bunch of religious lunatics.

fierce and proud enough to be taking on the worlds foremost super power/s. The only religious lunatics i saw was Bush and 'god telling him' to attack

Ironically you've quoted me out of context.
The OP didn't say that he was talking about all attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan and mentioned facing certain death, so I assumed that he was talking about the suicide bombings in Kabul earlier in the day.
I certainly never implied that all attacks in Iraq or Afghanistan were by suicide bombers.

Bush is a religious lunatic, but are you honestly trying to claim that the Taleban aren't?

welcome to my world. I wasnt responding to the Op specifically, it seemed the focus had become suicide bombers
Also I did say taliban (and afghans in gemeral) but people focus on what they want, dont know why?
I never implied everyon thought it was suicide bombers, just those who did

The taliban were minding their own business, running the country as they saw fit. May agree/disagree with elements but that isnt the point
they were attacked, forces came onto their land and attacked them, they fought/are fighting back against the might of the US and its allies.
David and Goliath if you will, and holding their own. with no where near the military hardware or might.
cowards? no way imo. a proud and fierce and brave people

Really?
I thought that they systematically massacred and tortured a bunch of civilians due to their faith or racial background, including a bunch of Iranian diplomats, while running the country as an oppressive theocracy and making money from the opium trade?

I have no problem with the people of Afghanistan, but it appears that the Taleban do.

keep up. your quote was in response to something you said. My initial post wasn't aimed at you directly
stop taking everything so personally.

youre wrong, but its easily done

how so? the war is against afghanistan, the taliban being people of afghanistan

I was pointing out that you're wrong.
Just accept that and move on, rather than trying to deflect things.

You get very defensive when you're shown to be wrong.
Why is that?

I'm really not.
Feel free to prove me wrong, though.

The Taleban are not the people of Afghanistan.
They are one section of that society.
That'd be like saying that the having a problem with the EDL means that you have a problem with the people of England.
 
Those selfish arseholes that hop in front of tubes in London are not brave, the amount of times my late record at work has been clocked up because of one of these pricks decides to end it on the Central line........... Pathetic
 
Yeah, if you're going to kill yourself, then please minimise the disruption to other people and keep the amount of cleaning down, too.

no your confusing yourself in all honesty

LOL. good comeback<ok> is this where we say no you... no you?

I'm really not.
Feel free to prove me wrong, though.

you really are, but you can choose to believe what you believe.


The Taleban are not the people of Afghanistan.

Yes they are, the taleban is an organisation made up of people from afghanistan. A political party if you will

They are one section of that society.
That'd be like saying that the having a problem with the EDL means that you have a problem with the people of England.

The EDL, Like the BNP could become a political party. They could take over the country as the taliban did. kind of changes perspectives.

I suggest you look up what taliban is/are. They are not a race. Taliban simply means students
 
no your confusing yourself in all honesty

I'm clearly not.
You're just being utterly dishonest.

you really are, but you can choose to believe what you believe.

As I've told you before, people don't choose what they believe.
If I'm wrong, then prove to me that I'm wrong.

Yes they are, the taleban is an organisation made up of people from afghanistan. A political party if you will

Exactly.
The Taleban is made up from people from Afghanistan, but it's not the same as the people of Afghanistan.
The EDL is made up of people from England, but it's not the people of England.

The EDL, Like the BNP could become a political party. They could take over the country as the taliban did. kind of changes perspectives.

I suggest you look up what taliban is/are. They are not a race. Taliban simply means students

In what way does that change perspective?
I'm sure that various members of the EDL plan to make it a political movement.
It'll fail if they do though, just as the BNP in it's various incarnations has.

I'm well aware of what the Taleban is and haven't suggested that it's a race.
The meaning of the name is irrelevant, too.
