So wrong, they are an ethnocracy to the extent they are pretty much the definition of an apartheid state
The really daft thing about the whole Afghan situation is that they haven't cottoned on to the simplest way of getting rid of foreign troops; or more likely they have but it doesn't suit their ideology; sit back, stop fighting, behave yourself for a year or so and give the western powers the perfect excuse to pull their troops out - job done. Once they're all gone you can then go back to turning the country into a backward s*****e stuck in the middle ages !
It only affect us when we choose to mate.... Your spot on with what you say...... I'll say again the world sat bye and did **** all in Cambodia while he killed over 1m.. Why? No money involved, no oil gas or nowt, just tv news. just the same as every other massacre that happens through-out Africa etc.... But when something happens that the media wants you to pay attention to, it's like a ****ing puppy, sit up and beg, apart from that bury tour head in the sand and forget the real problems, unless the media tell you.
syd, I'll pay for your one way ticket to Pakistan if you like? On one condition, you get kidnapped and murdered
I was born in 72 poll pot was mainly 75-78 when all the **** went down, so I cant remember it from the time, everything i know is just from what I have seen/read since it happened. So i cant comment about why we didnt help them, or get involved, or why the media didnt report it (they might these days though)
I do think they should give back the West Bank & Ghazza Strip to the Palestinians & tensions would therefore be eased. BUT, the Israeli's don't take any ****. They meet force with much stronger force & are literally surrounded by states that hate them so must always be on guard. The Jews as a race will never forget the genocide of WW2 & nee ****er will ever take Israel away from them. They are a totally different people now to what they were then. They will fight to the death to protect it regardless of how the rest of the world takes it. I for one admire them for that.
Iv'e been to the killing fields mate, it's just another sad episode in the times of the neglect of the needy, when there was no money involved.
just popped back during adverts and feeling guilty, all these deep debates and I'm watching Vera on the telly.
No, it sounds a bit paranoid to be honest. Less than 3% of the UK population is Muslim, going to take a hell of a lot of breeding as you put it before they take over. I have a good number of friends who are Muslims and It's quite offensive of you to call them a virus. Don't get me wrong, I think the guys disrupting the dead soldiers repatriation and the ones calling for Sharia law in this country are total ****s who I would quite happily kick **** out of but to tar an entire community of people as a virus and claim they have a master plan for taking over the country is quite frankly ridiculous, its like the more extreme muslims claiming the world is run by a Zionist conspiracy. Anyway I am sick of these kind of threads on a footy forum as they always end in one way.
but you don't have to read them or even better post other threads. So far I can see strong opinions but little problem and other threads like this have been good.IMO
Just a guess here but could it have been the Vietnam war. The Americans pulled out of that in 1973 and limped home, badly wounded, 2 years later Pol Pot starts up. A: they were skint after the Vietnam war B: They just didnt want to get involved incase they got spanked again C: It was a long way to travel, especially for 1,000`s of troups, so a strategical nightmare. D: They didnt now what was going on until it was too late, Vietnam Invaded in 78, Pol Pol buggered off to a border and set up the government again, which the United Nations said was fine, surely if they knew of all the deaths, they would have said, no ****ing way. E: It just sounds like a bloody volatile and mixed up time in that era. 1: North Vietnam Vs South Vietnam,Cambodia etc 2:South Vietnam vs Cambodia So the Americans probably thought, **** this, let them get on with it.
Just giving my opinion, if I read something I don't agree with and feel stongly about it I feel the need to post, that does not mean I especially enjoy it, I would rather not mix my politics with my sport.
People, eh? When they're good, they're very, very, good. And when they're bad, they're a bunch of utter ****s....
