@TheTomcatt999 we're "racists" because we don't agree with a black guy? keep up the good work.

@jeboshifru Preposterous, inane, ignorant drivel.

Far less people have been killed by "collateral damage" than by the fascist, dictatorial government that was in place. Did you learn that term by watching an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie?

Religion is a poison. It will ruin or at least deter any society, and cause unfathomable damage.

You need to do some more reading (or, at least learn how to read.)

Is that Red Fox?

Don't expect a debate folks. The moderator is an idiot.

@jeboshifru Typical, generic internet mud-slinging. What's next? I'm gay? And a virgin? I live at home with my parents in the basement? You've got nothing.

You can name all the authors and philosophers you want, but it is obvious you have no comprehension of what you're reading. You might want to stick to pop-up books and romance novels.

Comparing the U.S. army to Nazis is inane, ignorant, and automatically proves you are a dull twat.

[jeboshifru]

@undisputedgreatest : well, at the moment, I'm reading Camus. You most probably have never heard of him. You most probably never heard of Dostoyevsky, Sartre, Hugo, Marques, Ionesco, Orwel, Twain, kant, Nietsche, Schopenhauer, From, etc. It is obvious that the only literature you're fammiliar with is american bullshit propaganda.

And I'm not religious, you douchebag. I'm just oposing nazis of today - which would be US army.

[jeboshifru]

@undisputedgreatest : how many children per year have been killed by muslims for insolence? And how many children per year are killed by american army as "colateral damage"? how many women has been killed for being raped, and how many women has been killed by US forces as "colateral damage"? All you do is JUSTIFYING MASS SYSTEMATIC KILLINGS by pointing to few sporadic killings.

[undisputedgreatest]

@jeboshifru It is impossible to "ruin" a Muslim's culture. You are obviously a moronic moral relativist. Well, I hate to break it to you, but NOT all cultures are created equally. Most are, for sure. But, when your "culture" includes murdering children for insolence, killing women for being raped, etc...your culture is a travesty and NEEDS to be fought.

And yes...I'm clearly out there "destroying minds." I must have already gotten to you, because you're an imbecile.
