: Denc
: : : : The wide ranging opinions of all the posters on here make someone like me seriously consider scenarios and problems which I would never need to face in my day-to-day living.
: : : : I disagree with many of the extreme opinions I have seen expressed tonight but I think it is BRILLIANT that they can be expressed.
: : : : I (for one) have learned a lot and perhaps others whos minds are generally closed feel that they have learned something. While these issues are being discussed between un in this (sometimes heated) way - it is NOT being acted upon on the streets - because that is the alternative.
: : : : This country, this economy, British people of every colour, race, creed are likely to have a shitty next few months and (whether you like it or not) there is going to be military action taking place against people who happen to be Muslim.
: : : : The action is not BECAUSE they are Muslim, their faith is irrelevant. If Israeli terrorists were found to have carried out the attacks then the US would have taken action against terrorists who would have been Jewish. Once again irrelevant to the action.
: : : : There is a possibility that once the action gets dirty that UK citizens will turn against one another for NO REASON other than that they are perceived to be Muslim. Imagine how that feels - terrorist nutcases in another country carrying out a muderous attack against the US and claiming they are doing it ON YOUR BEHALF because they claim to be Muslims (like you).
: : : : Try to imagine how it feels. Try.
: : : : There have been a few Anti-American and Anti-Islamic posts on here tonight from VERY doubtful sources. If you look carefully enough you can find a web-site which provides support to ANY ideology from fascist sites which "prove" their was no holocaust through to sites which "prove" that their was no moon landings in the 60's. So BEWARE WHAT YOU READ ON THE NET. There are vast amounts of mis-information out there so believe little without proof.
: : : : But it's good to talk as a famous philosipher once said (Bob Hoskins I think).
