kyo's posts steadily went downhill here so who knows what its mental state is atm. Blasting the VV board, when it's easy to pinpoint the problem areas for certain people, isn't very productive. As I said elsewhere, compartmentalizing the various areas of VV makes for a better experience.

I think the general issue people are having, as even noted by yourself in another thread, is the declining "population" of active VV posters. I'm pointing out why. Some people ONLY come here for the CE discussions, and when they see these discussions derailed and dominated by back-and-forth contentless posts by a certain few people that make it VERY hard to hold a real, intellectual debate, why would they bother to come here anymore at all? I'm not blasting VV - I think it's a great and somewhat fascinating board full of people of all different backgrounds that have kept in contact YEARS after quitting the element that brought them together. But I also think, as is typical for a lot of societal groups, the few annoying fucktards ruin it for the "silent majority" - if you will. This does mostly pertain to the CE section I might add, as even Funk is tolerable on the games forums and elsewhere. Mid is pretty much a dickless fuckheard regardless thoughWinnow wrote:kyo's posts steadily went downhill here so who knows what its mental state is atm.

Coming from a guy who barely understands what it means to be american, who has a misplaced sense of nationalism or patriotism, who proudly denies the history and the philosophies of the founding fathers and the constitution, and who takes for granted all the blood paid to get this country to where it is now, these questions are absurdly hilarious.

Again, your complete and total lack of empathy astounds me.
But in the context of this discussion, which started when trying to explain why there are more and more people in the Muslim world getting angry at the US, the blame (from the perspective of said angry Muslims) lies on us. Sure, we're not the ones pulling the trigger, but our "unjust" occupation of Iraq is viewed as the cause.

Why the fuck would anyone else try to argue with you two dicksock motherfuckers? I've been reading your stupid hypocritical bullshit for three years now, and haven't bothered to post, because no amount of arguing can change you fucktwits into reasonable, logic-bearing human beings. Half the time you assclowns post just for the sake of being contrary, yet you try to convince other people to look at the "big picture" or to see things from your view? Fucking morons. You just post to annoy people, not to actually bring about any level of debate. A debate involves people listening to and at least granting the other side a momentary glance of consideration, countering other individual's points by ackowledging them and giving real evidence that they're either false or inconclusive, or perhaps even granting the otherside is correct and conceding your point. All you morons do is see who can yell the loudest. Often this goes for both sides of the fence, but mostly it's just Funk and Mid.
So yeah, what in the fuck would cause anyone to want to argue with you morons? The saddest thing is that you're both so convinced that you're right, that you'll never, ever look at anything but what you strictly hold to be true and give it chance; you know, perhaps learn something new or take up a new belief, or modify your own. That's the highest level of ignorance I can think of.

We as a society have not blamed other countries for the tremendous amount of murders that happen here yearly. That is all that is going on over there right now....Iraqis (and other insurgents) killing Iraqis. You can lay the blame on us for the first year or two of deaths, but now it is almost entirely at the hands of the insurgents. The US leaving will not stop it and it will increase if we do leave. It kicked off when we arrived, but it will only stop when either the insurgents are eliminated or they decide to stop.
I have said this before and I will say it again. The only way to WIN this type of a war is a way our society has no stomach for. You must eliminate enough of their people ina mass slaughter that it breaks their will to fight and ensures them that their struggle will lead to the complete and utter destruction of every single citizen, soldier, and living person attached to them. You cannot ever win a geurilla war by defending forever (see Vietnam). If we wanted to end conflict in the Middle East, it is definitely acheivable.....but the society in which we live woudl never ever permit it. You would need to absolutely destroy one of the countries there and demand total surrender as was done with Japan and Germany....and then disarm them entirely.
If the Iranians invaded your country, disabled your government, your power, and your police force, and created the kind of food shortages that turn people against each other; yeah, you'd pretty heavily blame the Iranians that the mexicans, negros, chinese, whatever were killing you enmass.

I can recall a few times where I have conceeded the point, or at least that I misunderstood the opposing point. I can't recall you ever gaining any knowledge what-so-ever from anyone else in your entire tenure.

The way things continuously work here on VV, and this goes for damn near everyone that posts here - is one person says something, the other states their (usually opposing) view, then the first person reiterates the same thing they said before, as does the other person.. And this happens because most of the people here (save a very small handful, maybe 2 or 3 people) are solidified in their opinions and nothing anyone could say would make them think any different, so really what's the point?
I beg to differ. I have gained plenty of knowledge from VV, just not from the CE forum, because pretty much anything that comes out of anyones mouth that is even slightly liberal makes me want to vomit all over myself.Zaelath wrote:I can recall a few times where I have conceeded the point, or at least that I misunderstood the opposing point.

As to "restating" the point, usually that's because you or Mid or some other troll paraphrase what is said to mean something completely different to what was actually said, either through lack of comprehension or deliberate obtuseness. The point is then reiterated for the benefit clarity, and a few well deserved appellations are thrown in.
Next up, we have a horrible juxtaposition of incredible stupidity, if only for the choice of naming. "Insurgents" make up probably less than 10% of the Iraq guerrilla fighters, but don't let that little fact get in the way of your blind assertions. Also, by all means ignore the fact that everyone already warned the US before it invaded that its illegal, immoral and downright retarded occupation would spawn such an insurgency. I guess the whole "let's laugh that ridiculous assumption off" brigade (of which several of you were) should be eating their hats right about now.Xyun wrote: Coming from a guy who barely understands what it means to be american, who has a misplaced sense of nationalism or patriotism, who proudly denies the history and the philosophies of the founding fathers and the constitution, and who takes for granted all the blood paid to get this country to where it is now, these questions are absurdly hilarious.

Let me break it down for you,
1 - I don't like liberal stances for a reason, not just blindly because they are liberal (which is more than I can say for some of the liberals here on VV)
2 - I don't care how you debate, I don't care where you are on the political spectrum, hell, I don't care if you watch your whole family die slowly in a terrible car accident tomorrow before finally being put out of your misery.
3 - Nice try on the "mid and funk are ruining this forum" thing, you are wrong. End of discussion.
4 - Where precisely was it that I posted pictured of my "suped out ride", I changed my avatar to a picture of my new (completely un modded, or suped, or whatever you want to call it) Audi when I got it because I was excited about it. And I certainly don't recall anyone making fun of me about it, and if they did (I would like to see this thread linked, btw, or shut the fuck up) it was for no reason at all, and they were being douchebags for no reason.
Your opinion is irrelevant dude, face it. I might not like a lot of the people that post here, particularly the ones I always disagree with. But I do have a little respect for them because they have the balls to post their opinions knowing full well someone might attack them for it, you however are a fucking coward, and IMO picked a stupid fucking topic to come in on, douchebag.
I was serious about the car accident thing, too.
