Fidel Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 As you wish KS. Corinthian. I don't know you, and I don't like to post too much personal information on the internet. I know you'd like me to post my credentials, but sorry, ain't gonna happen. Perhaps its time for me to stop commenting on issues like this. I can't change people's opinions on here.. and everyone has an idea where I'm coming from. I'll leave it to you boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Sorry Corinthian, you said "these people are sick" referring to Syrians and then went on to reference Iraqis. I came to the conclusion that you were tarring all Arabs with the same brush. Maybe you should have been clearer. From the title "Syrian man butchers baby in market.... How sick are these people? " I drew the conclusion the OP was referring to ALL Syrians, not all the people who butcher babies. Is there an English grammar expert here who can tell us if this is the correct way to express this thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure you won't change anyone's opinion, we're all adults and made up our minds years ago. At least when you get a hard time here you don't accuse people of being anti Irish.

TheCorinthian Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hi, Guys, can we please keep this civil? Sanuk! Perhaps there should be a sub forum called "Politics and Religion?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Corinthian, I also obviously assumed you meant Syrians. As you say in your post correcting the mistake in grammar (hard for me too say I know ) Even Americans like OH also took the same meaning as myself and Fidel, so drawing a line to Fidel as anti-american people for this is a long bow.

TheCorinthian Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I drew the same conclusion and so I believe would most, if not all, others. I suppose it is inevitable conclusion for many here to make. Esp when a video of two marines acting stupid elicits this comment... ...where US Marines regularly abduct and gang rape 14-year-old schoolgirls.... ...condemning all 20,000 on the island as raping thugs. I am curious though, had anyone posted, "Saudi Religious Police Sentence Rape Victim to Lashes, Prison...! How sick are these people??" Would that have been an issue as well?

Would that have been an issue as well? Of course not, Saudi Religious Police are all, to a man, sick twisted wankers. I'm sure even Fidel would not disagree with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
