Talk about ROFLMAO! Read the 2006 Catholic League Report on Anti-Catholicism. I have posted a link in the title to this posting to the part of the report on activists against the Holy Church. I belong to most of the activist organizations listed there. Do you? Kinda makes me really proud to see my efforts so appreciated, and see them all listed out for me each year. Enjoy.Peter Nuhn
its sad, but it doesn’t really seem to support your claim that all this is a result of the ethnicity of the people involved.
there are too many other factors. these people are steeped in poverty, superstition and misinformation, and a mob mentality. it’s not only africans who have commited atrocities in the heat of war or chronic civil unrest. what about the killing fields of cambodia? the nazi concentration camps? people are capable of terrible things, and the fact that Africa is the only place we see such atrocious conditions today is not proof that that ethnicity is the cause.
We just kill them all from considerable distance and justify it all with the pursuit of imaginary foes. So humane.

“You people”? Why are so many racist remarks preceded by those words?
Alex,
A bunch of Africans act like savages, therefore Africans are savages??
Ahhhh…are the (African) victims of such savagery, also savages? Are the women and children being slaughtered, also savages?
Do you have any empathy for the people being killed like dogs in the street?? Why should you…they were, after all, African (savages).
Seriously, yours is a really piss poor argument.
Alex,
As an aside – our ancestors were savages (African).
I wonder at what point in our evolutionary history, the “savagery” gene was bred out of the white man? That is, after all, what you are saying isn’t it? That, the actions in the video, are a direct product of the genetic makeup of Africans??
Come on, Goebbles, tell us all about the superiority of your pure bloodline!
Gag.
Danger,
Judging by what I see on the news every night, not to mention the atrocities I witnessed firsthand in the Balkans, I would have to say that whites have perfected the savage gene, not had it bred out of us.
Africans use machetes. Americans use GPS guided ‘smart bombs’, and automatic weapon’s fire.
How many humans perished in the European theatre, during WWII because of the Aryan Race? Savages, indeed.
Ren,
Exactly. To be honest, I don’t know why I bother with Alex – he never answers my critisisms of his arguments.
I completely agree with you RE weaponry….if only these “savages” would civilise up and start using GPS bombs and Tomohawk missiles we could then relate to them, and accept them into the fold of “civilised” society.
As an aside, it’s weird how the Nazis adopted the word Aryan isn’t it? I would suspect that if Himmler came across some true Aryans, they would be shuttled off directly to Treblinka, as members of a lower race.
I noticed you mentioned you were stationed in Germany (Frankfurt I presume?). I spent a couple of years in Munich doing a postdoc. Great beer and great cars, but there is something very claustrophobic about German society.
Danger,
I was never stationed IN Frankfurt, but I was within an hrs drive (very fast drive) both times I was stationed there.
I fell in love with and married my wife in Bad Kreuznach, which is South and West of Frankfurt, in Rhineland Pfalz Palatinate.
The second time I was stationed there, was in Friedberg. Due north of Frankfurt, in the state of Hessen. If there are any Elvis fans here, I was stationed at Ray Barracks, where Elvis served in the late fifties.
I traveled extensivly while over there. Only made it to Munchen one time. Got to see the Glockenspiel and all the touristy sights, but the most profound was my tour of Dachau. Arbeit machs frei! I don’t believe in ghosts, but that place was absolutly crawling with them.
Did you ever make it to Salzburg, Austria? That had to be my favorite place, of all the places I traveled to in Europe.
Being a country boy, myself, I can see how you could find Germany to be claustrophobic. But, a country the size of Texas with 80 million citizens… if they had suburbs, there would be no countryside. All in all, I would give it two thumbs up. My wife and I truly loved it over there and would not hesitate to go back. Either to visit or to live.
As far as Alex is concerned; no, I don’t agree with him about his views on race, but I will fight to the death for his right to have them. Even if I do find them to be personally offensive.
RE: weaponry
its a good point actually. what we see in these african conflicts is alot more akin to gang warfare than warfare between or by industrialised countries. warfare seems a lot less civilised when you have to reach out with an assault rifle or a machete to harm your enemy instead of a gps guided missile strike or a stike force of trained soldiers against a sattelite surveiled target.
its a matter of scope, due to a difference in resources.
FlyingWeasel,
I don’t mean to be so blunt, but ALL WAR is uncivilized. The word ‘seems’ could only be uttered by someone that has never seen war firsthand, rather from the safety of an easy chair in front of a television set, watching ‘smart bombs’ destroy ‘antiseptic’ targets.
My apologies ahead of time if I have offended you, but I spend a great deal of time dealing with the aftermath of ‘civilized war’.
FlyingWeasel,
Please take note of the time stamp on this and my previous post. I am doing better than I have in a long time, but even so, I have been waking up in the middle of the night for about the past month and am unable to get back to sleep. I don’t know wheather to go lay back down, or make a pot of coffee and turn on the news.
I am generally a non-recaller when it comes to dreams, but I know I have been dreaming a lot, lately. I don’t remember the specifics, I just know that I wake up shaken and upset. I guess I should be happy that I have never awoken, screaming, and flailing around for cover. I feel sorry for those soldiers that end up with night terrors. I consider myself lucky that I only have disquieting dreams that I can’t remember.
My apologies again. For all I know, you could be/have been a soldier yourself.
