diablopilot 2 #51 February 4, 2008 QuoteQuoteQuoteAre there any people with above-average intelligence who strap explosives on and blow themselves up? Great point. I think that's simplifying the situation just a tad... Eh, I think to often people make things more complicated than they really are, and that is a leading cause of disagreement which leads to misunderstanding, and conflict.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

kelpdiver 2 #52 February 4, 2008 Quote And that's a sad commentary on the juvenile tactics used by many people here. Rather than stand and speak on principle and condemn these horrid actions, as 100% of people rightfully should, they instead choose to play childish "gotcha" games. Yes. Such things never happen in Speakers Corner. We're way too serious for that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know you meant it as a joke, but why perpetuate the stereotype that so many USA bashers embrace as the truth? Give me a break. I was in the NAVY.

juanesky 0 #57 February 5, 2008 Quote Quote THere are Spanish Psychologyst students in these forums, that think simply to engage in pedophilia is to taste "forbiden delights" so I am not surprised. I see you are still having problems with that "taking everything literally" issue. Asperger sindrome is a bitch. I suggest you to take a look at the syndrome F84.5 of DSM-IV. You may see yourself well represented and it can give you a couple of tips so you will not make a fool of yourself on a daily basis. In the other hand, how funny that you among everybody happens to join a thread about mentally retarded people being used in bombings. Just in case if someone with beard who talks funny give you a backpack, just say no. Hmm, and you think you are subtle when you call me autistic? I think the person between you and me, who has problems with simple concepts comprehension is, oh well, you. Since you would not argue or ask facts about the US army and how it trains its soldiers, and how the UCMJ works, and how much we spend in actually paying any damages to civilians, for properties, injuries, etc, unlike your beloved muhamed terrorists, and juts decide to delusionally lump both sides all together, then there is no point, fact or knowledge you wnat to actually discuss, but only your hatred for the US is what will prevail from your side. Too bad. Now, about your demostrated ability to advocate pedophilia, I think for someone studying psychology would now better, but I guess I stand corrected. The standards have been lowered in Spain I guess."According to some of the conservatives here, it sounds like it's fine to beat your wide - as long as she had it coming." -Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darius11 12 #66 February 5, 2008 Wow there seems to be a general problem with reading comprehension and it is usually the same people. I don't know. I think Pedophiles should be killed and even when I read it I get the Botellines is simply trying to explain the reasoning behind the act. That at the age of 14 most of us might have had a crush on a hot teacher or two. Doesn’t make the action of the teacher right but simply describes the true feelings some of us go through. Of course the same people who have an issue with reading comprehension have the same issue accepting facts that don’t fit there narrow view of the world.I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nerdgirl 0 #70 February 6, 2008 Quote Pointing out liberal elitism equates to a chip on the shoulder? Who woulda thunk it? I escaped the brainwashing 'societal indoctrination' early. As opposed to Dr. David Petraeus (& former asst prof) who holds a PhD from the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University. (?) From his Alumni Profile: “Before heading to graduate school I suspected that, while at WWS, interactions with fellow students would prove stimulating; in truth, they proved to be even more so than I had anticipated. My years at Princeton were truly wonderful in every respect, and I remain indebted to the professors and staff of the School who helped make the experience so enjoyable and stimulating.” More of his own words from an article he authored for the July-Aug 2007 issue of the conservative magazine, American Interest,: "Through such schooling our officers are often surprised to discover just how diverse and divergent views can be. We only thought we knew the contours of debate on a given subject. We discover not only that some very smart folks see the world very differently than we do, but that they also see it very differently from each other. Debates we imagined to be two-sided turn out to be three-, four- or more-sided. "It is sometimes said that the study of history, or government and politics, or other social science and humanities disciplines can help us ask the right questions, but cannot provide us specific answers to contemporary challenges. Certainly, a typical grad school experience—especially an interdisciplinary one like that provided at Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School or SAIS at Johns Hopkins or Harvard’s Kennedy School—does help us to ask the right questions. However, in many cases, graduate school also provides real skills, knowledge and expertise on which one can draw in developing answers to those questions. I can give examples from my own experience. "In my own experience, I found the most valuable situations to be those in which exceedingly bright senior professors held views substantially different from my own. I developed a particular friendship with one such professor at Princeton, one of the country’s leading international legal scholars at the time—even though we truly saw the world through different lenses. "... grad school forces a person to redefine upward one’s own internal standards of excellence. That’s a very healthy experience, so much so that I especially recommend it for all young captains who think, to any degree, that they’re the stuff—which is to say, every young infantry captain. Of course, I also recommend it for aviators of all ranks and services—that should almost go without saying." And perhaps, most important in the long run & for the nation, speaking to the civilian-military divide: "Sending American military officers to graduate school also benefits our country as a whole by helping to bridge the gap between those in uniform and those who, since the advent of the all-volunteer force, have had little contact with the military. The truth is that, just as the military has developed certain stereotypes of academics, journalists and other civilians over the years, these groups in turn hold certain stereotypes about those in the military. It’s important that we in the military understand those we serve—the American people—and it is equally important that our citizens understand those in uniform who have raised their right hand and sworn to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic."
