EPTInstead I see posters using an American tragedy as an excuse to start bashing the United States.
Really disappointed TL. Can't we stay relevant to the topic and not derail into senseless hate?

Stop the country bashing, and the conspiracy theories or bans will start to be handed out. | ||

Absolutely not, because many people on the internet have inflated egos so think that they know everything about everybody. They can't ever be wrong, especially when they live 1000s of miles from places they've never been too.  | ||

Learn the facts and think with your head, without the influence of biased news reports. Go young padawan and find the truth. And after all the facts you've discovered ask yourself this question, which party's are profiting over all these wars, fear mongering and terrorist attacks. Sad thing is it doesn't matter what you believe and who is right or wrong. The US hasn't been in peace for 5 years in a row ever since their entire history, whatever will happen will happen, it's just a matter of time. Terrorists, Communists, Dictators, what ever. I feel sorry for innocent people living in the states, it's like what George Carlin said "When you're born in this world you've been given a ticket to the freakshow, and when you're born in America you're given a front row seat." Just my two cents. | ||

Heck if the Japanese tsunami happened in either of these two countries somewhere past page 5 it would probably degenerate into this BS. | ||

I hate terrorism but hate grows hate. USA has been attacking countries all over the world, causing civilian deaths and tearing families, homes etc apart, for their cause. Al Qaeda is doing the same, for their causes, though with way more limited supplies. User was warned for this post | ||

When I was 3 years old I lost my father and older brothers, and a year after that my mother and me moved to Sweden. I think you're the wrong guy to be judging people based on where they live. Pretty ironic concidering that you recently wrote "Absolutely not, because many people on the internet have inflated egos so think that they know everything about everybody. " | ||

It might also be worth it to note that the amount of innocent civilians in iraq/afghanistan who died is nearly infinitely larger than the amount of american soldiers/citizens or terrorists who died. It is also interesting to see how the government spends nearly an infinite amount of money more per person who dies because of terrorism, than the amount that is spent per person whose death could have been easily prevented, for example the case of people not being able to afford health insurance, because this very same government has the delusional idea that a privately owned corporation that has the intent to make an infinite amount of profit, will be able to provide a better and cheaper (health care) service than a government that has not the intent to make more money, but has the intent to actually provide the service and break even. Furthermore I just don't believe this, like some others said, they say this every year. In my opinion it's fox news content. "Oh, give in your liberties, we'll protect you!". Just my 2 cents. | ||

Ok, maybe I should have done it in a less "trollish" manner, but 99% (slight exaggeration) of the people here don't know what the fuck they are talking about. In fact, you showed how I didn't know what the fuck I was talking about. Thus, proving my point. | ||

As hard as I try to avoid messed up news and people, it's inescapable. It's not just religion of course. People get killed over the stupidest argument; I haven't looked but I'm sure some people get killed for whistling too loudly, etc. I hate the news. | ||

You had nothing to contribute to the actual topic? | ||

No, at least I admit that I don't know everything like most of the "self-proclaimed experts" around here. Any thread on TL that involves American Politics in any sort of way devolves into America bashing, regardless of the OP's intentions. I usually ignore stupid comments, but it's been getting on my nerves recently. | ||
