    There was a thread about this in AH a couple of days ago. One particular post summed up my own feelings on the matter...
    Kind of cool to be honest, would be pretty ****ing awesome if there was a lot more real world comeback to the utter ****e people spout on the internet.

    Is a permanent ban a bit over the top? Probably.
    Is it still nice to see the above? Most definitely.

    Y'know I'd much rather see Obama, the prick "seeing a real world comeback" for all the innocent people he has killed including women and children in his drones before I start worrying about what a child sends in an e-mail.

    It has nothing to do with Obama, you don't send that kind of stuff to the US President, regardless of who is in office.

    As for the criticism of him, this clearly isn't the forum for it but given what he's accomplished since winning the Presidency compared to what his predecessor did, don't you think you're being a little bit harsh? Or does every person who becomes US President automatically become a prick in your eyes?

    I don't see anything there mentioning Obama authorizing the strike? Nor do I see any complaints from Pakistan regarding the strike.

    Yes, of course it's a tragedy that the adjoining house was destroyed but why not ask the question, "Why are militants hiding amongst innocent civilians when they know they are putting their lives at risk by doing so?".

    No it wasn't a tragedy that the house was destroyed it was a tragedy that their were women and children inside who woke up that morning not knowing it would be their last day alive. Obama is repsonsible for their death, it's not all that complicated to be fair.

    what has obama accomplished?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,405 ✭✭✭gizmo


    I was of course referring to the Pakistani government but I don't see anything wrong with Khan's case either. The agreement should be made public knowledge so the population is aware under what circumstances strikes can be carried out.
    No it wasn't a tragedy that the house was destroyed it was a tragedy that their were women and children inside who woke up that morning not knowing it would be their last day alive. Obama is repsonsible for their death, it's not all that complicated to be fair.
    When I said the house was destroyed I of course meant that the people inside died. As for him being responsible, well I simply disagree and will counter that if those militants hadn't been there and hadn't committed acts which required such action, those people would still be alive.

    As for what Obama has accomplished, well in this context he committed to the cessation of combat operations in Iraq and the removal of active troops by August this year and managed to do it with a few days to spare. He also hasn't actually initiated any wars since taking over, not something to really boast about but given the actions of his predecessor, it's at least worth noting.

    Ohh sorry for saying bed things about the higher than high president, he's no different than the bush's or any other lying basstard that held that position.

    He's a lying wormonger scumbag, I hate the kunt just as much as I did bush.

    Well now, don't hold back, tell us what you really think.

    While I'm suspicious of anyone who does what it takes to become US president he is far better than Bush. He's not an idiot and seems to actually try to follow through on what he says.

    Its the thumb on the knuckle.Berty looked a bit flustered and looks to be an inch or so too high over the gap of the first two knuckles...but who wants to argue symantics.They do look like very similar handshakes and there are alot of examples and ussually its of those who frequent certain circles.Most other businessmen shake hands normally i think with a firm clasp as a show of strength.A weak handshake could send the wrong message.
    So why all the weak handshakes with these guys?

    They don't but the handshakes can differentiate between different levels or something, thumb touching first and second knuckle, then the second and third knuckle and some other level being fingers touching the wrist or something along those lines.

    One handshake I've seen practised in Ireland was the third finger of each persons hand interlocking mid-shake, apparently because the other secret handshakes have been blown all over the internet.

    I have to admit i have no idea of what handshakes might be used by the masons. What I do know is many of these handshakes are indistinguishable from every day handshakes. That Obama one is exactly the handshake i gave someone last week, not intentionally but turned out that way. When two people meet for the first time or meet very rarely handshakes can often be uncomfortable or awkward and can therefore look odd. This happens with me maybe 20% of the time and it sticks in my mind for some reason. Since I know I do it and I'm not a mason I find it difficult to ascribe masonic meaning when seeing other people do it.

    On June 3, 2009, the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) delivered a report sharply critical of US tactics. The report asserted that the US government has failed to keep track of civilian casualties of its military operations, including the drone attacks, and to provide means for citizens of affected nations to obtain information about the casualties and any legal inquests regarding them.

    Will the kid admitting that he called him a prick satisfy you?
    He said that he had called President Obama a ‘p***k’ but when asked if the action taken to ban him from going to America ‘forever’ was extreme, Mr Angel said he had been more abusive than that.

    The comment you supply has the kid admitting he called Obama a pricak and that he was also far more abusive then that.

    In the OP, however, you portrayed the ban for life as being " For calling Obama a prick!!".

    That would be like someone here hurling abuse and threats at another poster and finishing off by calling them stupid....getting banned....and someone else suggesting they were banned for calling another poster stupid.

    That's assuming that the suggestion that there were threats involved as well was a fabrication.

    I don't really see the issue with this in this context. What we have here is a suspected terrorist who is hiding in another nation with no extradition agreement in place with the US. If he is innocent then there is no reason why he can't return to the US and face due process. His case is high profile enough that they won't be able to simply brush it under the carpet as some may suggest.

    Apparently he is also an expected of working for the CIA by other Muslims.
    Just a warning on the above, I listened to some of the lecture and it is a little disturbing for some reason. I think it is a genuine jihadi type speaking. Interesting nonetheless. My computer has been having all kinds of crashes since I start looking into this stuff just now, white screen flashes and stuff, weird.

    Anyway. Don't you find the fact that the president can order citizens killed without any accountabilty or reason a terribly dangerous precedent?

    As I said, in this context no. If this man is indeed innocent, there is nothing stopping him from coming forward and proclaiming his innocence. Given the level of interest from civil rights groups there is no way anything would happen to him if he did this. Also taking into consideration the fact that Obama has used the state secret act so seldom since coming into office it's quite obvious there is a strong case against him otherwise such measures would not have been taken.

    As for the subsequent links, can you please link to some stories regarding the innocent deaths at the hands of Mohammed Ali Hamadi? How about because of Baitullah Mehsud? Or maybe Hakimullah Mehsud?

    Do you even know who these people are? What they have done? Probably not unfortuantely, yet I'm sure it'll be easy to find hundreds of articles about how the US have "slaughtered" hundreds of people in Pakistan. While I'm all for denouncing the heavy handed tactics of the US military when it's called for, the bias in the other direction sickens me equally.
