    Banned from Italy? Shyeeeeeet. Hope you can get Dr. Otker pizza's in the US.

    The pizza in America blows away anything you'll find in Italy.

    Even the German Pizza.

    At this point, I see no difference between the 2 sides, what with both torturing and murders civilians as they please. The murder of rescue workers is particularly striking, due the 9/11 justification being offered up in defense. How are the US any better after murdering rescue workers?

    Anti-American at all costs

    So you can't dispute the facts that I pointed out? All, you have is a desperate and quite frankly silly little slur.

    Being against the US bombing funerals and rescue workers (something you don't dispute happens btw), is not Anti-American. Its just Anti-murderous ass holes.

    Now, I can only come to the conclusion that you support the US murder of civilians, as you called me Anti-American, soley for pointing the US murderous terrorism. Pretty sickening that anyone would defend the murder of civilians, due soley to the fact, it is the US that is doing it.

    BTW, I have nothing against the average American. They seem to get pretty damn screwed over by there government half the time as well.

    Also, a great deal of irony, is tha the source I posted for that was from an American website, and written by an American. If I truly had an irrational hate of them, as you claim, why would I be on one of there websites, and reading an American author?

    The US does not have a policy of targeting civilians. You choose not to believe this.

    Your last paragraph sounds rather desperate.

    Yes, they do, and have taught others this policy of murder:

    The School of the Americas: Class over?

    Still, can't dispute a single thing I have posted I see. Your giving me a good laugh defending murder of civlians, as long as its done by the US, by pretending it didn't happen.

    There even killing people, who they have no idea who they are:
    White House approves broader Yemen drone campaign

    The United States has begun launching drone strikes against suspected al-Qaeda operatives in Yemen under new authority approved by President Obama that allows the CIA and the military to fire even when the identity of those who could be killed is not known, U.S. officials said.

    Above emphasis mine. So there killing people, who they have no idea who they are as well. So basically, guilty until proven otherwise. If a Middle Eastern dictator tried to pull that crap, he would be roundly condemn, but as usual there is a seperate rule for the US.

    Coming from someone who can't dispute a single fact that I have pointed out, thats a bit rich. When, your arguement descends to, insisting you right solely on your say so, then you are in desperate place.

    The CIA are welcome to take these lunatics off our hands. If they can't stand freedom of speech and the liberties offfered in the west they might appreciate it after a trip to cia rendition centre.

    The ironing is strong in thee.

    The link you posted proved my point. The policy is to target operatives, not civilians. The US does not set out to murder civilians.

    Your hardly one to talk about liberties, when you support something, that clearly goes against those liberties. Simply hypocrisy imho.

    There are limits to liberty, the common good trumps the rights of a small minority who want to destroy freedom because they think thier belief system is irrefutable.

    Desperate is an understatement. There is a war going on where Westerners are being targeted by these terrorists. I am only irritated by the fact that these terrorists were picked up so publicly and the process was discovered. These people should have been quietly picked up and shipped out to face the consequences of their actions.

    And wow they do a fantastic job of it :) The Islamic terrorists on the other hand target ordinary people and slaughter as many of them as they can so that they can spend their time in heaven with a bunch of virgins..... how perverted is that.

    Thank goodness for America.

    So why bother with a legal system?

    Just allow America to abduct whoever they want off the streets of Europe.

    Do you think they always kidnap the "right people"?

    What you propose destroys freedom. Again, if you don't believe in it, then fair enough, but lets stop pretending that you believe in freedom. If you believe in freedom, then you believe in laws etc. I have yet to see any good reason, why these guys can't be arrested and tried in courts in a lot of cases.

    Then, there is the fact that the US has purposefully killed civilians. So quite frankly they aren't exactly shining examples of virtue themselves.

    THE ODD CIVILIAN?!

    118,000 civilians have died in Iraq SO FAR and the count goes on.


    Get a ****ing grip.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,923 ✭✭✭cloptrop


    Its the horrors of guerrilla war. I think the spy thing with the kidnapping is better thanthe bombing . Up the cia . Prisoners bein taken out of the country with nobody getting killed. Its the ones who use the bombing tactics that are bad .
    I say leave em too it .

    You clearly have a great knowledge of the subject and are using great logic and debating skill in your replies.

    As usual.

    So I assume there will be no delay in the US handing over these terrorists.

    And why has there been no investigation into why the guards turned a blind eye to similar crimes in Ireland, and who ordered them to do so? :mad:

    Wonder if the yanks are worried.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 465 ✭✭Rigol


    I knew a Dr Oetker, he was on my fetac doctorate course in pizza physiology.
    All the obstetrics places were taken, so it was that or gynecology, we both agreed that we prefer the smell of pizza.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 65 ✭✭EclipsiumRasa


    So exactly how serious should any of this be taken?

    Italy isn't about to do anything that would deter US investors in their country. Is this just a bunch of legal bluster to prevent their politicians being seen as utterly impotent?

    It seems unlikely any of the 23 from the US will set foot on Italian soil, and even more unlikely Italy would try and pressure any country they have extradition treaties with to arrest and extradite them to Italy.

    So its all just a load of hot air?

    Thread has opened some eyes, I never knew Dr. Oetker was a real person!

    Screw that, I had never even heard of Dr. Oetker.

    Then again, I don't like pizza.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,227 ✭✭✭The Highwayman

    Name one?

    Post of the day.. clap clap clap :eek:

    Some food for thought

    First they came for the communists,
    and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

    Then they came for the socialists,
    and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists,
    and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews,
    and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew

    Then they came for me,
    and there was no one left to speak for me.

    Its your mind set that allowed the holocaust

    Your post and the people who thanked it are without any doubt in my mind the most stupid thing on the internet
