A politically-correct conversation about the troubles in our world.
 
Hello. I have started this conversation becouse most of you are impolitically-correct and out of order. The trouble in today's world is the Blaster Worm. I do not like it at all, it is a bad computer virus. It should be terminated for good.

Umm...hate to be the one to tell you, but there's much worse things in the world than a silly computer virus, paramud...

oddguy 09-23-2003 10:51 PM

You don't have to be politically-correct about a computer virus. I don't see anyone here debating whether or not viruses should exist. I think we all agree that viruses suck. Now if you just wanted to start a discussion thread about worldly problems, that would apply more to your computer virus subject.

Politicaly-correct conversation would be topics more like:
Abortion
and Blah Blah stuff like that, in which case if that started I would avoid this thread with fear!:eek:

Politically-correct conversations are not like that! And plus it's conversations
New topic: Osama Bin Laden. From what I know is hes a crack-addicted Afghani who wants to take over the world... Now tell me people why is that so hard to find? He is very bad and I've heard that hes living here in Californa. I find this "news" stupid (this is just my opinion). I hate him.

oddguy 09-24-2003 12:07 AM

I live in California! You could be talkin' to Osama right now! Hehehe!:devil:

Correction: talking. what is your side of the debate, Oddguy? You need to have a side of the debate. Is he bad? Is he ok?

Actually, hes a native Saudi that was dickhead enough to get thrown out. Also, some think he might still be in the Hindu-Kush mountains. You know, with caves, and great hiding places, and plenty of extremist servants.

Now for my side; He's dumb.

Correction (don't band me for this please):was a dickhead. caves, great hiding places, and alot of extremist servants.
So you are not for Osama Bin Chicken.what about you, Oddguy? are you for or not for Osama Bin Laden?

Alcar 09-24-2003 04:52 AM

I still somewhat doubt Osama's role in the Trade Center terrorist strikes. I know it's been proven, but it all seemed as if he just decided to jump in, and take the praise.

Either way, based on what is known I'd say I'm indifferent. America had it coming, but the people that were murdered were the ones that should have lived.

Why is it that the politicians always live?

Alcar...

oddguy 09-24-2003 05:00 AM

I live in America and I feel bad for those who lost their lives in 9/11, but we did have it coming. America pisses evryone off all the time, and never thought an attack would occur because America is so great. Now it seems America uses 9/11 as it's clame to fame, ya know what I mean?

Osama Bin Laden had a cause though. Anyway, the CIA trained him to fight the Iraqi's...that parts the funniest...

Correction 1: the 'w' of 'what' should be capitalised.

Correction 2: 'ok' should be either fully capitalised (i.e. 'OK') or be spelt phonetically (i.e. 'okay')

What comes around goes around. Being picky like this is annoying. What if you come across a dyslexic or someone who isn't fluent in the English language?

Anyway, I haven't really got much of an opinion on Osama, but I have quite a strong view on political correctness.

Never correct me. Say I spelled something wrong.

Majic 09-24-2003 08:30 PM

Osamo was mainly pissed at the fact that American troops had been in and around Mecca ( I think) during the first gulf war, which is considered one of the holiest places for the Islamic faith. Though, had troops not been there, it would have been another place for Iraqi soliders to safely flee to. I'm not sure, but if Saudia Arabia DID allow permission, then politically, there would be no harm. Osamo is simply associates himself with one of the most extreme subdivisions of Islam, thus is justification is given.

Plus, I don't exactly remember hearing about other countries hating America much before 9/11, excluding countries know and blacklisted as supporting terrorism and admitting to using terrorism as a way to execute political feelings.

Also, justification for America not helping out other poor and developing countires is an outrageous claim or justification for something like 9/11. Many countries that could use the help are corrupt, and money pumped in could easily be used against intended reasons.

We didn't have the generalized and stereotypical "had it coming". Being a large, developed country isn't justification isn't a worthwhile reason. No country, its simply because of the fact America is also stereotyped as being the land of the free, or a promised sort of land for those wanting to start a new life. Really, its not going to be drastically different from some European country (exclude population/square mile/kilometer here).

I can't wait for someone to jump on my ass now, and point out a fact I didn't know or missed:) Still though, its better to actually try and put some reasonable thought into something than jump on the bandwagon or base beliefs on a common or over propagated stereotype...

Well no, it's just that this is a politically-correct thread so I want people to be more politically-correct. I mean it's not my fualt that I'm superior to most twelve-year olds!

oddguy 09-24-2003 10:55 PM

What does that have to do with you pointing out everyones mistakes?!

Correction. You spelled "fault" wrong!:D In your face!:p

Correction: You are annoying.

Someone being annoying is a point of opinion not a fact.

True, I'm sure God likes you.:fuzwink:

Donät... crappy Swedish... Don't talk about my religion!

oddguy 09-25-2003 12:04 AM

Anyway, I'm sorry I blew up at you paramud. Oh yeah, Osama is stupid, but in his mind he thinks that he is doing the right thing. Very strange.

His opinions actually differ from what the Kora says. Its quite funny, once you get past the fact quite a few have died from it. I'm a sick minded bastard:)

EDIT: And stop correcting people. Applying to everyone. Next person gets a warning. Honestly...

Then you know very little.

Osama Bin Chicken
Why is he a chicken? Would you not hide if you had an entire country wanting you dead?

Anyways, I like Osama, not for what he did, but for his striped beard and funny hat. He inspired many great Flash cartoons.

Dude, I love that song. Well, more of the fact I eventually found it. I had heard it once, had no clue what it was called, and had to spend like 30 minutes searching around on it. *sigh*

Why? Isn't it my thread (I know that I don't actually own but I'm just saying)? Can't I correct people if I want to? Why are you so hurt-full? :crying:

Majic 09-25-2003 11:35 PM

Anythings ok until conflicts arise. Plus, its just not very cutrious. Also, if you did it on a continual basis, you would definitely set yourself up to recieve some jokes on you in other threads.

paramud 10-21-2003 08:41 PM

Alcar, close this thread... It seems no one likes me :(...
