I'll take that as a 'no' then.

Surely one aspect of diplomacy is to take away the reason why people are organizing to destroy you.

Unless the reasons are unreasonable or irrational.

 

[TAE]

No, especially if the reasons are unreasonable or irrational.

No, especially if the reasons are unreasonable or irrational.

How about 'stop living your evil life, and convert to our religion'?

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Never been there. Why do you ask?

Oh, I just picked a random issue from when you were here the last time.

(Edit: poster banned, btw.)

Because Aldebaran's words regarding America are patently hateful. That's why.

Yawn, so which returning nutter were you then?

Ah, rogue spam. He was hardly a supporter of the Dems and I would imagine he's no Obama supporter either.

 

[Aldebaran]

I think in Aldebaran's case the word "hatred" is accurate, but if I understand him correctly (from what he said on other threads) he mainly hates the current US government, and those who voted for that government.

No it isn't. Endless deep disgust and anger - with very much reason, or do you love those who murder the people you deeply love - is what it is about.

In my experience people who speak this language use the word "hate" far too lightly, as if they have no idea about its meaning. Hate is by far the most destructive, all consuming, blinding emotion anyone can addict himself to.
Would I be born an idiot I might -possibly - be able to hate. Since thankfully I'm not an idiot I find it completely impossible to get myself addicted to no matter what.

salaam.

The people who use the word "hate" liberally tend to be supporters of the US's never-ending wars abroad. It also tends to get used as a reply to anyone who criticises the Bush regime and its cosy relationship with corporate America. For some good examples of this you could have a look at Delphi Forums's Bully Pulpit, anyone who doesn't show the correct responses to points put across by neo-cons and militarist loonies, are always labelled "hateful".

That's the one, I couldn't remember the name but I thought he sounded familiar (see my post #92) !

Sure, we can use in-your-face christian evangelism as well, but that's not what I was thinking of.

Probably in the hope of recieving an answer. Do you have one, nino?

Ah, still following me around? What a surprise!
