I thought you were. No one could really think that there are no extremists in America. I didn't fall for your trolling though. :P


Oh, the old "I know you are but what am I?" ploy. That's about your speed, I suppose, so good game.



Huh? I'm serious. No one could really believe there are no extremists in America. Only a troll could have written something that stupid then claim anyone is a troll who doesn't agree.

Even 'so much' is bad... What possibly problem could you have AT ALL with thinking for yourself? Is it scary for you? Do you need a blankie when you have a thought that wasn't force fed you?

An advert for a free Toshiba laptop? How did that stop you thinking for yourself?

The only thing i dont understand...
why dig up old dirt and put forth a bill now, when this was so long ago?

It's like saying
"Mr. MonkeyBush, you should apologize to the Persians for the Britts running amok in the "holy land"". Y'know?

Maybe i missed something though. If i did, please explain, but i just don't see why someone would bring it up now, when it's blatantly obvious that they have more pressing issues to address.

Like when SMN is going to get Bahamut ^^;

I was in my policy class last night. There was about 5mins left of class and we were discussing 'material vs symbolic' policy. I made the mistake of bringing up this Armenian genocide resolution and my professor went off on a 15 minute oratory of genocide through history. We got out late and my classmates gave me dirty looks.

I blame Jophiel.

In further news...
The Trib's politics blog wrote:
A week after a House committee recognized the killing of as many as 1.5 million Armenians during World War I as genocide, officials will award a Congressional Gold Medal to the Dalai Lama. President Bush, who urged Democratic House leaders against taking up the genocide resolution for fear of antagonizing key Middle Eastern ally Turkey, is planning to attend the ceremony for the Tibetan Buddhist leader Wednesday at the Capitol.

"We are furious," Zhang Qingli, head of the Communist Party in Tibet, said today in Beijing, Reuters is reporting. "If the Dalai Lama can receive such an award, there must be no justice or good people in the world."

The Dalai Lama has lived in exile since leading a failed uprising against Chinese rule in Tibet in 1959. He advocates publicly for Tibetan autonomy within China; Chinese officials say his real goal is independence. They consider him an enemy of the state.

"China has solemnly demanded the United States cancel the above-mentioned and extremely wrongful arrangement," Chinese Foreign Minister Yan Jiechi told reporters at the 17th Communist Party Congress, according to Reuters.

China has withdrawn from multilateral talks on Iran this week in protest; a spokesman for the foreign ministry warned the award would have an "extremely serious impact" on relations between the United States and China.

Bush was planning to meet with the Dalai Lama today and attend the ceremony Wednesday.
Although we're obviously not allied with China, we are reliant upon them for political pressure in several arenas (Iran, N. Korea) and they can negate actions in the UN with their Security Council vote. Of course, China blocking the US via the Security Council is almost a foregone conclusion anytime something big hits the UN anyway. I think it's safe to say that there's no real benefit to giving the Dalai Lama a gold medal from the government except that it's a nice thing to do.

Weren't we laughing at Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a couple weeks ago for denying the Holocaust?

I realize W is used to getting laughed at (& personal feelings aside, I do realize that W isn't nearly the "evil *******" that Ahmadinejad is) but at what point will it get to be too much? Veto giving kids healthcare one day then veto an internationally recognized genocide the next.

I'd be embarassed, if ya know, he hadn't already been President going on 7 years.

/sigh.

Bet there are grieving family members in Iraq who would disagree. It's all a matter of perspective, eh.

What do the two have to do with each other at all?

Did you read the resolution?

Bush can not 'veto' an internationally recogized genocide. Smiley: confused
