It always ends up that way when Jeppan posts in a thread.

LOL

Well I only post when someone like Dan, Cipher or Zak has posted something rascist/incredibly stupid/ignorant post.

What comes first, the hen or the egg?

The egg. If you can't figure out why, well, its not my job to educate you.

She's right. The egg came before the hen.

And it's more than a little audacious and absurd of you to put words in my mouth then condemn me for it. I never suggested the two were equal, only that I was willing to BET Jeppan was both Anti American AND Anti Semitic. When put to the question, he has only responded with further rebukes. Is hating one any worse than hating the other in your mind, Cassiel? It's perfectly fine to be Anti American, but the mere hint of Anti Semitism is cause for offense? What an amazing double standard.

So why did I bring it up? In the Arab world, anti American sentiment can be traced back to America's association with Israel. "Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are." In other words, it is derived from anti Semitism and within Arab culture, anti Semitism is endemic. Even the children are not spared the indoctrination. But then you probably don't read about that on Ali's Internet blog. If you grew up there, you'd know. What I've been trying to understand is Jeppan's basis for hating America. Has he ever lived here? Does he really understand who and what he professes to hate so much? I can say with absolute certainty that most Arabs do not, and it doesn't appear to me that he does either, ergo the wager.

Address the issues, huh? This "I lived there once and hated it so I can write off a whole culture" crap is getting really tired.

And the "I've visited there once and talked to a few blokes so I know more than you morons" crap isn't a tired routine, Cassiel? When exactly did I "write off a whole culture"? Are we reading the same forums here Cassiel?

Yet more ducking the question with rebukes. I'm not the ignorant - or racist - one here, comrade. That much should be plainly obvious to you by now. Conversely, you hate an entire nation without basis and continue to resort to name calling when pressed to explain why. Is that not the very definition of ignorant?

Yes! then again you're a very crude man indeed.

Actually the sperm being made on a daily basis came long after the egg was innitially created. Now the sperm did precede the zygote, I ain't gonna front, but only by a few days if even that.

However all of this is academic since all that matters is where the mutations took place to modify the non-chicken offspring into a resultant chicken offspring.

Cipher,

i did not respond to your obvious provocation about me being anti-semitic cause it just plain stupid. It does not have anything to do with anything. Furthermore, as I have stated numerous times, my problem with america is it´s foreign policy. I have not responded to the questions if I hate america since I find it equally silly as your accusations about anti-semitism.

Your opinion on hate has been clearly been put to print in this thread and in my view your credibility is about as good as member of the KKK (are you a member perhaps?).

Don´t confuse my contempt for how the US bombs the world to cinders with hate for americans. There is a world of difference.

-----

The real hate, as I see it, is how the religious right of these forums view towards the arab world, which is as diverse and complex as any other continent. Talking about people in the middle east as savages says a lot about what kind of fairy tale world you live in. It explains a lot about the deceit the average american has been subject to and why Bush has been elected twice.

You bastage!! You're implying my thoughts on the matter aren't thought out!

You must clearly be a nerf herder.

lol how about "Iranian goverment" is savages, and the other side can go with "i hate the Usa goverment". That way it would stop half this same ole bickering back and forth.

Or you could accept that the unicellular zygote came before the chicken!

If the sperm came first then the rooster came before the egg which came before the hen...

So that means god is not a women afterall. Sorry Mik.
