I don't think all southern states are racist. I Definitely don't think that, despite what I have said. I'm not that ignorant. In certain areas there is some heavy racism still however, texas specifically. If you don't think so, then you're wrong. I've known some people from texas who have told me about the racism in the areas they lived in. I don't think everyone in texas is white, either. Also, I never said I had any stance on the war, I was giving an example, although you probably implied I was liberal from my examples, but actually, I'm neither conservative or liberal. I dont' want to get into a political debate. I don't appreciate you accusing me of ignorance and then insulting me.
The traditional definition of a redneck is a poor, uneducated white person usualy living in the country side in the southern US. Used as an insult, it's more of saying you 'act' like such, and that is more of a matter of opinion, so you can think whatever the heck you want for your definition. A dictionary doesn't define a word, people do.
I never even said that if you support the war you're a warmongor. In fact, I take that whole statement as completely radical, and probably not the best example, since I pissed you off just by using it. I "labeled" southerners as racist to get a point across on ust that subject, labeling. Political correstness has all to do with labeling. I kind of went off on a tangent.
I like how you used genius sarcastically, as if I was an idiot. I know you enjoy ripping my arguements to shreds. I was never trying to offend you, yet you explode with such hatred. You have some serious anger issues.
Dont get Sasquatch Started. He's gonna try and make his agenda and his beliefs seem like its the absolute truth. He cant debate without making snide remarks and insults about people.
Anywayz, that war on terror is a joke. There was never a war against us. The thing about america is, although 9/11 was a terrible thing, we only got a little taste of what the world goes through ALL THE TIME. This wasnt even the first time america has had a terrorism attack. They tried to blow up the WTC back in 1993/94. Terrorism isnt something new. Its just new to us. We as americans have a silly way of thinking that we are safe in america from outside forces. Its a foolish belief, but its the only one we know because thats all we've had. There is no way to fight an army that has no country or face. Who do we fight? Do we only fight arabs to fight terrorism? What about terrorist who come from white countries? What about terrorist that come from black countries? What about jewish Terrorist? This war on terror is a complete joke and a waste of money. I supported bush when he wanted to go after Osama. That was justified, but when he wanted to go into Iraq, it didnt make since. Saddam was a bad person but come on. He wasn't a Direct treat to america. I dont want to even here that right-wing BS about how he was. He wasnt. Not only that, when his arguement about WMD's in iraq fell through, he started sprouting off crap about fighting for iraqi freedom. Why the hell is that our job? If those iraqi's had wanted saddam out, they should have (and eventually would have) ousted his regiem themselves. Why should we be even forcing democracy in the middle east. Who cares. Thats another problem with america. We wanted to be separate from england so that we could be free to do what we please, and yet, we tell the rest of the world they have to be a democracy. Cause its the "right" thing to be. SAys who? Thats why arab countries hate us. We are a land of hypocracies. Our government says one thing, then does another. The sad thing is, People are so concerned now about the labels we call ourselves that we either have to be Liberal or concervative. So its come down to either being agaisnt the war or for the war, without either side taking a look at whats really going on here. We are being LIED to day in and day out by our government and no one is making a big deal about it.
Now Sasquatch, in know your gonna sprout off to me some crap about you being in the Army so you presumed to know so much more than everybody else, but who cares. The keep the military in the dark just as much as the public. Your job is to fight the war and follow orders. So unless your pretty high up in rank, you dont know much more than anybody else does. Oh, thank you for serving the country though.( not sarcastic). Somebody has to protect iraqi freedom and stop terrorism ( sarcastic)
