I don't think it will ever end. They obviously derive a great benefit from the behavior, and as long as they do, they have no real reason to change.

but in this case, it's a group mentality that's doing all this stupid stuff, which is why I wrote about it the way I did. I mean, all this burning in effigy stuff, the "let's shoot our guns straight up in the air and celebrate" stuff, the "they talked to Americans so they're bad" stuff,... sheesh!

Now, what I'm not necessarily upset about is Al Jazeera finally getting bad press in an Arabian country; maybe sometimes they actually can pass for true journalists, eh?

for a short while during the very first of the "Irag" conflict I went to that site several times. My reason was to try and get the Irag perspective on all that was happening and being reported by the media here. I soon got the impression the press from them was as biased and one agenda sided as some of the American press...needless to say I don't bother reading their type of Islamic 'propaganda' anymore. I'm not in the least sad about the bad press Al Jazeera has gotten...heap it on their heads and I hope those firey coals burn just a little sense into their hazy brains, I say.

I agree also with your very good point mentioned of "not grouping people." I do believe there are some of the people of Iraq who do not become involved in these kinds of demonstrations, and for the most part will be very happy the day all unrest there has ceased, and they can try to live a "normal" life again...whatever that means to them.

A reccent press release I watched said that doctors, professional people, or the more educated in Iraq were being targeted for killings and many have been killed and their families...the why??.. was not mentioned, but my opinion is that it is far easier for certain of those sects to manipulate the uneducated by eliminating those who can think for themselves and might otherwise speak out against them, and their methods of mass mind control.

It's a very sad thing the way some of these power hungry groups operate in this world of ours, both here and abroad.

Best to ya' Catfish.

and I'm all for keeping it over there myself.

sometimes you just have to get straight to the point. I think that, if some of these folks had something else to do, they wouldn't be so ready to go protesting so much and so often.

if you're going to try to get at me by bringing it up, at least spell New Orleans properly. Second, I'm a minority in America, so I know a little bit about oppression. Third, I've also lived in a slum, so I know something about poverty, or at least living around it.

I also know about people who don't have a clue. If one protests all the time about perceived slights, at some point it means absolutely nothing at all to anyone. Kind of like the story about the boy who cried wolf; ever heard that one? If not, read it, then come back to me with a more informed opinion.

And maybe try a period, or a comma, or some other punctuation. At least you used the capitals properly.

but they do have television, and even if they've been living in the dark ages, getting an understanding that going out and protesting at every single slight makes the process mean absolutely nothing in the end. Not that it means anything now.
