pinx you lost me… can you explain to me what do mean by “the fact that the US hasn’t had a great past” ?
just curious…
Name one country that has such a rosey history…
in other words we have been terrorists too.
@ the story: I heard on my loacal news. I used to play LAX down there in the North/New Haven area. and let me tell you, the area isnt the nicest, sort of “Ghetto”//really bad area. Just not a good town.
So your saying that me and my boys should Hijack a few planes and smash them into a few towers in Germany because of the atrocities it had comitted back in the day?
I am so glad I dont think like you pinx.

oh. sorry, i mean that it’s not like the US hasn’t been involved in any bad stuff before. hence my example with japan. japan bombs pearl harbor, a military base, and the US retaliates by dropping the A bomb on them. a little excessive, don’t you think?

no that’s not what i’m saying, don’t try to turn my words around and sound smart please. that’s lame.
what i’m trying to say is, just like we don’t glorify other countries who get bombed (by us, sometimes), the world shouldn’t glorify the US for getting their *** kicked.
Fez:
I´m not speaking for pinx, but regardless of if what USA has been doing is right or wrong, to people like Bin Laden and Saddan it will always be an atrocity, a disrespect to theyr religion, and yada yada yada…
so, these ppl will make revenge in the best way they know, terror.
that´s a cold hard fact… unfortunately 
mdipi: Ghetto isn’t a slang word. It is a real word that means a place where minorities live. I don’t know if you knew that, I was just wondering why you had it in quotes is all.
As for this yale issue, just heard about it now, I don’t really know how to react to it.
And pinx: Every country has it’s downside of history, some more than others, but not one is without it’s faults.

Honestly, if I knew I would tell you.
haha, i’m glad we understand each other.
Lost i put it in quotes cause i was using it as a slang for slums. so i put it in quotes cause i am using it outta the deffinition
mdipi: but ghetto areas are slum areas. :elevator music plays: let me see if I can find the actual definition :continues playing elevator music:
a quarter of a city in which members of a minority group live especially because of social, legal, or economic pressure
hmm ok then maybe i wasnt using it outta context. lol thanks! i usually think of it as a slang werd though. but now i know different
Yeah, here in “Philly” everythings ghetto…lol. The word is used for many things so I can see how it would be thought to be a slang word if it is used the same way where you live.
i think it will take us as long as it is taking us to find osama.
Yeah - a terrorist would have more likely wanted to take out as many lives as possible. We glorify our situation just as much as any other country would - esp when this is eerily similar to something that could be terrorist related. As an alternative to the A-bomb, would you prefer a long and dangerous hand-to-hand battle instead pinx? In a war a country does what it needs to protect the lives of its own troops. War isn’t fun, fair, or friendly
Now, if 50 years from now, we are jingoing chants of 9/11 for something such as a local gas station robbery, there may be a problem!
Cheers!

pinx:
You make a good point, but 1945 Japan was given many chances to surrender before the bombs were dropped. They even refused to surrender after the first bomb was dropped.
If USA hadn’t dropped the bombs, it is argued that Japan would have fought to the last standing man.
Someone was going to use the technology, in order to prove it’s power, it’s was the US’s choice to step up and make the statement. Whether right or wrong.
