If people actually learned from history that you can’t hold an empire..power corrupts absolute power corrupts absolutely..don’t even know why we need strategic influence, we don’t interfere for humanitarian reasons just strategic and economic
Liking the glam rock.. not the artist in this case but the “song” shame he had to turn out a dirty paedo

and ‘shock and awe”, as the war against Iraq was termed by the US and UK military commanders, isn’t barbarism??
I give way to nobody on my revulsion against ISIS, and the terrible suffering they cause.
But it’s a right-wing hate thread developing here, and the suffering of refugees is a rightful antidote.
We should show ourselves a bit better than ISIS in our reactions, and that means rejecting the xenophobia and hate-filled tripe we’ve seen on these boards when it comes to refugees.
Kids are kids – you don’t divide them into our country’s kids and other countries’ kids, in my opinion. Kids are kids, and need protection from war, whether launched by us or by ISIS.
The picture is a good antidote to a xenophobic hate-thread
I’m not “arguing” I’m saying that this thread isn’t neccesarily xenophobic..least I hope that wasn’t the intention, I agree with scep up to a point, but hate filled ?
The refugee subject has it’s own thread, I don’t think this thread was aimed at refugees though it did attempt to poke fun at Muslims, thats allowed surely even if an individual doesn’t find it funny. Would anyone have objected if it had been Christians were the butt of the jokes ?Their aunt Teema Kurdi, a hairdresser in Vancouver, heard the news from her brother Mohammad’s wife, Ghuson. “She had got a call from Abdullah, and all he said was, my wife and two boys are dead,” she told the National Post.
“I was trying to sponsor them, and I have my friends and my neighbours who helped me with the bank deposits, but we couldn’t get them out, and that is why they went in the boat.
“I was even paying rent for them in Turkey, but it is horrible the way they treat Syrians there.”
Rented accomadation in Turkey according to his aunt, still a very sad, tragic and emotive picture just wasn’t needed on this thread in my opinion

im not old enough to be your da
so lets get it on
cue song.An 11-year-old boy from Auckland, New Zealand, has become the world’s youngest father after having a child with the 36-year-old mother of his school friend.
Again reports say they were on a boat out of Turkey not Syria.. I also didnt see anyone mocking the child’s death or any other refugee deaths, Terrorists are using children as suicide bombers but a 2 yr old drowned so don’t mock the use of children ?
We are not responsible for the hacking off of heads the mass slaughter by both muslim sects, the use of chemicals etc, we may have precipitated conflict by arming one side or the other but the barbarity is down to those inflicting it and it’s that barbarity that is making people flee en massprefer him with cream
So there’s a fatwah out now I guess God forbid there may be some mohammed cartoons next.. maybe if his father had stayed in Turkey where he was safe that wouldn’t have happened
