TNMer blogs...
americamamushi | Posted on 11/08/05 at 06:03:37 Any TNMers keep blogs? Rick reached out to everyone with the TNM member map so I happened to think who on TNM keeps a journal online. I know of at least 2 that do because I have them on my friends list. (Don't feel obligated to share the address to said journal if you don't want to) :) |
Snabbit888 | Posted on 11/08/05 at 06:23:14 I do. http://www.livejournal.com/~snabbit888 |
91 | Posted on 11/08/05 at 20:42:44 Am I in there? |

americamamushi | Posted on 11/23/05 at 21:58:44 heh, just realized I forgot the address to my journal. http://www.livejournal.com/users/americamamushi I'd say it probably about 75% friends only now though. |
Carlzilla | Posted on 12/01/05 at 06:29:11 I have http://www.livejournal.com/users/xcarlzillax and http://www.myspace.com/carlzilla Anyone feel free to add me, and if you add me on myspace send an e-mail there... I'm not super into collecting virtual friends so I will probably deny you if I don't know it's a fellow TNMer. |
americamamushi | Posted on 12/01/05 at 08:53:24 I added you on LJ |

Psymin1 | Posted on 01/24/06 at 05:34:05 This relates because It was a link on Americamamushi's LJ. Why do some people have to be so ignorant? Any thoughts on this? ~Branden |
91 | Posted on 01/24/06 at 20:06:07 Yes, because the Christians are going through a far worse experience than concentration camps and mass genocide. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history. |

Psymin1 | Posted on 01/25/06 at 05:51:02Yes, because Bush is pure evil. *yawn*I'm glad you agree, even though I sense a bit of sarcasm. He is the most evil man in this country because of one reason: He has the power to do virtually anything he pleases. And the ignorance of Americans will buy in to whatever lie he will tell next. He is the biggest conman I have ever seen. He didn't win the first time, shouldn't have won the second time, and should be impeached for abuse of power and mass murder of thousands and thousands of innocent American troops. Bush *is* an evil bastard and I'm sorry if you don't see that. (...all, in my opinion of course) ~Branden |
Snabbit888 | Posted on 01/25/06 at 05:58:18 The thing is, with the way our system is, he DID win the first time. He's not the first President to win an election without winning the popular vote. And he shouldn't have won the first time? Over half of those who voted disagree. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a huge Bush fan, but please, he's not murdering American troops. Don't over-romanticize this to further your hatred for him. You make it sound like he's so evil that he's like, "How can I murder tons of troops and get away with it? I KNOW! A war!" I think the funniest thing about people who talk about politics is that if the other guy had one, half of America would still be bitching. If Gore or Kerry were President, the other half of America would be whining non-stop too. |

Snabbit888 | Posted on 01/25/06 at 06:04:56 I think the point being missed here is that Robertson is saying Christians are suffering NOW, and um... what? If there's any religious group that doesn't suffer in the US, it's Christians. Christians get just about anything they want, no matter how misguided it is. Gays can't get married and evolution isn't taught in all schools. Yeah, Christians are suffering these days. |

And no, it doesn't compare to concentration camps. Nobody is saying that Christians have had a painless 2000+ years during the course of their existence, but I am saying that they've never come even remote close to the mass persecution that the Jewish people endured during and before WWII. And what the hell does Russia have to do with anything? Are you just trying to downplay the Holocaust for some odd reason? |

Just so everyone knows. |
Psymin1 | Posted on 01/25/06 at 23:29:12Just for the record, it had to have been a link in someone on my friends list's journal. I don't do politic stuff in my journal. Last thing I want is my name dragged through a political discussion/argument.Sorry Americamamushi. And he shouldn't have won the first time? Over half of those who voted disagree.The key word there is VOTE. The problem is that MY lazy age group didn't get out and vote. If they would have, then it almost guaranteed that Bush would have lost this past election. I know, I can't prove that, but that's what I heard on the political talk shows days after the election (which I may be stupid for listening to them, but that's another point). And, either way, it is all a lot of "shoulda, woulda, coulda" so I guess that argument, or disagreement is over. You make it sound like he's so evil that he's like, "How can I murder tons of troops and get away with it? I KNOW! A war!"Well, I don't think ANYONE in their right mind would say that. But, I believe the thing that was "wrong" was in the way he went about going to war. They were under false pretenses. Need I even mention the Weapons of Mass Destruction? And we STILL HAVEN'T GOT BIN LADEN! He is the one who supposedly started this war, so what the hell does Sadam Hussein (sp?) have to do with this? And yes, I relize he was a bad person, but is it our job as Americans to police the world at the expense of human lives? No, I don't believe it is. And that is why I think of him as an evil man: because of the fact that he feels the need to police the world at the expense of, (seemingly) according to him, expendable human life. It isn't an odd reason. It's a plea for historical accuracy and honesty. Hitler killed millions of Jews in concentration camps. The Russians killed multiple times that many of their own people in concentration camps, AT THE SAME TIME. And no one talks about it, because the Russians were on our side in WWII.oooooo, good point Tagon. I, honestly, was not aware of that. That is very interesting. I wish I had more to say about it, but due to MY ignorance, I have nothing :- (I love political discussion, it's so...multi-sided :D) ~Branden EDIT NOTE: Sorry, Tagon, I relized I called your TaRgon, so I fixed it. |

If you go on straight numbers (which admittedly aren't always accurate, but bear with me), Russian Gulags from 1934 to 1952 were responsible for about 1.8 millions deaths.* It's estimated that approx. 6-10 million died in Nazi concentration camps.* So, I'd like to reiterate that the Nazi concentration camps are the worst atrocities in recorded history. And Pat Robertson is completely off his gourd for trying to claim gay marriage is even slightly comparible. * source: Wikipedia (under concentration camp entry as of 1/25/06) |
Snabbit888 | Posted on 01/26/06 at 00:43:50 Psymin - I have a couple rebuttal points. 1) If so many of our generation wanted Bush to not be elected, they should have went out and voted. If you don't go out and vote and an "evil man" wins, you have no one to blame but yourself. You'd be surprised how many people I have to slap who are like, "Bush is evil!" Did you vote for Kerry? "Well, no. I didn't vote." Shut your fucking mouth. :) 2) What makes American lives more important that the lives of the Iraqis who were suffering/being murdered under Saddam's regime? 3) I am of the belief that as the most powerful nation in the world, it is our responsibility to police the world. Sure, I'm not a big fan of this Iraq War either and don't think we've went about it the way we should, but (and note I can't name any specific examples right now) I'm sure there are many potential conflicts that have never taken place because of the US being "bullies." Like if it wasn't for us, I can't possibility imagine Israel not being completely destroyed by now. It's our responsibility to be the police officers, because what you're suggesting sounds like "Every country for himself!" and if we do that, it's my opinion that the amount of innocent lives being lost would increase exponentially. |

China is looking to become a massive powerhouse in about a decade or two. Will it then also be China's duty to become the world's police officer? Are you really saying that might makes right? |
Snabbit888 | Posted on 01/26/06 at 02:49:52 The point I'm making about Saddam is that people for years were calling for his head, calling for him to be out of power. So we go in, get him out of power, and people are bitching that we had no right. No one is ever happy ever. And to an extent I am, yes. I'm not saying we have the right to go invade any country we want because of them not following our policies to a tee (and before anyone says that we already do, pull back the hyperbole a bit), but if us having big bad weapons keeps North Korea from attacking whomever it wants, what's wrong with that? |

We are just acting like the big bully of the World. But, don't get me wrong. I love America and wouldn't want to live in any other country (at least not at this point in my life).

It's no ones job to "police the world" I'm not saying there aren't instances where some outside mediation isn't a good thing, i.e. Somalia. However, sometimes conflicts are enevitable and neccisary. What if, let's say, France, had stepped in during our Civil War and said "no more fighting between you two..." and that was that. As far as Israel is concerned, well I'm not even gonna touch that, as I am not even close to being pro-Israel...(and don't even accuse me of being anti-semite, as my best friend and girlfriend are both jewish)...and it seems to be a real hot headed topic for some people (although I'm not sure on these boards...but I don't want to get into it...) |
Anubis | Posted on 02/03/06 at 21:20:52 Robertson actually said that? He actually said that the gays are part of this great torturing of Christians (EVANGELICAL Christians at that)? That guy's the biggest fucking moron on the face of the planet. It's the other way around, with Christians trying to torture and put away gays unjustly. I can't stand Evangelicals, they're the real bigots in this country, the worst of the worst. Robertson should be deported for being a fucking moron. |
