Based on what?
The interesting thing about being brain-washed is that you do not realize it. And clearly, you do not realize you're brainwashed.
I made the statement, have any of those celebrating NK's leaders death ever met him. Many took this at face value and didn't understand -- but the underlying suggestion is, if you haven't based your hatred on personal experiences, then what is the basis of your hatred?
If it is an adopted hatred based on what someone else wants you to believe, then you are a fool and a tool ... plain and simple.

Originally posted by squealpiggy View PostYou have uncritically accepted anti-American propaganda produced both by Americans who are exercising their constitutionally protected right to make erroneous statements of the sort that would have them arrested or worse under the leadership of the tyrants they idolise, and that of the regimes that abuse their own citizens but claim that it's only because Americans are so mean to them.
How is it un-American to disagree with the media and or the Government?
That is another foolish statement, because it is common for even elected officials to disagree with the Government ... Are they un-American as well?
That's just plain stupid!!!!
Have you met with North Korean's and interviewed them, have you visited North Korea?
Then how can you possibly represent to others how they feel about their leader and his so-called regime's actions?
Simply ... YOU CAN"T ... period.
You are reverberating exactly what the media told you about N.Korea to the letter -- If that isn't mindless, I don't know what is ... Its also pathetic!!
Originally posted by squealpiggy View PostI'm not disputing that innocent people have been killed by the US military in these conflicts. You on the other hand are disputing the fact that these despots are despotic. You're pretending that they are just propaganda and that the people in North Korean labour camps really want to be there.
Kim Jong Il was what he was ... period. I do not have enough independent information about him to offer and opinion or to make judgment. All I have is the words of the media and the Government, who have an extensive history of fostering false evidence against foreign leaders.
Originally posted by squealpiggy View PostThere was use of depleted uranium rounds which is used as it is an especially dense material making useful in armour piercing munitions. This is not a violation of the Geneva convention or international law which prohibits use of materials designed to "poison or asphyxiate". Interestingly nuclear weapons are not forbidden by international treaty for the same reason.
The issue with depleted uranium is that there is no scientific consensus at this time of its lasting effects. Until such time as a consensus exists, and one seems likely, then regardless of the morality of the use of those weapons they are not in contravention of any treaty or convention.
Originally posted by squealpiggy View PostThis is yet more stupid and erroneous anti-Americanism.
You're pretty liberal with the classifications ....
I'm neither anti-Americanism nor am I un-American ... I'm just a free-thinking, independent citizen that can accept, that Govt. can be wrong sometimes -- after all, I have a lot of history to base that opinion on.
Whether Jong Il was a tyrant or not, is not my concern, there are more than enough tyrants within the USA to be concerned with. In either case, I have decided to show respect for the dead, no matter how they chose to live. That is the difference between you and me.

No it isn't. It's totally unnecessary.
You have uncritically accepted anti-American propaganda produced both by Americans who are exercising their constitutionally protected right to make erroneous statements of the sort that would have them arrested or worse under the leadership of the tyrants they idolise, and that of the regimes that abuse their own citizens but claim that it's only because Americans are so mean to them.
Were all six exclamation points absolutely necessary here?

Of course they do. Do you think that you are doing them any good by claiming that the victims of despotic tyrants don't matter, or worse, don't exist?
This is yet more stupid and erroneous anti-Americanism.
I am well aware of what the dictionary defines these words as poindexter. The question is what they mean to YOU. Because in your usage they seem to only mean that the subject of such jibes do not share your opinions.
I'm not entirely sure what Webster's dictionary has to do with the almost universal abhorrence of totalitarianism.

On a sidenote, his son has been groomed to be just like his daddy .... so whatever the conditions are, its not likely to change much in the future. It is also, unlikely the 38th parallel will be dissolved and the two Korea's re-united.
