[quote]Sure, our methodology suffered from an extraordinarily low sample size -- limited to four white supremacists and one black nationalist -- but just because it wouldn’t fly with Gallup doesn’t mean there ain't a kernel of truth in there[/quote]
[quote name='DontPushMe' post='673686' date='Jun 16 2008, 11:29 PM']So you are saying that what McCain says cant be trusted? I mean, either you believe that he wants to keep us in iraq for 100 years, or you believe that nothing he says can be considered credible. Which side are you on?[/quote]
If you heard what McCain said, and still think that he wants us to stay in Iraq for 100 years, you are a moron... There is a reason that Obama no longer uses that line... It's a FUCKING LIE!!!!
As I joked about on the other thread, the damn wars in Japan and Germany are getting annoying too... The exact two countries that were mentioned seconds after the infamous "100 years" comment...

Curious. What are Islamic fanatics going to do to you in your home in Cincinnati, OH, or wherever you live. You know, seeing as how these groups/nations you speak of how no Air Force or Navy worth speaking of.
Oh, and Iran isn't an Arab nation.
[quote]Iran is a diverse country consisting of people of many religions and ethnic backgrounds cemented by the Persian culture. Persians constitute the majority of the population. 70% of present-day Iranians are Iranic peoples, native speakers of Iranian branches of the Indo-European languages. The majority of the population speaks the official language, Persian, and other Iranian languages or dialects, in addition Arabic is spoken in Southwestern Iran, and Turkic dialects, (i.e. Azeri, etc) are spoken in different areas in Iran. The main ethnic groups are Persians (51%), Azeris (24%), Gilaki and Mazandarani (8%), Kurds (7%), [b]Arabs (3%), [/b]Baluchi (2%), Lurs (2%), Turkmens (2%), Laks, Qashqai, Armenians, Persian Jews, Georgians, Assyrians, Circassians, Tats, Mandaeans, Gypsies, Brahuis, Hazara, Kazakhs and others (1%).[3][/quote]
Don't let that get in the way of your "We have to kill A-rabs" statement, though. On a serious note however, you should probably find it problematic that you think that we should maybe go to war with Iran and you didn't know they're not Arabs.

I didn't say we had to attack Iran. They do need contained, though, and the world agrees that a nuclear armed Iran is a very bad idea, so we're not alone on that one.
And yes, I DO know that Iran is Persian, but their country is located in the Arab part of the world, hence my statement about "most Arab nations do not". It was convenient to my argument to lump them in with the rest of the Middle East because they ARE in the Middle East, which as you well know, IS largely Arabic.
And as far as what Islamic fanatics are going to do to me in Cincinnati, why don't you ask the people of NYC?
Agreed with the 95% comment. It's pretty bad up here as well. Although there is a very large Iranian population here in Toronto. So that does make a little bit of a difference.
The Gulf Arab countries can't stand Iran. And the feeling is largely reciprocated. There are border disputes with nearly all the countries.
And finally the Saudi's and Iranians are pretty much in a consistent struggle to prove who's the big swinging dick in the region. Example being earlier this week when the Iranians pretty much slammed the Saudi move to raise production by 500k. (The Saudi's are amongst the worst oil cheats in OPEC)

And on a final note, Iranian women are stunning.
