Re: American System of Injustice
Ali, take my advice and do not use this forum, which I believe is an entrapment. You don't know who these Mercenary2k, Seminole, SimplyMe, Ravage, Ohioguy and Underthedome really are.
I left the US after living for 20 years there, but leaving is neither patriotic nor feasible. If you truly care about a country, you would educate your fellow citizens and try and change it for better peacefully.
I wouldn't have logged back on if it weren't for you, Ali.
JayR,
This is the Internet, nobody knows who anybody is. The real point to Gupshup, particularly World Affairs is that this is an open Forum for debate. Over the past few years we have had marvelous debates on virtually every topic under the sun. Most participants here are smart enough, and strong willed enough and resourceful enough to defend their positions and challenge the positions of people they don't agree with. At the end of the day we may not agree, but we have exchanged ideas, and have a little better understanding on the views of others.
Most of us came here after 9/11 to discuss world events. Pakistanis are unique in that they have distinctly Muslim views, and generally have excellent command of English that makes it easy for Americans to communicate with them.
AliR and I have debated for years. Only once have I agreed with him, and I now believe I was feverish at the time. :) But, despite not agreeing with him, I respect him. He can effectively argue his views, and has done so for many years.
In short, if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. If you want rapt attention at your every word, and a nodding head at every phrase, buy a dog.
If you keep posting about "American Injustice", and all you can do is cut and paste obscure articles, and lament your mail order bride, then you can expect many of us to call you out. Toughen up buttercup.
