System of a Down

Rudy · March 26, 2003

i just saw their video Boom, for a second time, unfortunately. If you are not familiar with it, its a "pro-peace" song and the entire video documents the international peace protest day. Its annoying at how they use ignorance to try and push for peace, and its odd how a "pro-peace" song has so much anger in it. The thing that pisses me off the most, is that after hearing about our POW's, this song is still playing. I would love to see those sons of bitches get their asses kicked. Better yet, when our POW/MIA's get back, let them do it.

I can't take much more of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey man, maybe they're supporting terrorism by making that song...

or perhaps they're saying 'screw the troops' by making that song...

you know what, i bet their being 'anti-american' by making that song..

chill out dude. America was founded on people having the right to take a stand for what they believe in. God forbid somone have a different view than you, right?

We live in America. We have a Bill of Rights. Rudy, AFLAK, System of a Down, me, everyone in this nation has a right to think what they want.

You may think their view wrong, idiotic, whatever. It doesn't matter. They can still think it.

Let's all just not kill each other for having a difference of opinion....a right that we have.

For the record: I don't like war, but think it was necessary at this point.

And to do my part to get this thread locked away........................here ya go:

During this war, some of us may encounter "Peace Activists" who will try

and convince us that we must refrain from retaliating against the ones who

terrorized us on September 11, 2001, and those who support terror. These

activists may be alone or in a gathering. When you come upon one of these

people, or one of their rallies, here are the proper rules of etiquette:

1. Listen politely while this person explains their views. Strike up a

conversation if necessary and look very interested in their ideas. They

will tell you how revenge is immoral, and that by attacking the people who

did this to us, we will only bring on more violence. They will probably use

many arguments, ranging from political to religious to humanitarian.

2. In the middle of their remarks, without any warning, punch them in the

nose.

3. When the person gets up off of the ground, they will be very angry and

they may try to hit you, so be careful.

4. Very quickly and calmly remind the person that violence only brings

about more violence and remind them of their stand on this matter. Tell

them if they are really committed to a nonviolent approach to undeserved

attacks, they will turn the other cheek and negotiate a solution. Tell them

they must lead by example if they really believe what they are saying.

5. Most of them will think for a moment and then agree that you are

correct.

6. As soon as they do that, hit them again. Only this time hit them much

harder. Square in the nose.

7. Repeat steps 2-5 until the desired results are obtained and the idiot

realizes how stupid of an argument he/she is making.

8. There is no difference in an individual attacking an unsuspecting victim

or a group of terrorists attacking a nation of people. It is unacceptable

and must be dealt with. Perhaps at a high cost.

We owe our military a huge debt for what they are doing for us and our

children. We must support them and our leaders at times like these. We have

no choice. We either strike back, VERY HARD, or we will keep getting hit in

the nose...Lesson over, class dismissed...

you forget one thing.

That's not the arguement that all anti-war believers use. It wasn't really funny either...

What's the point of this thread?

To get locked........go ahead, say something contraversial. Lets lock it down ASAP.

What's the point of this thread?

It started out as just a guy venting. Then it deteriorated.

In other words it doesn't have much of a point.

Well, I happen to agree with Zeke on this one.

Here's something to ponder tonight:

Has anyone had the opportunity to visit the Holocaust museum in Washington D.C.? It is an awesome depiction of how Hitler came into power and then abused this power by committing unbelievable crimes against different classes of people. What he did was horrendous, and this museum would not be here if not for these acts. It should serve as a reminder of what an out of control ruler can do to innocent people.

Well, if we let Hussein continue to rule Iraqi there would be another museum built in the decades ahead to remind us of the terrible deeds he ruled over. Check you history books folks. Everyone wanted to turn the other cheek on Hitler and look what happened. Hopefully, we are stopping history from repeating itself.

May God bless our troops, their families, the innocent Iraqi citizens, and America. Thank you Mr. President for making the tough choice and being a leader when others were afraid to.
