OK you're now up to 5 Americans, although they aren't on American soil. However, I would still advise you that they fit the profile.

I am stating my opinion. If that stirs up ****..... oh well.

We allow mods to have opinions here. They don't have to be popular.

I do not see the maturity aspect of your argument. Are you saying it is immature to have a differing opinion?

Daniel, I'm telling you that if you spoke to people in real life like you do on the internet, you'd soon be bleeding. I don't have a dog in this hunt, and if you wish to be a bada$$ internet ninja, more power to ya. I'm telling you that this doesn't impress anyone. If you gain something from this post, good. If not, we've lost nothing.

<snip for space> Monkeys will likely fly out of my ass before people stop arguing on forums.

Enjoy.

For your sake, I hope people don't stop arguing on the internet... cause that would certainly hurt.

What way is that?

TBH I find that you are the one trying to come across as an internet badass with veiled threats of physical violence lol.

Yep. You're real impressive as usual Daniel. We're you picked on a lot as a child?

[Mike.357]

I agree with a lot of what has been said in this thread

Again with the personal attacks? It really shows your lack of intelligence when you have to resort to personal attacks time and time again.

I agree with Daniel on everything. Even his original thread which by the responses here I'm guessing I was in the very small percentile that actually saw the intent of it. Short of the long, there is no easy answer. We can quibble and quarrel until we are blue in the face. We can argue about maturity and censorship or threaten physical violence when we disagree. In the end, some of us really need to look at how adults should act. Just because we are in the anonymous world of the Internet doesn't mean we can automatically start whining and crying like 12 year old and questioning maturity and manhood the instant someone says something that's disagreeable. Hell, I disagree with a large percentage of stuff on this board, but everyone has a right to an opinion. It's called freedom. Love it or leave it.

[gregintenn]

Yep. You guys are right. It was none of my business and I shouldn't have said anything.

Sorry Daniel is a moderator/admin and you are not allowed to ignore him or her

Is there a way to correct this?

Woooo boy! How did I miss this thread! Marge, get me the popcorn NOW! I said NOW WOMAN! lol

Very interesting discussion. Lots of good points here. I guess the biggest take-away is that not all threats are readily apparent. My position is this: I want our troops to do their job VERY well. Their job is to hunt the enemy and kill them by any means, at any time, using ANY tool they can field or find. HOWEVER, Tim BECAME the enemy when he used his skills to kill and maim unarmed civilians in his homeland. In this country there are laws and procedure for accomplishing change. Violence is NEVER the best political option.

Further, I see many here are touchy about the rationalization brought forth by the thread originator. It WAS designed to shock. BUT, as any armed forces member will tell you, experience has proven that you must be ready for any threat, regardless of appearance. Threats come in all forms. I recall an American soldier tossing a grenade into a mess tent in Iraq, and another shooting up Ft. Hood. Vigilance goes beyond looking for the obvious. Too much is at stake.

Both Muslim and warning flags were there that would have prevented their actions if profiling had taken place. Just saying.
