Zeroisanumber posted:To be fair, a significant percentage of the posters have come around to the, "gently caress it, kill the bastards" point of view. True. Also no credible proof hostage death hasn't stop Wolf "so poor and so black" Blitzer from hyperventilating about it.

So apparently Obama acknowledging that the crusades and inquisition and witch hunts exist and that people of all religions can be pretty lovely means OBAMA BASHES CHRISTIANITY. quote:Humanity has been grappling with these questions throughout human history. And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ. Michelle and I returned from India -- an incredible, beautiful country, full of magnificent diversity -- but a place where, in past years, religious faiths of all types have, on occasion, been targeted by other peoples of faith, simply due to their heritage and their beliefs -- acts of intolerance that would have shocked Gandhiji, the person who helped to liberate that nation. Yep he sure is saying muslims rool and christians drool. Certainly not making a point that people are lovely and we need to be better. I wonder what it's like to live in a constant state of outrage and fear. Seems exhausting.

Its because those things happened 100s of years ago and nobody alive thinks they were awesome things. So he looks like a deflecting apologist. A huge tool thing to say when horrific atrocities are happening literally this second and comparing it to things that happened 100s of years ago no one alive thinks is cool just to go "neener neener we do it too maybe were the real monsters" horseshit. Hes the most embarassing president in living memory and Bush was a two termer.

Given that I'm starting to have trouble keeping track of who in GiP is calling for the painful deaths of all middle eastern Muslims (excuse me, "Muds") ironically and who isn't, I wouldn't be so quick to get up on your high horse.

You guys realize if it was a D&D poster saying those things, you'd be saying the same thing as Pitbull (except the most embarrassing prez bit) right? I mean, the whole, "well Christians did the crusades!" argument is the most annoyingly stupid thing.

They have two modified CN-235 gunships. 70mm rockets, a modified Apache 30mm cannon, and some ISR capability. They're working on similar mods to their 295 (the stretched 235 variant). It's a potent little thing for people who don't want to spend $150M on an AC-130.

I recall now that they used the term CN-235, which when I thought back on it, I figured I had misremembered it. Sounds like a nice little package.
