Nuff said on my part. I need to go back to lurking because this issue inflames my rage more than any other. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will get me riled faster than this sort of stuff.

Oooooh, I'd better keep going then :). Just kidding, of course. I for one am not here just to get you riled up.
I would like to leave one question for you, however. How well do you think you would have done had you grown up in the kind of environment we're talking about here? Or any other similar environment. Do you honestly think those stupid kids strapping bombs to themselves in the middle east ever had a chance? Do they deserve to be shot because they've been pumped so full of hate since they were born that they can't see anything else?

You're inviting it, and in some ways delighting in it. It's not accidental or coincidental. You're choosing it. You have to realize you've made choices."
