That\'s cool! I really like political debates and topics like the ones we usually but heads over. I get into a lot of debates with my friends it hasn\'t come to blows . . . yet.

P.S. You know what I mean when I say blows. Don\'t even think it! :)

I would never write a personal attack, and I resent your accusation.  

I\'m taking issue with Ace\'s intentions behind posting this thread.  I\'m calling it what I think it is... TROLLING.  That\'s when you post something contentious for the purpose of stirring up sh1t.  I think he posted it because he knew there would be people here who strongly disagree, and he wanted to push their buttons.  Like Shockwaves, I have never started a political thread, and I don\'t intend to.


No my friend, pushing buttons is what you are doing.  There is nothing offensive about that article and he was sharing a well written article by a European directed at other Europeans.  

As for you continually questioning my ability to comprehend the English language, I do take offense to your tone.  You constantly reply with veiled insults to try and belittle others who don\'t agree with your beliefs.  I have yet to see you respond without resorting to this method when it comes to topics such as this.

Accusing him of trolling and intentionally trying to stir up "sh1t" is a personal attack IMO and I would hardly call Ace a troll on these forums.  The article is not controversial in the least and for you to imply so shows your hostility towards anything that REMOTELY goes against your beliefs.  I have seen more questionable posts out of other members that didn\'t stir anything up nearly as much as this has and I firmly believe it wasn\'t the article as much as it was the poster that brought about these rabid replies.

Ace said that he didn\'t post the article to incite problems, and I believe him.  Therefore, I apologize for calling him a troll, and I\'d appreciate it if we could put this argument to rest.  I don\'t have anything personal against Ace or Giga or anyone else here except maybe Samwise.  :D

It\'s cool with me.  I like a good debate and I like differing opinions. I think in the end it might help all of us to learn something.

By the way, as time goes on you will find that I am always right. :)

Thats cool, I have not posted anything political lately other than replying to things as there really isn\'t much more to say about the Iraqi subject until if/when something happens.  

I do agree with you Core, that political debates tend to get heated and emotions do run high and that is what happened here in my opinion.  No harm done as I don\'t think any less of you for what was said.  It could easily have been me saying things like that if I had disagreed with a post at any given time over this past week.  

I respect you and everyone else whose opinion I disagree with (with the exception of SirMystiq :p ) on matters like this.  Once again, until something new or relevant happens regarding Iraq or N. Korea I will probably keep a low profile on topics like this for a while. ;)

Im used to being bashed about my opinions or whatever. But, damn guys, c\'mon you get heated up over politics. Is GWB going to come by the forums and check to see if we agree with him or not? NO. He\'s going to do whatever he feels like, our opinions don\'t matter. It\'s just fun seeing how other people call others names, then turn around and be assholes themselves. Giga, man you know you do that, I don\'t hate you or whatever, but my opinions aren\'t any different than other people\'s opinions.

.......

Anyways, I meant that in a good way.
