Originally posted by xpowderx I don't agree with your flawed logic. But, xpowerderx, that post is epic win. Everything else in the topic seems insignificant after focusing and laughing at this. Nice distraction.
With no further ado, the next post is a presentation of the abnormal display of a markup laguange (and yes, I have been drinking): |

Yea, actually I support liberal democracy always. A revolution, and a vote to install a Theocracy is NOT a liberal democracy, so it's not necessary I support it. I don't support voting. I support democracy with human rights, and rights for discrete and insular minorities. You're saying I have to support anything people vote for. People can vote to eat babies. I wouldn't support just becuase there was a vote, and just because it was technically a "democracy". It would lack a key component of any democracy I would support, which is HUMAN RIGHTS. Theocracy =/= liberal democracy with human rights. There is no need to support theocracy, whether or not it's voted in. Liberal democracy DOES take this into account. democracy, a "vote", can lead to a republic with human rights, OR it can lead to a Tyranny of the Majority. I have never, and will never, support a Tyranny of the Majority, just because there was a vote.

Originally posted by Ihmotepp Exactly it can lead to both. Now in you're black and white world where liberal democracy = 1 and totalitarianism = 0 when a population goes into revolution against a dictatorship the outcome can either be 1 or 0 and unless you're 100% certain it won't end up as a liberal democracy you should show full and unconditional support to the revolution because the average of the possible outcomes > 0. And i would like to see how you can justify the patriot act: "Privacy is a fundamental human right recognized in the UN Declaration of Human Rights, the International Convenant on Civil and Political Rights and in many other international and regional treaties. Privacy underpins human dignity and other key values such as freedom of association and freedom of speech. It has become one of the most important human rights issues of the modern age. The publication of this report reflects the growing importance, diversity and complexity of this fundamental right." Fere libenter homines id quod volunt credunt. |

The Patriot Act was taken to the Supremes and denied cert. If you want to discuss the Patriot Act, make a topic about it. IMO, the only valid way to discuss Constitutional issues, is with Supreme Court holdings. As far as I can tell, what you posted is just mumbo jumbo from an internet petition. I can make an internet petition and say anything I want. I'ts my human right to get candy, and I'm not getting any! Sign here! So? Appealing to the UN? The UN put the WORST human rights violators in charge of the Human Rights commission. They've had the oil for food scandal, and are made up of despots, dictators, and totalitarian regimes that stick up for one another. If anything, appealing to the UN is automatic fail.
and what does the Patriot act have to do with Hamas beating women for not wearing a Hijab? the Patriot act means it's somehow ok to beat women for not wearing a Hijab?
Like if one guy mudred 2 people, you'd say, well, that's ok. Because that guy over there murdered 20 people!

Originally posted by Ihmotepp Who the fuck was talking about constitunionality? we're talking about Human Rights. Or did you somehow become the one who decides what is humanely right and not? You support something which violates the human rights and yet claim you're a human right partisan. Hypocrisy at it's finest. Fere libenter homines id quod volunt credunt. |

And you asked about the relevance well it is obvious: The patriotic is a clear and undeniable breach to the human rights. Why do you support your government committing such a breach? Because you don't want terrorists to blow you up (unless i'm mistaking). You deem that sacrifice of human rights a necessary sacrifice for the , what you consider, "greater good". Hamas commits clear and undeniable breaches to the human rights. Why do they support a government which commits such breaches? Because they don't want Israel to get away with how they fucked them. They deem the sacrifice of human rights a necessary sacrifice for what, they consider, the "greater good". When will you stop being in favor of the Patriot act (most likely) ? When there is no more terrorist threat. When will Palestine stop being in favor of Hamas? *please use your brains and answer this one* Fere libenter homines id quod volunt credunt. |

I disagree that the Patriot act is violating your human rights. There is a system in place under the Constitution to address this. Again, feel free to make a topi cabout the Patriot act. What does that have to do with beating a woman for not wearing a Hijab? Does the Patriot act make that behavior somehow ok? Again, you're just saying I hate Jews, I mean "Zionists", so whatever Hamas does to it's people is ok as long as it lets them continue the war against Israel. That's stupid, IMO. The "greater good" is killing the Jews? No it isn't. The "greater good" would be adopting liberal democracy, and joining the rest of us in the 21st century. What's so awful about allowing freedom of religion? How would you be harmed if people in Palestine could make their own choices about to run their lives, and how to worship? How would you be harmed if women in Palestine has equal rights to men? Somehow you think they need to abuse their people like this ot kill the Jews?

Yes, I want a Zionist victory. Because I support freedom and liberal democracy. A victory by Hamas means a win for Theocracy and Totalitarianism. This is not what I want for the Palestinian people, or the world: Having won the general election ..., Hamas launched a drive to “Islamicise” Gaza, forcing women to wear the hijab and men to grow beards. It burnt down the last beer factory in Gaza and banned the sale of alcoholic drinks. Bands of youths calling themselves “Brigades of Enforcing the Good and Combating Evil” raid homes in search of alcohol, Western music and videos, unIslamic T-shirts and other “sinful items”. Young men and women found together in public, or even in private cars, are stopped and interrogated to make sure unmarried couples do not violate Sharia rules. |

The land no longer belongs to Palestinians. They are defeated. Capitalism and liberal democracy has proven stronger than oppression and Theocracy. Accept it, and rebuild a prosperous Palestine. Your dream of pushing all the Jews into the sea is not going to happen. |

Reality is on my side. The goal of pushing the Jews into the sea leaves the Palestinians in misery and poverty. Meanwhile, Israel is a prosperouos nation with a free liberal democracy. I'm sorry your goal of pushing the Jews into the sea is not acheiveable, and the oppresion of Hamas is not sustainable. Freedom and liberal democracy leads to prosperty. That prosperity leads to strength. Oppression leads to poverty, adn that poverty leads to weakness. The strategy of Hamas is fundamentally flawed because of this, and can never prevail. The only outcome possible, is Israel wins. |

Yes, of course we support Israel. We support free and liberal democracies. I tell my congressmen to support Israel, because they are a free and liberal democracy. If Palestine was a free and liberal democracy, I would tell my congressmen to support Palestine as well. Another reason Hamas cannot win. Can they really prevail in driving the Jews into the sea, when Israel has the support of America? Of course not. Surrender. You are beaten. |

Originally posted by Ihmotepp Then why did the US topple Iran's "Free and Liberal Democracy"? Didn't know that happen right? It's a love story of BP and oil but nevermind. The US education system is so bad, I'm sure you can't read articles out of your normal ape like mind frame. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d'%C3%A9tat Do you realize how stupid you are?

Originally posted by devacore Simple. It was not a liberal democracy. A Secular Muslim himself, the Shah gradually lost support from the Shi'a clergy of Iran, particularly due to his strong policy of modernization, secularization and conflict with the traditional class of merchants known as bazaari, and recognition of Israel. Clashes with the Islamists, increased communist activity and a 1953 period of political disagreements with Mohammad Mosaddegh – eventually leading to Mosaddeq's ousting – caused the Shah's opponents to disagree and overthrow his rule.
Why did radical Muslims overthrow the Shah? Because he was trying securlarize the country, and lead it into modernity. Radical Islam is what you have a gripe with, not the US. It's not like the Shah was overthrown for a liberal democracy. The Shah was overthrown to install a Theocracy. Mohammad Mosaddegh was democratically elected. So was Hitler. I"m not saying Mosaddegh was a bad guy like Hitler, just making a poin that a liberal democracy requires much more than an election.An election does not make a liberal democracy.
The Oil was nationalized, and that was supported by a Communist party:
"Another force for nationalization was the Tudeh or Communist party."
You may remember at the time the USSR was still alive nad kicking, and Communism was opposed everywere possible. |
