Conservative and rightwing aspies unite....
Maybe you could sit them down for a cosy little chat and bore them to death?
edit: But seriously, that post of yours was extremely arrogant. The insults directed at Mcjeff and your above statement contributing to that. I don't really see any evidence of the deep thought you mention, either. If anything I'd say you seem to have approached the subject in a very shallow and simplistic manner.

I'm not xenophobic. I just know I'm better than everyone else and am not ashamed to celebrate it.
</joke>
The thing that you touched on, Xuincherguixe, that I "don't go too far to think" - I'll reluctantly admit it's true. And I think there are a few examples from these forums where I've relented, and acknowledged that I misspoke, or didn't have all the information.
But it's not because I don't think - it's because that I run out of energy. I'm a centrist who falls slightly to the right, but, just like you said, moderation in the face of extremism seems futile. And honestly, the leftism here frequently reaches Democratic Underground levels. (DU, for anyone who doesn't know, is the far-left message board where people were claiming Bush caused the tsunamis last year with earthquake weapons).
But let me ask you something. What response, other than complete capitulation to the terrorists, is not going to cause more violence or troubles? Muquta Al-Sadr, our prime adversary from before the time of Zarqawi, has flattened three police strongholds within Sadr City, and his militia completely controls it now. Did negotiating with him save countless deaths? Or did it sacrifice dozens of lives now, for hundreds in the future? Baghdad's a wreck... so why are we not hearing about the fact that outside Baghdad, things are getting better rather than worse?
Xu said, "we" don't make any effort to find solutions to problems. What he and similar lefties can't do is come down off their high horse. I would never be able to explain to him that I've examined the issue in depth, moreso than he has I'd be willing to bet, and simply found that conflict is sometimes necessary and that this is one of those times.
If you actually care to hear how and why I came to that conclusion I'd be glad to share, but I'm not going to be assed typing for an hour on a post no one will read or pay attention to.
Are you English? Vote BNP!!
I would have if i lived there, no doubt about that.
are you serious? the bnp are nothing but a bunch of bigotted racist ex skinhead thugs. half of their election candidates have been in prison. they have no serious political platform at all, and gain the small degree of support that they get by whipping up bigotry, hatred and ignorance.

Actually, you're wrong. Many people find at least some of their policies attractive. The majority of the population think that immigration has gone too far, for example. Many believe that providing incentives for those who've recently come here, yet don't wish to be part of our society, to return home are a good thing. Many people find the continued celebration of everything ethnically diverse, at the expense of our own culture and traditions, disturbing. Also, I think there's a trend to question where we're going with capitalism. These issues have all been considered by the BNP. I do disagree with some of their policies, though; some do contain a vestige of their racist past. However, they provide a refreshing new voice to counter the incessant bleating of the islamic apologists on the left.
The BNP has wide support in many areas of the country. I know a number of people (all intelligent professionals) who have some sympathy with their cause. They may have some criminals in their ranks, but what organisation hasn't! To be honest, if someone ends up in prison for speaking out against the threat we face from Islamic extremists they deserve our respect and support.
McJeff seems to me to be one of those people that isn't neccesarily stupid, but doesn't go too far to think.
Muslims are a group that it's 'in' to hate. Has been for awhile, but now it's more so. There are fundementalist Muslims that cause a lot of problems, but this is not the sum of Islam. Even if this was the majority of people, doesn't it stand to reason that the radicals should be seperated out from the non radicals?
Which was I'm sure when it was brought up was what the poster was trying to say. But instead, McJeff writes a long defensive post about why he feels he is right. There may be on the surface what seem to be good points, but in the end it's just more of the problem. Feeding into the violence.
I mean what, you don't think that the Terrorists feel like they aren't justified do you? Do you think that in many cases they have a pretty convincing argument to do you? They didn't just wake up one day and decided they hate America and are going to go on long elobrate plots to destroy it do you?
Here's the truth. All the extreme points of view think their side is the right one. The violent ones all think that they are justified in violence. Because of those actions, the other side thinks this justifies whatever they want. (And I do mean whatever). You can see this first hand. You have a bunch of Saudi's fly a plane into a building. So now some people say that we can blow up Iraq.
No, you don't resolve conflict with more conflict. If you where someone that could think deeper, you would understand this. You would also see that 'but there's no other way!' isn't a valid argument. Because you would actually believe in making the slightest bit of effort to find them.
Everywhere you look you've got some fat angry white guy yelling that 'we must do whatever is neccesary', but they don't do whatever is neccesary. They just blow up things. They only think hard about the best way to blow up things, and not look for answers.
You can give me extreme examples. You can rant and rave and yell that I'm wrong, but even though I may not be as loud or willing to beat up anyone that disagrees with me, I still believe pretty damn strongly in my cause too.
And that goes out to all the people that work hard to not need to be insightful. There are a lot of Liberals that do the same thing, but it's not nearly as much of a problem. And don't think that this is directed to everyone that's slightly to the right on the spectrum. Some of you I'm sure do look deep into things. Or rather, look further than the very surface.
And so McJeff (or anyone else for that matter) can make sure to get their crazy xenophobic retorts (I'm being generous in calling them retorts) ready, I'm Canadian. So brush up on those slurs and stereotypes! You should also tell the people that hate Canada to work harder at coming up with these things, because most of them really aren't all that offensive.
Ya, and maybe we should try to convince black people to not exist. To appease hate groups that are against them violently. Let's look into their hearts and try to figure out why they hate minorities, then we can cater to their hate. Just as violent means cant solve everything, neither can peaceful means. There are some people on earth who want to fight, dont care about reasoning with overly sophisticated

You NEVER cater to hate, because that is sending the idea out that it is an accepted view. Rather, you educate, include, inform, provide the resources and knowledge to remove bias and misconception.
>>You people make it sound like Bin laden and his ilk are perfectly tolerable individuals, simply pushed over the edge by the decadent west. Bin Laden would have probably pursued a career in dentistry if not for being egged on by people like Bill Clinton and George Bush.<<
Their beliefs are solidified and they cannot be reasoned with, and upon noting the mockery the west makes of them and opposes their key views and ideologies, they atack - at the behest of their religious leaders, inspired or directed by the infallable Allah no less. As long as there are people believe in something then there will be people who don't, that's a given. How we deal with opposing beliefs is really where the challenge lies. In religion, nobody is wrong, as they derive their beliefs and subsequent views from a supposed being who is unquestionable. Is what they are even doing wrong? As they themselves believe it is the right thing to do. Where does the answer lie?

Gratz, you managed to put so many lies and propoganda into such a small post.
Let's go point by point.
You say people who are skinheads are automaticly bad.
Many of them are intelegent well educated people with verry high iq's.
But since the media and movies portray them as drunken criminals that's what you believe.
The funny thing is you use the same generalizations about skinheads as rightwingers use about immigrants.
Those imprisoned have been due to laws made up to outlaw people with different opinions.
Not crimes such as theft or hurting someone.
Thought crimes.
Kinda like how Hitler and Stalin imprisoned theyr political opponents as wel.
A political prisonar by the political elite.
If with all the things you said about the nationalists you changed the word to a immigrant.
You could go to jail for racism.
But because the hate laws only apply to natives, they are the only ones they are used against.
Now to the part where you say about them having no political platform.
I believe they have seats in several districts.
Ofcourse i'm not English so i cannot say i know alot about it.
You say they whip up hatred etc.
But that simply isn't true.
When peoples native neighborhoods are turned into dangerous ghettos they flea.
These victimized people are afraid of telling about theyr experience for being branded a racist by the political elite and media.
So they try to find a solution to the problem
Vote for a party who trys to stop the mass immigration that turns theyr neighborhoods into dangerous ghettos.
The political elite always uses the word hate in such cases but it's simply unjust.
When the native americans were driven from theyr homes and wanted to keep theyr land.
Was it hate that drove them or simply because they wanted to keep theyr land?
If you think about it it's verry simular here.
In Amsterdam there is a mass exodus of natives happening right this day.
They get terrorized in theyr own neighborhoods by immigrants.
I hope this answered your question and informed you a bit about the truth behind the propoganda.
Don't believe everything you hear.
Especially not from the liberal media.
You say people who are skinheads are automaticly bad.
i never actually said that
But since the media and movies portray them as drunken criminals that's what you believe.
The funny thing is you use the same generalizations about skinheads as rightwingers use about immigrants.
the fact that someone is well educated with a high iq doesn't preclude the possibility that they are also an intollerant bigot. perhaps skinheads was not the best word to use though, granted that skinhead culture originally was nothing to do with racism. and your second point is not valid, skinheads make a choice to be skinheads, they are not born, you cant really compare it with racial or ethnic origin.
Not crimes such as theft or hurting someone.
Thought crimes.
Kinda like how Hitler and Stalin imprisoned theyr political opponents as wel.
A political prisonar by the political elite.
this is really so much nonsense. here is just a small selection
• Tony Lecomber, prominent in the BNP hierarchy, served three years in jail for a nail bomb plot. He got another three years in 1991 for stabbing a Jewish teacher and has 12 convictions in all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Lecomber
• Kevin Scott, BNP organiser in the North East, has convictions for assault and threatening behaviour. http://politics.guardian.co.uk/farright ... 29,00.html
• Paul Harris, 41, BNP council candidate in Barnsley was convicted of using threatening behaviour towards a pensioner.
• Jason Douglas, one of the BNP's leading candidates in the Greater London local elections, is a convicted football hooligan.
• Warren Bennett, the BNP's chief steward, is also a convicted football hooligan.
• Stephen Belshaw, who stood for the BNP in Amber Valley, East Midlands, was convicted in 1994 of attacking a Jewish solicitor.
• Colin Smith, BNP South East London organiser. 17 convictions for burglary, theft, stealing cars, possession of drugs and assaulting a police officer.
• Darren Dobson, BNP council candidate in Oldham. Convicted of racially aggravated assault at Oldham magistrates in November 2001.
• Frank Forte, BNP member in Waltham Forest, convicted of Actual Bodily Harm in 1989.
• Paul Thompson, former BNP organiser for Durham and Darlington convicted of criminal damage after an attack on a book shop in Durham. Also convicted for violence after attacking football fans.
• Neil Keilty, BNP member, whose convictions since 1987 include criminal damage, possession of an offensive weapon and threatening behaviour.
• Gary Mitchell former Sunderland BNP secretary, convicted of racist attacks and possession of offensive weaponry.
and there are a lot more than this, but i think those 12 from a cursory google search are enough
to illustrate my point.
You could go to jail for racism.
But because the hate laws only apply to natives, they are the only ones they are used against.
nothing i said was factually incorrect. most bnp supporters are bigots. they are generally racist. ok maybe they aren't all ex-skinheads, a lot of them are ex football hooligans as well. so i apologise for the skinhead remark. remember, being a racist bigot is a choice.
I believe they have seats in several districts.
Ofcourse i'm not English so i cannot say i know alot about it.
yes they have a couple of seats on local councils around england, and true they are gaining support in some areas. but if you actually read their literature, you will find it is largely racist propoganda trash designed to stir up hatred. and i say this having read a good amount of it.
But that simply isn't true.
When peoples native neighborhoods are turned into dangerous ghettos they flea.
These victimized people are afraid of telling about theyr experience for being branded a racist by the political elite and media.
So they try to find a solution to the problem
Vote for a party who trys to stop the mass immigration that turns theyr neighborhoods into dangerous ghettos.
can you provide one example of a neighbourhood in the uk that was previously a respectable area and was turned into a ghetto by immigrants?
When the native americans were driven from theyr homes and wanted to keep theyr land.
Was it hate that drove them or simply because they wanted to keep theyr land?
If you think about it it's verry simular here.
In Amsterdam there is a mass exodus of natives happening right this day.
They get terrorized in theyr own neighborhoods by immigrants.
i'm not even going to respond to this.
Don't believe everything you hear.
Especially not from the liberal media.
i never actually asked you a question. but regardless, i dont read any liberal newspapers or watch television. and since you dont live in the uk, i dont see how you would be qualified to inform me of what is going on here.

However, it proves nothing other than how easy it is to use that method to discredit an opponent's views. What you need to do, peebo, is tackle the BNPs policies individually, if you're going to advance your argument. Most people aren't as stupid as most liberals think: just because they shut up through fear when the left go bandying charges of racism, it doesn't mean they actually believe them.
You say they whip up hatred etc.

You say you state facts.
Yet there isn't a single fact in your original post.
Just prejudist about people with a different political viewpoint.
If i said all arabs are a bunch of anti semite thugs, that would pretty much be the same.
My reply wasn't merely about the situation in Brittain.
I look at the situation as a whole mainly speaking from my own country.
As much as people like to stick theyr heads in the sand.
This crisis has all of Europe in it's grip.
Ofcourse particular parts such as France, Netherlands, UK, Belgium are the hardest hit.
About the ghetto's.
You only have to visit Amsterdam, Rotterdam and pretty much every major city in the area.
The most notorious neighborhood are the beilmermeer, diamant buurt, and baarsjes.
I can guaranty you if you move there not being a immigrant you wil get terrized and sweared at daily.
I don't care if you would call them respectable or not.
They were regular worker neighborhoods before the mass immigration.
Another thing i would like to ask you.
Would you send your children to an all immigrant school like we have here ?
The chances of them being discriminated against there as a minority would be nearly 100% certain.
I asked the last question in the light of a story about a Dutch politician.
He is the leader of the Socialist worker party.
He lives 2 kilometres away from a mixed school.
Yet he sends his kids to an all white school 11 kilometres away.
All the while he is still preaching multiculturalism.
Btw don't feel personally atacked.
I'm verry interested in the logic that drives people with other political views.

well i dont remember saying i give any support to the mainstream political parties either. you might note that the majority of those in my list were charged with crimes related to racial violence. the reason i posted the list was as an example to back up my assertion that many among the bnp are racist thugs. your post here is pointless, i wouldn't doubt for a minute that there are many fraudsters and child molesters among the ranks of the mainstream parties.
and regardless, the main difference is, that the labour party's manifesto is not based on policies of fraud and child abuse.

haha i have to laugh when you accuse arabs of anti semitism, when nick griffin the leader of the bnp was prosecuted in the late 1980s for publishing an anti semitic magazine.
but no, it wouldn't be the same. arabs are born arabs. fascists choose to be fascists. very true, there are anti semitic arabs, but there are also those who are not. on the other hand most if not all supporters of far right parties like the bnp are racist and anti semitic, and they make a concious decision to do that. so your comaprison is not valid.

well i grew up in what you might call a ghetto, a real s**thole of a place plagued by violence and drug problems. and i can tell you that minorities were not the cause of the trouble there. the problem of which you speak is rooted in the social framework, it has nothing to do with ethnicity. there are as many if not more troubled areas populated by ethnic europeans, in the uk at least.
