Preachers who fully support the war crimes and the terrorism of their governments. Billy Graham advocated genocidal policies against the Vietnamese. It is the "christians" [not all mind you] who have plumped for, wholly supported the slaughter of tens of millions of people by the US around the world. All the US raping and pillaging the poor countries was often defended as bringing salvation to the heathens. That line of utter bullshit fell out of favor because even the dumbest found it suspect. Please provide links of all those churches teaching the Old Testament. More of your bullshit. Quote

The question that was being asked was "So how many people did Jesus murder again?" How does that lead me to 'the evil that is the USA' ?

I find this bizzaro world belief of the far left that all the world's problems come from the US to be little more than expression of their contempt for America, primarily because it's capitalist. In terms of the middle east, western responses are always portrayed by the far left as being the cause of the problem in the first place. Is it willful self-blindness or something else? Most of the migrants flooding into Europe or elsewhere don't come from Iraq or Syria. Most are North African, though there are Turks, Egyptians, Lebanese, Jordanians, Palestinians, Afghans and Iranians in the mix too.

A little of bit of demonization, sure, but it's also not like the US does things like, say, invade a country then refuse to admit its refugees. I do try to point out, though, that the US did not cause all the problems they're made out to even where they exacerbate them.

I do try to point out, though, that the US did not cause all the problems they're made out to even where they exacerbate them. The phrase we've heard from the far left here numerous times 'stop bombing them' is patently absurd given that when the US was actually IN Iraq and bombing steadily there was no such flood of refugees or migrants. The flood started well after the US left, after the 'arab spring' inspired rebellion in Syria, the government wasn't able to put it down, and hard-line fundamentalist Muslims used it as a pretext for jihad. Their extreme violence and fanaticism led to victories, and then spillover into Iraq, whose corrupt government had siphoned off funds for the military and appointed friends and relatives as generals - who had no military abilities and who also siphoned off money for themselves. In one incident a full division (10,000) of Iraqi troops abandoned their tanks, artillery, armored vehicles, weapons and uniforms, and ran for it at the approach of a couple of hundred ISIS fighters in pickups. It was then that the refugees flooded into nearby countries. As things deteriorated the US and a few other Western allies began to assist the Iraqis by bombing ISIS. And the far left then began to bleat that it was Western bombing which was causing the mess. Then that pathetic fool Angela Merkal basically offered up citizenship to anyone who could reach Germany, and the flood really started. Similar fools in Sweden offered up much the same. Yet it's all supposed to be because of western bombing.

Indeed you should quit avoider because that fog that has surrounded you is not doing very much for you except maybe clouding your thinking and making you look more foolish by the day. Just saying. When you finally answer the question that I have asked you to answer what seems like forever maybe than I will stop using the word avoider. And don't play the fools game with me? You know what those questions were. I await. Quote

People in each camp try to cast the "other" size as evil geniuses. Some people just have a need to do this... its a personality trait. The reality is... These various countries being talked about operate the same way... They are all primarily aligned around their own self interest, and the pursuit of that makes some people happy and some other people angry. Americans arent "evil". Neither or Iranians, or North Koreans. The people in these countries are the victims of fraud. Quote I question things because I am human. And call no one my father who's no closer than a stranger

Of course discussion is possible but you illustrate clearly that you have no desire to engage in honest discussion. You avoid these issues solely because you hold a childish fantasy of what the USA is all about. I had the same fantasy, it was at least as strong as yours but a funny thing happened, the truth got in the way. You directly avoid direct questions, opting for your song and dance routines, see above for a good example. The very truth you are now running from, as you always do. That is not the American way, Michael. You don't even believe in the grandiose tenets of the USA but you sure are making use of the usual US duck and cover platitudes. Quote
