Re: !@#$ Nazis!!!
I'll say. Right there between the kissin' cousins and the grade school cocaine dealers (okay, I'll admit that there aren't too many of those, but they DO exist). Not that I'd rather be stuck in downtown Detroit or any other hardhitting urban central, but this is definately NOT one of the best places to live.
As for the "dominant attitiude", well, who can really say what the dominate attitude is? I'm sure where you live, most people would never think of blaming the majority based on the actions of a minority, but in other parts of the country, well, let's just say they "don't want no stinkin' towel-heads stinking up their turf" (almost exact quote from neighbor). And I don't think that most of the people who act in such an irrational manner feel so inclined in the first place. It's what I call the "Dominomic Sheep Effect". Basically, a small number of extreme thinkers blare their opinions to the world, and in so doing make people think, "Hey, these guys are really on to something here!" So those people join up and start blaring, and others jump on the bandwagon, and all of these people start preaching to their families, friends, and neighbors about how bad this thing is, and how right they are, and pretty soon half the community has been recruited. Other people see what's gonig on, they don't want to be left out, and they get pushed down with all the other dominoes in their turn. Think of it as peer pressure; they want to be included, they want to look good, and others will follow.
That's probably what happened to most of the soldiers involved with the beatings. Maybe a select few with sadistic tendancies started up the bandwagon, and the others just hopped on so they wouldn't lose face.
Doesn't sound like human behavior, you say? Ask a bunch of smokers what made them start. You'll be shocked.

Re: !@#$ Nazis!!!
You're quite bitter for one so young. Personally, I blame the Bush administration for that.
Actually, there are whole agencies dedicated to figuring out precisely what the dominant attitude is. If I weren't so lazy, I'd go find them. Offhand, I 'll say that, to me, state and local laws are probably the best gauge of popular sentiment, as those are the laws that the populace is most easily able to effect. Based on the state laws that are being proposed and passed nationwide, I'd say homosexuals have more to worry about that Muslims as a whole in terms of the dominant attitude toward them.
I'm not quite sure how the smoking comment relates. There's a lot of reasons why people start smoking. Peer pressure/desire to fit in is only one. Often, it's a self-destructive tendency bordering on depression that leads to smoking, in my opinion.
Btw, the South is not exactly known for it's lack of bigotry. However, there are a lot of redneck-types who take anything the Bush administration says as gospel. The one truly good thing Bush did after 9-11 (in my opinion) was stand up and say that this was a few freaks, not the entire Muslim faith (I may be paraphrasing with the freaks part ) - a message he repeated several times over, including in the State of Union address. That eliminated a lot of the bigotry that could have come from the "follow me" crowd.

Re: !@#$ Nazis!!!
As someone with cause to be extremely familiar with the Israeli/US relationship, I can assure you that is not the case (Sharon is scum, however). Prior to Sharon in particular, that's not the case. And the US has always been far less supportive of Israel than one would think from the news reports presented by the European press. The European Union has it's own economic reasons for it's actions and attitudes toward Palistinians, and the American Press isn't the only media outlet that an spin. But that's a whole different discussion.
In any case, who profits most from America's actions? Who profits most by controlling oil in Iraq? America and Saugi Arabia.
I suspect you'll fnd a serious look into the ties between the current administration and the Saudi Arabian government will be a bit alarming on some level. If you really want to get pissed, start researching all the ties between the Bush family and the Bin Laden family. Go back starting with Prescott Bush for that one.

Re: !@#$ Nazis!!!
well, full story is he is nobody on the forum liked him much, he had realy wierd ideas and said realy anti-everything stuff, mainly women and children bashing. heres one post of his;
Okay, I have a bone to pick with the United States of America's Law protecting women from rape!!, what the hell do you mean i cant rape whoever the hell i please!, It's my right as a man to rape any damn no good woman i see fit to rape, Women deserved to be raped every so often, it keeps them in line and they know their role, IN THE KITCHEN, and on the BED, with THEIR LEGS SPREAD, and in the DELIVERY ROOM!!, if you think otherwise, then you're either a coward, a queer, or a WOMAN!, also, I'm going to petition this law, and try to have it changed... If you're a woman you deserve no better than to be raped by any man that see's fit to rape your ignorant ass.
so anyway, one post 'Concentration Camps A go-go!' reeeeeaaaaaly pissed me off, so i did a minor hack into his runboard profile to get his MSN address (as you know it dosnt work jus clickin on the button) i didnt add him, but i put in a post 'if you have any complaints (which you probably do) email him here: (and his address)'
he got angry and posted a threatening reply to a JOKE! err, the post has been deleted but il scan through my chat logs on MSN to see if it was saved when i talked to the board manager.
