How can such actions be justified?

What a mess, what ever your opinion on Morsi, he was voted it in, and now his supporters are being mown down in the streets, crazy.

    It is justified by the current obama admin.

    As it was under bush admin.

    And we keep electing the same styles.

    I think the drift you may be missing is;

    If you don't know the most basic of facts, as in what part of the world these people live in then there is every chance you also fail the grasp other more basic facts about them, their culture and the like.

    And just because there are other bigots out there attempting to brand a religion as a terrorist organisation, well that is actually astounding but let's not get into the reasons as to why, you have access to one of the greatest education tools ever, use it.

    On that note, you and I have already done this back and forth on this topic, I am not one for flogging a dead horse. You are an admitted bigot on the matter, that about wraps the rest of it for me.

    As much as you claim to NOT being a bigot, a lot of people here see you AS a bigot. And that fits MY opinion of you. I only speak for myself right now, GF, you def come off as a bigot. And that sux cuz I'm sure you're prob a decent guy. Just got some fucked up way of thinking about things. And from Cali too, man, not too many of you down there. Grew up in so-cal and surfed many places in so-cal, including blacks in your neck of the sea, la jolla, trestles, etc. miss and love Cali BIGTIME....

    The mere fact you paint an entire religion as a terrorist organisation makes you a bigot. Or that you believe deportation or internment for an entire religion , including American citizens of said faith, makes you a bigot.

    I could go on but this is getting silly.

    Back on track, how does everyone feel about unarmed protesters being shot on the streets by an army who ousted a democratically elected party?

    BB the summer has been cooler than past summers, I live about 5miles from the beach but have never surfed but anyway the temp in my neck of the woods stays pretty nice for the most part,

    now onto my being a bigot.....not so much,if you or Moonpig or anybody on this forum ran into me here in dago and need help I would do what I could to help and I don't care what color your skin is or where you were born...but when I meet and talk to people I pay close attention to what they have to say and how they present them selfs(face movement and body language etc.) and if I feel or sense anything that would make me uneasy I avoid them and move on it's just the way I have been for a long time,now as far as the muslims go.....dude just watch the news...and tell me the last time you saw anything positive about the muslims and the ones I have encountered have been rude...I live a few blocks from muslim church (or what ever they're called) and from time to time you can see some muslim nut job screaming anti American shit...no I'm not kidding infact there was just a bomb threat I believe on their building and my guess it was one of the area locals that got tired of their shit, so there ya have it...my discomfort with the muslims here in the states so you guys can call me a bigot if you like but I doubt that you all raelly understand the muslim faith in America and I don't claim to tottaly understand their faith but to me I have seen all I need to see.

    The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt and Egypt is considered the middle east according to many such as The international airline organization......We know the culture ......and that is why the people wanted to overthrow Morsi
    he only supported the Brotherhood yet, that is not what he told the people. The Brotherhood is a terrorist organization. They are torching the Christian Churches not to mention the rape and beheading going on. They are not peaceful people and they do not want to coexist with any other than Islamist that live by the Koran. The Muslim Brotherhood Islamist are a religious, political, and social movement.
    What I have noticed on the train is that people from L.A., Gays, and the islamist are the most angry mean people I have ever come across in my life! You people are the only ones cursing and shouting names at people that have different opinions than you. Did you know Bigot has been redefined? It now means someone that is not afraid of another persons unreasonable anger.

    You have ZERO knowledge of my faith. Would it shock you if I told you my girlfriend is catholic? You need to turn your tv off and go see the world. The world isn't what FAUX news makes it out to being. Neither is my religion. I actually have a lot of infidel friends all over. I even smoke a bowl with them often to. :fp:

    And what I've noticed ridding in this train of yours, is that whenever someone calls you or anyone else out, you guys run like little kids and rat on them. You know who you are. I'm sure you guys have sea and Kat on speed dial. But I tell you what, most of us on this train can argue and disagree WITHOUT running and telling on us. Sometimes I wonder if I'm in kindergarten still.

    Oh and maybe all the GAYS, MUSLIMS and people from LA are angry cuz you paint us all as terrorists, "fags" or I dnt even know where the LA part came from.......remember one thing Areil, as one mr John Doe once said,"ask not what you can do for your country, ask what your country's doing to YOU."

    Hey! Maybe it'd do most well to lay down these silly brushes already.

    I'm from LA - I believe I'm among maybe a handful of other LA folks who post here. And yes, while there's some what-the-fuckness in our posts - rightfully so, I might say - to call us angry and mean?

    That in itself is angry and mean.

    Most of us, no matter from where we hail, are pretty respectful. I appreciate it, as prefacing a perspective with tantrums and vitriol will do shit to make me even want to explore that angle.

    Great start to the week. Hating and in-fighting.

    It'd be great if it could stop, maybe even just let up the teeniest bit, on one side.

    On either side?

    On both sides, every single one.

    Sick of these fucking sides already.

    You couldn't be FARTHER from the truth. Again, you have ZERO knowledge of my religion. Instead of watching FAUX for your info on my religion, why not either ask someone who KNOWS about Islam or maybe even go to a mosque (Muslim church as u like to refer to it as), and ask an imam (Muslim preacher).

    Oh and ignorance isn't boring, it's just that, ignorance. :D

    Let me quantify a fact...
    Yes.. I admit to being mean and angry at times... to stupid people.
    ...
    Let me quantify that last remark, to avoid stupid people from crying to the moderators about me being mean to them...
    I admit that I sometimes appear to write mean and angy responses to posted messages that carry moronic ideas, false statements and/or outright lies from people who may or may not be stupid, but just happen to type words in such a way as to convey stupid and moronic thoughts and/or ideas. So, in fact, I aim my responses to idiotic remarks and statements, rather than the dimly lit mind behind the moronic statement.
    ...
    I'm really quite a nice guy... in fact, I'm the nicest guy I know... just ask me.
    I just have a low tolerance for people who have no idea what they are talking about... yet, seem to believe they are adept at complicated issues, such as political affairs.
