    i think there is honestly a lot more truth to this than anyone would care to admit. the oppressive prohibition of one of humanity's most basic urges is ridiculous. catholics tend to go wild once they can, so do a lot of those prim and proper christian girls once they get to college and can fuck like rabbits without consequences. the only difference is, there is no outlet for these guys. the women know they face execution if they give it up and the penalties for the guys are also pretty harsh as i recall. it's fucked up and very unhealthy.

    so its not just me who's a horny fucker then!!! :D


    I agree with the sentiment of Mr Soulsinging here... I genuinely believe that the sexual repression within religion leads to a lot of problems... maybe it doesnt directly lead to Suicide Bombers... but if a young chap came to me and said " i wanna be a suicide bomber" first thing i'd offer him was a computer, internet connection, a darkened room and an industrial size box of tissues... i'm guessing once he had his eyes opened so to speak he'd become a fully fledged Westerner ;)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Maybe, if we gave them tanks and planes and missiles and rockets... oh, and uniforms... then, everyone would be happy... right?

    I am on the same page as you????


    If they had airplanes and helicopters and tanks, then there would be no need to blow themselves up. Hell it isn't even a fair fight and people bitch about the "terrorist" action. If they had the fire power they would complain that they aren't using it nice enough for the rest of the world.

    Are the people who blow themselves up on par with the kamikaze pilots in WWII? We know they were honoured by their peers. Anything is legal and fair in war and oppression. Or at least what you have as your resource at the time of history.

    kamikaze pilots were citizens of a country. and were mislead by their government in their own 'like' time of patriotism, nationalism, romanticism.....poor guys..

    I think we're on the same page.
    The people who complain about their tactics seem to approve killing by technologically advanced weaponry. Maybe if the U.S. gave Hezbollah some Spectre Gunships, Apache Longbows and F-16s, they wouldn't resort to bomb vest and the people who complain would be satisfied.

    As opposed to the nomads of the world that we are discussing in this thread? Funny how after 911, I read, had it told to me, heard it on the radio, watched it on t.v. and all those cases told me where every one of the "terrorists" came from. You get your info from different sources?

    China will never be attacked cause they have a powerfull army, Iran and North Korea are not the most dominant army but they're still stronger than what you've seen in Afghan., Irak or Lebanon. So they obviously look at the power of the military, before invading an "axis of evil" country...

    "Giving" an army to those nations would prevent invasions from foreign country, probably preventing most of the terrorist attacks in those regions, probably leading to less alienation towards the "west", leading to less terrorist attacks in the "west" country... Then those militaries would respond to the state and to those state government, therefore it would be possible to held a nation government accountable for the actions of their army (situation in Darfur right now), instead of pure generalization and speculations over the "funding" of terrorist groups and "support" from government to terrorist groups. Anyway it was just some thoughts...

    Arguments that suicide bombings are motivated solely by "desperation" or oppression are very flawed. Logically speaking, if poverty, oppression, and other socioeconomic factors were the sole cause, you'd see a lot MORE suicide bombers out there. I mean, Palestinian culture as a whole is said to be oppressed, no? Yet not all Palestinians condone violence, let alone suicide bombings. In fact, the vast majority would not blow themselves up. We have to include psychological distress/disorder, personality factors, religion, and sociocultural factors as well ...
