    I stated them clearly. I asked the question: Is this what Bush is sending 20,000 more troops into. I stated that the war is unwinnable, because struggles of popular insurgency cannot be defeated. The video was there to clarify my point. That sniper is just one of many. The troops are fighting a largely hidden enemy, not too dissimilar to that encountered in Vietnam.
    I then re-stated my opinion that the troops should be brought home.

    I was then accused by a number of people on the board of sympathising with the sniper, and of revelling in the sight of U.S troops being taken out.

    Like i said: Pathetic!

    Of course, all of us dim litted Americans are just pathetic in your Euro elitist eyes. Is this some kind of Boston Tea Party thing? Get over it already.

    I usually never respond to the posts about the 9/11 conspiracy theories because i cant believe how someone could blame the american government for the death of 3000 americans..when we all know it was islamic fundamentalists.

    ever think it could be both?

    I miss those days when you posted here more often, Eva! actually i tend to think of 2003-2004 as the "glory days" of MT, and of the message pit in general. maybe its just because it was fresher then. i first came to the pit to chat about the '03 tour, and then i got into some political discussions, mainly about the war, and here i am still talking about tours and wars...

    but most threads on MT I no longer bother with. when you're politically active for 7 years, the arguements become old and tiresome... but if you go to other political message boards, it's pretty much the same thing, so I don't fault MT. politics in general seems to be forever stuck in a rut, and seems to have been that way since the beginning of politics. read Plato's The Republic. it was all the same bullshit back then, and it caused Plato to turn against democracy.

    the train may be moving, but it's in a dark tunnel, and I don't see any light at the end of it. which is why i prefer to be on a moving spaceship. it may not be realistic, but at least it's fun.

    i think maybe I just have a weird addiction to this board that i can never break. there's a few of you here whose point of view i look for. we're all just trying to make sense of the world. if nothing else, political discussion - no matter how volatile or immature - leads towards that understanding.

    i guess.
    wow this an really great point bout the MT, id even throw in 05 as part of the glory years of the MT. its sad this place has become a shithole, its time KAT and SEA did the right thing and got rid of some board members and restore order to this place

    I have been a fan of Pearl Jam since 92. And i've been around this board since at least then. I only stumbled on MT last year and my shock has been unabated.

    You have a join date of Jan 2007. And you've been around the board since at least '92?

    No offense, but I think you should really take a moment to see what an annoying nuisance you've been in the short time since your "join date."

    I think what happened is that you were banned, and now you're back with a mission to ruin things for the rest of us who are smart enough to keep from ending up in your situation. You're like the grinch who stole the moving train forum -or is at least trying to steal it.

    That's a surefire way to turn society right down the shitter.

    "But HE posted videos of people getting killed so it should be okay for me too right??!"

    Stop crying and go have some tea and crumpets.

    Thanks for that pointless comment.

    Another pathetic, lame comment. At least you're consistent.

    I agree with the thesis of the thread. Shut this place down. Let's talk about the music again. If you want to spread Islamo-propaganda, go to a fucking Mosque.

    Why is it that all the neo-con, pro Israeli types on here are so eager to have the M.T shut down?
    You should be banned again a second time for the above post. You bring nothing but negativity and bullshit to this forum.
    Islamo-propaganda? What a joke! Your only problem is that you have no argument. When putting words into the mouths of others, twisting others comments, and spewing bile doesn't get you your own way, you begin calling for the M.T to be shut down. You sound like a spoilt school child who can't get his own way.If you don't like the M.T - because there aren't enough pro-Israeli, pro Iraq war bible thumpers on here - then why don't you simply take your own advice and fuck off out of it?

    P.s, and the beers are now on you bubba. You now owe me one after you've pissed me off! ;)

    If you cannot have a serious debate without insulting anyone and want to talk about music go to the Other Music forum or the Porch.

    Really, I mean if you don't like the place the no one's twisting your arm making you come here. What it really boils down to is wanting to stop others from being able to come here and express themselves in a way that he strongly disagrees with. So he tries to make all the trouble he can to ruin it for the rest of us. The best thing we can do is just put the troll on ignore.

    Hey man, no problem. And im not from the South and I ain't no Bubba. You've pissed me off quite a few times, but I still continue to say I respect your intelligence, but don't like your message. The shit ain't personal. End of story. Let's move on..And for the record, Im not pro-war, i dont own a bible, and i do think Israel shares blame.

    so let me get this straight. because you are upset about a video being posted you want the entire moving train closed? come on man. thats a little extreme. its kind of like people wanting to get rid of all guns because a person gets shot.
    i see shit on here everyday i don't agree with. if i can debate it i will post, if not i will ignore it, which alot of people around here are unable to do lately. i might even jump in to defend people that i respect and have come to know in my time on the train. if i am offended or simply disagree you will never see me calling to have the entire thing shut down. you will never see 99.9% of the people on here calling for that. to be honest i am surprised that this thread has not been locked and a few people banned for a bit. all threads like this do is poison the environment for everyone else.

    by the way, the gloating thread about byrnzie's video being "gone" was the most immature thing i have seen on here in years. what point did that serve other than to piss people off?

    I didnt start this thread at all. You might want to have a chat with Vedderlution. IMHO this place reflects badly on the band, and im here as fan of the band...

    For the opinions of random individuals to reflect in any way on the band, those opinions would have to be interpreted as being expressed on behalf of the band.

    For a person to interpret those opinions as being expressed on behalf of the band, that person would have to be pretty naive and have no understanding of what an open forum is.

    And if said person is that naive and uninformed, then his/her opinion probably doesn't carry a whole lot of weight within any spheres of influence to begin with.

    In which case, reflection on the band of opinions expressed in this forum is a moot subject.
