Big Ol' Smitty Posted March 12, 2005 Report Posted March 12, 2005 Yet, you would of (sic) done nothing to remove him from power. So you support removing every oppressive regime in the world from power? Even our allies? If it was up to me than (sic) Yes. Okay, then where do you draw the line? Russia? China? What's your standard for invasion?
Guest MikeSC Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 Well, I doubt this will slow down INXS, but some problems about the story: Why would the Marines be involved since it was the ARMY who captured Hussein (the Fourth Infantry captured Hussein)? Why are there no names that even "sound" Arabic listed of soldiers who died between 12/10 and 12/12 (check for yourself. 12/10-12/12/03)? And, the two men who passed away on 12/12 were not Marines. -=Mike
Prime Time Andrew Doyle Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 Does anybody else think that if you told INXS that he U.S was responsible for every evil act in the world, he would agree. He has gotten beyond a joke now. He is just plain boring. No matter how flawed the theory is, INXS is always spewing his racist Anti-American comments and opinions.
Guest cosbywasmurdered Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 How is his dislike for America racist?
Big Ol' Smitty Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 How is his dislike for America racist? Americans are a race. Duh.
Guest MikeSC Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 Just like the French. They're a smell, not a race. -=Mike
The Thread Killer Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 How is his dislike for America racist? I think that Mr. Doyle meant that INXS is not only known for being anti-American, but also quite the anti-semite as well.

Guest Brian Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 Is anti-semitic really being racist? I mean, I realize it's the same ballpark, but are semitic people technically a race, or are they a religion?
Prime Time Andrew Doyle Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 I would say that he is an Anti Semite because of his opinions on Israel, which is a country.
Guest INXS Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 Um, just thought i'd clarify that i'm not "anti-American". I like America, lots of good stuff comes from America, I have many American friends. The problem I have is with the current American government and more specifially it's foreign policy. I feel the same way about my own UK government, it doesn't mean i'm anti-myself or something. As for Israel - sorry, but I seperate the government of the country of Israel from the Jewish race. I have no problems with Jewish people, regardless of my views surrounding the Israel/Palestine conflict. I think it was Colin Powell who said that "it is not anti-semitism to criticize the policies of Israel." To close, disagree with my views, fine. DO NOT paint me as racist and anti-semetic.
Guest BDC Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 Um, just thought i'd clarify that i'm not "anti-American". I like America, lots of good stuff comes from America, I have many American friends. Horseshit you do. You've defined yourself as an America-hating Brit through your actions and opinions. Don't try to back out, you've shown us what you are. EDIT: realized that an example might be called for; given that you believe a reporter whose story has changed over and over again over US troops and your continuous disgust directed at the troops, it's pretty clear. Don't insult our intelligence by lying to us.
Vyce Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 To close, disagree with my views, fine. DO NOT paint me as racist and anti-semetic. Don't act like one, and it won't be so easy for us to do so.
Guest MikeSC Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 Doesn't every racist on Earth say "I have black friends"? -=Mike ...Doesn't "I have American friends" reek of a similar sentiment?...
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 Haven't you said the same thing about blacks and gays yourself when confronted with the same accusations? This whole argument is fucking stupid.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 PS. I've never seen INXS say "I don't like black people or Jews" or slight them. Who cares if he doesn't like Americans? I don't even like most Americans, I can't stand the dumbshits in charge, and I've never met a Brit in person that I liked. They were all HORRIBLY sexually repressed with shitty teeth. Not liking people doesn't mean one is racist.
Guest MikeSC Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 Haven't you said the same thing about blacks and gays yourself when confronted with the same accusations? This whole argument is fucking stupid. Nope. I don't give two shits if people who don't know me have mistaken assumptions about me. -=Mike
kkktookmybabyaway Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 Doesn't every racist on Earth say "I have black friends"? No. I freely admit I have no black friends. It's a wonder I have any white friends...
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 I haven't seen anything anti-semitic about him, he agrees with the Palestinian side, but I know many that do, Muslim or not. Are they all anti-semitic too? There are tons of Canadians that dislike America for its policy and smug arrogance (or so they say). Does this mean that we're all anti-American? No, because there's a difference between hating certain aspects of a culture or government, and hating the people themselves.
Special K Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 I've gone off on INXS for his anti-Israeli sentiments, but his views make him ignorant, not rascist. And it's pefectly logical that people from other countries and, heck, this country distrust our military, simply because it is scarily powerful. And hating Americans or Canadians, or whatnot doesn't make you rascist, sorry.
Kahran Ramsus Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 I haven't seen anything anti-semitic about him, he agrees with the Palestinian side, but I know many that do, Muslim or not. Are they all anti-semitic too? Isn't he the guy that said the Jews lost WWII and thus didn't deserve a homeland? Or am I thinking of somebody else on this board. He certainly has seemed quite sympathetic to Nazi Germany in the past. At the very least he is sexist. Witness his comments in this folder and the LSD folder.
The Thread Killer Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 If I had the time and inclination, and if it wouldn't make me ill to read his crap, I would do a search and re-print some of the bile he has spewed about Isreal on this board. It's not worth the effort, but trust me...if you were to do such a search you would see that his opinions on Isreal as a nation do indeed border on outright racism.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 You (meaning anyone, not one particular poster) should pretty much treat an INXS post much like the way you treat that crazy uncle at your family reunion. Roll your eyes and move on...
The Thread Killer Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 Hmmm. The problem is, in my family...I think I'm the crazy uncle...but point well taken.
Vyce Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 There are tons of Canadians that dislike America for its policy and smug arrogance (or so they say). Does this mean that we're all anti-American? In general? No. Certain Canadian members of this board, I would argue yes.

Are they all anti-semitic too? Isn't he the guy that said the Jews lost WWII and thus didn't deserve a homeland? Or am I thinking of somebody else on this board. He certainly has seemed quite sympathetic to Nazi Germany in the past. No, I'm most certainly NOT that guy. Quit the hating people.
Vern Gagne Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 Yet, you would of (sic) done nothing to remove him from power. So you support removing every oppressive regime in the world from power? Even our allies? If it was up to me than (sic) Yes. Okay, then where do you draw the line? Russia? China? What's your standard for invasion? Honestly. Preceived threat, and financially. Although, a full military invasion isn't always necessary. In a country like Russia, I think the people will go more angry at Putin. Wouldn't suprise me if he's assassinated if he continues down this path.
