Comments:
<0> no i was simply commenting on the constant overreactions
<0> i was tired of it so i joined in
<1> do you think it would be... mor ebeneficial to the future if i learend arabic or pharsi?
<0> beneficial to the future or beneficial to you?
<0> for what purpose?
<1> heh i dont even know
<0> planning to join military?
<1> what do you think will be the bigger news maker
<0> planning for iran to occupy the world?
<1> not joining the military as a solider
<0> what are you getting at?
<1> but i would like to work with them or with our gvt
<0> wanna be a foreign businessman or consultant?
<1> no no
<1> for security or safety ect
<1> but not as a soldier
<0> so for career purposes
<0> i am very interested in that myself
<1> not necesarilly just to make money
<1> i mean I wouldnt just go get a job with some company in iran
<1> i would want to work with our gvt looking at documents or soemthing
<0> that is, using my interest in language, my background in tech, and my hope to learn & do more business
<1> translating them or something i doing kow
<0> i have some articles you may want to read
<1> *dont know
<1> go for it... ill put them in my favorites
<0> i thought translating would be less and less with automation
<0> less & less important
<1> well i want to do something important heh
<1> but i dotn want to be a warrior...
<0> but i you get good enough you can make a decent living
<0> i've done the warrior thign
<0> i no longer believe in it
<1> yah, of course iw ant to make money, i just meant i dont want to work just for any random iraq/iran company
<1> i would want to work for some purpose
<1> with our gvt or something world invovled like that
<0> but i have a lot of interest in other cultures
<0> well i will not do it with govt
<0> i believe in individual to individual
<0> and private parties
<1> yes but...
<1> how can you do something important to the world through that?
<0> you need to buy into the system
<0> especially in the current climate
<1> well just erase this moment in time out... (yah i know you cant(
<1> but dont get the idea that i want to learn arabic so i can do Georges bidding in iraq
<1> but i woudl liek to do something more important than just getting a job with a foreign company
<1> doing mundane work there... rather than here
<0> doing your own free trade, being a translator for NGO's, working or teaching in foreign country
<0> lots of ways
<1> i think you get my drift
<1> what are these articles?
<0> and i didn't think you were going there
<0> with that
<1> i still need to figure out... if i want to do this, and if I should learn arabic or farsi/pharsi.. how do you spellit?
<2> riznat
<1> yes iss?
<2> this combat diary is good
<1> hell yah
<1> only 8 mins left in it for me here... but im going to rewind it
<1> since im talking on here and not opaying enough attention
<0> well there is one website i like, with a lot of columnists...
<2> 1:08 left here
<0> one of them is an expatriate who lives in japan and writes a lot of funny articles
<0> one was about what to have your child do in life
<0> said have them look into languages
<1> pfft, i bet hes just in japan for video games and anime :)
<1> yah, i dunno i just feel that inside me...
<0> personally it's hte only thing i've ever really *loved*
<1> that i really need to get into the middle east culture because.. clearly its going ot be in my life
<0> languages that is
<1> my whole lifetime
<0> i mean i like and work in computers
<3> LET'S GO OILERS, LET'S GO
<1> yah but theres your job
<1> and theres... life
<1> and language/culture and history is life and makes a difference
<0> but i just sort of fell into it
<1> making a website pays the bills and is a fun hobby
<0> i never grew up thinking all i wanna be when i grow up is a database developer
<1> haha
<1> i never thought anything whatsoever about the middle east
<1> but i got hooked on watching the war ... i got hooked on all things middle east
<1> and now i find myself craving any tv show about it
<1> history / current anything
<1> and trying to read more ... which is the biggest step i should have taken years ago
<0> i don't pay a lot of attention to tv news
<1> not news, but documentary shows
<0> i have found out a lot of history is wrong
<0> well those too
<3> LET'S GO OILERS, LET'S GO
<3> what do you mean, "a lot of history is wrong?"
<1> well i just watch them because its extrmeemly interesting to me, i cant say i believe everthing about them
<3> morally or factually?
<0> for example left-wing is accused of wanting to revise history
<0> a lot of what they accuse of is correct
<0> but they don't put it in a moral context
<3> everyone is accused of revising history
<1> hell... michael moore makes "documentaries" doesnt mean they are facts
<1> but generally shows on like A&E or history channel are fairly objective
<3> you're well aware that history is written by those with the luxury to write history
<0> however on the other hand academics from all sides agree on the basic facts
<0> but explain them away in different ways
<1> of course
<0> i don't buy into liberal v conservative either
<1> if you read a history about the glory of the mongol empire for instance...
<0> it's a false dichotomy
<1> you will think they are an amazing society (were)
<4> the labels may be false
<0> how about the glory of the current american empire?
<4> the ideologies are not
<1> but if you read the history of a little tribe taken over by them, you will think they were blood thirsty devils
<1> which part of it koshka
<0> well it's too huge to get into in a forum like this
<1> basically... the world is a ****ty ****ty place when you get down too it
<1> :/
<0> i'm reading 'empire of debt' by bonner
<0> it's a start
<0> world has always been
<1> im currently reading "the secret history of the iraq war"
<1> :)
<0> cool
<0> by whom
<0> my previous book was good too... "the real lincoln" by dilorenzo
<1> yossef bodansky
<0> as opposed to the mythical one we all learned about
<0> all the scholars agree on the basic facts
<5> im currently reading Hustler - twelvteen
<3> hah
<1> well... when this war started i had a much different outlook than i do now
<1> but i was very ignorant
<0> but the ones who believe in the mythical lincoln simply say well he acted as dictator out of necessity
<0> this war is bull****
<0> and i know i will piss off the conservatives
<0> but you're not going to tell me anything either
<1> i cant say i think the war is bull****... but the tactics
<1> just stupid
<0> because i was one
<0> and michael moore... is a propagandist too
<1> i mean, to think we can just go into this place that has had war ect for the entire known history of our planet
<1> and everything would work out...
<0> and his stupid fake documentaries don't go nearly far enough as well
<1> thats just stupid
<1> i dont watch anything by him heh
<1> my school made me watchin bowling for columbine
<0> he is just a pressure relief valve for the left to yell about
<6> koshka88
<1> then we had a cl*** about the movie after to talk about all the"facts" in the movie
<1> it was utter BS
<0> but nothing will come of it
<6> im gonna eat em!
