But judging from the rest of what you wrote, it is not because of some sort of a superior claim to manliness. It would appear that you really do mistake an immature young boy&#039;s false perceptions of &quot;manliness&quot; for true maturity. Go watch your naked women and monster truck rallies, and leave this business to real men.
This is a reasonable and responsible way to voice an opinion. There was nothing whiney, emasculated, or immature about it. It actually reflects a high level of awareness, intelligence, risk, and overall, maturity. Instead of whining, he is doing the responsible thing and acting on his beliefs.
The title and closing statemtent really are disgusting on multiple levels. First, to say that the entire middle east hates us for any one reason, especialy one like the one you presented, is a horribly reductionist position. Secondly, your reality is entirely turned around if you think that anybody in the middle east would choose to hate another whole group of people (us) based on the rational and logical action of responsibly standing up for ones convictions in protest of our policy in the middle east. Im sure the entire middle east really hates us because of those damn people showing a little backbone through protest of our continued invasion of their countries. Use your brain before you post things. And lastly, I think it is much more likely that your statements would fuel anti-american sentiment across the world than the ones you complain about. You condemn responsible protest in favor of macho bullshit straight from the brain of a not overly-bright teenage boy who just hit puberty and can&#039;t control his hormones. Instead of saying something about his position, you take exception with the fact that it is responsible instead of your twisted hyper-masculine view of manliness. As if to say it would be better if he were blowing things up and banging a lot of chicks in protest, because thats what matters.
Respond or do not respond to this as you see fit. You have already shown from previous posts that you have no interest in defending yourself. Not that I can blame you, considering you have such an indefensible position. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You are right, jimmy, you probably would be embarassed to write something like that.

If you want to ask a german question, instead of a leading one, and ask nicely, I might well answer you. But, nice conspiracy flourish at the end, though. You get style points for that.
Here&#8217;s a bonus thought for you as well. I own my outrage and it is not &#8220;encouraged&#8221; by anyone. Can you say the same?&quot;
Jimmie
You do not well answer anything, you child, you avoid and rephrase. You try the red herring as well, who givs a fuck about owning outrage, every owns their emotions, dipstick.
Prove that anyone knows little about your spoutings. Answer them directly to prove them wrong. You are so weak, and it is seen by all.
Why don&#039;t you engage me, you wimp? </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&quot;You presume much about what I think, alyosha, but know little.

He&#039;s taking a real risk; you have to take it seriously. You may question his judgement but it&#039;s foolish to doubt his courage.
Jimmie&#039;s jesting is just folly. He&#039;s taking no risks, so he need not be taken seriously.
It&#039;s a matter of maturity. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chris Hedge&#039;s defiance of the taxman is heavy business, especially if he publishes the fact online.

However, is it coincidence that this outrage of yours is exactly what the powers that be are encouraging?  They don&#039;t want you to think or question.  Just be angry and believe whatever they tell you.  You say your outrage is your own, but I doubt it. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, I own my own outrage, and I&#039;m glad to read that you do too, or at least you say you do.</p><p>However, is it coincidence that this outrage of yours is exactly what the powers that be are encouraging?
