    This is not fighting. This is what I call DEFENDING our nation in the only way I know. To remain silent, and play along is what is wrong with most of the uninformed Americans in this nation. The enemy loves it when we STAY SILENT.
    I see jafar as an enemy of America. This is a forum YOU created for members to speak their mind, or give their opinions.
    That is what I have done.
    Nope, I would just prefer some back off with the hatred and non-stop personal feuds. One can fully disagree with Jafar, even passionately, without taking it to a personal level. That's all I'm asking.

    Speaking just for myself, I am busily making a career out of disagreeing with Jafar ... I find myself discovering a 'wealth' of material which makes it all too easy.

    The best approach, though, is one I strive for. Namely, the dissection of an argument which I believe doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Either this is possible, or it isn't. If I have material I can call upon to back me, so much the better.

    That said, though, and being mindful of what you intend, Jim ... I'd still say that I appreciate Aboutime's position. His is one of motivation which stems from great love of country. I wish to make clear that I have the utmost respect for this .. and I believe we should acknowledge the nobility of that motivation.
    It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!

    I understand his frustration or anger, but it's still possible to remain above the fray. I've been reading your posts since you became a member here. I know you're not a card carrying member of Islam. But I think you've generally remained polite/cordial while you remained passionate and steadfast in your beliefs.

    You're expecting a bunch of grumpy old men to stop being grumpy. This ought to be good.

    Nope, the grumpy are free to congregate in the steel cage if they must.

    A great many of them are surrounded by sand with water in very, very short supply. They do not bath regularly. Myself, taking many very nice long hot showers is routine I abide by.
    How is the water supply in your neck of the woods?
    I trust it is adequate.... or was the water problem on your mind a personal one?---Tyr
