Does anyone give a shit anymore?

I haven't really been through any media wars except Iraq, so is this new- or is Iraq the first war that's falling second-page?

I'm talking in terms of a general concern about how it's going, not a patriotic rush every 2 and a half years when they first get the vote or they knock down a statue. It seems pretty ridiculous to expect us to care about a war we haven't seen being fought, for a cause which we won't benefit from. This isn't saving the world, after all, it's fighting the ideas of a country's own inhabitants, there's no real way to "win," unlike Vietnam.

So I'm asking, when is it OK to stop making it a frontpage story? There's better things to worry about, after all, and learning about new abductees and getting updated stats on how many Americans were blown up in a single month is going to lose its draw eventually. Actually, I think it happened a few years back.

I mean: will newspapers put Iraq headlines at a cost loss in the future? Or will the war soon be declared won, and the dying soldiers and abducted carpenters just not receive notices?

Semi-ontopic, the reason they are abductung people and executing them is to make the squeemish amongst us give up. We've proven time and time again that if you kill just a few of our soldiers we will retreat.

These are not ideals we are fighting, its brainwashing and anti-everyone-else propaganda that has effected the majority of the middle-east. Muslim fanatics attack targets internationally, not just the west. Its gotta be stopped.

The only cure for hatred is love.

When that fails, bomb the fuck out of them and then torture the survivors.

You're going to leave survivors? Bah too much risk involved.

He's gotta point there.  Rome suffered three wars with Carthage until they genocided the lot of them.

Also, the people taken were their to promote an anti-war agenda... so they were captured by those they came to help... ironic?

Moo-slimes are a bunch of pricks. They need to die. Anyone see Team America? I loved the terrorists. Funny shit.

You know, the way these terrorists have been treating their captives I wouldn't be surprised if they agreed to be "abducted" and held for ransom.

After all, it's for a good cause. Unforunately they're getting absolutely zero press coverage, because no one gives a shit about the plight of thousands of innocent olives in prison, so long as they're not killing John McAmerica. And so long as there's no press coverage, there's no civilian uproar, meaning Washington can just say "we're going to hunt them down, as well as who they abducted.. soon. when we can get more information like where they are. which we can't. btw we don't cooperate with terrorists!!!! we're americans!"

I'm also betting the terrorists had more to say than "Free prisoners." They probably talked about how half of them were imprisoned during sweeps and haven't even been charged.

>>6
Yes, the irony. They deserve what they got, trying to help those stupid sand niggers.

I wouldn't even let a filthy Islamic pig give me a rim job. Piss on the camelfucking raghead bastards. Have a nice day.

You guys are so propagandized. The elites tell you who the enemy is, and you dutifully hate them. The sad thing is that you think you're free.

>>11

You're so propagandized. You see the little guy and automatically assume he's being oppressed or hated. The big bad government and corperate machine is out to get the innocent little moslems (pfft).

You can't really make this kind of generalization. Just like not every "westerner" as we're called (I am from south america btw) hates those LOL ISLAMIC FAGGOTS WITH TOWELS ON THEIR HEADS WHO SCREAM AGHRGAHGGUEAGFGH WHILE WAVING THEIR AKs AROUND, not every inhabitant from the countries you invade (and waste the lives of your soldiers on... really) hate "us".
Bush has made a terrible job in his administration so far, shitting all over your faces, yet he gets a second term. Which is why I don't scoff anymore at the comparations made between the Roman Empire and the U.S.A.

>>13
Y un huevo, the Roman Empire was much better

Comparations as in "USA will be destroyed from the inside out, much like the Roman Empire and their shitty administration".

>>13
You're right. They're not at all worth one the life of one US soldier. But- no one listened to me when I insisted on a "glass country" policy using napalm.

all muslims need to go.

...yeah, if every problem the US had was solved by flinging napalm at it, we'd have half the world still churning fumes out of thousands of charred corpses. You may think little of the random civilian dwellers, and believe that your life is worth 1000 of theirs, but that's not true. I don't think the innocent bystander, or the little children wish to be killed.

>>18
I wish there were a way to solve problems without touching innocents. Like a "is a terrorist? Dies; else lives" bomb.

There are no innocent muslims. torch all the fuckers.

Not every muslim wants to burn the "american" flag. The terrorists actions of late have been terrible, but these actions are executed by groups, not by entire countries.

Who cares anyways, they're muslims

Eh its human nature to kill/fight each other. Who the hell cares anymore. >,>

Yeah, who cares, 'cause they're muslims. It's this kind of irrational thinking that will lead mankind to its own doom.

muslims have lost my respect. Consider when I was born and learnt to speak, "muslim" and "japanese" were just words for my ears. Then I learnt to differentiate them, and through my life, I've seen things that made me like ones, and hate others. I was not inherently biased or hated them from the start. They worked hard for me to get to hate them, and now after what I've seen I no longer care if they die.

muslims are low beasts. they need to be harvested.
