I am tired of his hollow meaningless posts and his ignorance.
Ignorance is the birthplace of racism and xenophobia.
These lasts racial comments are not the only time he crossed the line.
At times I felt sorry for him because he seems to be genuinely and sincerely ignorant. But now I think enough is enough. Stupidity is stupidity. He isn't going to wisen up in one day, and he just really doesn't get it, even when people point it out to him. I think he's been safely tucked away from reality for a while. It's hard to say what a person is really like outside of the boards, but here he seems like someone who just isn't very good with people at all. I don't need Joshua to be politically correct so I can feel comfortable. I quite enjoy opposing or unconventional views, but as a colored person, I take offense to his comments:
"Colored people or not as white Caucasians Europeans [...] have the tendency to hate America [which has] protected the whole World against maniacs as Hitler, [...]Bosnia [...] Hussein and Ben Ladin ...."
I further take offense to his stupifying comments:
"USA's injustices around the World at least are done under war schemes, and everybody has the choice to go shoot in a war or not."
I doubt he has talked to a vietnam vet. I doubt he has been in a trench somewhere fighting for his life. I wonder if he's talked to anyone who's been in a war. War is unfortunate and a tragedy for all humans. Any humans, whichever "side" they are on. A volunteer army or a conscript army do not determine a true choice to go shoot in a war or not. Many people join because its a job and education opportunity, and never really expect to go to war. When they find themselves in a real war, they don't want to shoot to kill, but they do. Saying something as stupid as that is just like saying police in decmocracies join the police force so they can shoot criminals. That is as far a cry from the truth as you can get.
"But the dictatorial leaders of foreign countries with unchristian beliefs contrary to Jesus's true teachings like to fight more and more in the name of their supposed God on extremist levels and surprise attacks where personal murder is more evident and lack of courage somehow to face the enemy right behing cowards!..."
One thing for sure is that Joshua is not political genius. It's such comments which fuel war and hatred and death and destruction. To make such a ignorant comment, Joshua is as whacko as the fanatical terrorsists as far as I'm concerned. At the risk of sounding anti-USA (and I am not) may I say that the Somalians, Panamanians, Iraqis, Vietnamese, and just about anyone being bombed must at some time have thought the Americans are cowards for hiding in the safety of their technology, flying high in the skies.
"To talk against America is easy but why then those manipulators, leaders of banana republics with bank accounts in Switzerland, as all the
African leaders mostly, and Arab ones, don't leave America alone please!..."
So now most of Africa is banana republics with bank accounts in Switzerland? I wonder if Joshua thinks these "African leaders" and "Arab ones" read this site. Why is he asking them here on this forum, on this webspace, on this excog site, on this place for exmembers to find healing, to "leave America alone please"? Maybe Joshua mistook this board for the Pan African-Arab world leader with fat Swiss accounts bulletin board.
PLEASE BAN THIS GUY, OR I AM OUTTA HERE.
