KF, the reason I want to know Wild's ethnic background and where he was born and raised is NOT to ridicule or attack him on those points, but because by knowing those answers we can be in a better position to judge, as you say, "his motivations." This is not to say that I will not disagree with him regardless of those motivations, but it would go a long way to trying to at least understand the reasoning behind his posts (pastes). A case in point is Fairplay. He and I have been sparring on the Poll about attacking Iraq thread. Once I knew he was from Indonesia it made for, I think, a better (not necessarily all warm and fuzzy) dialogue. At least he and I are exchanging pleasantries to some degree now. Even though I disagree with Fairplay about a LOT of things, I respect him for being honest enough to tell us where he's from. Wild's unwillingness to be honest and come clean but to also respond merely with other peoples' words and not exchange in any form of dialogue should make it obvious that he could care less about others' opinions. Furthermore, and it's kind of sad, he obviously can't think for himself either. Save yourself a lot of time and just put him on Ignore. I check his posts only to see if he has anything original to say (he never does). If I see a pasted link, which is ALL the time, click - I just close the window. (Wild, since I know you'll read this, please know I don't even bother to look at the links you post anymore.)
Very difficult to know. I suspect a clinical psychologist could take a stab at a diagnosis, based on what he has posted, his responses and lack thereof, his inability or unwillingness to interact with others, and his comments in the chat sessions.... and since I can only play a clinical psychologist on the internet, my in depth diagnosis is that he is a dick. Without the ability to dialogue, without the ability to listen to inflection, tone, watch body language, without a third party to provide some objectivity on the dialogue, internet relationships or internet communities remain quite strange, don't they? I find that after a while if you pay enough attention to folks who post on the internet with frequency, you will find out if they are for real, and if not you can witness their psychosis reveal itself in any number of ways over the course of time.
Never did thank you, max, for your work on the "Hunt the Boeing" thread, helping to debunk that conspiracy claptrap. So... thanks. As for the issue of wild's origins, based on interactions in the chat room, I consider it highly unlikely that he's an Islamic Fundamentalist The gourmet cuisine and German rah-rah don't square with my usual picture of same. Having thought back, I also have to amend some comments of my own: I'm fairly confident that wild is capable of expressing himself in English with high proficiency. He may even have lived in the United States for an extended period of time, perhaps as a child. I didn't know whether to take him seriously, but during one stray exchange I believe he claimed to have attended elementary school here. I think that narrows him down to eccentric Euro with big historical chip on his shoulder. Nuff said, IMO.
This is interesting, if it is accurate. Has anyone seen confirmation of this? A US Media Mystery: The Case of the Missing Information about Iraqâs Weapons A Chronicle report The major media in the US seem intent on following a script worthy of an Agatha Christie mystery. They lay out a few clues at best and withhold or obscure facts that could give you a better picture of why and how the crime was committed. The plot? The missing 8,000 pages the United States edited out of Iraqâs 11,800-page dossier on weapons before it passed on a âsanitizedâ version to the 10 non-permanent members of the United Nations security council, according to a December 22 story in the Glasgow, Scotland Sunday Herald. The five permanent members of the security councilâthe US, the UK, France, China and Russiaâwere given access to the complete âtop secretâ version of the dossier. Secretary General of the UN Kofi Annan called it was âunfortunateâ that the UN had allowed the US to take the only complete dossier and edit it. Norway, a fellow (non-permanent) member of the Security Council, was miffed; its UN spokesperson said Norway felt like it was being treated like a âsecond-class countryâ because it wasnât made privy to the complete dossier. ... We watched and waited for more details, thinking surely our âmajor mediaâ would be on the case, giving front-page coverage to this monumental mystery. But noâit was holiday time; the front pages were filled with stories about shoppers in malls and ruminations about North Korea. The crime of omission wasnât even brought up. The needed information came through on December 18 by way of a Geneva-based reporter, Andreas Zumach. He broke the story on the US national listener-sponsored radio and television show "Democracy Now!,â reporting that he had found that the missing pages provided the names of US corporations, government agencies and even nuclear labs that over the years have helped arm Iraq, and train Iraqi personnel in the use of these armsâillegally. -cont- http://www.baltimorechronicle.com/media_ommisions_jan03.shtml http://www.thememoryhole.org/corp/iraq-suppliers.htm
The Biggest Threat To Peace Which country really poses the greatest danger to world peace in 2003? TIME asks for readers' views Who really poses the greatest danger to world peace? Iraq and North Korea are certainly high on President Bush's list though Iraq is still working hard to deny him a reason to attack. A 12,000-page report on its nuclear, chemical and biological programs has been given to the United Nations but Bush and his dependable friend Tony Blair say they have "solid evidence" that Saddam is lying and have called for weapons inspection teams to step up their work. Meanwhile, as the fuel rods go in and UN inspectors go away, the specter of a nuclear-armed North Korea is keeping the reclusive regime on everybody's radar. Washington and Pyongyang are talking tough but is the biggest danger to peace closer to home? European antagonism towards Bush's robust stance is now being mirrored in the U.S., with even those he might normally consider his allies now urging caution. So TIME asks you: which country poses the greatest danger to world peace in 2003? North Korea Iraq The United States poll at http://www.time.com/time/europe/gdml/peace2003.html regards wild
For the umpteenth time, Wild reposts the same link to the same articles....Ya Volt...I know nothing, nothing! Colonel Klink.... What a total moron who continues to post the same invalid internet poll on different threads to make a meaningless point. Typical brain dead German mentality. They think if they keep doing something over and over again, it will finally mean something. Too funny.
Pakistanis Flee to Canada and Uncertainty Families Uprooted By INS Deadline By Michael Powell Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, January 18, 2003; Page A01 ST-BERNARD DE LACOLLE, Quebec -- The Faroukhs walk across the border in the dark before dawn, a Bronx family about to become international flotsam. The wife pulls tight on her blue cloth coat against the minus 5-degree chill and wind, and tugs at the hand of her 5-year-old son. He's wrapped in a parka and carries a red King Babar backpack. They're crying. "Cold," she whispers. "It's so cold." Her husband walks 10 yards behind, pulling three stuffed valises wrapped in rope. He's a slender man, and his loafers slip and squeak in the snow. They come in a steady stream to these border posts each week, hundreds of Pakistanis like the Faroukhs who have lived -- often for many years -- in the United States without legal residency papers. Pakistani men living as visitors in the United States have until Feb. 21 to register with the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The INS requires men from 25 nations considered security threats to register. For those without visas in these nervous times since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, deportation is almost a certainty. Hundreds of registrants have been arrested since the program began Dec. 16. The detentions have sparked protests and demonstrations, and this week the INS extended deadlines, but also added five nations to the registration program. Rather than wait for the inevitable, many Pakistanis have chosen to run, often with families in tow. They hope to obtain asylum in Canada. ... more at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A8619-2003Jan17.html regards wild updated TIME poll results at http://www.time.com/time/europe/gdml/peace2003.html
