GavSavesTheDay: ash is like a f'ucked up pinocchio
GavSavesTheDay: instead of his nose growing for every lie

look at description number two and have at him.

No one really cares. =\

look at description number two and have at him.

Brand New are good anyway and the rest of his list is great too.

Going out of your way to be a genre nazi is rather pathetic.

[Neoteric]

Yeah pretty much.

And the rest of his descriptions and his list overall are good.

[Luxor]

Brand New are good anyway and the rest of his list is great too.

Going out of your way to be a genre nazi is rather pathetic.

It's just that he called them "screamo". It adds to it by saying something like "Unlike most screamo bands, Brand New is deep and emotional".

:confused: :confused: :confused:

[whiteminority]

I thought most of you grew up and stopped giving a damn about what the mainstream thinks emo or screamo is?

[Concubine]

yeah. It's pointless.

[bottlerocket]

It's a lost cause.

In like 3 more years, "emo" will no longer be cool and we can listen to our damned music in peace.

[whiteminority]

I listen to it in peace, I just can't talk about it with anyone in peace. I don't even use the term emo actually anymore, I just say hardcore if they don't know what's up.

[cobert]

They just talked about Brian Wells on Americas Most Wanted.

I remember that thing when it happened, it was weird.

[bottlerocket]

I listen to it in peace, I just can't talk about it with anyone in peace. I don't even use the term emo actually anymore, I just say hardcore if they don't know what's up.

Yeah, that's what I meant. My bad.

I usually say "hardcore," too, when people ask what I listen to.

[whiteminority]

I know I'm just giving you a hard time Gav. =D

[AIRIC]

I had the emotional hardcore discussion wiht my mom and sister and needless to say it had no effect :upset:

[whiteminority]

My parents don't care, my mom just calls it punk. I'm fine with that.

[cobert]

I dont know if my mom knows anything about the music I like, she has a general idea I think, but really doesnt know anything past its people screaming.

[Concubine]

Many people are so close-minded that it's impossible to get through their thick skulls when it comes to music genres

[AIRIC]

Yeah my mom just knows the it's mostly vocals that you can't make out. The whole discussion came from some question like "Eric do you know that emo band Fall Out Boy"

[bottlerocket]

I know I'm just giving you a hard time Gav. =D

I thought we were bros.

</3

My parents call it "that screaming stuff," "punk rock," "hardcore," and, my personal favorite, "your god damned rock and roll music."

No, I'm not making the last one up.

[Concubine]

"Eric do you know that emo band Fall Out Boy"

:lol:

So true

[cobert]

My sisters boyfriends brother, who is 23 and I play RISK with alot, decided to talk about emo being anything with cliched lyrics, and I started out nice by asking him if he knew anything about punk or hardcore, and he trie to play it off like I didnt know what I was talkin about because I was 17, saying 'Right now you think your musical tastes are holier-than-thou, youll recognize in a few years that it was never that good'.

Coming from a guy that like Sufjan Stevens.

:-\

I was listening to talk radio one day and I heard some guy saying his oh-so biased opinion on anyone below the age of 21, and he said some kid was 'emo' and that it meant overly emotional.

[bottlerocket]

Cob, next time, knock him out, shove a Risk game piece down his throat so he chokes, and poop on his chest.

That'll show him you're mature.

[whiteminority]

I thought we were bros.

</3

My parents call it "that screaming stuff," "punk rock," "hardcore," and, my personal favorite, "your god damned rock and roll music."

No, I'm not making the last one up.

I was hanging out with my dad and he started making fun of "those damn emo bands that whine all the time about how they are such nerds". Made me smile and say "Damn right".

Whoa whoa now, let's not knock people who like Sufjan. Illinoise is sweet.

[cobert]

Yeah, but still, accusing me of having a holier-than-thou attitude and listening to pretentious music...

[cobert]

Cob, next time, knock him out, shove a Risk game piece down his throat so he chokes, and poop on his chest.

That'll show him you're mature.

Ha.

Hes pretty immature himself, he always argues with his brother over stupid stuff. They both sound like theyre 6, its awkward for everyone else playing.

[whiteminority]

Screw that get him to buy you booze.

[bottlerocket]

Don't drink.

Drinking = bad

O_O

[whiteminority]

This coming from the man who introduced me to my favorite beer.

/rolls eyes

[bottlerocket]

SAM ADAMS RULES.

I love it.

[cobert]

Ive never tasted alcohol.

Actually, the guy Im talking abouts brother, my sisters boyfriend (but kind of not really for the last 6 months, its weird), he keeps trying to trick me into drinking by either saying 'just taste it once so you know its nasty and you wont want it again' or 'hey, do you want the rest of my coke?' like theres nothing else in it.

[whiteminority]

PUSSAY

[bottlerocket]

You don't drink, cob?

Do you have the straight edge?

[whiteminority]

God damn it I knew that quote was coming.

[cobert]

No drinking whatsoever.

Ha, no, but my sister keeps telling me she knows a guy to be my 'straight-edge mentor' that likes the same music as me.

[whiteminority]

Why don't you drink? I drink to keep alive the generations old tradtion of Kuhnle alcoholics.

[bottlerocket]

God damn it I knew that quote was coming.

It's only right.

No drinking whatsoever.

Ha, no, but my sister keeps telling me she knows a guy to be my 'straight-edge mentor' that likes the same music as me.

Haha, that's cool.

Why don't you drink? I drink to keep alive the generations old tradtion of Kuhnle alcoholics.

I drink to stay warm and to kill selected memories, 'cuz I just can't think anymore about that or about her tonight.

[cobert]

I dont know, its just something that I never started doing and dont really want to. I get made fun of a lot for it, but It doesnt bother me. But at the same time I feel like that guy at a party that is killing everyones fun because hes not drunk, and for this reason I dont get invited to any parties, even though I kind of feel like theres other reason unrelated to drinking or drugs, but thats definitely one of them.

[Concubine]

I had some vodka on New Year's Eve. It was awful.

But yeah, normally i dont drink

[bottlerocket]

Dude, screw people that make fun of you.

I don't give a **** if people don't drink. More alcohol for me.

On NYE, I had beer, vodka, rum, tequila, and Jager.

Last night, I had half a handle of vodka to myself.

[whiteminority]

I love drinking. I don't hate on people who don't drink though.

[bottlerocket]

I don't LOVE drinking. It's fun, though.

I like to smoke more than drink.

[whiteminority]

How's your liver handling being a potato?

[whiteminority]

I don't LOVE drinking. It's fun, though.

I like to smoke more than drink.

Oh I love to drink. LOVE.

[Concubine]

It feels weird when you're at a party and everyone is drinking and you're not.

[bottlerocket]

How's your liver handling being a potato?

I can get another one.

Oh I love to drink. LOVE.

Heh, it's pretty fun.

I'm gonna go grab a beer, actually.

[bleep_bloop]

Yeah, that's what I meant. My bad.

I usually say "hardcore," too, when people ask what I listen to.


i just tell people i listen to post-hardcore

edit: whoops i was three pages behind and didnt realize it.

[Concubine]

i just tell people i listen to post-hardcore

so you listen to Hawthorne Heights?

[whiteminority]

Hahahaha nice.

Man I hate the fact that I'm not 18, the guy who bought me my pack of cigs today is obviously dyslexic because I asked for a pack of Marlboro 27s and he brings me a pack of Marlboro Light 72s the little midget smokes! So not only do I have to smoke lights as opposed to the amazing harshness of 27s I have to smoke like 2 to even get my fix since they're so small.

/vents

[bottlerocket]

Bummer, man.

I'm a homo and smoke Parliaments but I can handle any cig anyone gives me.

[whiteminority]

Hahahaha, you're not gay, you're black.

[bleep_bloop]

I dont know, its just something that I never started doing and dont really want to. I get made fun of a lot for it, but It doesnt bother me. But at the same time I feel like that guy at a party that is killing everyones fun because hes not drunk, and for this reason I dont get invited to any parties, even though I kind of feel like theres other reason unrelated to drinking or drugs, but thats definitely one of them.

haha me too. i used to be straight edge so now i dont get invited to any parties because people think im still straight edge.

[bottlerocket]

P-FUNKS.

If you're white and smoke P-Funk Lights (like I do), it means you're an artsy fartsy homo who enjoys discussing art.

I do enjoy discussing art. :(

Hahahaha, I remember that time you told me you had to jet because you and a friend were going to Barnes and Noble to buy books then head to Starbucks to drink coffee and discuss politics. All the while you realized how utterly hip it was.

[Flagjacket]

haha me too. i used to be straight edge so now i dont get invited to any parties because people think im still straight edge.

I'm straight edge but the people I hang out with are dealers so I always end up at random parties.

[bottlerocket]

Hahahaha, I remember that time you told me you had to jet because you and a friend were going to Barnes and Noble to buy books then head to Starbucks to drink coffee and discuss politics. All the while you realized how utterly hip it was.

It's usually Dunkin' Donuts because I'm poor but Starbucks is nice every now and then.

I LIKE ART, LITERATURE, AND POLITICS. I AM A HOMO. DIE.

:upset:

I love reading books. Honestly, there's nothing like reading a good book for the first time.

i need someone to show me how to virus people through myspace please

[AIRIC]

Does anyone here have a huge problem with Keystone like myself

[whiteminority]

Never had it.

[AIRIC]

Seriously? It seems to be the high school beer of choice around here.

[whiteminority]

We drink Miller Light generally but my friends are willing to drop 40+ bucks when we buy beer. Last cheap beer I had was Old Millawaukee.

[AIRIC]

I can't stand Miller Light. We usually get Keystone or BEAST. Got BEAST last night but my bros flipped out and complained so I think we're gonna be going with Keystone from now on :upset:

[Matt?]

i heard some song that i think was the new nas single on the radio today because it was rippin on jay z and talking about being king of new york

but i'm not really sure cause it f'uckin ripped on everyone. it was an experience in dissing

[AIRIC]

That's weird because as far as I know the Nas/Jay-Z fued is over.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Miller Light is good. The worst beer I've ever had is New Castle. S'hit tasted like cough medicine.

[bottlerocket]

Beer of choice around here = Natural Ice Light

That's right.

[Matt?]

it wasn't nas because i just heard his new single just now for some reason that was the only line i remembered and thought it might of had to do with that but it wasn't. guy basically just trashed on every single thing in hip hop. or poked fun at. song wasn't actually good but it was pretty funny.

i'm curious as to who it was now

at one point it sampled "BAWWWWWWLIN" and i just loled when i heard it

[AIRIC]

Beer of choice around here = Natural Ice Light

That's right.

Natural Ice meaning Natty Ice the beer they make fun of in that video?

[Matt?]

oh s'hit i found it. some nigga named skillz

www.myspace.com/yourghostwriter

wtf was i thinking this sounds nothing like nas

[bottlerocket]

Natural Ice meaning Natty Ice the beer they make fun of in that video?

Damn straight.

Natty 'til death.

[Flagjacket]

Everyone is into different **** aorund here, mostly I see lots of Busch's and something in a gold can a lot.

[The Great Decay]

Haha.. American beer.

[Flagjacket]

Natural Ice meaning Natty Ice the beer they make fun of in that video?
Are you talking about Bro Rape?

[AIRIC]

Yes Bro Rape.

Does Bro Rape talk about playing Gamecube with no pants on and listening to Jack Johnson with "the bros"

[Flagjacket]

Hahha yeah, with the butt rape thing where he gets a runnign start.

[Matt?]

i just heard some songs off of notes by adibaw and contrary to popular oppinion i think they're pretty awesome besides the terrible singing

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

it wasn't nas because i just heard his new single just now for some reason that was the only line i remembered and thought it might of had to do with that but it wasn't. guy basically just trashed on every single thing in hip hop. or poked fun at. song wasn't actually good but it was pretty funny.

Wack Rappers by Afro Man?

It was probably the 2006 Rap Up by Skillz.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

F'uck beer, its all about the coffee mug full of Bacardi :)

[Matt?]

i already acknowledged it was the rap up.

i'm going to bed it's late.

lata dudes

[Luxor]

Haha.. American beer.

**** it.

[bleep_bloop]

all of my friends buy shitty beer. it makes me mad.

[whiteminority]

Haha.. American beer.

Sam Adams is amazing dude, step off. Canadian beer isn't much better than the pissy mass produced American beer.

[pixiesfanyo]

Beer I drink the most is either Lions Head or PBR.

[bottlerocket]

PBR is where it's at, too.

If you want to drink a real beer, go to Europe.

[whiteminority]

Not all of us can afford to go to Europe just to drink beer Gav.

[bottlerocket]

I can't, either.

This is all hearsay.

Everyone says European bear is infinitely better than American beer. I believe it but, for now, American beer does the trick just fine.

[whiteminority]

I don't know I've never encountered any European bears. I know russian ones wear tutus and ride unicycles though.

[bottlerocket]

HAHAHA.

I wish I could ride a unicycle, just for shits and giggles.

I'm debating whether or not to go eat my Famous Bowl from KFC. I was high last night and bought 2 and decided to only eat one. The other one is in the fridge.

Decisions, decisions...

[whiteminority]

Hahaha, I was watching Last Laugh '06 and they railed on the Famous Bowls saying "You know you can get those items separately and eat them like an actual adult."

[bottlerocket]

HAHAHAHAHA.

Nice. So true.

They're so good, though. When you're stoned, it's like, you want to dig in all at once so it's perfect.

[Luxor]

I don't know I've never encountered any European bears. I know russian ones wear tutus and ride unicycles though.

hahahahahahagkrgnoawgnjawers

[whiteminority]

I mean Gav they should have the marketing of KFC aimed at stoned teenagers, maybe adopt the open late thing Taco Bell has going for it and boom they will be ****ing millionaires, because there isn't a single pot smoking teenager I know that doesn't want some fried chicken.

[cobert]

Hahaha, I was watching Last Laugh '06 and they railed on the Famous Bowls saying "You know you can get those items separately and eat them like an actual adult."

Ha, yeah, that guy said the same thing on Conan O'brien.

[The Great Decay]

Sam Adams is amazing dude, step off. Canadian beer isn't much better than the pissy mass produced American beer.

I was just joking man, and nice avatar. I've been digging orchid a lot lately, but all I've got is chaos is me/dance tonight!

[RetiredAt21]

Chaos Is Me is their best.

[whiteminority]

Depending on what type of sound you are going for Orchid is a bit of a mixed bag. You have their really early stuff where they were a much more emotional vox style not really hitting the screamo sound yet, then you have the pure chaos that they made popular Chaos Is Me being the pinnacle of that, and then finally on Gatefold they did their best stuff in my opinion keeping the sound but altering the vocals into a much more pissed and analytic hardcore.

[mehmet]

I got two questions.

1) Is Armor for Sleep emo?

And

2) Does anybody know any bands that sound like AfS?

[A_Perfect_Sonnet]

Armor For Sleep is a generic alt-rockish band.

You probably already listen to a lot of bands that sound like them.

[Concubine]

lol

[mehmet]

Armor For Sleep is a generic alt-rockish band.

I don't mean lyrical wise. His voice is so damn good. /gay

[Flagjacket]

I don't mean lyrical wise. His voice is so damn good. /gay

He just said you already probably listen to a bunch of bands that sound like them because no one here listens to Armor For Sleep.

No Armor For Sleep is not emo, I'm going to guess bands that look like Copeland/The Junior Varsity or sometihng like that sound like them though.

Deja was tight.

The Junior Varsity are awesome.

[bottlerocket]

srt, about Brand New's newest:

If you liked the jump they made from YFW to Deja, then yeah, you'll like it. They moved in the same direction again. It's really deep and not-so-straightforward. I think it's an awesome album.

ROFL AT THE UNITED STATES IN SOMALIA

[AIRIC]

Haha yeah I know. When my global perspectives teacher brought up the BBC site this mornign to read us that story I just sighed.

[srt-4]

srt, about Brand New's newest:

If you liked the jump they made from YFW to Deja, then yeah, you'll like it. They moved in the same direction again. It's really deep and not-so-straightforward. I think it's an awesome album.

If you want it, IM me.
ya, i never could get into your favorite weapon, but i dig deja entendu. thanks.
6'5" 250
seriously?
ROFL AT THE UNITED STATES IN SOMALIA
I just sighed.
why?

[AIRIC]

Because just because there's alleged terrorists in an area doesn't mean we should bomb it.

[srt-4]

i understand what you're saying, and its sad when innocent people die. but you make it sound like we’re dropping 2,000 lb bombs in downtown mogadishu. we’re carrying out strikes by ac-130s in remote, nearly inaccessible areas of the country. i haven't read of any bombs being used. we have had forces in the area for some time collecting intelligence and identifying targets, as well as receiving intelligence from the somalis. we aren't picking targets at random.

the somali government is in favor of the strikes. it wants us over there helping. this is the best shot at a positive future that country has had in a long time, and we're supporting it, while at the same time dealing a blow to our enemies. we probably have now killed the guy responsible for planning the embassy bombings. in general, this is good for the US, our allies, and the somali people. its regrettable when innocents are harmed in our strikes, but these actions are necessary, and we do everything we can to minimize those occurrences.

[cobert]

One of the people in the upper levels of the Taliban, Im pretty sure its Osamas new right hand man, issued for muslims in the area to attack ehtiopian troops.

Juss sayin'

[srt-4]

you mean al qaeda? of course they did. the ethiopians are providing the muscle for the somali government to push out the islamists, in a sort of proxy war with eritrea. ethiopia is majority christian, and has received training from US forces, sf i believe.

[Flagjacket]

I recall something about the US bombing a medicine factory in Africa once because they thought it was an anthrax plant, but then again I saw that in Bowling For Columbine, so.....

[AIRIC]

Obviously I don't know much about the conflict here and I kind of regret opening my mouth sometimes on issues like these because I'm really not properly informed on it.

srt-4 do you know anything about Israel's nuclear bunker buster type thing? I read they're going to be bombing Iran with bombs like this to destroy their nuclear program?

[Flagjacket]

Wouldn't that just set off nuclear warheads underground?

[AIRIC]

http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Sunday_Times_says_Israel_is_planning_nuclear_strik e_against_Iran

Obviously take Wikinews and all the sources provided with a grain of salt.

[srt-4]

no, it wouldn't, and they don't even have bombs yet.

the strike would be to destroy the program before they got nuclear weapons. it isn't that israel has a special weapon. the use of tactical nukes has been planned and theorized for some time. i really don't know any operations details other than what i read in the news. was that all you were asking, or were you asking for my opinion on a possible strike?

[AIRIC]

Sure give your opinion. I was just curious if you knew enough about it to elaborate.

[cobert]

you mean al qaeda? of course they did. the ethiopians are providing the muscle for the somali government to push out the islamists, in a sort of proxy war with eritrea. ethiopia is majority christian, and has received training from US forces, sf i believe.

Yesssss, my mistake.

Isnt almost every war technically a proxy war though?

Never trust Wikinews and/or Michael Moore.

[srt-4]

well, i don't know much about it at a tactical level. but at a strategic level, i don't believe at all that this is an idle threat. the threat itself is useful, which is why it was leaked, but my belief is that they will certainly back it up.

what they are saying is if the un fails to act (which it will because russia and china will block any meaningful action), and the US fails to act on its own, then they will be forced to take this action. and they will indeed have to. the president of iran has stated his desire to "wipe israel of the map." if you say that and are developing nuclear weapons, israel really has no choice but to act. history has taught israelis that they have to act first in order to ensure their survival.

the big mistake iran is making here is threatening a nuclear power with nuclear annihilation before it has nuclear weapons itself. huge miscalculation.

in reality this is probably the best option. iran can't get nuclear weapons. it would be disastrous. this will probably end up being necessary. however, it won't be good. shi't will definitely hit the fan over there. i can't even begin to predict what all would happen, we would have to see what the situation was at the time. but there will probably be a big surge in power by the islamists that will destabilize the region to a much greater extent. hezbollah will probably renew hostilities with israel (which would destabilize lebanon even more), which will probably lead to hamas doing to same in an attempt to capitalize on the situation rather than out of solidarity with iran.

if iran tries to destabilize the world oil markets as a response, which it probably will, saudi arabia will probably step in to a large extent to minimize that. if iran tries to close the straits of hormuz, like they have threatened, then that will lead to a military conflict with the US.

so it would be very bad, but all the likely scenarios at this point are very bad, and this is probably the best of those.

edit: i'm not sure if i was clear on why i think it would be the best. it would be better than iran getting the bomb for obvious reasons. and it would be better than the US directly attacking because even though we will still have to deal with a lot of negative consequences if israel attacks due to the relationship we have with israel, those consequences won't be as great as they would be if we acted ourselves. we can distance ourselves and condemn the attack, blah, blah, which will help minimize the impact a little. if we acted, we would nearly loose all ability to work with the arabs in the region outside of the gulf states. iraq would be impossible. a solution to the problems with syria would also be impossible.

[srt-4]

Isnt almost every war technically a proxy war though?
no. many low intensity conflicts throughout the cold war and post-cold war era have been/are though.

[RetiredAt21]

Because just because there's alleged terrorists in an area doesn't mean we should bomb it.

But it's the war on terrorism. SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT.

jk :)

[Flagjacket]

But it's the war on terrorism. SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT.

I think that the whole thing has produced some positive results, like the toppling of a totalitarian theocracy.

[pixiesfanyo]

I think arguing about politics on the internet is gayer than going down on your father's dick after he pulled it out of your mother's asshole.

Just sayin'

[Flagjacket]

Me too?

[cobert]

no. many low intensity conflicts throughout the cold war and post-cold war era have been/are though.

But it honestly seems like every war is a fight between 2 dogs with superpowers betting on who wins. Its all just one big mesh of violence.

Ethiopia isn't a majority Christian really anymore, they obviously have a very long tradition of Christianity but since about the middle to late middle of the 20th century there has been a drastic upswing in Islam which is why there is so much violence over there.

seriously?

What's your guys' opinion on the intended 20,000 troop increase to Iraq?
oh, for some reason i thought that Christians were a slim majority. i guess i was mistaken, which isn't hard for me to believe. although i have a decent familiarity with the horn region, sub-saharan africa in general really isn't my strong point. at any rate, i believe Christians dominate the government (i'm not trying to impose homogeneity though). so if they aren't the majority, i guess Christian-led would be the accurate description, unless i'm mistaken again.

[srt-4]

oh, and as far as the troop increase question, i think it will be helpful as part of a larger strategy, not on its own. and he did laid out a larger strategy. overall, i thought the speech was good. it was frank, honest, and pretty much spot on. the only things i remember not liking were the grouping of syria and iran together (i think syria can be dealt with and should be regarded separate from iran) and his calling this the ideological conflict of our time with freedom being our side. we need to accept that some of our most valuable allies in the region are not "free societies" and likely would not be able to function as such. we should stop pushing for that. it would be very detrimental if they were to become "free."

i thought the plan was good, but it depends on the iraqi government. if they really carry out what they have committed to: provincial elections, end of debathification, and a crackdown on the shia militias, it could really lead to victory. also, the imbedding of US units with iraqi units is absolutely necessary, and as far as i'm concerned the best action that we could take. it was great to hear him say that’s going to happen.

it was also interesting to hear him mention the patriot missile defenses. since we have long worked with israel on such defenses, i'm thinking that was referencing the saudis. i guess we took notice when talk of them pursuing their own nuclear program came out. and his mention of turkey seems to indicate he will address the issues with the pkk, which would help gain more support from turkey.

and i thought he made a great point when he said something like people suggesting courses of action should explain how the path they propose would be more likely to succeed. many of the "plans" of late that I read are just giving up.

also, he showed understanding of the type of war we are engaged in and urged forbearance against the enemy’s tactics without turning it into a dry lecture on 4gw. like when he mentioned television images. suicide bombings and ied attacks are militarily useless, their value is in their ability to erode political support through being reported by the media.

i was also impressed to hear him talk so specifically about anbar, and lay out a good plan for it. it essentially contained the strategy laid out in this presentation, which has been getting a lot of attention lately:

I think the troop increase is a good idea, we need more people there to keep it under control.

ppk = ? I didn't know we had much of a problem with the Turks.

[RCVA]

I doubt America has much of a problem with Turkey because Turkey is a largely secular state, so the religion doesn't have much influence in government and they're largely a good democratic state other than that they hate greeks.

About it being allowed into the EU is quite controversial because then suicide bombers and terrorists with turkish passports would be able to travel much more freely in Europe.

I think whatever George Bush decided to do was going to be criticized because the situation there isn't very good and it's gonna be tough to change. The main problem is that the Sunni's hate the Shi'ites who are now in power after Sunnis were mainly in power during Saddam's regime.

[bottlerocket]

Turkey is key. It's the only state that's an Islamic democracy that did it itself.

...yet the US doesn't pay nearly enough attention to Turkey.

[srt-4]

ppk = ? I didn't know we had much of a problem with the Turks.
its a kurdish group that wants independence for the kurdish area of turkey and carries out terrorist attacks in attempts to further that goal. lately it has been operating out of iraqi kurdistan. turkey has increased its troops on the border and shelled ppk camps in iraq, but its mostly for appearances. turkey wants us to help them put an end to the situation. and we've been helping through non-military means, but its obvious more needs to be done. however, thats the only area in all of iraq that is stable, and we don't want to turn it into another battleground. the iraqi kurds supposedly don't want the ppk there either, but they are sympathic to their cause enough that they don't want to force the ppk out themselves or see them destroyed. so everybody just kind of wants the problem to go away, but doesn't really want to do anything about it.

and i think we pay plenty of attention to turkey. they've been in nato for more than 50 years.
