[clue] [Politics] What is a troll ? What is trolling ?

Wed Nov 30 13:39:18 MST 2011

#1   It is okay to kill people in other countries without a trial.
Depends on their legal system and if their government allows it.
#2   "Bad" people or foreigners do not deserve the protection of the US
legal system.
They don't, a foreigner who isn't a US Citizen doesn't deserve the the
right to be tried at all. I'm from Denmark,  and I have my US Citizenship.
If I was caught doing anything illegal while I was getting it I would have
willingly be sent back.
#3   If the russians build a wall it is bad...   If the US builds a wall,
it is okay.
The Russians have the right to build a wall, I support it in fact. I don't
support the communists wall, but I support the current efforts to
keep Chechnyans out of the country. I have several ties with Rus' national
parties.
#4   US soldiers are heroes  .... fighters in other countries are
terrorists.
US soldiers shouldn't be in the wars we are in right now, it's the middle
easts choice on how they deal with it, not ours. I only support the killing
of Bin Laden, but that was only if allowed by the government of the country.
#5   War is a glorious enterprise.
It is, there is a reason why War helped the USA out of the great depression.
