in reply to Friendly home node

Hi Juerd,

although I don't like Alex the Serb's homenode either and think that the monastir is not a good place for politics, I absolutely disagree what you are trying to do.

He isn't committing a crime with expressing his opinion. It is just a shame that he didn't explain in a better way why he is posting this picture on his nomenode, and why he doesn't like the Nato.

Do you think the following cuts of postings are ok?

Perhaps - if you remember - only some years ago, the Nato was leading war against his country. And whoever was right, war in my eyes always is a very, very bad thing...

Alex, I'd really appreciate if you wrote some lines about your reasons.

Best regards,
perl -le "s==*F=e=>y~\*martinF~stronat~=>s~[^\w]~~g=>chop,print"

CAN we stick to Perl? Re: Friendly home node

    only some years ago, the Nato was leading war against his country.
    And at the same time, his country troops were creating eight hundred thousand refugees and killing seven thousands ethnic Albanians. (see related data) .

    He is not the only one with a grudge, (or I could also mention Bosnia) but this is not the right place to nurse it.

    Could we stick to Perl and tell him to either do the same or find a better place for his questionable political claims?

    Now if you think that this node should be reaped, so is the one I was answering. Either we ignore politics, or we give anyone equal opportunities.

      Dear Anonymous Monk,

      you seem to have an account at perlmonks; why do you post as anonymous?

      I don't know if Alex is responsible for the war that started as civil war until Nato thought it had to take party against the Serbs. I don't know enough about the reasons why this civil war started, so I can't tell you who was right. And if I think about the question if there exists a right position in any war, I come to the conclusion: certainly not. (but following this issue becomes too philosophic and too much for my bad english).

      If you want to blame him for the former politics of the country he lives in ("And at the same time, his country troops were creating eight hundred thousand refugees and killing seven thousands ethnic Albanians".) I could as well blame every German and Austrian for Hitler, every Russian for Stalin (who killed about 30 Mio people AFAIK), every American for the Slavery of Millions of Africans and the killing lots of Native Americans or how they are(were?) coping some Afghan prisoners in Cuba, every Britain for the dirty deeds in South Africa, every Israeli for torture being legal for prisoners until about summer two years ago (just to mention some examples). In war, the greatest loser always is the population living in the region of war. And who truely is right in a war normaly is in the viewer's point of view.

      But I agree to you to better sticking to perl and asking him to do the same.

      Comment on changement: thanks to danichka for giving me the words: "Native Americans"

      Those ethnic Albanians had been creating refugees for some time before the troops interfered. And created quite a few more after the troops were forced to move out. Quite a few.

      I wonder how are americans going to act when there's enough ethnic mexicans in the southern states to start forcing the remains of white(r) folk out and requesting autonomy. Though I doubt anyone is going to bomb New York then.
