    Great video??? Respect???

    I think it shows a lot of very careless driving. Ramming people to get them to move out of the way? ?

    I dunno... they almost ran over a kid there.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    Youre exactly right. I have a couple friends that drive hummers over there and theres been more than one instance where theyve had to run over people, not all adults.

    Theyve had numerous attacks that way, so they are not to stop for anything now

    Ok maybe not the best words to use to describe it,but it does show some of the realities that the US troops have to deal with in Iraq.Im sure the last thing they would want to happen is someone getting run over but...

    I'm not picking on you with this post. You could hear them blowing the horn the whole time, and no one was getting out of the way. At the end you could tell that they were stressed about something, not just playing around. ;)

    Wow, that's some insane driving. Wait, don't I drive like that?? :D:D

    My first thought is...what an idiot...he kept it in first waaay too long....especially for a diesel...

    But it would be pretty cool to be able to run around ramming into everybody's $800 car with your big ol' hummer.

    They know they need to get out of the way. Obviously you just saw a very small consequence when they don't, If there wasn't so many civilians around there would be small arms fire to get them out of the way!

    nadams-

    Ditto what exalted512 said... If they don't get out of the way, you are putting your life at a serious risk! The percentage of VBIED's(Vehicle Born Improvised Explosive Device) in Iraq are HUGE! I know I'm going home alive, not playing around...

    They hate Americans of course!:rolleyes:

    Really, there are very mixed opinions over there and it mostly falls on their religion.

    BTW, They(Iraqi's) believe for every American they kill that they go to heaven with something like 70 virgin's!:eek:

    They are very screwed up in the head in they way they think...

    Perspective is freakin' everything. We have no idea what or why, besides, they seemed to move the eff over the second they got a glimpse of the Humvee. You have no idea if it's medical, or what it is.

    Why continue ignorance by stating generalizations? While some of this is based on truth (If killed in jihad, you get greater praise in heaven) I find the statement that they are screwed up in the head derogatory and offensive.

    YES, terrorists and extremeists are bad news but many of the people in Iraq and surrounding region also feel that way. Christians have theirs to; we have many who kill and destroy in the name of the Christian religion: those that destroy abortion clinics and kill the patrons to try and "prove a point" then we have David Koresh, Eric Rudolph, the KKK, and people like Fred Phelps and psychos like Orel Roberts.

    This is not a personal attack, it just saddens me when racial slurs get thrown around and quips like "kill them all and let God sort them out" are stated by "Christian" people who have no care to research and find the truth about these people when they can't realize that if America was bombed and "sorted" there wouldn't be many people not getting their asses singed.

    Sorry for the rantiness of this post, I guess I need to get out of the south :rolleyes:

    Yeah, damn all of that Christian insurgency in Iraq, and Christian terrorism around the world. ;)

    I see the point you were trying to make, but you can't really compare Islamic fundamentalism (the key) to any other religion, no matter how wacky you may view it's customs or beliefs.

    Thanks for posting what I am to tired to word properly. The whacked out Christians are so few, but get so much publicity(like those nuts protesting at funerals). The best source of reality to what is really going on over there would be soldiers that where there. Crazy sells lots more than good when it comes to the news.

    That "killed in jihad" is a Muslem thing, good ones, bad ones, indifferent ones they all believe in jihad.

    These are NOT Christians and they do not KILL FOR CHRIST!!! That is the same as you saying, "who kill and destroy in the name of the Christian religion" . . . they are people who have distorted what the Bible, mainly the New Testament has to say. . . we Christians DO NOT believe in Holy war like the Muslems do. . .nor do we (and I am including you by your own admission) believe in killing anyone in abortion clinics to try to prove a point. You claim to be a Christian but you say the Christian "religion"???? Christianity is NOT a religion. Catholism, Protestantism, Greak Orthodox, etc, etc are religions, Christianity is NOT!!!

    If it is not a personal attack and you are so put off by this "racial slur" then why are you assuming, "are stated by "Christian" people who have no care to research and find the truth about these people," ---How do you know this is stated by "Christian" people????

    You seem to be guilty of this by your own statements. You can start by finding out what a religion is!!! Christianity is a spiritual way of life, not a religion.

    It saddens me when someone who knows NOTHING about religion makes general statements like you have and go after people who still feel the sting of what Muslims did on 911 and what Muslims are still doing or rather killing, each other, themselves, us, Westerners and anyone else who do not believe as they do.

    BTW, arabs drive like morons to begin with and if they had the armoured hummer, they'd drive the exact same way even though they aren't in danger.

    BTW: Anyone know the religion/background of the kid in the SLC shopping mall? ;)
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    I wondered what was crossing the front crew's mind while driving through that mess. Run up homicide bombers? F'that, forward march.

    Cool how most of the traffic knew the right thing to do (respect) such as for emergency service vehicles, and just pull over. Some were in their own world listening to ipods. :rolleyes:
