Obviously, we know whose brain the kid inherited: the smart, lack of common sense one =PHis father, Redha Hassan, a doctor, said his son is an idealist, principled and moral. His mother, however, sees things differently.'I don't think I will ever leave him in the house alone again," she said. "He showed a lack of judgment."
Man... how can a guy be so stupid? This guy seems to give a massive amount of credence to the line of argument that alot of people acknowledge abroad that people in America live in a world of their own. Immersive journalism my ass...
lol it seems he gets his naive viewpoint of the world from the classroom afterall.The teen, who says he has no religious affiliation, added that he even spent an entire night until 6 a.m. talking politics with a group of Muslim men, a level of "immersion" his teacher characterized as dangerous and irresponsible.
That dude is one hard ass, anyone who bitches about him in this thread are pussies because they didn't have the balls to do it!!

Goddam crazy Floridans! If I were him at this point i would just make a list of crazy shit to do because my life would be over once I get back home to my parents.
with what he did, he's lucky to even have his ball on his way home.Originally posted by: The Heretic Azazel

The only thing this kid did wrong was use his parents money without telling them and causing alot of people unneccessary worry and trouble. Otherwise I fully support his idea. The way he carried out his plan was stupid, that's a given. But the motivation behind it can't be argued with. There's nothing wrong with wanting to learn about the world, its actually a very commendable undertaking. However, he really was either naive/stupid in some of the ways he acted.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
I'll admit that he got balls but damn he is one crazy idiot.
All of you except for The Heretic Azazel are shitfucks and retarded. It's sad that morons and eunuchs like you all get to live and leech the resources of this dying planet to perpetuate your stupidity and embarrassing lack of testicular fortitude to learn the truth. I wish that I could send all of you to the terrorists in Iraq to get beheaded as an agreement of a peace treaty.
What this kid Farris Hassan did is something that none of you cunts will ever comprehend because the electrical cross-connects in your brain just won't allow it. When he writes about what he learned during his vacation, he'll have more credibility than any reporter on CNN or Fox News because he'll actually know what the fuck he's talking about. When was the last time Bill O'Reilly or Anderson Cooper went on an "adventure" to Baghdad without any military protection and were able to blend in and report the truth without the government's veil over it? Unlike a news "correspondent" of caucasian descent who would immediately get blown up by a suicide bomber, Hassan is able to maintain a measure of invisibility and objectivity because not only does he have Arab features but he is born and raised in the US of A. He had a fucking debate on politics with Muslim men and came out with all of his limbs. He just owned the AP, Reuters, and every other press organization in the world.
It's amazing how the military preaches courage as one of its morals, but no one wants to praise the courage of Hassan. The government and the media would rather manipulate you and make you believe that it's just naive idealism. They don't want to admit their shortcomings and they don't want you to know what's really going on. How is enlisting in the army and fighting a bullshit war just to lose a leg and get nowhere in the end any different from "naive idealism"?Originally posted by: CNN article
The State Department strongly advises U.S. citizens against traveling to Iraq, saying it "remains very dangerous." Forty American citizens have been kidnapped since the war started in March 2003, of which 10 have been killed, a U.S. official said. About 15 remain missing.
Modern military doctrine doesn't encourage risking your life unnecessarily. You have to remember military personnel aren't serving themselves (or their own whims) but a nation and the needs of the nation. It's no use for a nation to train somebody who just gets himself killed for no good reason.Originally posted by: milfhunter

Otherwise I have to agree with PSJ.
well, yeah, sure it's incomprehensible. a 16-year-old american civilian casually walking through a warzone is an act that clearly lacks judgement and common sense-- which i believe most opinions in this thread was referring to =POriginally posted by: milfhunter

well, american stupidity knows no bounds right? if anyone actually praised that kid for a job well done, how many more civilians do you think are just gonna hop on a plane and walk through iraq casually today?It's amazing how the military preaches courage as one of its morals, but no one wants to praise the courage of Hassan.
and that's the other thing: if hassan was a 16-year-old trained soldier (which is impossible), then fine, whatever. praise his courage, i wouldn't care so much to even post this thing on GW.
besides, even tho the kid looked iraqi, it didn't expose him to any less danger. didn't bush admit 30,000 iraqi civilians have died since they (the US =P) took over the country? that's a lot of people, even if bush was trying to play down the numbers. so not only was the kid an idiot, but he's damn lucky to be alive.
he has balls, on the news it said he saw the terror and was going to kiss the ground when he came back

Einstien said, "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity,
and I'm not sure about the former."
And as for the militaty preaching courage, I'll stand up and give him credit(although I'm not entirely sure where you are getting anything about the military from all this). What he did took a lot of what we call "Personal Courage". However, what he did also took a heavy dosing of human stupidity.
What an enlightened, fresh view. Oh, and I love how you don't make generalizations. Seriously, I'm applauding over here.Originally posted by: Honoko

Sure we all get what you mean milfhunter but it's still fucking stupid. To do it just for a high school class is taking an unnecessary risk, i'm sure all of us can agree on that. Taking unnecassary risks isn't couragous it's stupid, if Hassan possessed some kind of judgement he would know that going to Iraq for a high school class is indeed stupid. The same goes for you milfhunter.
Hey Kraco, what the fuck is your point? You have the most pointless post in this whole thread. Congratulations. If military doctrine doesn't condone the unnecessary risk of life, then why is it still there after no weapons of mass destruction have been found, no connection between Saddam Hussein and Usama bin Laden has been established, and the soldiers don't even have armor? Where's the training to protect yourself from suicide bombers and rioters? I didn't know that my 18 year old friend, who naively and idealistically joined the Marines, has been trained as a chemical expert and an electronics engineer to disassemble improvised explosive devices. Oh wait, he hasn't. So, shut the fuck up.Congratulations on having the second most pointless post in this thread. If you read the CNN article, you'll learn that his class assignment was only to pick an international topic and write editorials about it -- basically what your overpaid news reporter at CNN does. Hassan took it upon himself, out of his own volition -- not because it was a class assignment -- to immerse himself in the environment he is writing about. Stop trying to use Kraco's "unnecessary risk" argument because it is doublespeak, just like "necessary risk".Originally posted by: PSJ
Sure we all get what you mean milfhunter but it's still fucking stupid.If he had gotten killed, how is it any different from the thousands of injured and dead soldiers? They're citizens too. Doesn't the media already utilize their deaths to push the right-wing agenda, too? Besides, what terrorist isn't inhumane? A lot of doublespeak going on today.Originally posted by: DB_Hunter
think of what would have happened if he got killed... the very same media would start utilising his death as an attack on the 'common American'

There is always a certain understanding that soldiers in a war zone would be killed... not high school civillians. That's the emotion that would have been played on. As for the discussion on terrorists being inhumane, take a look at the Iraq War thread and join the debate in there... i'm pretty sure that the point of 'someone's terrorist being another man's freedom fighter' is covered in there.
Wow, go ahead and degrade the sacrifice of every soldier's life then.Originally posted by: DB_Hunter

"Oh, 1,000+ American freedom fighters have died? So what? It was, well, in a certain understanding, to be expected. Sucks to be them. Let's just go out and recruit some more."
I guess recruitment is just like reloading ammo, but in this case, ammo is human lives.
"But wait, a high school civilian has died? Oh, hell to the fuck no! That does it. That's crossing the line! That's fucking stupid!"What the fuck is your point? Thanks, you have just given EpyonNext the pleasure of a hard on because he can now reference Einstein's theory of relativity, too. Good job.Originally posted by: DB_Hunter

milfhunter everyone knows what the media says is crap, all we are saying is that what he did was stupid. Infact, think of what would have happened if he got killed... the very same media would start utilising his death as an attack on the 'common American' and how inhumane the killers and how the army will never stop bla bla bla.
If he wants objectivity a good place to start would be to clear your minds of any bias against anyone involved and then analyse the situation... and you can do that if you have arab features + american citizenship or not.
