Glad to oblige, Pravitushka.

DDT! Good gravy. "Simply ignorant of the history"? The more history I read, the less I endorse Israel's current behavior. I'm not about to get into a net-simian poo-slinging match, but such a blanket statement is, in a word, preposterous. Call me crazy, but "democratic" and "civilized" nations shouldn't, generally, bulldoze houses with grannies inside. Among other things.

"I'm not about to get into a net-simian poo-slinging match, but"

Then why did you bother to post?

Jackass, when I sling poo, you'll know it. The post above was as inoffensive as I could make it, considering the number of idiotic components to your statement that I could have torn into. Sadly, my computer time here is limited, meaning I can't sit here typing for the myriad eons it would take to give you some sort of education. And no amount of education would create in you critical thinking skills, so it'd probably be a waste of my time.

Just as I thought, you have nothing to add to the subject ecept your emotion and name calling. I think it is you who should be educated.
You only have to punch the information into a computer once
I'll bet that it is not so with you!

Fine research, sir. Clearly you are highly educated on this matter. Would you care to post sources for your statistics?

I know ! I know!

FOX NEWS HEY GUYS. I just heard the terror alert went through the roof ! AGIAN !

Unfortunately I am not educated at all. School of Hard Knocks only.

Surf around www.jewishworldreview.com and you will find this information and more.

I will have no internet access for a week or so. I will catch up with this thread then.

Has anyone been watching the Russian olympic gymnasts? Someone should start a thread on Pavlova.

Yea, or svertlana who got beat by a 16 year old.


I kinda felt bad for her... because i mean... she has been workin her whole life for the gold but... just couldn't quite make it.
Though, 1337 Carley patterson won gold for the good ol usa, so, i guess it's not all the bad.

Awww Sveta...I was so sad for her! Carly won fairly, but Khorkina is still the queen, she kicks butt! I hope she wins the uneven bars again and leaves the Olys with a gold medal.

And yeah, Anna Pavlova should have been freakin 3rd!

On the Issue with the Jews and Palestinians, the best thing they can do is just stop fighting eachother.
Their is no good reason for their feud, yet they still keep going on.
My respect for democracy is only one step above socialism, but if that's what Israel want, then they can have at it.
As I said before, if I were president, I would step away from that whole mess and let their business be their business.
As for the Olympics, it is both interesting and sad. Interesting for watching only a moment that they have trained their whole lives for where every last thing makes a big difference. Sad because of those who painfully walk away short or empty handed do to a very slight glitch or accident, often triggered by random events. I saw one guy so beat up over an outright collapse that the judge had to pressure him to finish what he was doing.
It's hard to see that, and with the equality of skills between the different athletes, most are number 1 in my book, with who gets what medals as nothing more then a role of the dice.

Sorry, DDT, the "school of hard knocks" doesn't count as a source of statistical data. And making up statistics based on your own (non-)experience only makes you look like a dip.

Well Lindsay. You seem to be missing the point. You clench your fist and the truth slips out between your fingers. Go check the numbers for yourself. What if they're right?

Heh. "Go check the numbers for yourself!" The timeless cry of the pseudo-intellectual without any actual resources. Thank you, I have perused the issue in some depth, and your inane vagaries and rumblings hold little interest for me. Other than giving me a chance to exercise my mockery muscles, of course.

I am glad to hear that you have "persued the issue to some depth" already. This means that you must understand that Israel has been the only legitimate country on the soil called Palestine for several thousand years. Israel was renamed Palestine by the Romans as an insult to them, as the Philistines (Palestinians) had been their ancient enemy.

The BalflourDeclaration in 1917 was intended to form the nation of Israel, once more. It origially included the whole of Trans Jordan as part of Israel and would have been so, if not for a few back stabbing English polititions. By the time 1948 came along, Israel had been so sliced up (west bank, gaza) there was not much left. Israel was attacked again in 1967 by overwhealming forces, including those in the West Bank. Under the terms of war when an attacking agressive country lose the war they started (Palestinians) they can also lose their territory.

So since you already know all this, why is it that say that you do not support Israel. Please do not say it is because of an old lady bulldozed in her house.

Wait a couple of centuries and the USA too will collapse, like the Roman, Spanish and British Empires before it.
.

I totally agree. I believe the American Empire will one day collapse, just like the Roman, Spanish, British and Soviet Empires. The USA may be taking advantage of our powers as the world's major superpower, but then again, isn't it our right, as the worlds major superpower, to want people everywhere to live like we do?

Let's reverse the roles for a minute. Let's say it was the United States that collapsed, and the Soviet Union "won" the Cold War. Then, today the Soviet Union would be the world's dominate superpower, wouldn't the Soviet Union try to impose their beliefs, way of life, and their rule upon the rest of the world? Wouldn't the Soviet Union want everybody to live like they do?

oh really?
