You don't even know what the word frivolous means. You were mocking, not joking, mocking. There is a difference, which is lost on you. Your words bear stark testimony to your true feelings. I'm not your buddy, I am human being , I don't know what species you are. Go back to the primordial swamp were you came from. You belong with the rest of your bigoted ilk. Guilt? You need to have a conscience to have guilt, something that you sorely lack. As long as we continue to enjoy the fruit of the poisonous tree, namely the stolen land that we live on, we still owe a debt that can never be repaid.

There is nothing funny about the plight of Aboriginal people. Haven't they suffered enough without having ignorant folk poking fun at them ?
You know better.

Well, the gov't allowed the State of FL to starve Terri Schiavo to death, even posting a policeman by her bed to ensure nothing be given to her by mouth to sustain her life. They said she felt no pain, despite her moans, oh and the fact that they gave her iv painkillers too.

I think it's clear by now that it is impossible to have a reasoned discussion of these issues - without there being prejudice and derision. I'm surprised the moderators tolerate these topics really.

I love Sharia's free pie Wednesday.

I guess small pox laden blankets were't enough .

And yet if I had a dollar for every time you were judgmental and/or insulting of Christianity or the Catholic Church in particular, oh never mind!

Allow me....For you, John.

If Iranian warships cross Israel's blockade line, Iran may as well declare war and be done with it.
This is not a peaceful move and is intended solely to heighten tensions. As Iran is widely held to be the major supplier of arms to Hamas, I doubt the Israelis will allow this flotilla to reach Gaza.
This is not what the region needs, when concerted international pressure is needed to drive the region toward what peace is possible.

I think it's trite and in bad taste to attempt to relativise atrocities.

anybody who spends over a million dollars on legal fees covering up his trail has something to hide.
the contradictions are there, and any reasonable person has to ask the question.

Surely, placing a value on clothing as an expression of modesty necessarily gives credence to all the negative associations that 'not dressing modestly' has traditionally implied? By extension, society at large can and does place a contextual value on a woman's choice of clothing. That is the crux of the matter and that is what is wrong with the symbolic use of clothing as an expression of modesty. If a woman chooses to wear trousers because she likes them, that's fine and dandy, it is even fine and dandy if she chooses to wear them for any number of other personal reasons but if she chooses to wear them because it expresses her modesty, then that's a continuation of the insidious use of clothing to make a value judgment on a woman's sexual availability and behaviour, and that is terribly wrong.
As to the men who do not respect strippers simply because they are stippers, well, that's a nice eye opener for the rest of us.

Offended? How typical and how wrong. What is offensive is the symbolism of clothing used to denote the notion that women must be covered to be modest, chaste and good. That is not a symbolism that I invented or dreamed up, it is a symbolism born of misguided belief systems and that notion must be challenged if society is to progress away from the absurd and dangerous idea that women in a state of undress deserve to be sexually abused. Defend choice by all means, but choice based on reality, not fiction.

This demonstrates what should have been blatantly obvious before. Hamas is holding the Palestinian people hostage, exacerbating the suffering in order to try and obtain more leverage.

So, even when the most pro-Palestinian news agency agrees that the "activists" on board the Mavi Marmara instigated the violence, it's still the Israelis (with their paintball guns in hand at the start) who were "the savages ... thirsty for blood as usual and killed the people on the ship".
Then no amount of proof in the world will convince you otherwise and you will remain blind to the truth.
Neither side here were angels, but only one side entered the situation with blood on their minds. And it wasn't the Israelis.

0h John.....Im soooo sorry. :crying: :crying:
He is with our Messiah.
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Not that I care what the bible does and doesn't say, but really, it definitely does not say that, or anything like it. What a bizarre thing to iterate from someone allegedly so learned.

So you would ignore the 2000 years of religious significance of the area? Then you don't really have even a small grasp of the problem.

Israel annexed the land from 1967 while defending itself from arab agression
Israel kills in response to terrorist killings
Israel won't sign a NPT because it is the only country on earth that other countries and groups have sworn to eraticate (nukes are for defense)
International border with whom? Egypt,Jordan, and Lebanon have recognized borders. You mean Syria which takes its direction from Iran and directs Hezzbolah and arms Hamas?
Israel will stop assasinating people when the type of people they assasinate stop directing the killing of innocent Israelis
Pregnant women... the absurdity of this comment speaks to your stupidity
Last I checked, non-jews have full citizenship in Israel, including the right to vote. CHeck the Israeli knesset, there are many muslim reperesentatives
The holocaust can never be milked enough...
UN resolutions... have you even looked at the condemnations issued by them.. it would seem like Israel is one of 5 countries in the world the amount they are cited... bias?
By activist you mean terrorist?
Isreal fear a free Palestine... Thats why the troops pulled out and let them vote for their own leadership and Palestinean authority... Look who they put in office.
Did you just compare your Palestineans to naked indians.
My Zionist newsletter speaks from logic not hate, from fact not heresey.

there is no "right" to immigrate to the US no matter what the skill level. the US can also decide who gets offered the privilege to immigrate and can restrict immigration as many other countries currently do.
many people have a problem with this since the US used to welcome everyone. those days are long over ... and today people can't accept the change due to a perception of past practices that are no longer good for the country. immigration is not a right ... yet these people think it is ....

Huh?
They have Israeli passports, they can vote, they have representation in the Knesset. What rights are they missing?
Because 6 million Jews were slaughtered?
Because the UN is a joke, with Libya being on the Human Rights Council.

There never was a Palestinian state. Israel took Gaza from Egypt and the West Bank
from Jordan during the 1967 war. (By the way, Jordan had "occupied" the West Bank since
1950 and no-one seemed to care.)
I don't understand this sentence.
Why should it? Why doesn't Pakistan (or Britain, or the United States) give up the nukes? What a silly question.
Which one? Pre-1967 border (aka the "green line")? 1949 Armistice Line?
Because they are terrorists. Other countries, including the United States, assassinate known
terrorists who pose a threat to their national security.

We all know how blameless the British are, now if you excuse me I have to use these small pox laden blankets they gave my people.
