To: Bakerstreet or you could say they are finally just shrugging off the weak, mealy-mouthed crap that other nations are choked with, and doing what is in the interest of their nation and the rest be damned. I think you'd have been happy as a clam if the US had just made Fallujah a parking lot instead of catering to the

I think you'd have been happy as a clam if the US had just made Fallujah a parking lot instead of catering to the cretinous bastards, as would I. I'd be happy if we made the entire region a parking lot (so long as prices to park there were reasonable). I truly and honestly believe that if America

To: Bakerstreet Yet... when it is Israel it becomes about "Arab children". If you were neutral toward Israel and the whole post-WW2 Jew thing I could see it as just a "conflict". When it is accompanied by what appears to be a clear bias against a particular people, though, wouldn't that make it hypocrisy? </TABL

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I just spent two and a half hours crafting a detailed, thoroughly argued, general response to everyone. Then I hit 'close' instead of 'minimise' and lost it all. So this is the SHORT version. 1. Apologies are due to Rightwinger. The man is OK. So I apologise. 2. I hold two equally true (in a personal sense) but profoundly opposed points of view at the same time: a) I'm always going to support the underdog in any situation; and b) I admire the political r

To: Myrrander When I was a theist, I used to think that YHWH, needing sacrifice, had come upon the perfect plan: to create three separate religions that all worshipped him, and have them kill each other in His name. That way, no matter who killed whom, every bloody death would be in the name of the same god. It's the per

To: Myrrander I don't like the poem either: it sucks. But, notheless, I am the Emperor of Ice Cream. Israel may well be the world's penance, but not for the holocaust. What are six million dead Jews, compared to the fifty-odd million dead Russians killed by Stalin? If they are the world's penance it's simply because they are the living exemplars of what happens to a people when it exalts its own existence above any other

Rightwinger, with whom I normally sympathise, recently posted an article ( Link ) concerning the current conflict in Lebanon. What follows is the comment I posted on that thread. Since I took a profoundly anti-Israeli, anti-Christian stance, I fully expect Rightwinger to delete my re

I loathe Israel. I abominate, despise, detest, and would happily dance on the grave of every reeking Israeli corpse (just so you know where I stand). I loathe even more deeply those (primarily) American apologists for a regime that was birthed in terroristic violence (ask the widows of those murdered British servicemen killed by the likes of the prating hypocrites Begin and Ben Gurion). Any regime that would routinely murder children (dear me they're throwing stones again, let's fire up the auto

Thanks, LW. I may get some literature on that. I may be pissing in the wind on this one, but it would be kinda cool if somehow I reached someone who DOES want to improve their situation. What's good about the Ticket to Work program is that it allows the disabled to at least TRY to work without being pen

To: Tova7 From everything LW has said about your credentials I can't believe employers aren't beating down your door. Neither can I lol. If I am actually being discriminated against I don't believe it to be conscious, in other words I don't think it's done (if it's done) out of malice directed at me personally. Prejudice

To: Dr. Guy Try Ageism. It is actually probably more to the truth. I've considered that, and you may well be right. I'm fortunate that in this particular field (drafting generally, but especially GIS drafting in a utility-type environment) there are actually very few qualified workers. In most

As some who write here might know my most recent contract of employment came to an end May 11th of this year - a little over two months ago. In those intervening months I've been busy.

I really do loathe the smug self-congratulation with which well-fed and secure Biblical talking-heads regard the miseries of other peoples' suffering. No doubt, as the twin towers were crashing down in blood and flames, KFC was sat at home hugging her bible and congratulating herself for not being among the sinners meeting their end that day. As for your ramblings on Israel and the last days... It may not have occurred to you but at least one

All this idiot sophistry, along with the attempts to calculate how many angels are dancing on the head of this particular pin (as well as the net into which Baker is attempting to entice the 'christian' KFC - into which she's walking with her eyes wide shut) can be avoided by the realization that one of God's favorite pastimes is genocide. Why bother worshipping something that isn't an amoral motherfucker with a twisted sense of humor?

To: Tova7 I've waited awhile to respond to you because I wanted to think about what you had to say. Something in it struck me as a truth about myself without my being sure of what that truth was. Hence the delay. Why do you believe wanting to advance in and do well in life while being a Christian is wrong? Even

To: little-whip So many of them seem repulsive that I think the 'gift' is far rarer than you think. That's actually a part of it. The more repulsive they are in the eyes of the world then the nearer they are to God's holiness and purity, the greater the opportunity God has to convict
