Reply to I Bet I Can Resolve The Israeli-Palestinian Problem in Politics JoeUser Forums

The way to solve the problems in the Holy Land is shoot every single Palestinian we can find. Ah, ethnic cleansing. When you can't figure it out, wipe out a whole ethnic group. Hey, it worked wonders for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia. And WW2 era Germany...this has to be the stupidest suggestion

That the guy was shot. Yes, the whole point is that the guy was shot for basically nothing. He wasn't doing anything suspicious, just getting on a subway train.

If you have 0 to 2 people on your blacklist you are at least open to dissenting views. Woooo! I'm open to dissenting views (And I don't know how to work the blacklist), but mostly the first one!

1. Don't read left-wing propaganda. The World Socialist Web Site is my homepage, so I'm off to a bad start... Of course, I'm also waaaaaaaaay on the left (somewhere between Tommy Douglas and Karl Marx).

I think the scary thing is that if it wasn't for this guy, we might never have known the truth, and the police would be able to kill people without consequence. I mean, they hid it from us for so long, lied to us, and one guy who knows someone at ITV is the only one to tell the public the truth.

A while ago I wrote an article on the killing of Jean Charles de Menezes Link , and got a lot of feedback (a lot of it negative). Now, it seems like there is some new evidence (or someone lied to us all) regarding the killing. Link <

It is not really theirs, but has just been occupied since the 67 war. If they want peace, they have to eventually quit occupying it. I agree. Same for the West Bank.

Are these those people from that Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas? I saw an interview with the leader on some website, and he was, in the words of Ricky from Trailer Park Boys, just plain f*cked in the head. He was saying that we have to thank God for everything that happened, including 9/11 and the tsunami, because god did it, so it was good because it eliminated "undesirables" (usually homosexuals and other "sinners"). I think he also run

I think its around 92-94 cents a litre around here, but I haven't filled up in a couple weeks (I live close to my workplace). I think that's between 350 and 400 a gallon. Although I heard that about a week ago, some guy at the gas station I go to (Canadian Tire Gas Bar, next to my place of work) put the 9 up upside down, so it was briefly 62.9.

I also like Hugo Chavez (current President of Venezuela), but I don't really want to judge him as best world leader until he is no longer a world leader.

I don't think the nationalization of private property against the will of legitimate owners is in line with the spirit of democracy. My opinion, of course. If you are referring to the copper mines, he nationalized those with the support of the Chilean people and unanimous support in Congress. Of course

But which Ghandi - Indira or Rajiv? Am I right in thinking that Mahatma Ghandi (influential as he undoubtedly was) was never an 'official' leader (by inheritance, election, whatever)? In this case, I guess if you allow him you should also allow John Lennon, Bob Geldof or - God help us all - Bono.

LOL, love how you use the word "US_supported" there, as if that really means much. We've been down the Allende path before. As with other historical figures "Democratically elected" doesn't necessarily guarantee Democratic rule. Hitler claimed to be socialist at first too, though all the 'nationalizing' he did oddly didn't seem t

september 11 marked the 79th anniversary of the british mandate in palestine. It was also the 28th anniversary of the overthrow and death of Salvador Allende, a democratically elected socialist President in Chile (and one of my favorite world leaders) in a US-supported coup.
