it's only true btw for members of western societies who were white, sufficiently arrogant to consider themselves superior to everyone whose skin was darker than their own, completely devoid of empathy and deliberately disconnected from humanity and reality. So says the man who views self-preservation as
Good Point
First of all, race is a SOCIAL construct, but it is reified by people for political, economic, etc. reasons. Yes, there is such a thing as internal racism. When you can change your genetic structure by changing society's attitudes, then maybe your assertion that it's a "social construct" will bear more
Hezbollah "won" this war, whatever is meant by victory in this case. Israel did not look like they knew what the hell they were doing, not to mention Israel really didn't know what the hell they were doing. They had their chance to really clamp down on Hezbollah, but they blew it.
The interviews of Moslems in England shows how the West has lost in this conflict. A growing number of YOUNG Moslems believe that they are in a WAR with the WEST and in that situation they are Moslem FIRST and English (or American) second. We can never change the most radical Moslems that JUST HATE us but when we take actions tha
Chakgogka, wikipedia offers a very extensive entry about the BNP which anyone is free to read. If you fear white Britons looking out for the interests of white Britons in Great Britain, then surely you'll have a problem with the BNP. Perhaps you should consider a move to" Ethniklashistan "?
If the choice is between their freedom or my security, I'm taking my security. That's why Jordan and Egypt are not at war with Israel...their security forces are strong enough and competent enough to supress he rabid Jew-hating sentiments of the civilians. If we brought freedom to those countries, soon we'd be bringing war on two more fronts to Israel.
This is important because another JU canard beloved of right-wingers here is that whole, 'if there are any truly moderate muslims, why don't they condemn the extremists?' angle. The fact of the matter is, it would take about 2-3 minutes googling to find hundreds of muslim condemnations of terrorism, extremism and political violen
Those placards certainly do look alarming, and without a bit of context I can understand, (but not really sympathise with) the knee-jerk "all muslims are bloodthirsty terrorists" vibe that the American right-wingers on JU seem to trot out time and time again... And if everyone in that crowd holding up o
EDIT: I think I get what's behind your words now - you think that there are universal human rights that cross cultures. Is that right? I don't particularly agree with that claim so the notion of human rights being mixed with Hammurabi or Islam for that matter doesn't really phase me. Again, question isn
Shades of grey, I think there's a real problem here, and as you noted, the words anti-semite and terrorist are cases in point. I'll use David Duke as an example. David Duke often states that anti-semitism is a smear word that Jewish supremacists, Israeli diplomats, lobbyists, and Likud politicians use to fend off any criticism of Israel or Jews. While he is right that that label is abused, he uses it as a springboard to launch o
Good Point You and people like you on this Blog site are in denial. All you or anyone needs to do is go to Google like I do and you can bring up all the sources I used. I copy the articles and you say I might have changed the articles. Go and look the subject up and you will see they are accurate.
It doesn't make them either bad or immoral, which I think would be necessary for their name to be ironic. How do you figure? This has little to do with what they actually believe. Here's the irony--> Hammurabi espoused views and imposed a legal system which would be consider inhumane by any
GP--who are you referring to when you talk about their hatred toward "us"? Who is the us? Israel? or the US? (I'm serioulsy just looking for clarification). This is a response to this sentence I wrote: <TR
I know, I already said Hammurabi wrote some thoroughly draconian rules. But you should remember the Qur'an has some fairly novel corporal punishments for criminals. Despite it's comparative brutality Hammurabi was responsible for establishing one of the world's first legal codes, and his laws were the basis for justice across the region. I'm guessing the Hammurabi
Good point I sighted several articles that quote the Head of the National Guard and the heads of the military services. What better sources would you like to suggest? I didn't say you were lying. I actually said you may have a legitimate point. But it's impossible to tell from reading your arti
Not particularly. There've been modern philosophical organisations named after Socrates, modern religious organisations named after Augustine and I even think there's a Magna Carta rights organisation in the UK. I think you're reading too much into the name. Let me ask you this: do you think Am
I have been to Palestine and seen Palestinians argue amongst themselves about Israel. Though obviously, this must have been just a show for the gulible westerners, because God forbid that Arabs might be people like me and you, with opinions and thoughts and dreams of their own. And I've been to Egypt a
I sighted several articles that quote the Head of the National Guard and the heads of the military services. What better sources would you like to suggest? Put html quote tags around the article you are quoting, and supply the link. After you leave a comment in the forums, click on the "edit" function and you can see what the coding looks like.
You're viewing the Palestinians as one homogeneous mass of incurable "terrorists". In nearly every conflict of this sort, one group cuts a deal and another group damns them as "sell-outs". Like Yigal Amir. The Arabs become quite homogenous when it comes to how they feel about the Zionists .
No, I agree with you. I don't think what is alleged here was really racist. I'm not even seeing racial profiling as even being a bad thing, frankly, so long as there is due process involved. Agreed. <T
Well Hammurabi was a king known for his wisdom and justice. Sure he shared more than a few ideas with Draco, but on the whole I don't think he was a bad man. Certainly better than most Mesopotanian leaders of the 20th and 21st centuries. I don't dispute he was an greatly influential figure in Western an
"FREEdHEM hemmorhoidal cream" and apply directly to their lips, apply directly to their lips, apply directly to their lips because I'm tired of hearing their sh*t. OK, now that is funny!!!
HeadOn--apply directly to the forehead. HeadOn--apply directly to the forehead. HeadOn--apply directly to the forehead. I would just love to go to every store where it's sold and destroy their stock. I think they make the commercial so annoying that you actually get a headache and feel compelled to buy their product to cure it. Then th
When was the last time Egypt or Jordan were bombed by the Israelis? By the way, read some other sources on Qana. I'll bet you this turns out to be another Jenin.
