"I am not interested in their culture nor am I any kind of expert on it"
Yet you claim that "You are very ill informed of these people"
Well I am informed and have studied the political and cultural history of the region. It's OK if a sad song or story makes you cry, but I can tell you that you and your ilk are dupes: hapless tools being spun by the Pallywood PR machine.
"Hezbollah, Hamas and all the Palestinian people have no interest in attacking Israel, that is complete nonsense...
I can assure you categorically that Ismail Haniyeh's offer of a truce was taken very seriously, it was a huge breakthrough at the time."
Irishman - This illustrates how little you understand about the culture of your Palestinian darlings.
Any offer of peace is Taqiyya (a deception) used to establish a Hudna (temporary truce in order to rebuild armed might). It's in the koran, and is specifically condoned when dealing with non-muslims (Christians and Jews)
Read it sometimes, and realize that it is worshipped by islamists as a literal command and example of how to behave. This differs from Christians and Jews, who regard their holy texts as metaphorical or antiquated as (unprovoked) mass killings are concerned.
Your passion it admirable, but tragically misguided.

Young kids believe everything that adults tell them.
The more magical you can make your kids' childhoods the better. That means santa, fairies, magic beans, flying cars and whatever else you can dream up.
When they get older and figure it out for themselves, the slight distress that it causes is actually *good* for your child.

All we really want from people is efficiency, conservation, and a move away from fossil fuels. Global warming is our motivation, but it's a good idea for everyone, regardless.

Flat Earth WAS mainstream scientific belief for hundreds of years.

>> ^blankfist:
Warmist sounds a lot like alarmist, doesn't it? We'll most likely see more of those for the next four years. Quality find, Irishman. We need more opposing viewpoints on this issue, because the Gore-following Warmist Automatons think the debate is over about Global Warming, science be damned.
Yes, all people who follow mainstream scientific belief are automatons.
That's what they tell me in my weekly Flat Earth Society meetings. We've got to stop those deadly Sphere-ists from throwing away billions on "satellites" that just sail over the edge of the earth, never to be seen again!
I mean, they're obviously trying to cow people into giving up good money with fear, the word Sphere-ists has
pherefear built right into it!QED
I want my upvote back, I didn't realise the level of actual racism from these people. I don't want to be associated with this thread or these posters.
So unable to defend your outrageous claims, you resort to ad hominim attacks. Sad...
Was this busy market collateral damage?

What about civilians executed on the street during the last 18 months by Israeli police enforcing illegal blockades?
What about the civilans being given 7 minutes to abandon their homes before blowing them up?
What about the Depleted Uranium being used in Gaza right now?
After another few days of this you will see how very wrong you are.
Yes, the market shelling is collateral damage: a sad but predictable result of Hamas' aggression. The blood is on their heads.
"Illegal Blockades" you give no example.
"Civilians given 7 minutes to leave their homes" Extraordinary efforts by the IDF ti avoid civilan casualties. If Hamas were half so humane, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
"Depleted Uranium" You make me laugh!
"Another few days" We'll see. It's going swimingly so far. Hamas will never be an honorable foe, but the more sent to allah, the better.

Galileo was persecuted for claiming that the earth went around the sun, which was also against mainstream scientific belief for hundreds of years.
If you think my position on this is crazy, how about replying in the sift with your reasons instead of just sending an insulting message.

...this batch of celebrities got a NEWS CONFERENCE?
I mean, they can sing and act and stuff (at least, I think), but jeez.
I made a visit to the Venus Project and met him a few months ago, and he's a wonderful man. When you're in his presence you'd never guess that he was 92. He's so full of energy and enthusiasm.
In reply to this comment by Irishman:
Man, I was going to send you a link to the Venus Project in my last reply! I have seen no better vision for a harmonious civilisation that this, removing the monetary system wipes out so many problems. The need to make a profit is driving the entire planet to destruction. When I started reading Jacques Fresco's stuff, it was like somebody just switched the lights on.
It opened my eyes to the stuff we're being fed via the news about resources running out, food running out blah blah blah - there are enough resources, enough skill and enough talent to make this vision work right now, it is the rich and powerful who stand in the way.
In reply to this comment by HollywoodBob:
There's a gentleman here in Florida that I've grown to thoroughly admire. He's a futurist by the name Jacques Fresco and he's designed a future free of much of the bullshit that we deal with today, a global community with a cybernated resource based society. In his world money doesn't exist, the government is run by computer constructs administered by the best and brightest(not the power hungry), and industry has been automated to allow people the freedom to work on the betterment of mankind. You might enjoy checking him out. www.thevenusproject.com

You assume correctly Bob - born, bred, still living and working in Ireland
I was having this exact discussion with a friend tonight, he is of the opinion that as soon as you kill one single person you are just as bad as the oppressor. There's no arguing against that of course - you *are* just as bad. But it's a reaction against oppression that with hindsight is seen to be inevitable, all the way back through historical conflict.
Government by its very nature can never have a utopian worldview. All forms of hierarchical control will not achieve this, whether they be democracy, socialism or communism. They are all different flavours of the monkey-brain male dominator culture.
That leaves us with anarchy, which to me means every individual pursuing their own desires with no outside control, restraint or boundary. This is in fact how we lived for many hundreds of thousands of years, this is our paradise lost, our ancient utopia that can be unearthed and discovered through many ancient and sacred texts...
In reply to this comment by HollywoodBob:
I'll agree with you that oppression leads to revolution, and Kennedy's quote fits the situation in Ireland quite well. The British refused to deal with Irish independence diplomatically and fairly, so they brought the ensuing violence upon themselves. Oppression isn't a necessity of life though. Nations can get along just fine without needing to oppress/occupy other nations.
I'm assuming you're country would be Ireland? It's terrible what the British government did there. It was needless, and really just a complete waste of life.
I keep hoping the leaders of this world will grow up and get a more utopian world view. If nations did more to better the world as a whole than just protecting their own interests the world would be a much better place.
In reply to this comment by Irishman:
That's exactly how I used to think, until I started studying the history of my own country.
Oppression leads to revolution, always has done and always will. The monster is he who does nothing...

I would say that if you kill innocent people, regardless of your motives, you are a monster.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable. - John F. Kennedy
He's right in that if peace doesn't work, violence is your next course of action. But he's wrong on the necessity of revolution.
In reply to this comment by Irishman:
Fighting against oppression with violence is not becoming Nietzsche's monster at all. Fighting oppression will always be as violent as it needs to be.
When peaceful revolution is impossible, violent revolution is inevitable. I forget who said that...

And yeah, people need to get themselves over Nietzsche and start thinking for themselves again.
I'm not a big fan of Nietzsche, I just like that quote and it fits the point I was trying to make.
