    Obama Addresses the Middle East

    Hahaha, attack of the epic posts! When you know a debate is getting good =D

    Obama Addresses the Middle East

    A few flaws in that argument, Savak. First of all the Palestinians are not the 'indigenous' people. The term 'indigenous' people applies to the ethnic group who have the earliest known historical connection and that applies to neither the Palestinians, nor the Jews. If there were still...

    Obama calls for the reduction of Israeli West Bank settlements

    I don't think we are going to see any real progression towards peace during Benjamin Netanyahu's term in office. From an Israeli point of view he is the right person for the job, an Israel that wants to survive, (completely forgetting whether it deserves to exist or not for the moment) would...

    Obama calls for the reduction of Israeli West Bank settlements

    Savak, I haven't the faintest clue where you have received this information, but it is completely flawed, down to the 'return of the messiah.' The Jewish Messiah hasn't come yet... so how can it 'return'? The biographies of past Israeli leaders? True, many of them would have been expansionist...

    Obama Addresses the Middle East

    If the Palestinian cause is truly righteous, don't you think you're making a mockery of it and embarrassing those here who seek to convince readers who aren't aware of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? You're not impressing anyone other than each other, anyone unaware of the...

    Obama Addresses the Middle East

    No, he's just very smart. Nietzsche once said that the best way to damage a cause is to deliberately defend it with faulty arguments.

    Obama calls for the reduction of Israeli West Bank settlements

    Most Israeli's want peace, so the above statement is a generalisation. Most Israeli's fear though, and probably rightfully, that even if Israel did return to its pre-1967 borders, no lasting peace would be reached and it's enemies would continue trying to dislodge them. Justice here is...

    Yarr, this be a day of supreme reckoning for those who would have thought to string us up!

    Obama Addresses the Middle East

    I don't want to go over old threads to see intelligent debate; I want to have it here, that's why I come to this forum and it pisses me off when trolls come and ruin the discussions. What do you derive from trolling? I can't see the faintest enjoyment to be taken from it, it's a waste of time, a...

    Should we reduce the legal age for pornography to 16?

    Haha, yes pleeeease? But seriously, I don't agree. Pretty much everyone I knew when I was 16, including myself was way too intellectually immature to make many decisions, as an example, a few people in my year level took the opportunity of turning 16 and being in year 10 to leave school, a...

    Obama Addresses the Middle East

    No, they don't realise it. BoS was a really good place for intelligent debate on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict until the attack of all these fail alias trolls. As far as I'm concerned they resort to trolling in the face of an acute lack of ability to have an intelligent debate, which is a...

    Obama Addresses the Middle East

    I don't think it was ever trolling. There is an overt hatred for Jews by many members of these forums, which some try to hide under the guise of 'trolling.' Misspelling your sentences and adding "srs," "k," and "lul" at random intervals does not constitute a valid excuse for racial slurs. EDIT...

    Obama Addresses the Middle East

    So attack the Jews living outside of Israel, in Australia, on this forum who are doing the 'right' thing? Savvy.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to S.H.O.D.A.N. again.

    Obama Addresses the Middle East

    Not surprising at all that he said that. I'm surprised that he justified Israel's right to exist, called for a stop to violence from Palestinians and called for Islamic terrorism to be rooted out in a hall full of the Middle-East's most powerful, to a standing ovation, rather than a ravenous...

    Swine Virus

    Sorry to bring this back up, but I've been thinking about it. Wouldn't the above only apply to someone who already has the virus? What worry do healthy people have to have of contaminating their own face masks, and wouldn't it then act to mask some flu particles out in the unlikely case that a...

    Obama calls for the reduction of Israeli West Bank settlements

    Re: Obama calls for the destruction of Israel'... You'd think you'd want to encourage Israel to make this gesture towards peace, rather than instead using it as a new means to spread anti-Semitic rhetoric? It is unfortunate, but some of these West Bank settlements have just become huge. If...

    Islamic justice

    Food is running out or has run out, there is daily violence, corrupt leadership (if there is any), there are no civil services at all, no real law and order and clearly from this, no justice. Under these circumstances, I'd be prepared to say most societies would plunge into anarchy. I'm not...
