Figleaf Posted April 5, 2007 Report Posted April 5, 2007 ... I have reported you for crybabyishness more suited to a kindergarten than a BB. Oh, nice temper tantrum, Scott. BTW, I notice you and M.Dancer stick together thru thick and thin. Are you "spartan" with eachother by any chance? Quote

What say you just be a nice little DB and waddle off somewhere and I will ignore your little sexist homophobic insult?

What say you just be a nice little DB and waddle off somewhere and I will ignore your little sexist homophobic insult? 1. What sexism? 2. What homophobia and what insult? If you find Spartan culture (or homosexuality for that matter) shameful that's your problem, not mine. 3. I have no idea what you mean by 'DB'. Maybe you'll enlighten me. Quote

jbg Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 Another good thread derailed by one or more infants. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
BC_chick Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 I also did not read the full diatribe, but a few things stand out:Harper did not define what he means by viable. Palestine, as anyone familiar with the situation knows, cannot be viable as a walled-off set of postage-stamp Bantustans, the only concept of a Palestinian state Israel has ever considered. So that means in your mind that Israel must be wiped out? How did you get from A to B? The Arabs have already been given umpteen countries. Don't be silly. How would you react if someone took NY and said "well, you've got the rest of America." Quote It's kind of the worst thing that any humans could be doing at this time in human history.

ScottSA Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 Don't be silly. How would you react if someone took NY and said "well, you've got the rest of America." Well actually, we took a lot more than NY and gave the Noble Indigenous Folk (or whatever the PC name is this week) a lot less than the rest of the country. How they reacted was to fight. Then they lost. Now they have teensy little parcels of land and we have NY and the rest of everything else. Perhaps you're right. Perhaps we ought to do a North America on the Middle east, you know, just to show them how incredibly worse it could actually get. In real life though, you can't make that type of comparison. The "countries" in the middle east are parcels of land that used to belong mainly to the Ottoman Empire. If anyone should be pissed off, its the Ottomans. And if the Arabs want to blame anyone for more recent events, they ought really to blame their former leaders who got the bright idea to trundle off across the Negev into the arms of a good thrashing. Apparently the Jews had had enough of the genocide thingy by that time and fought back, evil buggers that they are. Quote

Figleaf Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 The "countries" in the middle east are parcels of land that used to belong mainly to the Ottoman Empire. If anyone should be pissed off, its the Ottomans. Y'know, just when I think I've already read the loopiest comment I'll ever see on a forum, someone comes along to exceed that expectation. The territories you refer to were conquered by the Ottoman Empire, but the extant populations in those areas generally kept the same composition before, during and after the Ottoman Empire rose and fell. So, the people who lived there have a clear and obvious interest in the lands they inhabited, irrespective of the fact that the Ottomans ruled it. Furthermore, the 'Ottomans' don't exist anymore. For both those reasons, positing that the Ottomans and not the inhabitants should retain any interest in the territories is ... inappropriate. Quote
