For instance, it is my guess that you've never even bothered to look up Obama's voting record in the Senate. Wrong. Yeah, but I'll bet you didn't look it up at rushlimbaugh.com Right! It's OK to be a conservative, and it's OK to believe that it's better for the country. But I don't think it's OK to blindly make assumptions and look for stuff on the 'net (or wherever) to support a decision you already made. If you want an example of a very conservative person who's kept an open mind about things, look at Reverend Dobsen's "conversion." In 2006, the guy is anti-Obama, believing that he uses the bible to further his own causes and distorts where helpful. In 2008, he votes for Obama, the first time in his life he's ever voted for a Democrat for President, because he believes that Obama has lived a life closest to what Jesus did. That took not just thinking, but courage to do. That's something sererely lacking in many. The courage to recognize that, oh my gosh, maybe somebody else was right after all. As I've grown older, I've discovered that the more absolutely certain I am about something, the more likely it is that I could be wrong. Continuous examination of the data, and the soul, is a very good thing. It doesn't mean you have nothing to stand on; the most-important principles are ethical and can be absolute. But if you have, say, pacifist beliefs that don't allow you to consider there may be times when strong action is required, and you let those beliefs color everything about how you see the world... I think that gets in the way of solutions to problems. Similarly, if you believe that the only way something can be handled is with a show of force, same thing. I've said it before, I'll say it again. Watch the documentary on Rober McNamara, "The Fog of War." --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA |

Hit a nerve? You can spin it anyway you want you have consistently supported and excused the Islamic Fundamentalist children of the Nazis. Must be bacuse you hate Jews, right, if we're just gonna pull **** out of our asses. I've also got "blasts" using the term you used to try and minimize my argument about the Klan, the Aryan Nations and the other racist, fascist scumbags who believe the same things as Hamas without the Islamic Fundamentalist garbage. Is the West Bank blockaded? The Palestinians have many legitimate gripes. The stated goal of exterminating a whole country and it's people is NOT and acceptable solution to me. It seems it is to you. There is nothing you aren't willing to excuse them. At least the scum you keep accusing Davey of supporting are mostly octagenarians these days, not child warriors. You are what you do, Howard and that's all on display for us to see. hate, torture, political prisoners, etc...are all somewhere between good, and "kinda ****ty" as long as done by people you like, support, or agree with politically. Then you claim "I don't support that, I support the people." As you point out Hamas was elected on the platform of NO negotiation of the right of Israel to exist, and the pledge to continue killing Jews until they were all gone with no negotiation. The people of Gaza are responsible for their choice the same way We, the Germans, the Japanese, etc...were and are responsible for their leadership. Peace isn't 5000 rockets targeted, specifically, at civilians over the last 2 years. They wanted war, now they have it. Bill C |

Strawman. HAHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I'm talking about the continuous expansion of settlements in the West Bank. As long as Israel continues to expand its territory, she will never have peace, nor does she deserve it. There isn't a people on the face of the planet that will not fight if their territory is being taken away. Say, didn't ISRAEL win all of that territory in wars that the surrounding Arab nations started? Dumbass - In the West Bank the settlements have been increasingly encroaching on Palestinan territory. That is a fact. The expansion isn't even fully supported in Israel itself. Most of them are "illegal" even under Israeli law, but they don't have an enforcement mechanism to get rid of the illegal settlements. Eventually the squatters become permanent and the Palestinians, naturally, want to do something about it. If you were in their shoes, you would too. thanks, K. Gringioni.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yep, and can germany get Alsace and the Sudetenland back now too? Ignoramous - The settlement expansions have happened all in the last 20 years and are continuing to this day. If someone was taking your territory, you'd likely be doing something about it. thanks, K. Gringioni.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yep. That's been the justification given for lots of wars and global slaughters, right along with religion. There are lots of things to be done that don't involve 5000 rockets targeting civilians in the last 2 years. How about hitting military checkpoints, hitting the illegal settlements, hitting the leaders who are pushing it. Those are all acceptable from a military standpoint, blowing up markets, nightclubs, school busses, and indiscriminately firing on civilians are war crimes, and crimes against humanity. How many have been charged by the ICC, arrested, etc... The cobtrary is true. The cease fire was agreed in Lebanon based on the international community and the UN demilitarizing the Lebanese border and keeping Hezbullah from rearming. They are now better armed than they were at the start of the war, by all accounts, and that was done with the folks supposedly keeping this from happening doing nothing to prevent it and uphold the cease fire conditions.

You said, "... Israel has blockaded Gaza since Hamas won a fair election." Yeah, HAMAS won a fair election. Hitler also won a fair election. I'm sure Hitler also gained popularity and trust in German society by establishing hospitals, education systems, libraries and other services throughout Germany - just like HAMAS. Hitler's charter called for the annahalation of the Jews - just like HAMAS. The Iraelis and Arabs will always be opposed to each other, but the strain would be greatly reduced without the Arab cancer called HAMAS. But what does any of this have to do with bike racing? It has nothing to do with bike racing. |
