You now resolutions really don't matter if they violate the invisible liberal policy of "mass aid to the underdog".

[BioHazzard]

Read the speech by the Secretary General of Hizballah. These people are not playing with a full deck of cards.

[kwyckemynd00]

Yeah...that's a true statement if I have heard one

[BioHazzard]

You ain't too bad yourself. You made some of the most accurate posts.

[BioHazzard]

An important point ignored by the mass media. This time around, besides Syria and Iran, who are the sugar daddies of Hizballah, none of the Arab countries have come to defend Hizballah. The king of Saudi basically blamed Hizballah for this mess. Word is, the Arab nations are happy to see Hizballah's wings clipped. They consider it a branch office of the Sh!te Iranians.

I love how the media like to report how Israel attacks this city or that port in Lebanon. What they don't care to point out is, the Israelis are systematically wiping out the weapon stores of Hizballah in those areas. Israel tries to avoid civilian casualties, and yet the media likes to report civilian casualties by Israeli fire. OTOH, Hizballah has been shooting rockets tipped with Syrian made anti-personnel warheads, at civilian centers. I thought that is considered war crime nowaday. Imagine the indignation and cry of outrage if it was the Israelis that fired those anti-personnel rockets at civilian centers.

Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot didn't seem to care much about religion when the slaughtered millions.

The root problem is sick people. Some justify it with religion, some justify it with politics, etc. I think it's pretty clear who the sickos are in this situation.

BTW, it seems the hypocritical to suggest killing religious people because you hate religious wars, which in fact itself would be a religious war.

While I don't agree with your atheist perspective, I do agree that religion has caused more ****ing trouble in the world than anything else.

It was a british territory when it was given to the jews.

If you wanna talk about "pre wwii" you may as well not stop there. the the romans had it before the muslims, and the jews had it before the romans, and so on and so forth.

you're a freggin' idiot dude. let go of your "white mans world" crap. the simple fact is the europeans as a whole were succesful and did absolutely nothing differnt than any other civilization would have, or had already attempted to do to them. they werent' the only ones to take over lands that werent theirs to begin with. in fact, a large portion of the lands that the arabs now occupy were not their lands. israel was holy land to the jews 5000 years before islam even existed and before the jews wre forced from their land originally by the romans (which, as i explained earlier, was taken over by the muslims, a large portion of the reason for the initiaion of the "crusades"). NOTE: I don't think people should be giving back land b/c it was "someone elses x-years ago", I'm just illustrating how moronic "oswizzle" sounds. IMO, the land belongs to its occupants, period.

get over the past and get an education. your ignorance is astounding, but, not surprising. "fairy tales" my ass you uneducated moron. might as well start spouting off that the holocaust never took place.

[BioHazzard]

Blaming religion is like blaming guns for crimes.

Religions don't kill people. Guns don't kill people. Rotten people kill people!!!

This reminds me of the braindead community activists protesting against guns and violence. No sh1t! Genius! It ain't no gun nor some abstract thing called violence that is killing people! It's your own rotten, drug dealing scumbags that are killing people on the streets.

There are billions of peaceful Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, etc etc. These religious people are not the problem. The problem is the fanatical homicidal scumbags.

Opinion?

How can you have an opinion that is contrary to established HISTORICAL FACT?

Wow.

In your opinion is the earth flat?
