Your explanation that it was the fault of a few greedy jews is a gross distortion, one used by nazi apologists, which I assume you are not. Since I am giving you the benefit of the doubt, my guess is you are just very misinformed. If you want to simply focus on the history if it in relation to...

So the Holocaust was all really the fault of a few jews in the end, huh? Yeah, had nothing to do with centuries of christian religions painting them as christ killers and made-up bullshit like the blood libel. I mean, are you fucking for real here? Yet you had the gall to complain people...

Not really. Also, definitely no resolution on the mystery.

Note I said the US, not isolated soldiers. Let me be clear for you, since you are trying to misrepresent the obvious, do you think the US as a policy was intentionally targeting civilians?

Do you think the US was intentionally targetting civilians in the Iraq war? That really must be the only explanation also for all the civilian casualties in that conflict.

Yes Phazael, mistakes happen. Just because you have drones in the sky, doesn't mean you somehow have perfect missiles or perfect people operating them. Did the rebels in Ukraine intentionally shoot down M17 knowing it was a civilian plane? Did the US intentionally shoot down IR655, knowing...

Well, when the "moderate" Palestinian position still calls for a one-state solution and the defacto result of the destruction of Israel (right of return), yeah.

Hamas is very popular. Acting like the civilian population is being held hostage by Hamas and all they want is peace is just wrong.

Unless they dramatically change it from the book, those wanting answers to the mysteries are going to get fucked. The book is a straight up character study.

Israel will continue the campaign, with occasional breaks for ceasefires. The muslim world and palestinian sympathizers will continue to rage about the horrors of Israel. Then, after they have gotten most of the tunnels they think they can find, in a behind the scenes coordinated sop to the US...

No GR's at all (well, 3 seconds of a person yelling at them). Focused solely on Nora Durst and her visit to a conference about the Departed.

I actually liked this last episode. I hate myself.

Well, considering that Hamas shows completely zero restraint, I don't see how he could possibly be worse than Hamas. In fact, I'm guessing he would handle it alot better than the current leadership of Hamas. He certainly couldn't do worse.

Don't be more of a moron than you usually are. Obviously using Palestinian children like that is a war crime. However, those were very isolated cases. On the other hand, it is clear that Hamas intentionally goes out of its way to target Israeli children and use their own children routinely as...

Yep, full-Ghandi mode would instantly force the Israeli's to deal with them humanely. No doubt about it. Their public would not stand for anything that remotely looked like "jack boot" tactics for long against something like that. Now imagine the reverse, the Israeli's tried ghandi-like...

Yes, they strike where the rockets are coming from. Unfortunately, because Hamas shoots the rockets from next to houses, puts tunnels under civilian buildings, attacking those results in casualties. You know, the human shields we were talking about. Were you not paying attention? Israel...

What exactly is your point? The Israeli army has drones? Okay? Not sure wtf that has to do with anything, didn't you promise to leave? Stop breaking your promises. On to Araysar and his examples of "human shields". Your examples further illustrate the point. The Israeli's caught using...

Look, you will always be able to find a few Israeli's who are either motivated by religion or just simply exasperated by decades of terrorism into saying fucked up shit. The difference is, this stuff isn't codified into their constitution. It isn't trumpeted on every kids television show to...

Again, the moral difference you seem continually to miss is that Israel isn't launching shells, bombs or missiles deliberately at children. Hamas clearly is. Now that doesn't mean children don't die. They of course do, and its pretty horrific. However, using human shields vs doing your best...

Goodbye Osiris, I look forward to you coming back in a few days to drop the knowledge on us.

I am trying to educate you bro. You were asked to find one thing to blame on the Palestinians and you failed completely at that. As Tuco points out, even Wombat (or myself for that matter) could do a much better job. You really need some perspective on how the Israeli's might feel in all of...

Well, looks like Israel is setting out now to destroy the Hamas tunnel network for good. I am curious what technology they are using to find them and how good that technology is. Anyone familiar with that type of stuff?

You are getting less coherent with each response. It might be best to step away from the computer and take your son to Guardians of the Galaxy. While you are going there, consider how you would feel if people were shooting rockets deliberately at the theatre trying to hit your child.

I just don't get why businesses would give a fuck, outside of moral prudishness. If you are doing your job, what is the problem?

Let me quote this again, since Osiris went running away last time without responding. Your only "solution", the only way forward, is just to wait until some moderate Islamic country (which outside of Turkey, basically doesn't exist) eradicates Al-Qaeda? So your position has nothing to say on...

He isn't saying they have a uniform you fucking mongoloid. He is saying that every single Palestinian casualty shown is portrayed as a civilian. I mean, fuck, you have pro-ISIS protests in London and idiots like you still can't see the moral difference.

Also, since this is the feminist thread apparently, what is up with some of the feminist youtube channels seriously hating on atheists? Seems that atheism and feminism movements have much in common. Certainly religion is a MAJOR factor in discrimination against women and it seems that there is a...

So was listening to Daniel Dennett's very good book "Breaking the Spell". At one point, he says that it is easy to fall into the trap of many sociologists and psychologists, of "insufficient imagination" once you have found one possible explanation for a phenomena. Which really seems to fit...

Welll, it can't possibly be worse than the Walking Dead.

Gotta go, heading out to buy a car, but I just wanted to say that anyone talking about a one-state solution is either incredibly naive or lying about wanting peace. The only possible hope for peace at this point is a two-state solution, which COULD happen if the palestinians would renounce...

I fucking hatewatch this show. It is so fucking horrible. The motivation of the GR's doesn't make any sense and they are some of the most horrible people I have ever had the displeasure of seeing on tv. We are supposed to feel sorry for a lady getting stoned? Fuck that shit, I was cheering. For...

So you think Israel should do a one-state solution, because the palestinians are filled with ignorance? Unless you can educate them out of being muslims, that isn't going to work. What WOULD happen in that situation is, the palestinian majority of a one-state solution would vote the jews out of...

Yes, neither side is perfect. However, saying both sides are as bad as each other is just wrong. Simply look at what both sides would do if they had the power. Hamas openly wants genocide on Israel, and if they had the power, there would be no jews at all. Israel has the power, yet isn't...

You could say that, but you would be wrong.

Not many people could have accurately predicted that Game of Thrones would be a bigger hit than the Sopranos.

Well, what is the solution? It seems to me that if the radicals are running the government, educating their children, shooting rockets and winning all the votes, maybe we should stop acting like the moderate palestinians matter.

Pretty much. Lowest course numbered class at my university is an algebra class teaching linear equations, rational expressions, polynomials and the like. However, it gives no credit towards any bachelor's degree or higher. Never taught this class, so no idea how basic it really is. Lowest...

Why do you think he is biased? Is it because he thinks that juries are likely to look for technicalities to give women lesser sentences? He links to this:Men Sentenced To Longer Prison Terms Than Women For Same Crimes, Study Says Do you disagree with this or think it is wrong? I mean...

Sure, but how do we do that? Maybe require judges to read a fixed definition of proof beyond a reasonable doubt? Require juries to take a short hour-long course on reasonable doubt and eyewitness testimony? I don't know.

When discussing the death penalty with people, if I bring up the number of exonerated people who were on death row, they tend to say shit like "Well, we should only allow the death penalty in cases where we are SURE, like when we have direct eyewitness testimony". Uggh, that people find...
