I'm stuck here for the next two weeks. I could have some fun.
That's unsettling.
Sex trafficking is in the open, the cops are all payed of and look the other way. Crazy funky junk dude.
Blood I'm on syarcraft 2 :3
Dud that's awsome, I mean that you still have wifi! Amazing!
"If pro is the opposite of con, is progress the opposite of congress?" ^_^ Such an old joke
Not really. People in India will be checking Facebook on their phones while tending to a heard of water buffalo with methods that are thousands of years old. Third World doesn't mean lack of internet.
I'm having a brown out so I can't get on my computer.
I keep getting rushed with marines DX humans in that game must hate my people.
Humans in genral hate you
The ones that do Will be punished.
Uh huh. Good luck with that, I won't be helping you.
Then we Will alone in time. we Will give them allergic reactions with sneezing and runny noses!
*wears mask* uh huh.
I'M SEEING RINGO LIVE SOON WOOOOOOOOOO!
DX also include sneezing and scratching eyes :3
*files nails* I'm okay with whatever you choose to do, just leave me out of it.
*showed claws and sharp teeth*
What? *bops nose with newspaper.* don't bother daddy while he's working.
DX
*Showed loaded AKM*
New poll everyone! :D
Also, is nobody here interested in the Uno tournament?
Here's the link to the Uno Tournament page if you want to read about it; you don't need to join the forums to sign up, though, you can just tell me here!

*saw the stranger as he started barking*
Hopefully, I am not the stranger...
That other
What other? Ringo? You mean you haven't met Salax's Beatles obsession?
Salaxons
I toured a former concentration camp today. I don't have words to describe it except for, "my God."
Pictures? Bring me something back!
I respect the dead way too much to take pictures in a place like that.
Where is it?
Phnom Pehn Cambodia
Today is terrible already... I hate America.
Be careful what you post.
I'm busy crying over Israel. I'm Jewish after all. Why can't Hamas just leave us alone?
Why can't the economy here be as stable as it.was?
I know I will make myself very unliked, but why can't Netanyahu pursue a peaceful solution? It had been done in the past and it had worked, more or less at least.
Furthermore, when I look at the Gaza-Strip, I have a little voice in the back of my head, that calls "Warshaw Ghetto". So, are you really and absolutely sure, that the Hamas and their like are the only evil persons here?
The peace talks failed.
What exactly should they do when they are firing rockets indiscriminately into civilian areas?
The peace talks of Ariel Sharon and Jassir Arafat didn't fail - the two of them died during them and nobody was willing to take it up! The Roadmap, a whole other thing, dating back to Clinton, didn't fail, the Israelis at one did simply decided not to keep it because of... I have to write "reasons" here, lest I will get insulting.
As for a prudent course of action in case of a missile attack: reacting is definately not done in a correct way by indiscriminately bombing back into the civilian areas.
In my opinion, I have to say, that there was already a halfway decent truce established. Benny should have built up on it with the Palastine Government, not blowing everything to pieces.
They are also firing rockets from civilian areas and literally using human shields. You can't negotiate with people like that.

But you can negotiate with the moderate people and can make their support go away. Then, the extremists are simply put f-worded.
You know, a wise Mexican politician named Benito Juárez said something very real and good: "Among individuals, as among nations, respect for the rights of others is peace." Maybe, the government of Israel should begin to show at least a minimum of respect for the government of Palastine - arresting their president in the middle of the night certainly isn't a good way to do that!
Palestine is not not was it ever a legitimate country.
Why?
They are on a very good path of being, if the Israelis (a.k.a. the government of Israel) like it or not. They most likely do not.
The Israelis maybe should get comfortable with the thought, that Middle Eastern Policy has changed and they should adapt before it's too late.
Because it never existed. That land belonged to several Arab states until the British settled the Jews there at the end of WWII. The area was referred to as Palestine, but it was not a free or independent nation. Only very recently have they begun to claim that.
Israel has had to fight for it's very survival since the beginning, their actions are completely understandable. They have not been indiscrimenately bombing civilians, only terrorist leaders and weapons caches. Civilians are given advanced warnings to evacuate.
haven't heard much from palestine except for war.
They had to fight, because they came to the piece of Earth today called Israel because they came, threw the already settling Arab population out and basically said "Yep, that's our country now. You Arabs, you F-word off!"
Of course the Arabs didn't think, that this was nice! Would you?
Then you haven't been listening. Literally: The Palastine Youth Orchestra, for example, or pop music, in their genres on par with everything "the West" has produced lately, just different.
Here's a short link to the part of a performance of the PYO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3LikIxX5mY
It was historically Jewish land to begin with. The British gave it to them anyway. Blame the British if you're going to blame anyone. Where else would they have gone huh?
British...
Great country, going there this Saturday.
"[H]istorically Jewish land to begin with"? You do know, that this is a very difficult claim to defend?
How do you plan to defend it? Going back to King Dave?
Furthermore: Let's go back to WW1, where the Entente needed support in the area to defeat the Ottomans. A man now known as Lawrence of Arabia set out to secure this support.
He had an offer in his hands to both the nationalistic arabians in the area and to the zionists in the area: Support us and the land is yours!
Both parties supported the Brits and got bitterly disappointed at the end of the war, where the Brits took the land and said "Well, stuff happens. Would you like a cup of tea?"
The 20s and 30s saw more zionists move to the place, especially from Germany. However, WW2 rolled around and was done with. The Brits left the country, because it wasn't worth the money pumped in, yes, but things could have been handled differently by both the Arabs and especially the Zionists. Never forget, that the Arabs were actually already living there and not singing pretty songs about the land.
"Where else would they have gone huh?"
Do you know, how the very idea of an Israel came to be? The Zionists saw antisemitism in the Europe of the late 19th and Early to middle 20th century and thought to themselves more or less: "Hmm... there has to be a nation for the Jews, just for us, so that we can defend ourselves... but where put it?"
And thus began the first waves of immigration to what we today call Israel. They were quite decent at first, bought the land in accordance to all rights and just... and then began to establish Kibbuzs (?) on land, that wasn't their own.
"Where else would they have gone huh?" - I have to admit, that I have no idea to where else, but where they in the end landed, they could have done things much better then they did!
And with that, allow me to retire for the day. I have work to do tomorrow, so I am very sorry to cut things short in this manner.
I wish you all a good night.
Depends on how you look at it
Politically.. less so. They don't do the whole EU thing, boo.
Which is a plus. The EU thing sucks
...no it doesn't.
*moved to urran whining some*
Yeah it does
Sup
Not much, you?

Uh-oh, 'ere we go! Why? The EU stimulates the economy, peace, and international crime fighting.
And corruption and the slow wearing away of autonomy and anti Americanism and high taxes and need I go on?
Corruption? Anti-American? Wut.
O.o

I would choose the Empire. They have the cooler uniforms, cooler ships, cooler weapons... only negative-point is this racism-stuff, but at least the Emperor isn't too blind to see a strategic and tactical genius, when he sees one (a.k.a. Thrawn).
The Empire has a stable economy and provides jobs, too. Becides, they're not racist to humans, so eh :P
We arn't any more.
