Earthstation 5 Claimed to be Malware
Rob from RPI writes "You may remember the announcement about a company, or program, or both called Earthstation 5 who recently 'Declared War' on the MPAA. Well guess what? Turns out that it's got code in it that allows anyone to delete any file on your computer. I suggest that you un-install as soon as possible!"
How the HELL is this redundant!?! There isn't a comment that says this so far!
Read the parent post closely. It's a troll.
I cordially invite you to shut your pie-hole. It's crap like that that makes the rest of us look like irrational frothing anti-capitalist lunatics, and invites the likes of the RIAA/MPAA to treat us as such.

Please check your history before you post. The Palestinians did not come into existence until 16 years after the British handed over 1/3 of what the UN resolution required to form present-day Israel. The creation of the Palestinians was a response to Egypt and Syria realizing that they couldn't destroy Israel by military force. Since the Palestinians didn't exist when Israel invaded, Israel is not an invader.
Furthermore, purposely attacking civilians is a war crime, and therefore is terrorism even if you are being invaded.
For the US citizens: If Mexico invades Texas, you're allowed to defen yourselves without Mexico calling you terrorists.
This is also incorrect. Since George Bush was elected governor of Texas, and he is a terrorist, the Mexicans can call Texans terrorists whether or not they are defending themselves from invasions.
..since I never could get it to work, I'd uninstalled it a LONG time ago.
I *did* notice one thing about KaZaA Lite however (not bullshitting):
I've got four systems on my network at home. One of the two on my desk is running KaZaA Lite. All the boxes have software firewalls installed in addition to my LinkSys NAT firewall/switch.
The other day, my primary machine's firewall displays a warning regarding an out-bound connection attempt from that box.
This box wasn't running KaZaA Lite. Nor is it installed on this system. Anyone else see anything like this?

Interesting. Since you are so versed in history, you might want to explain too: if the state of Israel is an invader, why did the people who form it felt the need to "invade" the Middle East? Where did they come from in the first place?
(Yes, yes, offtopic, I know).
I know my history - now - do you know anything about that region? Do you know that Israel currently occupies twice the area they were given by the previous incarnation of the UN? Do you know that they're building a wall around "their" country - which just happens to be including a lot of that illegally occupied territory?
I'm also interested in hearing if anyone who replied to me claiming Palestinians are terrorists because they're targetting civilians/children know that Israel are targetting civilians/children themselves? What does that make the state of Israel?
Really.
it's in my head
Do you know that they're building a wall around "their" country - which just happens to be including a lot of that illegally occupied territory?
And how did they come in posession of that "ilegally occupied" territory? Through the wars in 1967 and 1973, right? And who started those wars? Oops...
For an explanation to why the state of Israel has expanded its borders you need to look no longer than their religion. They truly believe they have a God-given right to the _whole_ country - not just the area they got for free from the former UN - but current Palestine too.

No, that's not the question I am asking. What I'm asking is: why did all those jews who live in Israel felt the need to move to the Middle East and "steal the land" of the palestinians, when they could have stayed peacefully in their homes in Dusseldorf, Munich or Berlin?
I am asking this because there are many (the own palestinians among them) who complain not only about Israel expanding "beyond their borders", but about its mere existence at all. According to them, Israel and those who live in it simply have no business staying in the Middle East. Which begs the question, of course, of what to do then with all the jews who live there...
Does it justify it? Well, we'll never know, will we? If those who started the wars of 1967 and 1973 hadn't done so, maybe Israel would never have had the chance to commit those atrocities you talk about. Maybe they wouldn't have the chance to build that wall (which, BTW, is opposed by many in the religious right in Israel), because they wouldn't be in possesion of the land in question. But gosh, we'll never know now, will we? After all, why bother researching who were the first ones to attack, when you can easily blame it all on the jews?
If you main method of "defending" your "country" is killing women and childern then, yes, what you are doing is terrorism.
The historical record is incontrovertible

Palestine may not have been an independent nation state, but the Palestinian people had existed as a distinct race since biblical times when the Semitic tribes split along religious grounds.
Care to provide some proof for this? Linguistically, the Palestinians speak almost the same dialect of Arabic which Jordanians, Lebanese, and Syrians do. See http://www.lmp.ucla.edu/profiles/profl02.htm for more information.
Until the late 1980s, Jordan still claimed ownership of the West Bank. It was only in 1989 that Jordan finally relinquished all claims to the land and its people. See http://www.kinghussein.gov.jo/his_periods9.html for more information.

Israel was created following the even bigger influx of Jewsih refugees after the Second World War. Many of these refugees brought bitter memories of the concenration camps with them, and a willingness to use force to gain a nation state. The British were unable to control the situation, having been effectively bankrupted by the war, and eventually pulled out after increased bombings of their official buildings, etc. The result was bloodshed, as the Jewish militias ehnically cleansed large parts of Palestine. Pretty ironic considering the background to the Jewish desire for a nation state.
I'm not even going to bother refuting your comments about "ethnic cleansing" since they're so ridiculous.
What I will do is try to put a nail in the coffin of the completely erroneous belief that Israel exists only due to European imperialism, and that its population is a reflection of that "fact."
The reality is that Israeli Jews are incredibly multi-ethnic, and a very large percentage of the society has no roots in Europe! For some reason, in this whole discussion of refugees, nobody ever mentions how the high number of Jewish citizens from Arab countries who were forced to flee to Israel as refugees:
From http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/comment-lit
In 1945 there were about 140,000 Jews in Iraq; 60,000 in Yemen and Aden; 35,000 in Syria; 5,000 in Lebanon; 90,000 in Egypt; 60,000 in Libya; 150,000 in Algeria; 120,000 in Tunisia; and 300,000 in Morocco, including Tangiers. That comes to a total of about 960,000 -- and more than 200,000 in Iran and Turkey.
The vast majority of these people were forced to flee their own lands into Israel. And, more recently, almost 15,000 Jews from Ethiopia -- yes, there are actually black Jews in the world! -- fled their own country and arrived in Israel.
Pretty ironic that none of these groups have any desire to go back to the "homes" they lived in for hundreds or even thousands of years. And, unlike Palestinians who have relocated to Jordan, most of these people's children no longer consider themselves "refugees."
Just some food for thought.
Get it through your head this is all the Palestinians got to fight against the high tech US powered Israeli army

I smell an agenda...
well actually, it perhaps it would have been better to just give Rome and its surrounding territories to the Jews, since the Romans were the ones who kicked them out of Israel in the first place.
Logic, macros, and more
But that's natural since you're probably American.
Trendy Americian bashing like that give you any credibility. **YAWN**
just shut up man. Everyone is on one side of this, and everyone else is on the other side. It's mostly the not clear things in this that are important. Like the whole muslim race wants all the Jews, and Christians killed, or converted.
It's not some secret plot, or a small cult of people who have this goal, but almost the entirety of followers of Islam. Even Saudi princes discuss with other Saudi princes (idiots in white turbans) about how to get rid of Israel. For the most part people of the Arab palestine do not want to live there, but no Muslim country will accept them.
Why not? because they hate them too, but less than they hate "infidels".
Ok, here you go, I didn't even mention any atrocitys, do any one sided comparison, and I've blown away your whole argument.
"And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the World"
1 John 4:14
not to mention... the jews took the land from whoever had it before them (Caananites if you choose to use the Bible / Torah).
The whole "we had it first" is a circular argument - of course there is no such thing as a "pure jew" anymore in the same way that there is no person who is completely any race.
