Take that soviets.
Oh and does this mean I can trademark the word "God"? If so I am happy. Otherwise I am going to continue the refrain that our society has officially jumped the shark.
but Haiti is a country of its own, the ancestors may have been slaves, but it is it's independent country... they're not "American"... they're Haitian, it's their nationality, now if haiti had a huge white population (which it doesn't) it'd probably be like South Africa which is Black/Zulu south African white English/Dutch South African Indian South African... like people from Sierra Leon, there is a large population of them that went from slavery here to colonies there. They wouldn't be called Haitian, or American, or African-American or god-knows what... they'll be Sierra-Leonean (or whatever)
At the end of the day it's people's preferences though. Brown, black, blue, white, purple, grey, beige, striped, straight, gay, pansexual, etc. etc. whatever floats your boat.
for you the consumer it doesn't matter how the product comes to be, however, from a social perspective, from a power and wealth perspective, and to understand how a society functions and who is suffering from workplace inequality etc. etc. it is important to get information like this. yeah... this is not the whole picture, but it's a starting point... the next question should be why the discrepancy? is it something inherent about the specific culture or population that's causing this inequality (, or a social construction (i.e. racism).
Uh because this SPECIFICALLY refers to black people in America specifically those from the background of slavery --> I.E. AFRICAN AMERICAN versus black indians, or black africans... etc etc
African american isn't PC unlss you use it to describe people who aren't of the understood ancestry, which is something yuppies don't seem to understand.
1. Do you write scripts for the white house by any chance? how much do you make? start considering it... they need someone to save ass this last year.
2. "The police officer, in self defense, shoots back. "
1--> Since when did the Israeli military become Palestine's police?
2--> Assuming Gaza/West Bank are sovereign as Israel "claims" they are, wouldn't the so called "terrorists" be defending the Palestinians, hence isn't Israel shooting at the Palestinian military/police/civilians thereby causing retaliatory acts?
"The terrorists in Israel fire rockets. Palestine fights back. Some innocent people get killed on both sides. Palestanians feel terrible when this happens. But it's not Palestine's fault. Palestine is fighting in self defense."
Good job, that was a great loop of a sentence. (FYI I think the 120 vs 5 number matches the previous sentence more.;))
based on the chemistry i understand, in a finite space one particle is replaced by another particle unless there is a pressure being exerted from the inside to displace all particles. "i guarantee the hostility was at least mutual." in that case both the palestanians and israelis would be "moving out" (everyone in fear, everyone leaves), what happened was a mass 'exodus' of Palestinians out of their homes, and a massive influx of israeli settlers from Europe/Russia in the next 20 years (old pamphlets show were incidentally promising land/money to new settlers). I wasn't there, and I assume neither were you... but can't we work with deductive reasoning here?:/
"West Bank and Gaza Strip, which themselves were part of Jordan and Egypt, respectively, "

Dude, you realize you're pretty much quoting the previous articles' "zionist arguments" which have been refuted. It's a bit funny, but it also borderlines on sad.
Ironic that YOU'RE missing the "cause"... you think there's a bunch of kids sitting there going oh I am bored "blow stuff up." That's very naive. In the past two weeks alone, 120 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military. The Palestinians have no weapons, no defense (other than those so-called "terrorists", no security, no jobs, no education... put that pressure plus the horror of seeing your friends and neighbors getting arrested all the time (hell a year ago the entire Palestinian 'pseudo-parliament' got arrested. You think that's not enough to put someone over the edge? Until Palestinians are treated like human beings by Israel, until Israel stops annexing pieces of their land, their farms in the name of "security" there will be no rest.
so the Palestinians who decided one day to evacuate their homes for -fun-? (and were not coerced into it all by Israeli bombs/tanks in front of their homes? bombings? and threats? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David_Hotel_bombing) was it the scientologists harassing them? because it really doesn't make sense any other way.
"Alternative explanations have also been offered. For instance Peretz[6] and Gabbay[7] emphasize the psychological component: panic or hysteria swept the Palestinians and caused the exodus. They attributed this to diverse causes like breakdown of Palestinian leadership, atrocity stories and Jewish military victories. Glazer also says that 'Israeli public opinion has maintained that as the Arabs planned to massacre the Jews, when the Jews began winning the war the Arabs fled, fearing the same treatment would be suffered on them."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_the_1948_Palestinian_exodus
THIS COULD WORK "For any Israeli killed by a rocket fired from Gaza they should annex 1 hectare (or some other suitable amount) of Gaza into Israel proper." and "For any Palestinian killed by a rocket fired from Israel they should annex 1 hectare (or some other suitable amount) of Israel into Gaza proper." In the past week Palestinians have scored 120 hectares, and the Israeli's 5. I am guessing if this law was implemented 10 years ago Israel would be a small small fraction of what it is right now. I guess your idea might make them think a little. They probably wouldn't go for it though! sorry!:(
"The Palestinians try and kill as many babies, women, children and non-combatant civilians as possible. When it happens, they celebrate, just as they did on 9/11 and just as they did last week."
I'll just pretend you sound completely rational and not like a bigoted racist who is trying to dehumanize another severely oppressed group... say what? they're intentionally killing "babies"... wont' somebody save the children?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iman_al-Hams
Iman Darweesh Al Hams was a 13-year-old Palestinian schoolgirl killed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops in a "no man's" zone near the Philadelphi Route on 5 October 2004 in Rafah in the Gaza Strip.
Hit by more than a dozen bullets, her death was one of series of incidents cited by human rights groups as illustrative of a "culture of impunity" among the Israel Defense Forces.[2] It is also one of the few instances, among the hundreds of cases in which Palestinian children and teenagers have been killed by army fire, in which the army actually launched an investigation.[3] Ultimately however, no one was held responsible for her death.
There was no explanation from the officer or the court as to how al-Hams came to have 17 bullet wounds to her arms, legs, torso and face.
"God loves them more for every Jew they kill"
On Monday Israel ended a major offensive in which more than 120 Palestinians were killed.
The Israelis say the incursion was aimed at stopping rocket fire into Israel by Palestinian militants.
Two Israeli soldiers and an Israeli civilian were also killed over roughly the same period.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7281711.stm
Wow... I guess they must be getting a whole lotta god-loving for killing muslims over there?
So let me get this one straight, this is new to me, books don't tell you things. So it goes like... thousands "families" conveniently "evacuated" their "homes"... and "collaborated" with "Egypt" to "exterminate" their "neighbors"?
Wow. Some dedication right there.
While it's a bit bit funny, albeit strange (and bordering on crazy) that one would think that a land that they have no connections to, have never lived in, have never had an ancestor to live in except some sparse pre-historic connections somehow "belongs" to them (as an acquaintance of mine who was going on the birthright trip told me). By these measures I claim rights to half of Africa, East Asia and Southern Europe.
The sentimentality is mainly lost when you look at the colonial settlement patterns (as a means of assuring ownership of the land by planing people as little pawns) of early Americas and compare them to what has happened in Israel, I still see ads on TV saying you will paid a certain amount if you are Jewish and want to emigrate there... That's cool and stuff... I guess picking native areas across the world (native reserves in NA/Australia, Africa, Asia) and telling people if they're christian/white and emigrate they'll be paid has been out of fashion for a hundred years. Someone needed to do something!!
Palestinians Sue Government For Laser Cannons
"Residents of a southern Palestinian town want a real-life laser cannon to protect them against Israeli bomb, gun, mortar, physical settler attacks. And they're suing the Israeli national government, for failing to provide the ray gun defense. The U.S.-Israeli Tactical High Energy Laser project was widely considered to be the most successful energy weapon ever built. But the toxic chemicals needed to generate THEL's megawatts of power made the thing a logistical nightmare. It was scrapped. Now, the residents of Palestinian camps it back. And they're taking Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to court to make it happen."
In other news:
"The recent upsurge in violence saw at least 120 Palestinians killed in Israeli military strikes on Gaza.
Five Israelis have also been killed, including a civilian in a barrage of rocket fire from Gaza."
-http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7292676.stm
Statistically speaking, I say the Palestinians may need the magic laser a tad more.
the weapons killed 800-1200 lebanese civilians in 2006... or 18-27 Lebanese per Israeli killed during the said war.
that's a good count by weapons measure right? thumbs up?

Watching bit and pieces of the interview I have no doubt that she had not prepared for this, was just not a good choice of an interviewer given the audience and a host of other issues...
HOWEVER these comments are kind of interesting to keep in mind
"After she asked if someone could send her a message later on why she 'sucked so bad', I'm sure I could hear the person at the mic say something like 'it's because you're wearing a dress'
I could be mistaken though."
"And for those who think that sexist crap doesn't still happen, it does. Unconsciously mostly, but ALL THE TIME in social media.
I witnessed Jay Rosen's citizen journalism pal, Leonard Witt, again at the Computation + Journalism Symposium recently at GA Tech, introduce one of the very few women panelists at that particular conference, Ms. Culver from Pownce, by talking throughout the entire introduction time he was allotted ONLY about Twitter... fer chrissake, and barely once mentioning Ms. Culver's own product or work! And the sad part... he never even realized what he was NOT talking about.
Shame again."

No the point is that they're ALREADY doubtlessly tracking the citizens...
it's more a question of red pill/blue pill, do you want to hold the knowledge in your hand, or do you want to pretend it doesn't exist.

Better idea, maybe all Palestinians could become Jewish so they can enter their previous homes? Why didn't they think of that.
