  5. Re:Not my cup of tea on The Trilogy as One · · Score: 1

    However, if your main criticism is "it was boring" then you really need to re-evaluate the film. If the acting were bad, the plot simple and the effects horrible, then you can say it was a bad movie. But "boring" is too much the result of either too little imagination, sleepiness/depression, or misunderstanding.

    Or it was simply boring. Tastes differ.

    I'm pretty sure that Israelis wouldn't fuck with anybody if people stopped blowing them up. I've never lived there, but talked to quite a few people who have, and have family members and that seems to be a general consensus amongst them.

    That should be their new slogan, "Stop blowing us up and we'll stop taking your land."


    Of course the slogan of the other side is "Stop stealing our land and we'll stop blowing you up" - clever point there bub.

    The UN offered the Palestinian people the same land which they're now complaining about not having back when Israel was formed.

    They stole 50% of the country to give to someone else and said "here have the rest" Of course they rejected and attacked.
    How would you like it if someone drew a line down the US and gave one part away to another country because of superstition?

    Just so you remember, Israel is given that large defense budget because they've been attacked more times than any other nation in the last 55 years, all by their surrounding neighbors.

    Because after the suffering their people experienced during the second world war, they now believe they perpetrated all kinds of crimes and get away with it.

    Your point is well taken - Israelis have killed Palestinians in the violence. However, it should be noted that there has never been a strike against an unimportant figure. Never do you see in the news: Israel kills busload of Palestinian schoolchildren. Why?

    Because you live in a country where they censor TV? (Make no mistake, capitalism is a greater censor than any dictator. Can't upset the sponsors, can't upset the viewer!)

    For instance the in 19th October 2000 resolution, UN Human Rights Commision writes they:
    "Strongly condemns the disproportionate and indiscriminate use of force in violation of international humanitarian law by the Israeli occupying Power against innocent and unarmed Palestinian civilians...including many children, in the occupied territories, which constitutes a war crime and a crime against humanity;..."
    and "...that the deliberate and systematic killing of civilians and children by the Israeli occupying authorities constitutes a flagrant and grave violation of the right to life and also constitutes a crime against humanity"

    Both parties are slaughters who would rather kill (because of the voices in their head) than make peace. And Isreal keeps ignoring UN resolutions, and have weapons of mass destruction - why hasn't the US invaded them? No oil perhaps?

  16. Re:Copyright treaties in occupied countries on RIAA/MPAA vs. xMule Author, EarthStation 5 · · Score: 1

    But who is responsible for enforcing copyright in an occupied country? Palestine has been recognized by the UN as an occupied territory, with Israel as the occupying power. With little real power, is the Palestinian Authority still supposed to enforce copyright restrictions? Or is that for Israel to do?

    And of course Israeal has been ignoring UN resolutions at the rate of about 1 a year for the last 30 years, so P2p should be homefree, eh?
