    I'm curious, who made the units for GM and Ford?

    Depends on the year, model and a few other things. The one in my car is done by samsung(GM suv). My sisters dodge pickup uses nokia, I know ford used a bunch of companies but it made a huge mess in terms of repairs. So companies seem to be standardizing it.

    Well, I guess that makes it right; Israel clearly has zero moral obligation to avoid targeting hospitals if the Geneva Convention says it's okay.

    Consider the matter settled.

    One of these days you'll figure out the rest. Remember that in Israel's case, they could level Shifia hospital. It's illegally being used as a hamas c&c structure, but they don't do it.

    I'm sure you'll also have aged in a few years, and realize why your second sentence proves that you're the a-typical liberal who when faced with something they don't like, they revert to ad-homs.

    I'm pretty sure that GM, Ford, Chrysler, and all the Japanese automakers will team up for this one, simply because they're not using the same system in the JP models, doesn't mean they won't in the future.

    It still doesn't excuse Israel ignoring the targeting said hospital though.

    When a group fires from the grounds of a hospital, religious building, or homes, under the geneva convention those buildings automatically become military targets. There is no ignoring the geneva convention, what you've just posted is that hamas is committing war crimes in order to try and sway opinion.

    So, if it's 5% effective, why is it getting 80-90% of all the incoming rockets from Gaza? It appears that the H:M ratio is much higher than that, and it's "smart" enough to figure out which rockets are not going to land in a civilian area.

    That liberal arts community is the same group that's happily pushed nuclear research back 30 years, so they can go fuck themselves, while sipping their latte in their ivory towers, while protesting capitalism.

    *Before anyone gets all huffy about secondhand smoke being a problem I have experience with it. I was a non-smoker who roomed for a couple of years at college with a pack a day smoker. When I moved out I found I'd become addicted and started smoking (stupid, I know).

    No you had another reason, you're just placing blame on those around you for smoking. Whether it was stress, it seemed like that was the likely cause, or something else. My father smoked a pack to two per-day, for close to 15 years. My grandparents(all three that were still alive) smoked upwards of 1-3 packs per day, until they died. I never became addicted, I had no desire to smoke. The only thing I missed was the smell of burning tobacco, and fresh picked. That's probably because as a teenager I used to pick the stuff(meaning I got all the crap oozing from the plants on me), but again I didn't start smoking because of it either.

    That's cute. Can you explain then why non-jews can vote in their elections if they're a citizen of the country? Can you explain why the leader of hamas, has two daughters living in Israel in which they are both citizens. Can you explain why their population has increased 2500% in the last 20 years. Can you explain why israeli's have no problem with the west bank? Can you explain why israeli's have no problem hiring palestinians, but people of the BDS insanity would rather put these companies out of business; especially when the palestinians who work there get excellent wages, healthcare, and so on. Can you explain why Israel goes out of their way to treat injured, critically wounded, and so on palestinians, but many palestinians will respond with "I'm glad they saved son/daughter/husband/etc, and I hope they grow up to be a martyr."

    Can you explain why said "racist" country is the only democratic country in the region with arabs, druze, and so on in the kenesset, can you explain why said "fascist country" only seems to have a problem when the various terrorist organizations deliberately target civilians. This is why in places like sderot playgrounds are indoors, and so are the schools in bomb hardened structures. Because the palestinians were targeting children.

    I'll wait with baited breath.

    Four attacks on well known refugee centers within three days. Does anyone still believe that such attacks are some random accidents?

    You mean that the palestinians have fired over 2500 rockets in the last week and a half that there's 0 chance that they're going to go awry and land in their own territory. Come on, there's several hundred incidents of this previous to the latest round of them firing rockets. And that was in the first quarter of this year.

    This isn't rocket surgery, not by a long shot. Hamas really is "the bad guys." Haven't even started on the tunnel stuff yet, and them using them as weapons storage.

    They bomb hospitals under UN protection with the morality of the old testament!

    You mean the hospital where snipers were shooting at soldiers? Bet you also turn a blind eye to them transporting terrorists around in ambulances. You know that automatically makes it a military target. I'm surprised you didn't try trotting out the story of the school, where a bunch of people died the other day. Where various groups, including hamas started screaming "it was an israeli shell(ever see a shell not leave an impact crater?)" And surprise, it comes out today that the people were killed by hamas and a "errant" rocket. But I'm sure that you're quite thrilled to hear about the UN schools in gaza having rockets inside.
