I don't know whether to believe that or not. I could see how in a culture without the same Judeo-Christian moral foundation and with a restrictive government, that anti-government rhetoric takes the niche of obscene talk away from sexual words. It's a hilarious idea, scary if real. citation?
Oddly enough, this is something IE7 did (by displaying a very annoying mixed-content warning) but which Firefox 2 did not by default (though you could turn it on). I'm not sure about Firefox 3.
Yes, changing the subject line to "fuck you liar" all in caps really raises the level of debate here. What statement about you did I make that is demonstrably false? You said that I lied about you. What did I say? You've been big on invective but light on facts in this thread. And quoting someone and changing what they said to something else is more irritating than it is convincing. As to my being a moron, I don't think many objective observers would think that the level of discourse I've been maintaining comes across as betraying a dire lack of intelligence. You might disagree with me (and from all the "fuck you"'s you obviously do), but my arguments have been coherent.
I have done three days with about a one-hour nap in there somewhere. I had a mild hallucination at one point. I did four days on a different occasion some years later, lost it badly and collapsed. Not good.
I've heard of doing nutmeg but I don't know anyone who has actually done it. I know at least one person for every almost drug you could experience, but not nutmeg. The only thing I've heard is that you have to scrape the inside of a husk and it gives you really bad trips. Anyone got first / second hand experience with it?
Sorry to say it, but anyone who is living in the US or the UK right now and isn't paranoid, are the ones who are suffering from a detachment from reality!
What happens if someone would steal my laptop full of itunes files, and the one who stole it would send these all around and share them on p2p networks?
Well then you can trace the IP address the files were shared from and as they are yours, you have a handy clue for locating the thief with. Bonus!:D
What is wrong with someone making a huge amount of money from their work? If Britney releases a song that that is purchased by literally millions, played in clubs and on radio stations around the world, why shouldn't she get a large sum of money for that. She's produced something that millions of people want.
Well I'm glad that you accept you were wrong in your last statement about six months of rocket attacks, even if you do disingenuously use it as an opportunity to pretend you aren't aware of the circumstances of the renewed violence. This has been discussed thoroughly above. December was the long agreed end of the ceasefire. Hamas asked to extend the ceasefire with their condition being that supplies of food etc. could be brought into Gaza. Unfortunately the Israelis had blockaded Gaza during the ceasefire, preventing supplies from getting through and they also, a few weeks before the end of the ceasefire period, killed six members of Hamas.
For six months Hamas was sending rockets into Israel and Israel did nothing.
Have a look at this graph of rocket attacks. You'll notice the nearly complete absence of attacks during the six months of the ceasefire. The handful of rockets that were fired were presumably not from Hamas which, contrary to what you posted, appear to have observed the ceasefire as agreed.
Every nation on earth at one time belonged to different peoples, was taken over by force and a new nation created or an existing nation made larger.
The difference is that for nearly all those countries, this happened in the past and it is too late to do anything to help those populations that were displaced or murdered. Israel and Palestine is a process that is happening now and we still have a chance to prevent unmeasurable suffering and death.
You lied about me. Why would you think I'd engage you in conversation
I did not lie about you. I pointed it out that you were applying a double standard - condemning Hamas for not taking a non-violent response to the Israeli military cutting off food supplies, but exonerating Israel for bombing Palestine in response to the rockets from Palestine. As you choose not to answer a simple and straight-forward question about whether that was really what you had said, I'll take your attempt to disengage from our discussion on the pretence that I'm misrepresenting you as a implicit 'yes.'
I look forward to continuing to post facts in this discussion without your responses of calling people "fucking morons" and stating "you fail" when you see something you disagree with.
In other words, "I have DEFINITELY NOT called everyone engage in this discussion "fucking stupid", and by suggesting such, you are a LIAR."
Apologies. It just seems that you have called everyone in this thread so far a moron or some variant of. I'm sure there are some posters you have spared. Somewhere. Maybe if they posted in the last few minutes.;):)
You do realize that you're lying, right ? Egypt's border with Gaza is Egypt's to control.
It's currently patrolled by US troops and they certainly don't take their orders from the Egyptian government. Don't be so quick to accuse someone of lying. Particularly me.;)
If the UN had its way, Israel would be wiped off the map. Let's face it, Europeans hate Jews and will always hate Jews, even when Europeans themselves don't even see themselves as much as Christians any more. It's just irrational.
I have Jewish friends who abhor the actions of the Israeli government. Israel =/= Jews and criticism of Israeli actions is not dependent on "hating jews". Though the Israeli government's repeated pretence of speaking for Jews everywhere certainly doesn't do anything to reduce anti-semitism.

Approximately US$800,000 was how much Microsoft funded Obama's election campaign, outbidding Google by a mere US$10,000.

Ah, but more likely you have simply failed to understand how my post addresses the point very well.
I wont, of course, explain how. I'll just encourage people to go back and re-read both posts seeing as it's pretty obvious.

I think aliquis was asking why it was important whether they were girls or pre-pubecent boys. Careful with your sentence construction there, ionix.
Sometimes it's hard to have a conversation on Slashdot with the radical feminists leaping in all the time. :)
Excellent work posting a comment with zero information in it. Nice.

I'm not in favour of murdering anyone.
The difference is that for nearly all those countries, this happened in the past and it is too late to do anything to help those populations that were displaced or murdered. Israel and Palestine is a process that is happening now and we still have a chance to prevent unmeasurable suffering and death.
Anger at senseless deaths is not "hate". Calm justification of killing is a great deal closer.

I never thought of that aspect, but once pointed out it is obvious. Thank you for posting that.
So then you are proposing non-violence on the part of one faction (the Palestinians) but not on the part of the other. Is that correct?
