Re: israelis have historically denied the very existence of palestinians and palestine
Loki...
....???
>>"The first widespread use of "Palestinian" to refer to the nationalist concept of a Palestinian people by the Arabs of Palestine began prior to the outbreak of World War I but until the establishment of Israel in 1948 the term Palestinian was used by Jews and foreigners to describe the inhabitants of Palestine – including its Jewish residents and had only begun to be used exclusively for Arabs at the turn of the 20th century, and the first demand for national independence was issued by the Syrian-Palestinian Congress on 21 September 1921. After the exodus of 1948, and even more so after the exodus of 1967, the term came to signify not only a place of origin, but the sense of a shared past and future in the form of a Palestinian nation-state."<<
How does the site in any way speak to the YES very hate-fueled and utterly irrelevant attempts to justify oppression of a peole based on the idea that they.... what? shouldn't be called "Palestinian"?
I am thoroughly confused.
It's really simple: don't be bigoted. Recognize that there are good&bad people of every stripe and that acculturation affects behavior and you're all good.
If you keep saying "Therrain't no such thang as no palestinians" I'll just keep saying "these are the belches of a racist asshole; go kill yourself and do make haste".
Deal with that shit directly or amend your stupid views. I don't see how it could be any simpler. "There aren't any Palestinians" is not an answer to anything. The identity is not in dispute, is it?

I am watching the video, and it seems like the guy doesn't have any real evidence. I mean, at one point he justifies his theory due to the amounts knobs and buttons found in the cockpit. I was hoping that possibly I missed something, due to my natural bias against CS, and that if you listed what you thought was probable, that it would further the level of discussion And that we could move beyond the empty bleating on both sides

The system is completelyv fucked with a bunch of fake poltitians. As Immortal Technique put it:

I pledge no allegiance, nigga fuck the president's speeches
I'm baptized by America and covered in leeches
The dirty water that bleaches your soul and your facial features
Drownin' you in propaganda that they spit through the speakers
And if you speak about the evil that the government does
The Patriot Act'll track you to the type of your blood
They try to frame you, and say you was tryna sell drugs
And throw a federal indictment on niggaz to show you love
This shit is run by fake Christians, fake politicians
Look at they mansions, then look at the conditions you live in
damn I love that song.......what's the name of it again?
someone should post the whole lyrics
anyways.....Fuck the fake polititians, we should be talking about ways to revolt. We should boycott with our money, and boycott all these fucked up firms that have been getting payback at our expense.
Not to mention the whole orchestration of Perl Harbor II.
The purpose of terrorism is to inglict fear. You have to be pretty fucking scared to go to war (or pretty stupid), so who has won the war if we spent close to a trillion bucks fighting an enemy that could be fought by changing our fucked up policies.
Oh yeah, and some dumb bitch and a bunch of other fake ass polititians voted for the war. To my knowledge, a Republican who did not vote for the war recently lost in the last elections.

Nuggets' Anthony nabbed on DUI suspicion
Kill...
By ARNIE STAPLETON, AP Sports Writer Mon Apr 14, 6:03 PM ET
DENVER - NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony was arrested early Monday on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, hours after his worst game of the season. The Denver Nuggets forward was arrested on Interstate 25, police said. He was alone in the car and pulled over for weaving and not dimming his lights.
ADVERTISEMENT
Detective Sharon Hahn said Anthony failed a series of sobriety tests. He was charged with DUI, then taken to police headquarters before being released to a "sober responsible party," Hahn said. Anthony is due in court May 14.
Mark Warkentien, the Nuggets' vice president of basketball operations, said the team was aware of the situation but declined comment. The Nuggets did not practice Monday and Anthony wasn't available. He's expected at practice Tuesday.
Anthony's attorney, Dan Recht, said his client consented to a blood test, but results won't be available for about two weeks.
"Carmelo apologizes to his fans, the Denver community, his teammates and the Nuggets organization for the distraction this is causing them," Recht said.
The Nuggets (49-32) moved a half game ahead of Golden State for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference on Sunday night when they beat Houston 111-94. Denver can clinch a fifth straight postseason berth by beating Memphis at home Wednesday night or if the Warriors lose at Phoenix on Monday night or against Seattle on Wednesday night.
Anthony was held to 11 points on 3-of-14 shooting against a Rockets team that was missing defensive specialist Shane Battier. Anthony did extend his NBA-best streak of double-digit games to 206.
On Saturday, he committed a flagrant foul against Utah's Deron Williams that changed the course of a close game. The Jazz went on to win 124-97.
Anthony was named an All-Star starter for the first time this year. He's fourth in the NBA in scoring (25.8) and is averaging a career-best 7.4 rebounds.
Last season, he was involved in a brawl at Madison Square Garden. After J.R. Smith was collared on his way to a breakaway basket in the closing minutes of a rout, Anthony, then the league's leading scorer, dropped the New York Knicks' Mardy Collins with a punch that drew a 15-game suspension.
In February, Anthony was ticketed in Colorado for driving 25 mph over the posted speed limit. A hearing is set for next month.

Apple and Sony settle with Japanese battery burn victims
Filed under: Laptops
Remember that Japanese couple who sued Apple and Sony over one of those famous burning batteries? Well it looks like the companies have decided to settle, and will pay the fire-damaged pair a total of ¥1.3 million (or around $13,000). Of course, this is a bit less than the absurdly low $16,700 the two were asking, but percentage-wise they didn't make out too badly. During the trial, Apple Japan apparently accepted responsibility for the incident but couldn't justify settling out of court due to a request for "excessive compensation," while Sony maintained its distance by suggesting a link between the battery and burns wasn't clear. We're sure the guy who made the trip to the hospital thinks otherwise.
[Thanks, Jackie]

Hillary Clinton's nuanced, subtle approach to guns and gun control
Cornel
The typical "mommy" Democrat thinks guns are icky and scary. These are the kind of Democrats who lose national elections - big time. Barack Obama is that kind of Democrat.
Hillary Clinton supports a wide variety of reasonable laws concerning guns - up to and including requiring that guns be locked and stored separately from ammunition, which, in my opinion, goes too far (since one of the traditional legitimate uses for guns is self defense - and this pretty much negates that).
But what Hillary Clinton does NOT do is demonize guns and gun owners. She doesn't talk about gun owners as if they suffered from some kind mental illness or came from another planet. She doesn't talk about gun owners as THEM.
There is neither inconsistency nor pandering involved in Clinton's position on guns. It is just common sense and good politics. Reasonable gun control laws do not interfere with reasonable gun ownership - any more than requiring people to have drivers licenses and to register their cars interferes with people owning and driving cars.
"Mommy" Democrats really do think that "gun-owner" = "gun-nut". Look at the crap that people are posting here in this tribe. Any Democrat who thinks like that will probably never be elected president. Hillary Clinton doesn't think that and doesn't talk that way, although she has a strong and consistent record in favor of gun-control.

Of course it's not a joke.
My jokes are funny. "Ban Yoni" = not even vaguely humorous. I don't find myself able to buy your excuse, on that tip, personally. Seems pretty weak to pretend it was a joke when there isn't a hint of humor in your OP on that thread. You're capable of wit; there was none demonstrated in "Can we ban Yoni?" that I could find.
But that's really not at issue; if you want to use "troll" to invalidate discourse, you're totally free to do that. It will, though, firm up my point for me. No need to give me freebies, really, is there?

>>Loki, during the course of this thread you've called people "shithead bigot", "racist", and "hatemonger" -- all nouns. why are these okay in your books, but not "troll"?....if accurate it's neither an epithet nor a slur. <<
I don't seek absolution for my own behavior, but rather a climate in which even the arguments of surly or unlikeable people are answered with actual polemic as opposed to blandishment.
Imagine "Republican" in the spot of "troll" - or any other label, and maybe it will become clearer what I'm driving at.
