[QUOTE="ShadowMoses900"][QUOTE="Darkman2007"] sometimes when I argue with people like that, I start seeing Hertzl was right, we can't change them no matter what we do :P oh well , people who one could call Anti-Jewish make the Jewish state stronger with their hatred , even if they are usually not clever enough to realise that themselves.Darkman2007
Yep I guess your right, I'm a Jewish American (ethnicallyand culturalybut not so much reilgiously)and people like him are ridiculed here. There was a news guy on CNN called Rick Sanchez and he got fired because he said some bigoted things about Israel and Jews. I would like to go to Israel though, don't know how safe it is but it would be cool to be in the land of my ancestors and see all the histroical sites.
well sometimes I feel as though American Jewry is a bit sensitive , maybe a bit over sensitive, or maybe its just that AIPAC goes a bit crazy with calling things Anti Semetic, when sometimes they aren't. just remember that if you actually go to Israel, most Jews in Israel are quite different to Jews in the US, or at least the stereotypes.I know Israel has the Orthodox Jews and they determine who is a Jew based off of the mother being Jewish(Even though in the time of Moses it was the Father) and while I disagree with that defination it doesn't bother me because alot of Jews there are secular or reformed. I'm not aware of any stereotypes relating to Jews in Israel, here in the US Jews are stereotyped as being cheap and greedy people.

actually , unlike the US, reform Judaism is a very minor thing in Israel , people are either secular or are orthodox, there are also what are called "Masortim" , which are somewhat inbetween (they dress modestly, prey , keep the sabbath , but are quite happy with TVs , computers, etc). but then ,even if one is "secular" , because the culture consists of the religion to some extent, its a cultural thing, kind of how alot of people who are not Christian in the west still celebrate Christmas and Easter.. what I mean by stereotypes is mostly the fact that Jews in the US are generally liberal, maybe even on the left, wheres thats not the case in Israel (in fact the left is almost dead and has been for the last 10 years)[QUOTE="ShadowMoses900"][QUOTE="Darkman2007"] sometimes when I argue with people like that, I start seeing Hertzl was right, we can't change them no matter what we do :P oh well , people who one could call Anti-Jewish make the Jewish state stronger with their hatred , even if they are usually not clever enough to realise that themselves.VanHelsingBoA64

So it's okay for you to say that Jews run the media, but not Rick Sanchez?I didn't say they ran the media, just that the Film industry (only one part of the media, there are many parts) was started by Jewish immigrants who came to America from Europe (known as Ashkenazi Jews). Basically the Jews got kicked out of Israel by the romans and the one's who fled to Germany and Eastern Europe became known as Ashkenazi, that's why alot of Jews have white skin and some have blue eyes. They were living in a colder environment than before, but they didn't intermarry too much and still kept their racial/ethnicity. Some Jews stayed in the middle east or fled to the meditteranian countries or Spain and Italy, they are called Spehardic Jews.
Now when the Ashkenazi immigarted the US they had difficulty getting jobs, and when some of them moved to LA they couldn't find work due to discrimination. At this time the film industry hadn't caught on yet and people didn't think it was likely it ever was, so that's part of the reason why Jews got into it. It was kinda only available option, also there was Yiddish Theater that many Jews did for money. I never said they controlloed the media, I was just pointing out an histroical fact that the film industry was started by Jews and they probably liked to help each other out, kinda like how alot of the New York fire fighthers are Irish, same thing.
Honestly, Shadowmoses, I was embarassed of being on the same side as you in this argument. Please try so it doesn't happen again. pie-junior
Well glad to see that you were on the good side this time, I don't know who you are though. I take it you know me from SW? :P
[QUOTE="pie-junior"]This is now a Q/A session about Israel. I have one! q1: How do you get all the sand out of your taint, everyday?themajormayorWhat's a taint?
It's a slur word that describes a part of the body. I think that's what he was trying to say, it's an insult. But mabey he misspelled, I'm not sure. And Israel isn't just sand, Jeruslam for instance is a little rocky but nestled in a vibrant fertile area with lot's of trees and and plants and green hills. It even snows in Israel in the mountains, only place that would have lots of sand is the southern region of Israel which is justa giant desert.
So Iran gets 1 nuke, big deal. Israel has hundreds, pakistan had a bunch, so does india. I'm pretty sure the iranian government isn't planning to nuke anywhere, it's merely a bargaining chip to protect them from foreign invasions in a desperate attempt to shake off the reprehensible sanctions placed on the country since 1979. The USA and every other country in the west supported Saddam when he INVADED iran just for a landgrab in khuzestan. The former head of Mossad himself said that if he were part of the iranian government, he would want a nuke too. I think the thousands of MISSING soviet nukes should be a bigger concern than iran getting 1 nuke 60+ years after the USA got thousands. Also, I lived in iran. The population cannot rely on ordinary methods of providing electricity because every couple of weeks or so every district in Tehran lost power because there wasn't enough for the whole city. They NEED nuclear power to provide the necessary infrastructure for their growing population. shakmaster13Iran might feel threatend, I wouldn't be surprised , and yet at the same time, its created essentially another enemy with no good reason by making the death of Israel part of its policy. ask Israelies to look to their northen border and see Hezbollah (essentially Iran with a Lebanese mask), and their ongoing (though apparently worsening) relations with Hamas, and you can't blame people in Israel for being worried, very worried in fact.

I can understand why Iranians would be suspicious with the US with things like the support for Saddam (even though there was the Iran Contra affair, which hilariously Israel was involved in) and maybe even the European powers if one was to go further back. at the same time, its not as though Iran is most aggressive towards Britain , even its attitude to the US is relatively lightweight compared to its attitude to Israel , which frankly I can't see why other than religious reasons, and it essentially added itself an enemy it didn't need or didn't have to create, you know that. Im sure Iranians get told in the news about how Israel is some monster thats trying to get them , but frankly, Israel wouldnt care about the nuclear program if the relations were normal or at the very least, not extremely negative (Israel has no issues with Pakistan having nukes, despite them not having any relations)
Despite the 3rd place finish, he's still projected to get the same amount of delegates, 7, as the other 2. CNN Results
Also, because of the organization and strategy, Romney and Paul could both get the majority of the delegates from Iowa when it's time for the RNC.
A sidenote, Santorum won't continue this success as he spent an entire year and all of his money and time in Iowa pandering to his evangelicals. He won't have that kind of time or money for the other states. Also, he's not as good at raising money, something imperative for a campaign, as Romney or Paul. Romney is the Establisment guy with all the PAC money and big backers while Paul is great at generating a movement and grassroots money by the bushel full. Establishment and status quo vs. non-traditional and grassroots for change. The other 4 candidates had better repair their image or they're finished. It looks like it's going to be a long drawn out battle between Romney and Paul. Something Romney isn't wanting.

I agree with you, if Ron Paul was in office we would have probably never caught Bin Laden. He wouldn't have pursued him and would just isolate the US from the rest of the world entirely, even in trade. That would cause a HUGE amount of problems!
He's not an isolationist, he's a non-interventionist. That means he's still into diplomacy, trade, and war if we're attacked. It just means that we're not into starting wars for things like oil and b.s. reasons. All this isolationist talk is b.s. mainstream media rhetoric aimed at attacking his credibility just like blacking him out from coverage and debates and digging up crap that's false and blaming it on him. But keep on spreading the lies, it just shows that people fear him which means more respect which means more coverage which means more votes which means.........Ron Paul lost to Santorum...

the point is free will and determination dont mean jack when the system is designed against you. For instance i would say probably about 100% of prisoners want to be free, have free will and are pretty determined... under your logic, they are all free and not in prison now because of those factors alone. But yet, they are still all in prison, because the system is designed to keep them there.
When the north swooped in and freed the slaves, it was a small minority that wanted to abolish slavery, not the majority of southerners. So you are saying we should have never freed the slaves essentially, because they wanted to be free, had free will and were determined... but since they were just a small portion of the southern population that couldnt be vocal about it because they would be beaten and/or killed we should have done nothing?
Are you telling me there there isnt a minority of people that feel disenfranchised and are afraid to speak out due to the threat of violence in arab countries? To be honest the similarities between that and the freeing of the slaves seem pretty glaring.
And the USA is the world police.

I dont know what lincoln though and it doesnt matter what lincoln thought, it matters what we think now. I think fighting a war to free the slaves was a good idea, how about you?
