how dare you call her "Lady" ?!?!? not sure about the acid part O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

i don't know of any religion who contributes to science and free art. to me, religion was "invented" in order to explain things humans couldn't at the time. and when you can blame god for everything, why explor? "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

i wonder what's the caloric outspray of beer sorry, off topic but had to O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

but , but , i mentioned it in my first reply !!!! "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

so why compare it to the "jewish world" ? a nation spreads all over the world with different languages cultures education levels and lifestyles... "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

so again i ask, why compare it to the "jewish world" ? there are jews all over the world, different cultures, education levels and lifestyles. O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

i'm starting to think she didnt mean what we thought she meant. i think her point was that jews were targetted because people were taught that they were responsible as a nation for all of the troubles. having all the money, influence etc. that is a well known fact. you know me, and i couldnt influence you even enough for you to jump with me O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

i'm not so sure Any slightly educated person knows that. the noble prize statistics are a fact, and so is the fact that the arab world is not at its peak (in this sense) at the moment. i think you should have mentioned this in the post, and also why compare it to jewish people? those jewish people are from all over the world and i would guess it has more to do with their education there and less with them being jewish. O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

you;ve misunderstood my question. i didnt ask how being jewish can make you the target of racist acts. i asked how being jewish means you'll be successful in life. sure there were many successful jewish people, but the fact that they were successful has nothing to do with their religion/race. again, people were killed by the Nazis even if their grandfather was half jewish (as you said), but it had nothing to do with their bank accounts. O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

my point exactly "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

no i dont know what you're talking about. again, if you are saying that its how some people think, i agree. if you're saying that its true, please explain how being jewish makes you a better buisiness man? i mean, if i wont tell you, you'll never know i'm jewish. not from how i act nor by the way i look. and yes, i'm pretty familiar with Hitler's plans, and i'd have more people in my family if he'd stick with his madgaskar plans... O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

i really dont like this post. the smell of racism (even if to my favor in this example) , disturbs me. one could say, the nobel prize comitee is controled by jews so thats why the list is as it is. arabs are responsible for many good things, including the invention of zero in math, algebra (which is an arab word) and lots of poetry. i'd delete this thread O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

what is it you know? that all jews are rich because they are jews, or that there are some people who believed it in the past 2000 years? there is no doubt jews (race, religion, whatever) were chased because of stupid things with no real background, but you seem to believe there is some kind of jewish cult who secretly controls the world. if there is such a thing, where do i sign? O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

that was my initial response, but when more than one person says that, its starting to feel wrong. i honestly think i would be ashamed to say something like that , even if i really believed it. O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

and there i was thinking this kind of stupidity has passed away from this world (and i don't care if you see it as a personal attack, what you said is nothing but stupid) you know who usually says: "some of my best friends are jews/black/gay etc." do you really think the fact your mother has jewish roots is why her family was successful? i'm jewish and i wouldn't mind getting money and influence just because of that. but sadly, i have to work full time, i pay tuition like everybody else (in europe i'd be getting paid to go to school, right?) etc. keeping your identity is a bad thing? i really don't see your point. if you really believe people are doing well just because of their religion, thats your problem. american jews are nothing like european jews which are very different from african jews etc. this is pretty much the only right thing in your post. O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

damn, where was i when all that money and influence were handed out ? what next? you'll reveal our secret plan to take over the world? give me a break... O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

is this solution legal? i'm pretty sure it will hold, but i doubt it meet any "safety belt" standard... O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

i'm very happy that you asked that, and you're right, what you see and hear from over there is not whats really going on. so i'll try to answer but keep in mind i represent myself, not israel, nor the palestinians. whats going on? well, from the average palestinian's point of view (and excuse me for not caring for the terrorist parts) life is pretty shitty. during the peace process, when there was a feeling of a better future, their economy (which rely mainly on israel) was much better and they pretty much took care of themselves in every civilian manner. now they suffer, and trust me when i tell you that i dont like it. you want to know whats the worst part? frustration that there is nothing to do in the short run. as i said, as soon as you try to ease their lives, the terrorist groups use it to carry out attacks. you're right when you say that its not israeli troops who should be inside palestinian towns to stop them, but when the PA doesnt do it, who will? in one word: disappointed. its not easy for any of us to give away parts of the lands to which we're connected with history faith and blood, and as i said, my family was living in Hebron for centuries before they were forced out in the 1936 riots. why disappointed? back when its started in 1992 most of israelis were torn between being cautious and giving it a chance, and as you know we've lost a prime minister because of that. but it went on. violations were over looked, there was a small palestinian army instead of a police force, no terror group was disarmed and corruption took over the PA. when the peace process reached its final stages and (camp david, in 2000) they were talking about the final agreement, arafat said no, when he didnt get everything. (and it was damn close to eveything from our point of view). we werent disappointed by the failure of negotiations, it happens. we were disappointed because we suddenly realized that it was a double standad game since the begining. "get all you can in peaceful deals, and when you can get no more go back to violence". there is a reason why most of the western world dont see Arafat as a leader anymore, he couldn't transform himself into a real leader. i don't doubt for a minute that things are tough for the palestinians, and its a wonder how israel manages to keep up a western lifestyle (even with US support, which btw egypt is getting almost the same). what is the solution? 2 separated states. and for the palestinians sake i hope it will be normal states with economical relations and not a closed border, because they can not support themselves at the moment. how to get there? i don't know. its hard to trust someone who has stabbed you in the back before. hope it helps. sorry for the long answers O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

your ideas are great, but sadly they have nothing to do with the real world... why? they want a seperate country , dont they? why doesnt the US open its borders with mexico? why can't a turkish worker work freely in france? why should they enter israel freely? the palestinians in the west bank are not israeli citizens. and the west bank was never annexed to israel. israeli arabs who are israeli citizens have the same rights (although less duties since they dont serve in the army). in the long run , you're right, the only way to remove their desire to kill me is for them to have a normal succesful life, but this takes time. at them moment, as soon as you give them a break, they use it like they have in recent years. the roadblocks and security fence is there for a reason. do you really think that if israel pulls out and lets the PA control their areas again (which was done in the Oslo process) , everything will be quiet? don't be naive. O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

not to start the endless debate of who was here first, but the palestinians (or most of them) dont want to control their own lands , they want to kick me from my house. and you know what ? before my family moved here (after being forcefully driven out of Hebron which is 99% palestinain today), there was nothing here but swamps. i'll be happy to give them their own state, but if thats not enough for them then i'm sorry, i wont accept it, especially with the way the chose to "fight". would you give away Rhode Island ? and in your case, its pretty clear who was there first... "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

yes, after drinking your levels are often screwed up. there are several theories for that, one of which i remember is that the alcohol suppresses glucose release from the liver. or as my doctor says, "you shouldn't drink but since i know you do, drink smart..." O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

its not THAT similar, but i really think they should have stayed with the traditional red black and green which are an arab symbol for nationality (red) and Islam (green & black) anyway, our flag is much nicer O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

you're right, they don't. maybe you should ask yourself which side is using all it's killing power and which side tries to target those who are responsible? (and i know it doesnt always work) take a look a couple of posts before this on and if you still think the UN is nuetral, well, take another look the UN peace keepers in lebanon did nothing most of the times because Hizbullah threatened to kill them. i agree, or at least i hope so. but a nation has to control it's freaks. they can't expect to have a country if they wont control them. when israel was established there were 2-3 armed organizations, and as you know, we needed everything we had, but a brave decision of the leaders made them disarm or risk civil war. not in any cost. you're right, it doesn't it has nothing to do with it and its two different things. the palestinian civilians suffer because its the only way to stop the terrorist that hides between 100 innocent workers on their way into israel. how would you stop him? "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

nor can the jews ? not that i have a problem being jewish, but there is a difference between israel and "the jews"... doesn't effect your life? why? because its not americans? many americans were hit here too. because its far away? terror spreads, and it did hit the US already. yes? then what will you do? i really hope you'll never have to see the after math of an explosion in a bus like i have. but something tells me that even if you do, you'll still blame Israel and not those who blew the bus up. go figure... O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

just got mine !!! bought it from www.profeel.com now the deal is, they're located in NY, but since i sent it to a friend of mine in CA, i didnt pay any tax. the whole deal (kit+case+256 card+extra bat +uv filter +S&H) was about 1100$ which is pretty sweet. anyway, its the second camera i buy from them and even if i could find somewhere a bit cheaper, i'll go with them since i know it will get there...
