    How we die is unimportant. What is important is how we live, that we have control over.

    They go the same place that everyone goes. No one knows where that is. That is if they go anywhere at all. Most likely they just cease to exist. We have no reason or proof to believe anything about what happens to people after death. No one really knows anything, they just like to believe in what ever makes them feel better. Death is a part of life. With out it how would we know how precious life really is. Light cannot exist with out darkness.

    How do you tell the difference?
  7. beowulf
    Right but that doesn't mean it was ok to setup such a one sided Gov. that only favored the Jews.

    They were a minority and the Arabs were the majority. While the Ottoman Turks held that territory. Then the British pushed out the Turks during WWI. During the British mandate Jews were allowed to immigrate to Palestine with very little restraint. There was a very big push by the Zion commission to bring as many Jews to that area in order to take over and make Palestine the Jewish national home. The Arabs complained to British about this and the British denied that that was happening. Just because there were Jews living there doesn't mean that they were in control and didn't give them the right to take over like they did.

    you assume a lot. Morality and religion don't necessarily go hand in hand. Just because some one is religous doesn't mean they are very moral.

    The government for that area should have been created on the premise of equal representation by the different people living there. It isn't that way. I don't really side with either group. The Palestinians would get more with diplomacy then terrorism, the Israelis were wrong to begin with.

    I fail to see how that bolsters their claim to Isreal. Just be because the were there so many years ago doesn't mean it should always be theirs. Just because it says it is theirs in one of their books doesn't help either. Their claim is very weak.

    You might want to check out this book "One Palestine Complete" by Tom Segev It gives a very interesting view on the history of Palestine from 1917 to 1948.

    That is a bullshit argument. By that reasoning we should give all the land we stole from Native Americans back to the Native Americans. YES they did just walk back in and take what they perceived as theirs. They should have wiped out the people already living there if they didn't want a prolonged fight.

    The Palestinians are upset because the Jews basically immigrated there in mass and took over their country. During 1917 to 1948 Palestine was under British mandate and they mostly favored the Jews. This allowed the Jews to immigrate there and build business and prosper much more then the Palestinians. I would not be too happy if I were a Palestinan, but that in no way gives them the right to do what they have done. Terrorism is never the right thing to do.

    I call bullshit on this one. You need to read up on the history of Zionism and the Jews struggle to create a national home. It started waaaay before the holocaust. The holocaust just helped accelerate it.
  16. beowulf
    I am sure there will be some Jews accusing you of being and antisemite. I for one agree with you.
  17. beowulf
    ummm he said it better then I did.
  18. beowulf
    On my Odyssey it is inside the reserve flap.
  19. beowulf
    Ya know I really think this guy is nuts, but I don't really see how denying the Holocaust is a crime.
  20. beowulf
    Sounds good to me. Don't drink and drive if you don't want to look like a fool.
  21. beowulf
    no problem It all starts to sound the same.
  22. beowulf
    And you expect a truthfulness from politicians???

    At one time or another

    I find it strange that people want to hold the USA up to standards that no country in the world lives up to.

    I think you should at least finish your degree before making any decision on what you want to do for a living. That degree will always be with you whether you make use of it or not. It will allow you more options.
