April 29, 200421 yr WW 3? Nonsense. This has been going on for decades now and it hasn't started anything worth gettng upset over if you dont live right there. They'll go on killing each other, we'll go on taking sides and the sun will come up tomorrow. I wish I had you optimism. Israel didn't have weapons of mass destruction 20 years ago. Now with nukes, you never know how far they will go. As 4E has stated on many occasions, what is Israel to do when their kids are being murdered by terrorists? People can only take so much. Watching synagogues and buses get blown up doesn't help a peace process. Either does watching missiles destroy your homes and mosques.
April 29, 200421 yr How is their being homeless Israel's problem? If you came home, and there was a homeless guy living in your house, and you told him to leave, and he says he has nowhere to go, his family won't let him live with them, are you now responsible to feed, shelter and care for him? According to most liberals those people who have money and a warm place to sleep are the reason that other people are homeless. They believe that life is a zero-sum-game and that even the most modest of the haves are evil oppressors of the have-nots.

No, but in civilized countries we feed, cloth, and shelter the homeless.
April 29, 200421 yr No, but in civilized countries we feed, cloth, and shelter the homeless. Ok so lets send Jesse Jackson to the West Bank and have him set up a soup kitchen. We'll force them to convert to baptists if they want a cot to sleep on.

According to most conservatives, the homeless are worthless bums trying to leech off of the working people and should be left to die.
April 29, 200421 yr According to most conservatives, the homeless are worthless bums trying to leech off of the working people and should be left to die. The majority of them are alcoholics and drug abusers who should clean up and get a stinking job. People who lay around in an alley drinking cheap booze out of a paper bag all day every day are going to have a hard time arousing any sympathy from me.
April 29, 200421 yr No, but in civilized countries we feed, cloth, and shelter the homeless. Only to the point where we can afford to do so! And not when those homeless seek to destroy you and take over your country!
April 29, 200421 yr Here's a nice link to racist jews. They are "dismayed" at the assassination of Hamas leaders. Credibility factor: ZERO!!
April 29, 200421 yr They are "dismayed" at the assassination of Hamas leaders. Credibility factor: ZERO!! Credibility factor...LESS THAN ZERO!!!!
April 29, 200421 yr They are "dismayed" at the assassination of Hamas leaders. Credibility factor: ZERO!! Why? (Just asking...)

People who lay around in an alley drinking cheap booze out of a paper bag all day every day are going to have a hard time arousing any sympathy from me. Like I said :headshake cut backs in social services for the mentally ill, manufacturing jobs leaving the US, US corporations outsourcing jobs to foreign countries, probably have nothing to do with it. There all lazy bums, especially their kids. Let them knock an old lady over the head, then we'll over three dquares a day and adequate housing.
April 29, 200421 yr Why? (Just asking...) Zero with me anyways. I think killing terrorists is a good idea & I'm not alone.

There all lazy bums, especially their kids. Let them knock an old lady over the head, then we'll over three dquares a day and adequate housing. My family was within days of being homeless back in 1982. My dad was laid off from US Steel in 1981 and there wasn't much in the way of work to be found. My dad did as much side work and odd jobs as he could to keep the family afloat. My grandparents here would never allow us to live on the streets. My grandparents in Ireland offered to pay for plane tickets to Ireland and give my dad the family farm. We were lucky that we had a supportive family on both sides, not all families are.

If someone loses a job then ends up drinking a .40 oz of Colt .45 out of a paper bag in an alley soon after they aren't all that strong a person are they?
April 29, 200421 yr Wow. If someone loses a job then ends up drinking a .40 oz of Colt .45 out of a paper bag in an alley soon after they aren't all that strong a person are they? His point (and an accurate point at that) are that all homeless are not drunks.
April 29, 200421 yr Credibility factor...LESS THAN ZERO!!!! Are they anti-semite jews? I am merely showing that even among Jews; this is not a simple situation. This type of debate goes on in Israel all the time. What is the best path to peace? If Apu, Nuke, and 4E were all in Gaza, they would have plenty of Jews and Palestinians that will agree with them.
April 29, 200421 yr Why would anyone criticize the elimination of a terrorist/mass murderer? Maybe because it will incite more pointless violence? (Just a guess as I don't know for certain.)
April 29, 200421 yr His point (and an accurate point at that) are that all homeless are not drunks. Yeah, some of em shoot up with drugs and others bug me for money while I am walking downtown. I always give a few bucks to street musicians though. Most of them are 100 times better than the crap you see on MTV and they take requests.
April 29, 200421 yr Why would anyone criticize the elimination of a terrorist/mass murderer? There is a difference between assasination and eliminating someone through legal channels. Again, would you favor bombing O'Hare if a terrorist was at your desk? Civilized countries follow international law.
April 29, 200421 yr Maybe because it will incite more pointless violence? (Just a guess as I don't know for certain.) The "palis" have shown taht they don't need a reason to be violent!
April 29, 200421 yr The "palis" have shown taht they don't need a reason to be violent! I've asked before and it wasn't answered, so I will ask again... What is a 'pali?' I know you use it to refer to a Palestinian, but is it a common slang term, is it something you came up with, etc.?
April 29, 200421 yr Yeah, some of em shoot up with drugs and others bug me for money while I am walking downtown. I always give a few bucks to street musicians though. Most of them are 100 times better than the crap you see on MTV and they take requests. BTW Nuke, one of the largest populations of homeless in the late 60s and early 70s was VietNam vets who couldn't get a job because employers were afraid to hire them. There are still a lot of homeless vets whose benefits have either been cut or haven't kept up with inflation. The VA hospitals have been overcrowded and have been pushing sick people out the door. Are there some bums out there? Of course. When wuld you like to spend money on them? Before they become homeless? WHen they are homeless? Wait until they kill an old lady for food money? Eventually you'll pay.
April 29, 200421 yr There is a difference between assasination and eliminating someone through legal channels. Again, would you favor bombing O'Hare if a terrorist was at your desk? Civilized countries follow international law. If Arafat were standing in front of me, I'd shoot him in his face. If I happenned to hit someone who was standing beside him, I'd keep shooting til I killed Arafat. Sometimes ya gotta do what accomplishes the "greater good". Say for example you could have killed Hitler, but in doing so, you'd have to kill a couple hundred innocent people, but you'd save 12 million lives...what would YOU do?
