Why do people get so irritated by American Citizens receiving Welfare Checks from the Govt.. but don't get pissed about NATIONS receivng money from your paychecks?

Send the money to 3rd world nations instead of supporting the ridiculous loan schemes they burden them with.

Also, if Ann COulter is to be believed, Cnada is bordered by a country of 300 million, half of whom think we are 'lucky that the US lets us exist on the same continent':p

I know you are a strong supporter of Israel, though I sometimes wonder if that's because you actually think there's a strong argument for supporting them or if it's more like supporting a close family member, even if they've done something very wrong. On most other topics you're one f the more reasonable posters here, but the post of yours that I just called crap was exactly that.

Psst, I think Meuge is Jewish.

I'm aware of that - thus the family analogy:p

I have always said the Israelis are some of the most ruthless and dangerous murderers there are.. They kept the old testament teachings because they like the revenge philosophy

And the same can be said about the Palestinians. So?
Another useless Israel/Palestine thread.
Israelis shoot innocent children, Palestinians use children and even mentally challenged children as suicide bombers.

Israelis rarely target innocent civilians, Palestinians always target innocent civilians. The Palestinians want to inflict as much damage as possible. Also, it is debatable whether or not the Israelis actually do target civilians. There is no question about it on the Palestinian side.

That is stupid. They kept their teachings because they are in no position to tell God that they don't feel like believing in Him anymore. Oh, and I have alwaays though that people should think before they post. No matter how screwed up and pessimistic your worldview is, no one dislikes Jews because they revenge (psst, when is the last time that happened?). That fine distinction goes to the other ME countries, who DO try to kill the Jews for no other reason than land, power, money, and most of all hate.

Tell that to the Bulldozer drivers who demolish the homes of the innocent in the area where a suicide bomber lived

It would be just the same as if you lived in an apartment complex and your neighbors son bombed an abortion clinic so the local police used a bulldozer and destrouyed his home and yours too

Yes, but it is another topic. They were not choosing what to believe as much as not understanding and following their leaders. In any case, their beliefs have helped them out a lot, as this thread proves. I would argue that they should embrace Christianity, because it is the fulfillment of their prophecy, the whole Old Testament points to Jesus. Anybody who has studied the Bible cannot disprove that. But back on topic, the Jews are great and we should be happy to have them on our good side.

I have great respect for Jewish achievement and dilligence.. I am not a Jewophile :) BUT I sincerely admire their strength and courage and desire to succeed...

I just do not like people who claim to be representatives of God, and suppposedly God's chosen people, who are seem so violent...

I know, some things they do disgust me, but I have to believe that politics are the same there and here. Most Americans would never dream of a whole lot of what our politicians do, maybe it is the same there. Hopefully. :)

She wasn't shot in the head... she was run over by a bulldozer.

In either case, there is a f-ing video from the inside of the bulldozer, where it's clear that the driver could easily not have seen her in the way.

The soldiers who were supposed to have been looking out to help with the driver's blindspots were inside their armored personnel carrier because they were afraid of being killed by snipers. At the time she was crushed, their blind spots just happened to overlap that of the bulldozer operator.

Furthermore, if you look at a picture of a D9 bulldozer, it's clear the thing weighs a couple dozen tons. If it ran over her twice, there would really be nothing left... certainly she would have been instantly killed. The fact that she died of a crushing injury to the chest clearly indicates that she was hit or crushed by a piece of debris, rather than the bulldozer.

In any case, this was a horrible accident, which should've led both the protesters as well as the israeli army engineers to be more careful. Instead, those who are not interested in peace (at least not in any peace involving the Israelis), have used her death to pursue their own devious agenda.

Just like the death of a palestinian girl, who was shot in the head by a stray bullet that came in through the window, the story of her death was corrupted and altered, to fit this agenda.

Why would there be a video from inside the bulldozer?

What is the point of having a video from inside a bulldozer?

Because the driver's field of vision is severely limited. Have you seen a picture of that thing? I am surprised a man can see anything from the inside of that thing.

Not really. Methinks you will be paying out waaaaaay more in income tax than I will for awhile.

Furthermore, considering that the Jewish community is relatively more productive compared to the general population, you guys are in higher tax brackets no doubt. This means that you guys are paying out way more in tax than the average Joe. Well, I guess that's what you get when you pass socialist ideas down from generation to generation.

So 3 cheers for taxes. I'm sure you will be coughing up more than your fair share. :beer:
