(12,283 posts)that means no such thing as "hate legislation" for instance...the concept of shutting down a viewpoint because you don't like it, censorship is abhorrent to me. and yes i 'm for all the cartoons that one can imagine....including allah peeing on christ if someone so chooses or visa versa. (or moshe if you prefer).
i just like reading how your for civil rights, but only if a certain group of people have a leadership where they have the proper genes (thats pc for racism), even if it means a dictatorship. I enjoy the way you skip over history, pretend it never happened to make a point
like this...you've got to be kidding...
.in theory, the Palestinians could try to attack Israel proper...but given the size of your country's war machine, it's doubtful they'd be that reckless...and there's no reason to assume the other Arab countries would back them in that attack. I'll concede that it's possible.
have you missed what hizballa has been doing, what happened in 48, 67, 73, 1980s (lebanon) what iran has been threatening and doing..i mean are you really that blind?
but just for fun, if they are "that reckless" and the PA govt claims "its not us, its them..." will you back israel unleashing its war machine to stop the attacks, using the limitations of military equipment today (i.e. no phasers) in attacking an urban area or will you prefer that we let them shoot at us (please don't say "we have the right to defend ourselves.....thats such an empty phrase).
but this is a breakthrough...
Of course I'm willing to accept that self-determination could have negative effects...It's not as though I've argued that it would lead to Utopia.
.... but this has no affect on your opinion , that despite the negative effects, its still preferable....(like what negative affects)
