Gaza militants target Israel with party balloons bearing bombs

[ChristineM]

Pallywood is a propaganda machine.
I raised a child for a lot longer than that. Do the years change the numbers? And the fact that countries are in the UN is sort of irrelevant.

Propaganda machine, like Hasbara but without the funding?

The years mean friends talk. You experience raising children should tell you that.

Countries that vote on resolutions.

Uh, no. We should not be coming upon them. They can just well say 'I don't like the way the U.K. is run, I think they should have Sharia.' And that is exactly what you're saying, only the other way around. I don't like the way some cultures are, but it's not up to me.

Except we both know that going back to the Middle Ages is an objectively bad, bad, bad idea... But they don't 'get' that.

They think Sharia, a middle aged cultural concept, is good for everyone. So that's why we can't take them seriously -because they're objectively wrong. And objectively wrong people need to be set aside so the objectively right people can move on.

There's no such thing as an objectively wrong way to live. There's no objectively wrong moral or legal system. There are only different cultures with different values. Each society is entitled to live how it sees fit, whether you appreciate it or not.

It is not your place to decide how another country is governed. Who made you arbiter of the running of countries?

Many people, including myself, disagree. There are indeed superior and inferior cultures and ways of life. I don't see how any person can deny this.

...It's only the stubborn, hard headed who reject it.

Many people, including myself, disagree. There are indeed superior and inferior cultures and ways of life. Any person who believes in God would understand this.

I do believe in G-d. And I also believe that each culture can live according to its values. And lest you forget, those who follow Sharia also believe in G-d. And it is for G-d to decide which cultures can be and which can't, not you.

Yeah...no funding. Someone just donates all the cameras...

Countries that vote on resolutions.

Yes, and you just answered a question you asked on another thread. Thanks for that.

No, I just want them to step aside if they're stubborn.

Yeah, I saw that logical mistake and edited. Sorry, that's true what you say. But still, stubborn is stubborn does, when there are better, more peaceful, healthy, happy and inclusive ways.

Ain't cameras great, they get to the truth in less than 1000 words

Did i? Wow,

 

[ChristineM]

No, I just want them to step aside if they're stubborn.

Again, not you choice?

 

[Cooky]

Again, not you choice?

Do you let your children call the shots? We can't let people stuck in time halt our evolution. That's silly.

...If they're in the way, they have to move.

 

[Cooky]

Unless someone thinks there's a good reason they're slowing us down.

Are we moving too fast?

Oh no, it's just the opposite.
Cameras make it possible to believe that what you saw on the internet is true, because you saw it. Even when it was a total lie, of the most pernicious sort.
The partial truth.

I'm no Palestinian supporter, nor am I anything like a Zionist. I think there's plenty of blame to spread around.

But what I see as the reason for the permanent war is things like you and @Landon Caeli post on RF.

...What annoys me is how GIF's repeat over and over. It would be better if there was 3 or 4 second pause before repeating.

Kind of makes me dizzy if I stare at it too long.

I'm not sure what you meant by that.

I took it as a sarcastic remark, reminiscent of your opinions about politics. No information, no support for your assertions. Just useless sarcasm.

Well it sure wasn't a compliment for all my hard work here. Spilling my heart out for everyone to see?

I guess the right thing to do is take the middle ground in your opinion? But what good is that? I don't know what you think?!?

My kids can have their say, if their say has merit...

You are in their way. So you know what to do.

Have you actually read all my posts from the beginning of this thread?

My view is there is fault on both sides. I was simply countering @Landon Caeli in his one sided argument and deliberate ignorance where it comes to the other side.

Re cameras, i was being flippant. There are is far more indipendent evidence and reports by world respected organisations
