68. now were getting somewhere.....took some time...
Edited on Sun Oct-15-06 04:10 PM by pelsar
i've discovered that at times it takes several months before the posters finally let go of the "PC" type talking points and finally get down to their own biases...

so the Palestinians are the "indigenous people"...and the jews are not?....

is it a time thing?...if your gone long enough you no longer considered "indigenous"?...or is its a culture thing?...and the jews culture is not as "valid" as the Palestinians?


betcha cant really answer the questions can you?

oh i'm quite easy to talk to...i usually have quite a few questions that once answered usually lead to more..unfortunatly here, my questions are for the most part skipped over, claimed that "they've been answered"...(usually at best only partially).....I've found that only one type of person cant really have a discussion with me...the religious types, it can be the "god said" type of stuff or it can be the "67 border/removal of all settlements" will bring peace" religion...both have an inability to discuss things in a rational western type of logic thought pattern that also requires one to discuss not just various options but a "what if" scenarious....only the religious have no use for that.....if you fit the pattern, your right, not much use in talking to me, if you see your self as having a western thought process that can actually discuss various types of scenarious and environments, as i have in the past with palestenians and those on the right and left it can get interesting...but it does take an ability to keep to the relevant facts, relevant sequence of events (in their order...), accept that fact that different cultures are at play here(remove your colonial mentality) etc.


and you really should read up on the palestenians...they're claim is to Jerusalem is religious, even if you dont like it (third holiest city)..if your going to defend the Palestinians may i suggest learning a bit more about them? and their culture....jerusalem as a muslim holy city is a basic building block of their culture. If you dont know that, one must wonder what do you actually know?
