Respect

[Mr Smokes Blunts.]

I'm pointing out you using stupid analogies that involve physical harm to people who are suffering. Think before you type. Or cut off your right arm.

It's not an analogy, it's an expression. A widely used expression in fact. Here you are:

What are you getting at? My point is that the Palestinians keep holding out for a better deal, as if they can guilt trip Israel into giving them every thing they want. On the other hand the people in Darfur can't do shit. I refuse to care about a group of people who won't admit they lost and come to the bargaining table as the losers.

If it is wrong to take land, then the Palestinians were wrong to take it in the first place. If it isn't wrong to take land, then the Israelis had a right to take it back. Unless of course you want to tell me the magical date after which it became wrong to take land?

Come to the table as losers!

Is that what it's all about. Why don't we just do what we did to Japan to end the second world war?

Nuke Gaza, Iran or anyone else we don't like.

They'd bow down to our superior power!

Go on admit it. Go on I dare you. You secretly dream of it.
Presidents of the US have fantasied about it for years!

Is it wrong to take land or not? Imagine if at the end of WWII Germany just kept fighting periodically, and so did Japan. Refusing to take their losses. You do know that Palestine sent soldiers to work in concentration camps and held meetings with Hitler to sort out their Jewish problem don't you?

This is totally pointless by the way, so if you want to leave it here I don't mind.

[edit] in fact, i'll just stop right now.

This picture summarises my position, and why this is a waste of time:

You do know the Brits invented concentration camps don't you? Better leave now.

An ill-chosen one.

Fuck off and die is an expression too yes?

 

[Mr Smokes Blunts.]

An ill-chosen one with you about perhaps... I must say you make pedantry into an art form

 

[StoneHappyMonday]

That's nice of you. Again.

If you want but just on the point of concentration camps, guess who invented them?

Your an Historian.

Yes! The British Empire!

We were Hitlers rolemodel he just picked on Jews instead of the fuzzywuzzys like we ordered Cpl. Jones to kill.

 

[Mr Smokes Blunts.]

That's nice of you. Again.

I meant I should have been more careful about which expressions I do and don't use given that you will try and make a point out of the most trivial of things. Although, to be honest, I thought 'id give my right arm for...' was such a widely used expression it might slip under even your finely tuned radar. Whoops! My bad.

There are more than a couple of instances of these camps existing before the Boer war, unless of course you are referring to something I don't know about?

Making points out of trivial things!

Concentration camps, wars, justifying one sided genicides around the world.

MSB get a grip pal.

Ps I'm not a scrounging hippy but if that's what you want to imagine me to be then so be it.

It is trivial to pull me up on saying that the Sudanese would give their right arm for something... Please tell me you aren't calling Palestine a genocide?

Yea coz the wiki is the bible of all knowledge.
It's on the Internet so therefore is the truth.

No worries. I'm sure Cambodians would give their left legs for a bit less corruption.

Nah they're living the dream mate. The so called troops that intimidate Gaza every night are not even Jews!

To believe a referenced encyclopedia or to believe someone who wants to believe everything bad that ever happened can be pinned on us, regardless of the truth of the matter. That is the question.

I don't know many genocides where the population being cleansed more than doubles in number in just 2 decades, do you?

That's the spirit.

I'm not blaming 'us' I'm blaming a very small minority that always profit whether we are at war or not.

Whether other countries are at war or not.

If it's a boom or if it's a bust.

They always profit and most of the world loses.

Stop pulling the first wiki page you find and do some real research. Even on wiki pages you can follow why neither the American Indian camps nor the Spanish/Cuban ones bore any resemblance to what followed in the Boer War (or Nazi Germany)

You claim to have this great knowledge but are constantly called out for pulling up wiki pages without fully reading them or anything around them.

But less me guess. You did 'concentration camps' in the second lesson at your top red-brick (ooh, chip on the shoulder about not being good enough for Oxbridge?) university.

Ouch! I think that hit a nerve
