Israel and Gaza

Max Keiser, that's the dude, thanks. Personally, I prefer to get my news from our very own Radio 4 Extra. Just been listening to Paul Temple effortlessly solving another incomprehensible Francis Durbridge mystery. What a role model for today's yoof! And Marjorie Wallace as his slut of a wife, Steve, oozes sex from every over-elucidated syllable. Forget yer Gorgeous Georges and tv presenters in bikinis and tune into an alternative reality.


Sorry to interrupt, chaps, as you were.
 
So what you see in me that you don't see in my freind?.......

Just curious thats all

Less blinkered by rage and a determination to splatter me over the pavement and post the pics on BL?

The other day you thanked someone for showing you something new.

Your Norwegian connection is interesting.

But if you're gonna spit at me over nothing just to please your bum (copyright, you) buddy then....have a nice day. I doubt it's the end of the world for either of us.

Fragments on Slavery

Abraham Lincoln
April 1, 1854

If A. can prove, however conclusively, that he may, of right, enslave B.—why may not B. snatch the same argument, and prove equally, that he may enslave A?—

You say A. is white, and B. is black. It is color, then; the lighter, having the right to enslave the darker? Take care. By this rule, you are to be slave to the first man you meet, with a fairer skin than your own.

You do not mean color exactly? You mean the whites are intellectually the superiors of the blacks, and, therefore have the right to enslave them? Take care again. By this rule, you are to be slave to the first man you meet, with an intellect superior to your own.

But, say you, it is a question of interest; and, if you can make it your interest; you have the right to enslave another. Very well. And if he can make it his interest, he has the right to enslave you.

Opens up the interesting question of whether an Israeli pet is more likely to get to heaven than a Gazan one. Chances are those the Palestinian side of the border will be the quicker to find out.

What a terrible, tragic mess. The folk to be admired are those Palestinians who made it to medical school in the west and chose to return rather than pursue far more lucrative and comfortable careers in the US. Hard to find any politicians deserving of credit thus far in the present crisis. As long as the problem is restricted to the 'poor Arab
with his goat and his lice', we can shrug sadly and be glad it's not ours. But if the Iranians get the bomb-or the Israelis think they have - all changes, utterly. Then watch church attendances increase.
 
why don't they all ask god to make a bit more land? (i'm not taking the piss) but then that'd cause arguments too, according to where it was and what other goodies there were in the general area.

landmine: the name of it, like a toddler shouting "land! mine!"
 
The saddest thing of all is that the land only has a religious value, there's a cronic shortage of water, they have found oil off the coast but in small amounts and definately not as much as in any other areas of the world, agriculture is hard and there's a limited amount of crops you can grow. The Israelis spent millions trying to convert desert into agricultural lands, but it's an extremely expensive and resource consuming process.

Seriously apart from a bunch of ancient ruins and couple of olive trees there's absolutely fuck all to be fighting over for.
 
He had a fear that he would kill himself because he was suicidal. He would never carry a knife in case he used it to kill himself.

I swear I'm not making this up. Is there nothing on Wikipedia about it?

Interesting, no not on wikipedia but I've found a few other pages which mention it. Didn't know he suffered from depression, or maybe I did but I forgot.
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_and_mental_health_of_Abraham_Lincoln
Lincoln was contemporaneously described as suffering from "melancholy," a condition which modern mental health professionals would characterize as clinical depression.[32] Whether he may have suffered from depression as a genetic predilection, as a reaction to multiple emotional traumas in his life,[33] or a combination thereof is the subject of much current conjecture.[34]
What is clear is Lincoln suffered depressed mood after major events of his life, such as the death of Ann Rutledge in August 1835,[35] the cessation of Lincoln's engagement to Mary Todd Lincoln in January 1841 (after which several close associates feared Lincoln's suicide),[36] and after the Second Battle of Bull Run.[37] It is also clear Mary Lincoln felt her husband to be too trusting, and his melancholy tended to strike at times he was betrayed or unsupported by those in whom he put faith.[38]
Lincoln would often combat his melancholic moods by delving into works of humor, likely a healthy coping mechanism for his depression.[39]
It has been proposed that Lincoln took "blue mass" pills to improve his mood.[40] There is, however, no support for this in the written record.[41] The recollections of Lincoln's legal colleagues (John Stuart, Henry Whitney, Ward Lamon, and William Herndon) are clear that Lincoln took them because of constipation[42] (constipation is a troubling symptom in MEN2B, above). The active ingredient of blue mass is elemental mercury – a substance now known to be a neurotoxin in its vaporic state.[43] Whether mercury poisoning may have affected Lincoln's demeanor before or after he ceased its use in 1861 is unknown, but still remains the subject of conjecture by some historians.[44] Lincoln's only known assessments of the medication are that it made him "cross" and that he preferred it above others.

Got to read the right wiki page.

They already had nutty birds in those days!
