Jewish settlers leaving the Gaza strip?

[JPaul]

Most of us find your politics, your "I'm alright Jack" attitude and your cultural / political imperialism to be an anachronism. It is the equivelant of the troglodyte in the playground dominating the other children because of his superior physical strength.

We look at you and it saddens us, to see large sections of your people unable to get basic healthcare, because the money is being spent on weapons. We marvel at the fact that you see Hollywood films as being culturally significant. We are appalled that your sportsmen find it easier to get an education than people who are intellectually capable. They can have their education paid for them, on the basis that they are good at throwing a ball. Whilst someone else, who is just good at thinking has to get a low paid job, because their parents cannot afford it.

It really is a fecked up system and it is not something that the EU aspires to.

On the plus side though... the US makes much better burgers than us. We really must get the recipe..

If we do can we burn it.

Had some of the best quality food I have ever had whilst in the US......and also some of the worst..



edit: Ooops naughty me off topic......

I actually think it is the right thing to move the settlers and give this land back to the Palestinians. This should have been done a long time ago. I do not however hold out much hope for greater peace in the region whilst Israel are the greater 'western' power, and their position is seen as untenable by their neighbours.

As usual, compromise on all sides is the most needed and least likely solution.

[j2k4]

If some entity with a rooting interest in Palestinian dominance cares to, let them provide entree to whatever is necessary for them to take the land by force, just like we've done for Israel.

Careful kev, that can be construed as anti-semetic.

Mentioning that Israel has the land by right of arms, without the necessary right of God...

That implies that Israel is the agressor..can't have that now

We can have anything we like, if we'll only pay the price.

Just so, though-

If Israel is popularly seen as the aggressor, then what harm leveling the playing field, eh?

[JPaul]

I could not agree more.

Tho' I would change that to "only solution", kind of making a mockery of my first sentence.

[Busyman]

Bullshit.

You made assumptions that were wrong.

Nice try to save it though.

The quotes and the make up of the sentence after the word "military".....screwed it up for ya.

I have not been J'ismed.

The sad thing is that you probably believe that.

You suggested that becoming more like the USA was something that the EU may wish to do.

It really isn't.

You are shit at reading unless it's headlines.
Your entire post was meaningless (at least in regards to an actual response to me) simply because I never said that the EU aspires to anything. SO WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

You made something nonexistent a segway for you to make a couple post to trash talk your some of your perceived faults of my country.

I don't know what "I'm alright Jack" means.

....I'll just regard your post as a jab at my country and not an actual response to anything I've said...

Who marvels at films as being culturally significant? The entire country? You are reading headlines.

Athletes get scholarships, folks high in academia get scholarships. You are reading headlines.

How do you know the reason we don't have universal healthcare is because of weapons? Ya don't. To say that we have a big military = no universal care...doesn't cut it.

If someone that is good at thinking has to get low paying job, it juuuuust might be how shit goes sometimes and even further from that, it might of that persons own actions or inaction.

I'm pretty sure your country has some similar problems and it saddens me that you think it USA exclusive.

BM,

The UK is the 9th in the Social Change index, USA is 10th (This is the ease of which one can move from "poor" to "rich") among the Western Nations.

Our NHS, is beaten by most of Europe at the moment.

The USA is the only country we can say "We're better than you" in these respects at the moment.

Its only natural for us to aim at a bloody big target, when we're already beaten by just about every other player. Dont take it personally.

Oh it's not personal. It's yet another obvious jab at America which, as a response in the context of my posts, came from nowhere.

Besides that, I didn't say FUCK YOU, FUCK BOTH A YOU...now did I?

I know that people jab at America because it's a "big target". I wonder do they know it or are they fooling themselves? Pointing out a tid bit about our athletes getting scholarships to college and leaving out the many smart folk that do is textbook bullshit.

Most folk over here that are not mindless know the problem with this country and it starts with the leadership elite and the numerous sheep that follow them.

...and then there are some that ignore the problem to buy the newest BMW 7-series.

Tbh, I rather our country tighten our borders and stay the fuck out of everyone's affairs. We are separated by water from most of the shit over in Eurasia and Africa anyway. If a country gets into trouble, they should deal with it on their own. Ask for help...fuck off. Right?

The problem is it gets sticky in the nuclear age.

If you've got a country in Europe or anywhere with a piss ant military then the more agressive military power can swallow them. Next thing you know, years later, missiles are raining down over here.

Nevertheless, we should mind our own unless it's a direct confrontation against America.

As JP noted, America seems to have unique problems, like basketball scholarships, to take care of.

Sure...here goes.

Rip open the plastic the meat is in and take out a handful of ground beef.

Form into patty. Season as necessary. Worsterstershirster sauce, salt, peppa, onion, bread, egg, whateverthefuck.

Cook

Eat.

It's funny hearing our food referred to by country. You should look at it by state. This country is too big and diverse.

Mexican
Tex-Mex
French
Italian
Chinese
Japanese
Pollo Rico
Southern

and of course

Red Lobster (among many others)

Only if you hop in the flame with it.

Otherwise, no. We have our dignity and whatnot.

Or anti-semitic, which is if anything worse.

Does this sentence make sense? Is there a shortage of commas in Scotland?
