In Any War Between The Civilized Man ....

[Kidlicious]

If anyone has Nazi ideology, it is the Arab states that officially deny the holocaust. You can't compare Israel's defense of itself against the attacks of terrorists who quite literally hate their freedom (and particularly their Judaism) to the propaganda of the Third Reich. That's just offensive.

No. It's irony.

I will not maintain dual citizenship. I want nothing more to do with Canada. Uncle Sparky's opinion is sadly shared by many Canadians that cheered 9-11 and still piss on it every year.

Those are harsh words. Canada withdrew its embassy staff from Iran and refused to condem the Israelis under the present government. They have far better moral and political leadership on those foreign policy issues than the Obama Administration. I'm no Canada expert-type-guy, but it seems to me as if the elected government of Canada has taken these positions then there must be more than enough Canadians to make up for these fools.

Apparently Doc Strangelove is all for it when it's Jews and Christians being kicked out.

Yes, the Jews were there first. Their claim to the land is based on the fact that they had kingdoms there. Ergo - they should have every right to live in the Holy Land in peace.

Christians don't have temples. Well most don't, and they don't regard them in the same way. There is no Holy Land.

You should see what most Canadians say about Harper.

There are good people up there, and I do miss my friends. But I don't miss Canada as a whole, no. That's why I will trade the other one in once I get US citizenship. The Canada that I loved died with the Chief and sadly - isn't coming back.

There is no Holy Land.

The Oldest Christian shrines are located there - the Church of the Holy Sepulchre - the tombs of Mary, etc. I would very much like to go on a pilgrimage all through that part of the world - from Sinai up to Constantinople. Maybe when I'm old and gray I will get a chance. I am glad that Israel is there - they take good care of the Christian shrines.

There is a holy land for Catholics obviously. I think Orthodox too.

Maybe some Protestants, but they focus on other aspects.

Mary's tomb was really strange to me, and a bit creepy.

(Yes, I know there is little chance that it was Mary's tomb, and no chance it was the Upper Room)

[Ben Kenobi]

Why creepy? Like I said, I haven't been there.

[Dr Strangelove]

Shouldn't we also distinguish between deliberate attacks on civilians and accidental ones?

Sure. The glorified bottle rockets used by the Palestinians in Gaza probably have an accuracy radius of somewhere in the vicinity of a kilometer, once fired there's no telling where they're going to hit to hit a military outpost or someone's backyard. The drones used by the US are guided by television, they actually see what they're going to hit and they have an accuracy radius less than one meter. When the US bombs a wedding it means they saw the wedding first and just went ahead with the mission.

I can't wait to get my citizenship - because then it will mean I never have to tell people that I once lived in the same country as you.

Please do it as soon as possible you stupid ****.

Nothing would make Canadians happier than pretending you were never one of us.

Fortunately for you, the US is just ****ed up enough to grant it to you.

Iran's not Arab! They're Persians.

Sparta kicked their ass.

Feeling is most definitely mutual.

[Wezil]

At least my family likes me.

You are a complete douche.

[Ben Kenobi]

You are a complete douche.

Hahaha. You base that on one comment from 2 years ago from someone claiming to be my brother? Really, wezil?

Hmmm. I know some Protestants do think that material things can be holy. Take the Bible for example, some think you have to treat it a certain way (don't put it on the ground). I think the point is that the Word is holy, but the material is not.
