This is about the funniest thing i have read on here. Its like you stopped just short of saying "anakin, only the sith deal in absolutes". lol

You think you stand to the left and use terms like "destroy", "evil" and even "terrorist" in the same mangled diatribe?

You seem to like cliches. How about this one: One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Think about that for one second.

Think about all sides of the issue before you start spouting off about "balance to the universe" and try just for a second to understand why the universe is just so "unbalanced" right now.

I doubt that you are so advanced in your philosophy as to make fun of mine and I certainly don't have to present my credentials to someone I don't even know. I've lived my life by that which I believe and have never been bashful of presenting my opinions on any subject. A couple points...I KNOW that I am to the left of most here, I don't just think it. My thoughts were clearly stated, they were neither mangled or bitter, simply my point of view. You are welcome to your's but attempting to devalue mine is a poor substitute to presenting a retort based on whatever your opinion may be for debate. Also, my response was geared specifically to Pgardn, a poster that I know and respect and have had many discussions with in the past, not some lurker that I honestly don't know or care about. Your world view is apparently different than mine....cool! We can debate the merits of our ideology, but starting out with an attempt to lecture me from some perceived loft of intellectual superiority is well...a waste of your time!

Before we can begin ANYTHING, you have to go back to Kindergarten and learn LEFT from RIGHT.

Obviously, you must feel you lack the mental tools necessary for substantive debate and therefore resort to making belittling personal comments simply because I don't share your point of view (assuming you actually have one, you certainly have done little except attack the views of others thus far). I have no time for folks like you, I have been around too long to be baited unless I care to be and when I read your posts...to quote Willow Rosenberg, "bored now!" I will refrain from posting further in response to your personal comments.

Im glad that you will refrain if all im going to get is regurgitated riff raff about the "balance of the universe" and "destroying evil". LOL

It's very difficult to know who is making these posts ... dalakhani or somerfrost.

Someone hit a wrong button somewhere ... and the confusion persists. Will one of you please start from scratch ... so the rest of us can follow the thread?

might be a decent thread without you cluttering it up with your babbling.

Why can't people be respectful and not refer to everyone who does not support the Israeli attack as a worthy-to-die Arab or lacking capacity?

When Bold Bumbler and Dixie and others toss out their "credentials" it's just away for them to boost their self-esteem or whatever.

Different people see the world different ways. I'm not an Israeli zealot as some, yet I'd never say I hope their people die as Dixie and Bold Bumbler wish upon the innocent Arab people.

I'm not faulting anyone else's character. I probably will never change their views.
