Amnesty International: Israeli authorities must stop demolitions of Palestinian homes - Polidicks

If someone breaks into my home, and I have a gun, I would shoot them. Is there something wrong with that?

[QUOTE=kevn150;22699151]So in your opinion, Israel just likes being a dick?[/QUOTE] Just like South Africa.

[QUOTE=kevn150;22698775]Then why do the most successful people living in America support a political policy of conservatism?[/QUOTE] because it's beneficial to them and unbeneficial to the rest of society? i thought this shit was basic for most people

Rather than intelligently debating with facts, you resort to stupid analogies. Maybe you should refrain from arguing if you can't bring anything productive to the conversation?

[QUOTE=GunFox;22699133]I don't give a shit what the UN says. I really don't. They pass laws and then don't enforce them. Either enforce the laws and resolutions, or shut the fuck up. It cheapens the concept of rule by law to make laws that are unenforceable.[/QUOTE] Because they are shit at enforcing them, they should be broken? What?

[QUOTE=Sporkfire;22699210]Guess the Arabs were freedom fighters all along then?[/QUOTE] Zing (1x)

[QUOTE=GunFox;22699100] Basically I am of the opinion that law is meant to protect people with as little encroachment on the freedoms of the people it protects as possible. However at the same time, it is still completely possible to have a government that has strong social assistance programs. Welfare, scholarships (And of course education itself), foreign aid, government health care, these are all things that benefit everyone whether they use the program directly or not. We currently employ a punitive criminal justice system and, as a result, we have one of the highest populations of incarcerated individuals in the world. We have a system that makes it virtually impossible for an ex-convict to ever get a job again and return his life to normalcy. We carefully craft this never ending cycle that is brutally effective at taking the children of former convicts and making THEM into criminals. Our probation officers are so fucking thick, that they don't even realize that part of their job is reintegrating people into society. It's ridiculous. We need to REFORM criminals, not simply PUNISH them. We need to stop criminalizing possession, at the very least, and start viewing it as an illness that needs to be treated. Overwhelming percentages of crime are based almost entirely around, or committed under the influence of, illegal narcotics. Military action should always be a last resort, it should also however be extraordinarily brutal and unforgiving when pursued. I am a huge fan of never setting boots on the ground anywhere, instead simply crippling a target through the use of overwhelming air power. Obviously certain situations call for ground power on occasion, but avoiding it is ideal. If I speak to the use of military action too frequently, it is generally because theorizing about effective tactics with military units is much more entertaining than figuring out what the hell two diplomats are going to talk about over tea. My love of firearms is likely simply southern blood. They are to me what cars are to other people. So yeah. If I take a side in an argument, it's often not for the reasons people think.[/QUOTE] honestly this is a lot more than i expected from the post i made. you seem to be much more level-headed than the posts i've previously seem from you indicate. i had you pegged for a republican, when you actually seem like a decent person. sorry for the misunderstanding

[QUOTE=Jund;22699187]Do you know what would be the best for me? Killing everyone in the entire world, as they can all harm me in someway. What's I'm implying that Israel is doing this for their own selfish reasons, under the guise of doing "what is best for their country".[/QUOTE] What selfish reason? Elaborate. Reasons for occupying a foreign area: -Natural resources: no, insurgents can't be converted to fossil fuels. -Expanding borders: no, Israel doesn't have enough military numbers to cover another 500 miles of borders, nor do they need the space. -Revenge: this has obviously got to be it, even though Palestinians didn't partake in a genocide against them. -Gain international attention: no, why would Israel want several extremists attention. -Security: yes, stops most of Hamas from occupying Gaza and the West Bank; secures Israel's borders

You're making up something aside from the argument to make it seem like I'm 'wrong'. The scenario is a guy breaks into your house. All you can see is him, he's not holding a god damned TV.
