Boy, the IDF sure sounds splendid, eh? Isn't there some European power that has the gall to boycott Israeli goods or some other form of punishment? Right now, I can see why Ahmadinejad is so pissy towards Israel. And right now I can see why Israel...  [Read More]

Well considering that it was where muhammed allegedly flew up to heaven on his magic horse and we've all seen how riled up muslims get when it comes to muhammed, I'm willing argue that "3rd most holy" is still pretty important to them. And...  [Read More]

The point still stands, Garfy, that "the Muslims" are not going to trust Christians or Jews on one of their holy sites, whether it be the most Holy or the least. It's still Holy, and they don't want to allow access to people who don't recog...  [Read More]

Wouldn't that require that all three of these religions would have to believe that each of the other two have some legitimacy? Wouldn't it mean having to curtail some of their own religion's mythology? For the Jewish people it is their most holy sit...  [Read More]

Well the mainstream media was all over the Israelis dropping bombs on a UN Outpost in 2006, but many of them failed to report that the UN knew that location was being used as a launching plantform. The words of a Canadian United Nations observer wri...  [Read More]

And how do you know these officials are corrupt? Have you done research into such a claim? And who said anything about giving them money? I thought this was about food. They horde the food too rather than giving it to the people. Quit trying to pain...  [Read More]

So people starving in Africa just don't want to work, because there are so many jobs there, and they can actually get one, being uneducated and filthy, with little to no energy whatsoever? I mean, sure, they choose not to be enslaved into the diamond...  [Read More]

Oh, silly us. When smear campaigns are used against a Republican, it's blatantly false, but anything raised against a Democrat, no matter how ludicrous, has merit. Good to know for the future. What ludicrous charges were made about Obama, aside fro...  [Read More]

And as always, we saw Fox News as the Republican pulpit, which hasn't really changed much. That explains why Sean Hannity had to defend Hillary because he thought the rest of the Media went over the line. Fact is even Pew Research's own data shows t...  [Read More]

You already posted this, here (http://www.lucasforums.com/showpost.php?p=2572529&postcount=67). And I still fail to see how this proves that mainstream media did anything wrong. Perhaps if you would enlighten me on this particular incident, then...  [Read More]
