The IRA wasn't operating in a culture where they could convince their own compatriots that it would be OK to parlay a propensity for teens to consider suicide into a socially separating mechanism that would ensure the continued existence of the IRA organization. Hamas is operating in just such a cu...

You think Hamas' goal is peace with Israel. I don't believe Hamas wants peace with Israel at all, and will use tools at their disposal to prevent peace and individual equality. So long as Hamas and other extremists can leverage teen psychological depression through the suicide vest, they can interf...

Keeping the proles from revolting has been a problem for government since the days of Rome. Probably before but the Roman data is better. Two problems: 1. Not enough welfare - proles revolt 2. Too much welfare - taxpayers revolt I wish I had an answer. I used to be a strict Libertarian. Now I'm a s...

You know for most of my life I've heard about the "peace process," but never about actually creating peace. Hamas is the government that the Gazan's wanted. Hamas does not want peace. If Hamas wanted peace ther would be peace. But Hamas' entire reason for existance is war. They will never want peac...

Oh and MSimon, "12 MW wind turbines" don't exist. So true. I think I mentioned that more research should be going into making turbines larger. Rather than spending 1,000 times as much on turbines that are a dead loss to the economy. We're getting there: The Queen Buys The World’s Largest Wind Turbi...

Neither is using lies and liars to make your point. I've seen enough photographs from Gaza and heard so many lies from there that I have become massively suspicious of the UN, the NGO's and self hating Jews and anything they say. I give you Israeli-collected fatality statistics and the testimony of...

So the Israelis were not targeting orphanages. Just shooting at those firing rockets. Said rocket shooters doing their deed in civilian areas so they could get children killed for propaganda purposes. I don't accept this interpretation, because of the material circulated to soldiers in the IDF equa...

Babbage had the invention, but it needed 20th century Japanese toolmaking to be able to finally make it with sufficient precision and efficiency that it was affordable and that it worked. 19th century precision was all that was required. Babbage was skilled enough to make the parts himself, but the...

I agree: Breaking the Silence: Israeli soldiers 'used human shields' in Gaza.

And according to B'tselem, in January 2009 Israeli forces killed 252 children under 16 in Gaza.

Let me add that the Sephardic (Arab Jews) influence on Jewish culture is now so great that Ashkenazi (European Jews) pronunciation of Hebrew is now out of favor in Jewish culture. I'm getting used to it. Slowly. Sephardi Jews come mostly from Spain and Portugal, and so are also European. Perhaps yo...

I think you are misreading the case. It is not the doctrine that is being argued. It is a failure to state that doctrine a...

I applied the principle: falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus FIUFIO is a legal principle, not a scientific or investigative principle. It is primarily used (and makes sense) in the courtroom. That's why lawyers are so aggressive at trying to impeach the credibility of a witness (and lawyers on the oth...
