Oh cry me a river, Botsenhammer. Peragro calls me cmacadoodle, etc. and it bothers me approximately 1/1000 as much, if that, as this personal, below the belt invective I see here of late.

You want to mock my screen name which is only an invention anyway?!?

GO FOR IT.

Read all of this with as much as an open mind as you can muster and ask yourself: " What would I be prepared to do if my family and I were amongst the down-trodden majority?"

That is a problem. It seems to be a catch 22. You do this and they do that and so on and so forth. It would be hard to make it equal since I don't trust you and it would be hard for you to stop since you don't trust me and you think that is the only way to get things done. \

You kid throws stones at my house so I don't want him anywheres near the fence line. Now you get mad becuase it is your property and you don't want to keep your kid away from the fence line. However, I don't trust your kid not to throw stones at my house and I want him on your side of the fence and away.

Unfortunately, nobody seems to be able to make steps at the same time. Both sides, that is.

Nah, just reminding Mr Berkeley (ahem) that when he complains about other folks using name-calling that he might wish to reflect on his own behavior, which I had previously detailed with a lengthy list of names (not all his) that a few folks here pinned on me. He was a majority contributor.

Well, Egypt and Jordan decided that since they didn't have so many religious nuts they could easily not get started any more. Doesn't help those involved previously but it helps the future. OTOH, if the religious nuts get involved, how else can they stay in power? If Hamas recognizes Isreal and can stop the violence, what would happen to them? They would be out of a job. Keep the people fighting and therefore Keep the Isrealis responding and it keeps them in a job. Look at Iraq. If they are really into helping the people, why bother with all this crap? Let them do what they want and if people want them enough, they will vote them in and that is that.

Thats dead on. If peace broke out what would Hamas's {sp?} and Hizboula's {sp?} membership do? They are well qualified to kill jews and nothing else. Peace breaks out and they go from 'big shots' to 'punks' overnight.

Isreal has some place to go. Where do those religious leaders go to? They also go from somebody to someone inconsiquential. Them and the who organization. Can't have that, can they. Unlike over here, they cannot buy the parties. Religious people here own the GOP while the unions and other institutes own the Dems.

I see your point, Aklim, but you didn't deal with the posed Question, especially when the 'other' fence is supported by:

U.S. INVOLVEMENT
The United States has consistently supported Israel and Israeli policy. The U.S. gives several billion dollars of aid to Israel each year, plus loan guarantees, military subsidies, and weapons contracts. The U.S. has also repeatedly vetoed UN resolutions critical of Israel, as well as putting heavy pressure on other countries to refrain from reprimanding Israel for its policies or actions.

The U.S. has tried to play "honest broker" in peace talks between Palestinians and Israel, but the unequal and unfair handling by American facilitators has come under heavy criticism.

Unfortunately politics is not a collective call- those that have more $ have more influence. Guess why "our" policy is to give hundreds of billions to Israel?
And why is someone who does not agree with Israeli policies a racist? If I say screw Canada am I a racist? If I say screw Britain am I a racist? Why is then a person who does not agree with Israel actions they are called a racist? Israeli citizens are not 100% Jewish are they? When I was little I was told to love the sinner, but not the sin. It's what I teach my three sons.

Ah...thanks for explaining American foreign policy to us.

It is those rich Jews that control our government.

I think that collective, oil-rich Arabs "would" have far more power and influence than a little old country with Zero natural resources (except for its people).

Of course not, I feel the same way. But your attitude is, let's face it, defeatist - Remember the little woman in the bus who refused to give up her seat? Remember the rebellious public outcries by, for example, the 'draft dodgers' and Vietnam - it eventually brought down Nixon's inherited policies.

Change can come - it must come! Just collectively stand up and be counted. Israel must be muzzled and harnessed if this mass murder is to stop. They have a questionable right to exist, but they are the aggressor ; always have been, even when Britain ruled Palestine, and who is their biggest, perhaps only, financial supporter? American taxpayers!

The ball is in your court fellows - the power to do so is in your collective hands. Do something.

If you do not agree with policies, no, your not a racist. If you say that Canada is a murdering, baby raping, stuck-up, imperialistic nation. Your still not a racist. But when you say " All Canadians should be shoved under the ice cap to die like the scumbags they are." You might be a racist.

I've told you more than once that I believe the Forum would be a much poorer place w/o you. I respect a good 60 to 70% of your opinions. Here it comes....HOWEVER, there are times when you display just a tiny bit of imperiousness that, IMHO, detracts from the overall effectiveness of your thinking. Many times you responded to something of mine with variations on "His honor, the divine cyclops" (the one I remember the best, I didn't keep a list of occasions of my wounded pride to display). Around that time, I started with some jibes that went along the lines of "Master of all that is knowable," or "Divine Keeper of the Sacred Truths."

It's slightly amazing to me that you're apparently unaware of the insults you throw out but are accutely aware of me referring to you as Botsenhammer. At no point in our jousting did I make any personal attacks, and I certainly never challenged your manhood or implied that you lacked testicles or that they could not produce sufficient testosterone.

Our buddy seems to think that making rude comments on the web that I seriously doubt he would have the moxie to make in person somehow marks him as a tough guy.

Here's a rule of thumb on web courtesy from that obnoxious know it all cmac. If a remark you're about to type is one you would say in person if the guy looked like Woody Allen, but would not say if the guy looked like Lennox Lewis, there's not a lot of courage involved in posting it on a forum.

Perhaps he has long experience, in his position as a prosecutor, of facing down some bad guy, saying something like, "Mr. Smith, clearly you are the scum of the earth, and this court will find you guilty and tie you up like a goat and throw away the knot." This with a judge, bailiff, several armed officers, and a few dozen witnesses backing him up.

Yes, I challenged him to a supervised, manly contest in order to give him the chance to see if his cojones function as well as he thinks they do when matched next to some hippie from Berkeley who just happens to be older than him, best I can tell. He tacitly accepted, and I will hold him to that, in a few months, if he has the stones, that is. I hope the boy is getting in shape. I want this to be fair.

All the best,

pusillanimous effete hemp weaver, or

effete, pusillanimous and cojones-less

Well, I think of the Japs. Did we like them after WWII? Wasn't their stuff considered cheap disposable junk? What did they do? Cry out how unfair it was? Nope. They worked harder and now our big 2 is threatened by them. So, to answer your question, none of this is going to be any help to me. Maybe it would be best not to keep fighting and figure out a way to improve myself. My Dad didn't like how the boss treated older people in the company. He started his own company. Was it hard? Yes. There were times he didn't have $100 to his name, literally. Actually, in US currency, that was $50, give or take. My cousin worked for Toyota. Started at the bottom of the heap and is now somewheres in middle management. He was making $100K about 10 years ago.

Yes, I do know that. However, Isreal is deemed important to us by the govt. PErsonally, I do agree with them on that. I don't agree with Bush everytime or Clinton or Bush Sr. That is one of the things I agree with tho.

Yes, it has come under heavy criticism. But face it. Has any country not done some underhanded stuff and not doing it right now. If you live in any other country, you will see it clear as day. Believe me, I have.

GottaDiesel 08-02-2006 11:11 PM

I don't think you are a racist because we differ on how things are to be done. GD, yes. He constantly points out one side and says how the other side is being hammered and when called on it, he either gets abusive or elusive but won't answer the question. Just that you say "I disagree" doesn't make you a racist. If it did, I am the founder of the KKK. CMAC and I don't always see eye to eye. However, I will vouch for the fact that he ISN'T a racist. He may not agree with policy but his views are a little more balanced.

Firstly, the arabs are NOT our friends. So what if they all get killed? I won't shed a tear. Their goverments give lip service to us buy give money to the terrorists, our enemy.

If you want to muzzle and harness Isreal, are you going to muzzle and harness the other side? We cannot at this point. Why not let Isreal wreak the havoc and destruction? If you succeed, can you gaurantee the other side won't use it as an opportunity to wipe out Isreal, our fort in the wilderness and investment? What then of us? Think they will be contented with that? Doubtful. In fact, I'd bet the reverse will be true. They can't even stop bombing for 2 weeks to get down to talks. Just talk. What can you expect of them?

Yeah, fight club is what I had in mind. NO weapons, give me a break. Gloves, mouthpieces, observers. Queensbury rules. Last thing I'd want to do is to hurt a litigious guy in that biz.

Let me guess. They are your best friends, right? :D :D

No, the bed isn't comfy. But what is? Let me ask you this. If a girl has an unplanned pregnancy, which is the best option? Abortion, Adoption or Keeping the kid? Some people say this and others say that. However, one thing is clear to me. ANY choice you make will have some good AND some bad. No one choice is only good. I want power in my car. No problem. Give up some money to get it. Oh, I want to go faster? No problem. Now you lose reliability. There is NO FREE LUNCH in life. Or NILIF as we say.

cmac2012 08-02-2006 11:42 PM

No, not my best friend. I've spoken of one guy who is by far my best Arab friend (I don't have too many -- in my whole life) I imagine some guys are getting tired of hearing about him. He's from Yemen and he and his two sons run a small grocery about 3 blocks from my house.

The guy is way cool. I've seen him break up arguments in front of his store with a really deft touch. Berkeley transitions from yuppie to semi-rough black neighborhoods pretty quickly here and there and our house is close to one of the boundaries, God knows how that works but it sure appears to. The store is accross the street from an "alternative" high school (read: for kids who couldn't make in reg'lar high school). It gets pretty wild with inner-city type youth in there in big waves now and then. The guy and his sons appear to be popular with just about everybody and his prices are good, specially for a small place. Corona is $1.50 for one bottle there and it's $2.00 or more everywhere else, big store or small store.

The guy watches and reads Arab news big time. He's a good contact to have. About half the time when I go in, if it's slow, we talk about stuff for a few minutes. Interesting perspective.

The guy gets $h!t sometimes when he goes back to Yemen because of his American passport, though he rarely goes back. He's got some wild stories of how he faces the characters down. :D

That was something GD said when he made his one sided comments so I thought I'd throw it at you too since you mentioned friends.

Corona for $1.50 when others are $2. That will make him popular.

Never hurts to see a different perspective whether you agree with it or not.

I'd be afriad to go there with a US passport myself.

TY. However, you are not my type tho. I support gays getting marriend and all that but I don't think I find guys attractive. My type of woman is great looking and doesn't duck.

Is it true that if you swing from both sides you double your chances of getting laid? :D

If Sid wants me to leave some offerings at her alter, I could be persuaded. It would be a tough job but I'll take one for the team. :D

Logically speaking, yes. Never tried it myself. Besides, my type of woman doesn't play "duck the question". :D

More like the blathering of the geriatric hippie crowd...

Some people, as they age, regress to behaviors better suited to a Jr. High School. Such as....

1. Name calling ("Megaburger") or

2. Challenging others to fights ("Come on man, let's fight so I can prove I still have a little testo left...").

Andale...andale...andale...

Arriba...arriba...arriba...

Oh man I hear that. He speaks the language, fluently of course, I'm alwasy hearing him and his sons doing that 'al-lak-ACHHH-a-lim-ACCHHHH-a-omma-a-lak-ACHHH,' you know the way they do that throat clearing sound. Trippy language -- they say it's pretty hard to learn.

Anyway, he speaks the language and gets grief. Imagine gringo trying it? :eek:

I knew it... backing out. Can dish it out but sure can't take it. BOCCC - boc - boc - boc - BOCCCCC!

How does November work for you? December? I want to go to San Diego sometime around then.

Name calling?! Do you read your own posts? You're the champ dude, hands down.

OK, big shot, you want to be publicly humiliated, that is fine.

So here it goes.

Come on down whenever you want.

You throw the first punch.

But you better make it your best punch and here is why.

1. Anything that happens after you throw your first punch is considered self-defense. And escalation is OK. Remember the hezbo-thugs killing 8 Israeli soldiers and then Israel retaliated with massive air strikes. There is more than just a little bit of Jew in me pal. So you better make sure I can't get up after your first punch...ever. Because if I get up...

2. So assuming that you can lay me down with your first punch, then consider the following. My estate has explicit instructions to pursue anyone who injures me. Many of my associates are Jewish and are also lawyers. You know what they say about Jewish lawyers. These guys can be ruthless--they are also fearless. You better start hiding your assets.

Since you decided to make this personal with your continued taunts and by directly quoting me (even though I have you on ignore) you should also know this.

You don't get to survive in a foreign country, not knowing the language and not having two pennies to rub together, by being a wimp. I don't play for sport pal. That is for rich people who have the time and the inclination. Plus playing just for sport is boring.

I play to win. And if you know immigrants, like you say you do, then you know exactly what I mean.

Comprende?

Now go back to your effete, trite, pompous postings.

Come on down whenever you want. I am easy to find.

But be careful what you seek, you may find it and not like the results.

Wait...wait...I hear Mel Gibson calling for you....

What was that about calling a spade a spade? If you spent as much time reading the real news as you do running your mouth/keyboard, you might have learned that the Jewish lobby is widely regarded as the strongest lobby in the country, with the NRA second. Congress rarely, if ever crosses the Jewish lobby. If anyone does, enourmous resources are brought to bear against them in their next election, including the deputization of the conservative Christian base which is fired up to remove this enemy of Israel.

No they don't run our govt. but it's close.
