firearms or civil liberties issues As I mentioned, the rules of conduct specifically allow for discussions of firearms and civil liberties. Discussing the deaths of American citizens at the hands of foreigners absolutely deals with ones civil liberties. And there's many threads currently...

If justice had been served,.. Polanski would be in prison and unable to direct a movie. Criminal psychologists will tell you that sex offenders, especially child molesters, have a very high recidivism rate. I seriously doubt if Polanski has put away his wicked ways.

,... and I'm a bit confused as to which one was broken in my thread "Peace activism carries the death penalty in Israel", which caused it to be closed by Preacherman. I used no foul language,... I verbally attacked no one who responded to my thread,.. I made points and provided documentation...

What do I hope to gain? DrJones, I suppose that you could ask that question of anyone who posts a topic in the political/legal forum. I can't say that there's anything to be "gained" from any discussion on the internet,.. well,.. except for technical information. I just enjoy an exchange of...

The cost of reporting such occurances If Rachel Corries death had been an isolated incident, I'd be more willing to concede that it was an accident committed during a heated, emotional moment. However, reports of Israeli aggression on non combatants are quite widespread. Many journalists who...

. ,... hmmmm,.. I'd be more than happy to respond to your post, diesel,.. but it's a bit too disjointed for me to follow. gun owner/enthusiast does not necessarily = fascist/enemy? (totally perplexed expression) As for "throwing my cards on the table" and discussing what happened to...

. The topic must have been covered prior to my association with this forum. I can't recall seeing it. Would you post a link to it so that I could read through it? ,.. and yes,.. I *did* read your post. You stated: "The incidents of people getting killed have already been discussed here at...

Stirring the pot? I'm afraid that I don't understand your question, DrJones. What pot is it that you say that I'm stirring? I'm discussing an issue,.. just as everyone else who starts a thread is doing.

. Cordex,... in response to your question about how I would feel if the young Americans had been killed by Palestinians,.. I feel outrage whenever an innocent un armed American civilian is killed by a foreign national. The difference between myself and many people is, I make no allowance for...

. M1911,.. I wholeheartedly agree with you about one thing. It's very naive and unwise to taunt a member of the IDF. Especially when he's "doing business". I would never do it and I'd never encourage anyone else to do it. But I also wouldn't have ran over anyone. The expected explanation is...

. Preacherman, I agree that some sources for the mentioned occurances tend to lean away from the extreme right,.. and I realize that political ideology can color the way that certain events are portrayed,.. but the fact is, 3 young western protestors have been shot or killed in a very short...

a need for additional space Some have suggested that Israelis have been particularly motivated to push Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank in order to make room for the enormous surge of immigrants from the former Soviet Union. According to the following figures, over 1 million immigrants...

Seems as if peaceful protest is a dangerous past-time for young Americans and Brits in Israel. The death of Rachel Corrie, A young American: http://www.counterpunch.org/niva03172003.html Rachels e-mail to her parents preceding her death...

. I'm neither here nor there on that Moose guy,.. and I think that his wife is way out of line in trying to make it a civil rights issue,.. but having said that, what's the problem with the man writing a book? Seems like a non issue to me,.. it's America. If the man wants to write a book...

some musings Alan Keyes has some comments about freedon vs. income taxation. http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/income.html

things change The world has progressed far beyond the Europe of WW2. I can understand how an 82 year old man can get "stuck in time", but Iraq is not Nazi Germany and Hussein isn't Hitler. Here's Fred Reed's take on the subject. It makes more sense...

Money is power ,.. and the most direct way for the government to transfer power from the populace to the government is for the government to take the peoples money. ,.. not much in the way of "checks and balances" to prevent it, either,... No,.. I wouldn't turn anyone in for keeping the...

. The "Patriot Act" DEFINES the Bush administration.

. Tamara,.. I don't doubt that there's some political rhetoric and posturing going on,.. but that doesn't change the facts. Bush slashed veterans benifits to a significant degree,.. and at a time when he was sending young men into combat. That stinks,...and you know it,.. ...regardless...

Bush never misses an opportunity to voice accolades for our young men in the military,.. but when it comes time for him to break out the wallet, what does he do? He finds something on his agenda which deserves 25 (B)illion dollars and funds it by pillaging the pockets of Americas veterans...
