What, they're putting smiley faces on the bulldozers now? I must have missed that.

too much is made of the bulldozers- swarthy peoples will fake being hurt, you know.

Not every Palestinian has a ponytail and five-o'clock shadow, despite what Coltrane thinks.

See, this is the sort of parochial generalization that would be the kiss of death anywhere other than some storefront legal services shop in Detroit.

Isn't "swarthy" a description for Pirates? I've never been to the Middle East, but I don't imagine people from the region as pirate-like. But this could be a generalization. They may have a robust Pirate community of which I am not aware, being a racist and all.* (Which by definition, would meanthey have a rubost gay community, which I'm fairly certain, outside of Israel, they do not.)**

* What you call Coltrane you call me, under board rules.

** No, Hank, not because Israelis are largely gay, but because Israel is a democracy.

BTW, re the tank pic, WTF was that chick's malfunction? There's protesting, and then there's just being a full on imbecile. I won't say good riddance, but I would say "exceptional example of natural selection at work."

I'm going for my GED in the fall

Anybody recommend a good prep course, with emphasis on writing?

They hand that out at AA now?

If being a full-on imbecile was sufficient justification for getting run over by a tank, I'd buy myself an Abrams M-1 tomorrow and head for midtown Manhattan with a twinkle in my eye.

She laid down in front of a bulldozer (I don't know why I confused it with a tank) whose driver's vview of her was blocked by the scoop on the front of the vehicle.

"Hello?" (with campy affectation)

If you don't understand my posts, they can't be slogans. One position, please.

And as Sebby has made clear in terms that even you can understand, anyone I can't see assumes the risk of getting run over. It's their damn fault for being between my bulldozer and their house. Idiots.

2. Like I never bitch when my neighbors play music loud or have parties- I figure that's how they want to live, and I shouldn't try to change them.

Israel just has to learn that it's neighbors like to kidnap it's people and shoot rockets at it- live and let live I say.

Just as its neighbors need to live with the fact that it is going to invade or bomb the fuck out of them, or send in troops or Mossad assassins to kill their warlords if they get too out of line. So it has always been, so it shall ever be.

Sorry - I had a work crisis and I am so far behind I can't catch up. But before Lieberman was being discussed. Lieberman's primary challenger is only helping the Republicans. If I was a Democrat I would have stuck behind Lieberman and would have been mad as hell at the challenger for hurting the Dems chances of taking over the Senate. But that is until Liberman stated if he lost, he would run as an Independent. The Senate and the House are all about numbers. When voting, you should vote for the person who is in the party you want to be in power. Once Lieberman said that if he lost he would run as an independent, he showed that he doesn't care about the Democrat party anymore. If he believed in the values of the Democrat party, he would want to see it in the majority. But by running as an independent, he shows that he cares more for himself than the party he is a member of. I am just glad we don't have someone like him in the Republican party right now. I also can't believe that some people expected Hillary to back Lieberman if he lost the primary and ran as an independent. People who thought she might back him if he lost understand as much about politics as I understand about brain surgery.

And yet they've tried to be friendly. Seems like your adage needs to back to the drawing board.

Except for the wall-building, helicopter gunship, bombing, troops running through settlements shooting and setting shit on fire stuff, that is.

Don't get me wrong. I'm pro-Israel. I firmly believe they as a nation need to exist and we as a nation need to support them. But let's not deny the fact that both sides are far more committed to violence and intolerance than they are to peace.
