Posted 3 Jun 2010 by Fayvitt Post: And what is the IDF's code of ethics? "Purity of Arms" (Morality in Warfare) - The soldier shall make use of his weaponry and power only for the fulfillment of the mission and solely to the extent required; he will maintain his humanity even in combat. The soldier shall not employ his weaponry and power in order to harm non-combatants or prisoners of war, and shall do all he can to avoid harming their lives, body, honor and property. That is broken every time Israel goes on a rampage. Every time. |

Posted 3 Jun 2010 by Fayvitt Post: Well, Liam. Or whatever. Your blind stupidity angers me. Israel has run rampant over the Palestinian people ever since 1948, when they were first given military hardware such as tanks. They TERRORIZED the local populations and went on a killing rampage. Massacres such as Deir Yassin. Israel has been terrorizig Palestinians for over 60 years, and you're angry? You? Angry? How'd you feel if Russia (example) forcibly moved US citizens to maybe 1/2 of your country, and settled Iraqis (example) in the other half? Took all your weapons, and armed the Iraqis to the teeth? Then sat idly by and watched them do freely with you as they will? That is a deadset fair example of what happened to the Palestinian people. And you're angry? Get a grip on yourself. Edit: Removed insult + Israel should be begging Palestinians for forgiveness for the 60 years of atrocities committed against them. |

Posted 3 Jun 2010 by Fayvitt Post: Nobody speaks of the earth, we as a simple warehouse where we pass the day and fatten the cattle, he can. I saw the series of Mr. Sagan and the best chapter of all is number 13. Anyway ... speaking of the human race when we responsible for our actions ... both active and passive. Otherwise, I do not know any planet like ours, populated by human ... We are not simply a disease? Still doesn't quite answer the original question ;( |

Posted 3 Jun 2010 by Fayvitt Post: I think i'll have to defend the IDF forces involved in this illegal raid though. Considering they didn't have bulldozers to run the people over, or their lack of artillery support to use white phosphorous, this was probably the soldiers' first encounter with an 'armed' opponent. The IDF commandos would have literally shite themselves and 'opened up' with their paintball guns. You have to remember, Israel's blockade of Gaza must be working, they say it is. The IDF forces wouldn't have encountered weapons in combat before. |

Posted 3 Jun 2010 by Fayvitt Post: The elite naval commandos were sent to board the Turkish ship armed with paintball guns. Give it a couple of days to a week. They need to hire a sound stage and a director to get the footage in order. |

Posted 3 Jun 2010 by Fayvitt Post: Dude, those paint ball guns are lethal!!! Look at the death toll from the event. But i guess we can blame the terrorists on board. They all shot themselves in protest. |

Posted 3 Jun 2010 by Fayvitt Post: Are the Palestinians not allowed to bear arms, as is the rest of the world? I guess not. It's easier to deny them weapons, so they have to resort to the last resort, suicide bombings. Makes them look all terrorist like then, doesn't it? And a couple of links to those filmed reports would be handy too. As they say, seeing is believing. |

Posted 3 Jun 2010 by Fayvitt Post: U.N. Human Rights Chief: Israel's Blockade of Gaza Strip Is Illegal What part of this is not understood? http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,539363,00.html Why are you defending something that the UN and international community had deemed illegal? There's why the UN has no teeth. A decision is made that you do not like, so you choose to conveniently ignore the ruling.] Edit: Even worse, the UN can't intervene. The US vetoes it. |

Posted 3 Jun 2010 by Fayvitt Post: Well, the United Nations does try and get a lot done. But everytime they're on the verge of doing what the MAJORITY of countries want, the US vetoes it. The UN can't be blamed for America's vote. The UN also tried to get rid of the Veto vote itself, but hey, the US vetoed it. |

Posted 2 Jun 2010 by Fayvitt Post: Looking to the future, when our populations grow out of hand, and food becomes a true scarce commodity, we'll see how far our compassion goes then. The choice of feeding your own family enough to sustain them, or sending it off to somewhere else where inevitably, they have no chance of survival. That is our true nature, individual survival. What's happening with antibiotics atm? So many people with immuno defficiency diseases, that antibiotics are becoming useless. Yet those diseases get passed on, more generations need antibiotics where the healthy don't. When the strong "healthy" get sick, the antibiotics are useless, because the disease that should have died out generations ago has been allowed to survive in the weak. It's cold, but it's the truth. A truth not many will agree with or like. But hey, facts are facts. |

Posted 2 Jun 2010 by Fayvitt Post: Sorry Byron, but i'm going to be really harsh here. In our tenure of this planet, we humans have accumulated dangerous, evolutionary baggage propensities for aggression and ritual, submission to leaders, hostility to outsiders, all of which puts our survival in some doubt. But we humans have also acquired compassion for others, love for our children, a desire to learn from history and experience, and a great, soaring passionate intelligence the clear tools for our continued survival and prosperity. I'm a Darwin fanatic. Those traits up until the word 'compassion' are what got us to be the dominant species on earth. Not our 'compassion'. Our hostile attitudes allowed us to let the weak amongst us die, and the strongest survive to pass on those genes. The law of nature, survival of the fittest. Compassion is a weakness, that allows us today to foster a weakness in our culture. Those with genetic diseases, that normally would not survive, do today and dilute our gene pool, making us less resiliant as a species. In the human culture today, it isn't the strongest passing on the best genetic material, the weakest that would normally die off are being allowed through 'compassion' to pass on genetic flaws. I liken our evolution to a battle zone. Triage aka 'compassion', is given to those who have the most chance of survival, and those of most value. We practice it in wartime, and our whole evolution has been a war. Of survival. The weak die. Compassion doesn't set us apart from animals. They exhibit it also. Just like sadness, love, joy. Lots of animals show that. But when it comes to the crunch, they leave the weakest behind, for the good of the whole. That's what humans seem to have forgotten. We aren't growing stronger as a species, we just keep inbreeding genetic flaws that should be left to die out. In nature, they would have been. |

Posted 2 Jun 2010 by Fayvitt Post: I doubt that... Sounds more like the sort of 'long tales of old' you get in an Irish public house... Well, there's your answer. And it wasn't quoted by you. I was responding to ML1. Why are you interdicting? Do you have an argumentative streak? And about me? Well, i know my self, my limitations, and don't hide behind them. Do you have an excuse for your interjecting, or do you just like insulting peoples' intelligence, or your lack of it? |

Posted 2 Jun 2010 by Fayvitt Post: Because truth is often stranger than fiction. When has politics ever been open and transparent? The elected governments no longer serve the people, nor are they answerable to the people. They serve what they believe is in the nations interest, due to the unseen agendas that we theorize about. We only get 1/3rd of the truth, and even that's mixed with a whole lot of cattle manure. |
