See, you're doing the hypocrite move by assuming you are correct and that if everybody thought the same as you, we'd have a better outcome.

I don't know why I bother. You will probably pull a "It's different" on me.

So, if Turkey attacks the Kurds, I can't call Turkey out on it because I'd anti-Turkish? I can't state that China is attacking Tibet, because doing so would mean that I'm anti-Han Chinese? There's no way I can ever criticize Sudan's actions, because I'd be anti-Sudanese. In all three cases, I would be an irredeemable racist, an evil man, who should be executed for my thought crimes!
While I agree that one can criticise a nation without criticising it's ethnicity I'm not sure am I to be disgusted or amused by the way you squirm when faced with the very thought of yourself being a racist.

But don't worry you're not one of those filthy, evil, unscientific, republicans.
So yeah, you can go back to defending the Israeli nazi regime, fight the good fight!

Nope, doesn't make you less silly either.

Okay, guys, calm down. SC, you have a point. Fishers, you also have a point about the racism thing, although Servant Corps was making a joke about people taking racism way too seriously.

If you can't just settle this peacefully, you'll have to settle it like gentlemen; with pistols at dawn.

One last thing I would like to say on this subject:

Quote from: President Dwight D. Eisenhower
I believe the people want peace, indeed, I believe they want peace so badly that the governments will just have to step aside and let them have it.
Something to think about.

For those of you who do not know, he started the People to People Student Ambassador Program for that reason.

And this is how tinned food was invented.
Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

Heh. First hand report time.

Hammas signed a cease fire. A few days later, they violate it.

Yes. That was after the world outcry to stop the war.

Not to mention that just this morning, they fired 3 rockets at us. 2 hit near my house.

Thanks. As you may know, I already moved my computer to the safe room. (Every house built after I-Don't-Remember-When has one in each apartment. It is bomb proof.) I can't hear the siren anyway with my headphones on.
