If that's all your argument boils down to, OK, I'll leave it to others, but nobody here is claiming or is likely to claim that the first inhabitants o...
Re: your edit What specific quote of mine is this supposed to connect to? This is the second time I've asked you. The last time was your "Er no" which...
No, I don't think we simply need to go down the first come, first served route. It's much more complicated than that (and that should be crystal clear...
They really do talk funny up there. I've seen enough Coen brothers movies to know that. But the meatballs... Historically that's been true, which is p...
In the case of Zionism in particular, there is that element, yes, but national identity is not solely based on race and religion. You can be Palestini...
Ethnic cleansing is "the mass expulsion or killing of members of an unwanted ethnic or religious group in a society" so you can be against diversity /...
So what? Palestinians and Jews have claims to this land because they live there and have lived there historically not because of their race and religi...
Both Palestinians and Jews have reasonable claims to the land in that area. Zionism is the Jewish part of that claim and it's been internationally rec...

The complexity requires the application of intelligence, patience and empathy for both sides in any dispute over land, particularly one that has alrea...
And the corollary question is: should we just allow people to take others' land with impunity? Which on a grand scale translates to, is ethnic cleansi...
More sanctions means less money for Kim and his cronies to steal from their own economy. They have also proved their military point by flouting intern...

This is one instance where I would advise you to give in to peer pressure and just lay off. There are some people who will never appreciate your humor...
Slavoj Zizek does an interesting taxonomy of stupid people, dividing them into 'idiots', 'morons', and 'imbeciles' (as per your terms above). So, idio...
Funny that this is what finally caused the meltdown seeing as Trump broke most of his campaign promises already. I suspect at this point that Alex is ...

@"Kym" @"fdrake" already explained above what you need to do re OPs. Plus, see the site guidelines. The only part I didn't see mentioned was the quest...
