As an expat who travels around a fair bit, Farcebook has its uses. I arrive somewhere and post a picture - easy way to mass inform. My siblings post v...
Don't watch TV (never owned one) or movies or lately read much. I'm more into news/current affairs/documentaries/podcasts etc. Not sure how useful tha...
Despite being a big gaming fan when I was younger, I kind of agree with @"Hanover" on this one. Gaming seems to me to be a path away from rather than ...
Don't take it personally, Tiff. This person does not know you. On the larger issue, I find it hard to relate to the U.S. prescription drug culture. Se...
First of all, you are not responsible for an evil you did not vote for. You are for one you did. Secondly, people voting for "the lesser of two evils"...
No, because in the UK and Ireland most Christians probably support gay marriage. But in any case, if the baker can be compelled to write "Allow gay ma...
That's a fair point. I honestly don't read it enough to judge to what extent it represents the classical liberal tradition. Anyhow, as I admitted earl...
I doubt many would characterize it as even "sort of" liberal in its current form. The Spectator's most well-known author and former editor is Boris Jo...
The Spectator supports the working class like the noose supports the hanged man. It's a British conservative magazine sympathetic to a British conserv...
The fact that no-one in the immediate vicinity batted an eyelid at this execution is definitely shocking. But you're using the same strategy that @"Ha...
From your deeply biased perspective, sure. And from the deeply biased perspective of the Palestinians the blame is all Israel's. The vast majority of ...
No, but the people of the Crimea did vote to join Russia. The vote might not be considered entirely free and fair but no-one's going to deny that the ...
I can unequivocally condemn some of what Israel does, and some of what the Palestinians do. I'm not going to blanketly condemn either Israel or the Pa...
I think we've made some progress. We seem to both acknowledge that : 1) It is not accurate or fair to blanketly refer to Palestinians as "terrorists" ...
There are rules concerning self-defense, both legal and ethical, even in war. If there weren't, then you killing one of my civilians in a terrorist at...
I'm pretty sure you know that's not my position. If you don't, read over my posts, particularly the parts where I've repeatedly and unequivocally cond...
You said they had never shown themselves to be in favour of a two state solution. That is simply false, Hanover. Read the newspaper article I added ab...
Yes, I am. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oslo_Accords Also, from the Israeli news source, Haaretz: How Many Times Must the Palestinians R...
Without moral rules or at least some ethical foundation, the debate descends into a shouting match. You shouldn't target innocent civilians or show di...
As much as I admire the Jewish people (a disproportionate number of my top 10 favourite historical figures happen to be Jewish) I don't think it's pos...
Anyhow, the other pillar of your argument seems to be that might is right; other countries have historically occupied others' lands and those others h...
The Palestinians do not all want to kill Israelis and take all their land. I think you know better than that. If you don't, you need to go back over t...
As an aside, a personal story. One of my favourite students who happens to be Russian once revealed to me that he is extremely homophobic. He wanted m...
My criticism was directed against Ted Cruz, particularly in light of his flirtation with hate preacher Kevin Swanson. My position on your position dep...
Yes, homophobia is wrong in my view. Discriminating against people because of their sexual preference is wrong. As is going to conferences and shaking...
What European or other developed nation questions the right of Israel to exist? Of course there are some groups (like Hamas) and countries (like Iran)...
