    I responded to that, quite directly actually. Just repeating it won't change anything. I welcome you to address my statements or leave comment. To reiterate, Figure 1 and Figure 2 of the study that you're pulling your information from discounts the substance of your claim. Also, by the...

    Be Like England is the Common Pro-Gun Control Stance, but...

    I'm trying to keep up, that's why I'm asking you to help me out. =) That's a very interesting article. I guess I'll begin by pointing out that the information presented isn't really specifically challenged by Snopes so we're not really "debunking" Snopes with it, but it's still very interesting...

    Be Like England is the Common Pro-Gun Control Stance, but...

    I guess I'll reiterate in a different light. Snopes takes each individual claim made against Australia and systematically explains how the data can be distorted and even provides links to direct evidence. They don't just say "according to the AIC they are wrong", they provide me with some...

    Dang man. I'm surprised you would link me to that thread, considering the amount of backlash you received for it. I'm also surprised you considered that to be "debunking". I guess I was just expecting a meta-analyses of sorts or something, but you just continued reposting the same information...

    Oh, my mistake. It only linked to a single post so I thought that was literally the thread, but I see the full thread now. Thanks.

    Israeli "Settlers" and violence

    Do you have a citation for the ambassador's comments? I presume the rationale behind vetoing it was due to the Negroponte Doctrine. Seems a little unfaithful to read into it like that, too. The resolution's draft is pretty straightforward on what is being criticized. People--human beings with...

    Even for something like on December 19th, 2002? "On the killing by Israeli forces of several UN employees and the destruction of the World Food Programme (WFP) warehouse" Quoting the draft, "Expressing deep concern at the deliberate destruction by the Israeli occupying forces of a United...

    I've actually used the Jewish Virtual Library as a reference before. It looks like they have a good article on "the Chosen People idea". Thanks. What are your opinions of this? U.S. Vetoes of UN Resolutions Critical of Israel

    Regardless, they are still part of the problem and they are many. Why are we white-knighting Zionism if the Jewish faith itself isn't up for discussion? I'm open to learning about your ideas if you want to direct me to a site that shares your views.

    Israeli "Settlers" and violence

    I guess it's as equally annoying as people proposing a Islamic religious imperative to eradicate Jews. My mom supports Israel and literally only on the fact alone that they are God's chosen people. I don't really argue with her or her friends about it. I don't think my region is indicative of...

    I see. That's unfortunate to hear about your keyboard. I don't think any rational person supports literally full socialism. A good medium is found between the extremes of capitalism and socialism. I can't continue the discussion regarding diversity. We seem to be diametrically opposed on human...

    Israeli "Settlers" and violence

    I think we have a language barrier here because I struggle to follow your train of thought. It seems to be bouncing across numerous subjects. Anyways, if I'm reading correctly, I don't think we should just collectively toss our arms up and forfeit our ability to rise above animal instincts. We...
