By your token we shouldn't have an interest in anything that may exist outside our own perceptions - but you know what? The tree falling in the woods really does make a sound even if you can't hear it, you deaf twat.

My point was self-evident, we have NO interest in gay rights in Iran, it doesn ...

Is it just me or does anyone else see almost no point to this thread. What goes on in Iran is a matter for Iranians and of no relevance to non-iranians. Its a harmless essay and may interest some but the tinge of self-serving moralising in this thread in kind of pathetic, so what if the UK has a ...

i'd rather listen to ulysses read by francis maude

great essay, how about one on the the UK's enlightened record on gay rights?

hey great post, have you looked at his latest publication, its out on the best-seller list in waterstones for the first time (at least first i've ever seen of chomsky in mainstream bookstores over here!) 'Conversations on US Power', it contains a lot of what's written here on iraq and US elections ...

i didn't mean to spark off a "you don't me, you don't know what I been through" speech, it was quite a simple point I was tryna get across. you can go around calling liberation movements terrorist organisations if you want i don't think it achieves anything

just as a side note, i do sympathise with the Palestinians as their plight resonates slightly more than others because as an Algerian both my grandparents fought in the FLN, and as a liberation movement they did some pretty nasty things in the pursuit for liberation, it just doesn't hold any moral ...

The video clearly shows Hamas thugs battering people in the street, if that's what you think is Israeli propaganda then that's your choice. What I saw was the majority of average people wanting their land back and to be able to live a peaceful life. Hamas are clearly incapable of politics without a ...

A brilliant red herring for Israel. I don't see how documentaries like this do anything constructive at all for addressing the main issues of the conflict. Its like a documentary about the factions within the ANC during aparthied, without even mentioning the level of repression indiginous south ...

best candidate of all!

you sound like you're part of a millenarian movement of the nineteenth century.

"Israel’s use of nuclear weapons in an attack on Iran would advance her strategic objective of replacing USA as the ‘ruling State’ in the world "

you are mental.

Israel serves no purpose but to get US senators and ...

The republican party hasn't drifted to the right, its taken a shift into a quite new direction altogether. Neo-conservatism has little to do with traditional republicanism, the main proponants can't stand the realist/realpolitik policies of people like nixon and kissinger. I think it wouldn't be as ...

lol yep gotta agree great first post

isn't it just to be accepted that we're prone to apply universal formulae in our pursuit to understand the worlds problems, we don't like not having meaning, religion comes into this aswell. The problem is the more an established consensus is forced the more radical these conspiracists become when ...

they become anti-Semites and start believing that Israel runs the world, etc.

Someone who believies Israel runs the world might be called an anti-zionist or a anti-neo-con .. but why anti-semite ?

Well, re-read what I actually said: "... they become anti-Semites and start believing that Israel ...
