It took me several years to learn I enjoyed the idea of playing Eve, but I didn't enjoy playing Eve.
Play Elite: Dangerous and Star Citizen. Playing them is like playing an Eve that isn't full of murderous sociopaths.
Okay, a much-awaited update and a request for comments!
So far, Daniel agreed to pretty much all our demands, with the notable exception of which logo to use in the post-reunification forum. Our proposal was to hold a vote after the reunification to determine which logo should be used. Their stance is that we should firmly stick to their logo, claiming that it's an integral part of the society's visual identity, and that it's easy to use in one-colour screen printing.
For the time being, I've done my best to address their concerns and made another case for the vote. That said, if the community would prefer their logo, or doesn't care about being able to choose, then perhaps this isn't something that even needs to be discussed? What do you guys think: should we have a logo vote?
According to the commentator, “even the most modest practical realization of [Putin’s] idea of ‘assembling the Russian lands’ requires changes of state borders at least of two NATO member countries, Latvia and Estonia.” Because of the Western alliance’s Article 5 in which an attack on one is an attack on all, that would seem impossible given MAD.
But as many analysts have suggested before, “the MAD doctrine considered only a single most destructive scenario of a military conflict between nuclear powers, total war.” But there are other scenarios, including the limited use of nuclear weapons by one side under conditions when the other side does not respond lest that lead to “mutual suicide.”
Are you seriously suggesting that the reason Europeans and Arabs were anti-zionist is because they "coveted other people's lands"? Really?
Yes.
[/quote]Uh, but you are playing the blame game. Just really badly.
Really? Where?
Yes, the idea that Jews own a piece of land "because we were like, totally there a long time ago" does generate quite a bit of hatred. Maybe they should have stopped coveting other people's lands.
It only makes sense that both sides take preventative measures to solve the problem. Playing the blame game does literally nothing.
Well, I have an idea. To stop anti-zionism, Israel should stop murdering swathes of people and taking their land. If you want people to like you, do things people like. You can't do whatever the hell you want, then complain because people don't like you for doing it, and you sure as hell can't patsy it onto "well they're just racist". If they can stop destroying their surroundings for a bit, maybe then the people who hate them because they do terrible things will die off and you'll be left with the people who hate them because racism.
It would help if the group as a whole ousted the bad nuts. I'm not sure how crazy Yaakov is in his own life (or even if he is just an elaborate troll) but it seems like if a Jew such as him existed, whatever radical synagogue he attends would be denounced and disowned.
Furthermore stereotyping is a basic human psychological event. You can try to stomp it out, but there is no "un-learning" it. Your brain will always try to put things into neat little boxes because that is what it is programmed to do. You can only stop the events you are fully aware of and I guarantee there is no one on this planet that can stop every single one of them. Instead of trying to stop that you should probably concern yourself with stopping the bad apples from ruining the whole bunch. It's just like when you said my idea to make Israel unexist is dumb. Yeah, it is, but your "don't stereotype" idea is just the same kind of idealism.
I never said it isn't a factor, but the majority of dislike for Israel is because of what it has done, not what it is.
[/quote]I guess black people are also responsible for racism, women are responsible for sexism, yada yada. That line of argument doesn't end well
Uhh, yeah. That is actually precisely what I am saying. Except not people, persons. For example, persons like Yaakov are responsible for Jewish stereotypes and hatred. It only takes one to sow hatred for thousands. One bad black person could result in a thousand good black people taking flak.
Have you considered the possibility that the Jews in general suck? I mean, to have two (or more) different groups of people over thousands of years dislike Jews can't just be ignorant hate
Israel isn't and never has been "the jews." Israel is a country, one that only gets away with the shit they do because they have a cozy political tie with the US. When you start thinking about boycotting Israel and say "no, no, you shouldn't boycott 'the jews'" you've already missed the point.
There is no reason to ever defend what Israel is doing and the country should not, nor ever, exist. It was the dumbest idea in the history of the UN to form an aggressive land-dominating state right in the middle of one of the most war-torn areas in the history of man.
In some ways, it unfortunately is.
For every x amount of normal Jews that shouldn't be hated, you'll have at least one Yaakov that gears everyone up for the hate train. It's easy to hate people like Yaakov and it's even easier to hate them because he is a Jew, but correlation isn't causation. Someone like Yaakov would look down on other people, regardless of whether he was born a Jew or not. It's just his vile personality.
There is no group in the world that doesn't have some hatred from another group. It's what people do. I happened to hate a country, and I can tell you right now it isn't because it is mostly Jewish.
The problem is that Yaakov thinks most of the world hates Israel because its Jewish, whereas most of the world actually hates Israel because of the shit it stirs up. This leads to overall Jewish hate. Basically, he suffers from "don't hate me because I'm beautiful" syndrome.
The UK was regularly rocked by IRA bombs between the 60s to the 90s. My own town has a momument to the people killed by explosions deliberately planted in pubs. We didn't respond by levelling half of Dublin or expanding Northern Ireland ever southwards with the backing of bulldozers. We responded with a long, patient, police and intelligence mission, identifying those individuals responsible and arresting them (sometimes wrongly, but at least we could release the Birmingham Six, rather than scraping them out of body bags). We eventually came to a settlement and talks continue to this day.
If Israel could make peace with Egypt, then why can't they work something out with Hamas? After all, if I make them my friend, have I not destroyed them as an enemy?
Actually, no. But its easy enough to find. I read it quite awhile back, and didn't feel it necessary to keep a link to it. It shouldn't be hard to find, however.Found it.
It doesn't say that all Jews must be killed, only that they are enemies for (in some cases) good reasons. It does state that Jews can live peacefully under Islam so long as they don't try to claim dominance over Islam. (Paraphrasing)
Though they are going to dissolve Israel. Also, Hama's has politically denounced the charter as irrelevant and not being followed.
3 times. All of which are understandable. The Six Day War started when Arabs intended to attack Israel. The Suez War was fought alongside other nations when Egypt attempted to nationalise the Suez Canal. And the Lebanon War was fair, since it followed the assassination of an Israeli Ambassador. You aren't too bright, are you?
You say Israel only started one war, and one post later with minimal prodding you admit it is 3, and then in a petulant display, insult me because you were wrong. Ka-ching!
You made it sound as though Jews were one of the most hated groups in the present. Only a few members of fringe groups believe that the holocaust was justified.
Delicious t-shirt money.So that's why you are here!
