That's a whole 18 years before the little bastard is out of the house!

I would surrender in the hopes of saving my family. In the hopes of surviving long enough to fight another day when the situation on the ground has changed.

I would not offer my family as sacrificial lambs while I try in vain to hang onto my pride and dignity.

I wanna adopt a 22 year old hot chic.

The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible.

Well...., when you consider that the Palestinian flag is a rip off of both the Puerto Rican AND Cuban flags (different color and no star), Yeah, I would say the Israeli flag is way more creative. Who else has a Star of David on their flag? ;)

I think you mean the Sahara Desert .

There is no history of any general being a homosexual .

How is this even a debate? Just using google and wikipedia one kind find in seconds what it would have taken hours to research before the internet.

Plus, you can stay completely up to date on all news stories instead of having to wait for the t.v. to report it, or newspapers to show it.

Why would you ban this nice fellow? This isn't a serious debate and he isn't causing trouble.... That's just wrong.

2. Business cycles can by caused by a number of things, but I fail to see how the Central Bank is one of them. Inflation caused by speculative buying, and followed by a price correction can have the effect of causing a boom followed by a bust. The issue with the bust is that a downward spiral occurs in which people get laid off, and so there are less people spending money, so businesses make less money so more people get laid off. In addition, sticky wages make it difficult, if not impossible for the problem to correct itself naturally.

1. This is where the government must step in and spend money. While it is true that this excess spending will cause inflation in the long run, in the short run it will allow more people to have jobs, and thus be able to spend more. This increased spending will allow businesses to hire more workers and allow the economy to return to full output. Full output means both full employment and a return to the way things were before the bust. All inflation does is raise the price level, no one is actually hurt and the economy is no longer depressed. In other words the poor are helped, not hurt.

But then again, innocent palestinians were driven out of their homes.

God isn't necessary for the universe to exist

Unless he was the one who created it.

Then they should just give up. Why keep on fighting a fight you can't win? How retarded is that?

Israel is just killing a bunch of stupid people that just don't know when to quit.

I'm so fucking tired of Hitler comparisons. Everybody does it for everything. It means nothing any more.

Those people should never have put Hamas in power. If they want their lives to get better, then they should get Hamas out of power.

You want to stop the Holocaust in Gaza? Then stop firing rockets into Israel. And while you're at it, learn to spell holocaust.

That's right. Palestinians cannot win a war against Israel. So why don't they just quit and end it?

No, there isn't any justice. So better for the Palestinians to give up the fight and try to integrate like the American Indian. At some point people have to wake up and realize that their children are worth more than a piece of land.

If you break my windows and your family protects you (even though they know you did it and that it was wrong to break my windows) then they sanction your actions and deserve the consequences that follow. Palestinians know Hamas is a terrorist organization and they still voted them into power and protect them. Know they have to suffer the consequences of their actions.

If the Palestinians want to be free from their miserable sanctioned lives, then they should stop launching rockets into Israel. How fucking hard is that?

Our loss is so much bigger that some handmade rockets that hits israeli cities.

So Hamas launches rockets and Israel retaliates and life gets hard in Gaza. Then stop Hamas from launching rockets. Palestinians voted Hamas in, vote them out. How hard is that?

How can we equal between F16 , tanks, apache, military ships ....etc with small handmade rockets ????

You can't. So why bother putting a group in power that is to brain dead to realize that you can't fight f16s with rockets? Why put someone in power that will ultimately make life in Gaza a lot more difficult?

This is not Fair !!!

Life is not fair.

Screw the Palestinians .

The unnecessary downvoting must stop. I'm upvoting this because it doesn't deserve a downvote. This is ludicrous.

I totally agree! Skittles are boring. In fact, I think they're gross. Reese's are the way to go. ;)

My boyfriend says he wont kiss anyone after they've.... you know....

Because I'm a meanie that has sold his soul to the down vote devil. Tread lightly or you'll feel the wrath of the down voter!

Yeah, I down vote for not reason. What of it? All you people on the other side are getting down voted for no reason other than that's what I do. No rebuttal, no nothing.

Oh, shoot, I lost a few points! Well, it's a small price to pay. I only wish I had more points to lose by down voting people.

You freaking optimist :)

I ought to down vote you :)

Hey, I got 32 points, yay :)

You know what pisses me off? When somebody has two arguments in the place of one. I've seen you do this so many times and now I'm just really pissed. Nobody upvoted or downvoted your first argument, so you could have just edited it and added some more! Why do you need to have both? Oh yeah... for the points!

This link didn't make it in my previous post.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6_day_war

Read about the Hamas charter by clicking the links bellow.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas

Then tell me again how Hamas is not hell bent on destroying Israel. Tell me again how Hamas only wants the lands stolen in 1967.

Read about the conditions leading up to the war in 1967 and tell me again how Israel instigated that war.

I am letting you know what the impression is that you are giving off to the rest of us, but I don't think you give a damn anyway, and that is fine.

What the hell is the point of this debate? I wish that I could downvote the debate... this is up there as one of the most stupid!

Now, I know that downvote was supposed to be negative and downvote things, but I like to see this kind of attitude!

I agree with soccer, try to post some thing other than a darn link, and add your own thoughts to the debate! Thanks! =)

That has to be one of the stupidest things on this site I have read, that Joe has not posted, that is.

And you post to get the most number of points on this site.

And you post to see your name every where.

And you post to piss people off.

And what the heck is that supposed to mean? Is that a mean comment because she is gay? Putting a ;) after things does not make it ok, Joe! When people respond to your immaturity in an immature tone you don't seem to take it very well, so you can dish it out but not take it!

And should we all feel the same way if you are murdered? Hell, how cold can you be?

And why don't you vote? You certainly shoot your mouth off enough on this site that it seems like you would want a say in the elections. Are you not an American citizen?

Do you just post on this site for the sake of posting?

Seriously? It was proven a long time ago.

Here, check it out:

I said I think it might have grown out of the observation that light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks.

It's got nothing to do with having white blood. It's just that descendants of the lighter-skinned African tribes are more intelligent than the descendants of the darker-skinned tribes. Everybody knows that.

That's an interesting point. My theory is that it's based on the fact that light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks.

I'm sorry, that's incorrect.

Certainly. Here are some questions that have appeared on recent I.Q. tests. Number one: "You have been invited over for cocktails by the officer of your trust fund. Cocktails begin at 4:30, but you must make an appearance at a 6:00 formal dinner at the Yacht Club. What do you do about dress?

A. Wear your blue-striped seersucker suit to cocktails and change into your tuxedo in the bathroom, apologizing to your host for the inconvenience.

B. Wear your tuxedo to cocktails, apologizing to your host for wearing a dinner jacket before 6:00 PM.

C. Walk to the subway at Columbus Circle and take the "A" Train uptown."

Well, this is the major problem with these studies. The measurements of I.Q. which form the basis of comparison come from tests composed by whites for whites. The tests are culturally biased; it's not surprising that whites would score better than blacks.
