Re: But not a drop to drink.
 

Perhaps. Or perhaps we would move out of the settlements of questionable legality we built in the midst of occupied but not annexed territory.

Or maybe if our water concern was really about tampering, rather than driving them out as the one Israeli who's opinion we have access to says, we'd find a way to securely provide water instead of deny it.

I know you still think it's possible to kill your way out of a conflict of this type, but unless you're really willing to contemplate genocide, which thus far the Israeli public has not, you're wrong.

I heard a rodent living in your neighbors house has been saying nasty things to his friends about your cat. Has your cat been threatened?


Some people would, obviously.

I don't have any experience with the games or their security, but I would imagine that its related to some people wanting to kill any Israeli's they can, especially if doing so is high profile.

If you don't have a moral compass and can't afford to buy one, perhaps you could rent one, or borrow from a friend.

The three-day old baby in that story -- does he want to kill all Israelis, all Jews? I tend to think not. If not, at what age do you think it's fair to assume that the baby is a genocidal maniac? Five days? Seven days?

Re: But not a drop to drink.
 

you keep asking me what I'd do. I have never cleaned a baby's corpse off a bus seat, have you? we may not be in the best position to judge.I will say in my little suburb, I would not deny a child water, no matter the religion or political position. namaste?

as to "moral compass" you need to find a compass, or something that let's you see something other than a single direction. you have 20,000 posts, and not 1 has taken the side of the Israelis, or am I misremembering? you need some ability to change direction son.

Re: But not a drop to drink.
 

You are totally misremembering. For one thing, I keep saying that TSA should imitate the Israelis.

But more to the point, who says I'm not taking the side of the Israelis? I linked to one Israeli criticizing other Israelis. I take the side of Israel. I don't think that what's described in that article is in the best interest of Israel. Nor, I suspect, do you.

has the CBO estimated how many homeless children the tax/penalties associated woith HCR will create? when the ignorant try to do good, it so often blows up.

Re: Pepper sprayed for public safety.
 

Does spanky know about this opportunity? I thought the Rs were all about creating homeless children, preferable very thirsty ones.

Re: But not a drop to drink.
 

what if Israel required all Palistinians to buy their own source of water, and taxed them if they failed to. That I take it would be acceptable?

Re: Pepper sprayed for public safety.
 

Perhaps Wonk can enlighten us on whether the federal government can put a tax lien on your house.

Re: But not a drop to drink.
 

Must it be either / or? I'm sure Israel could do both.

Re: But not a drop to drink.
 

Pretty sure other countries don't try to keep their governments from solving real problems (like dehydration) with something like the Commerce Clause.

Re: But not a drop to drink.
 

I agree, which is part of why I see comparisons to WWII as pretty close to invoking the Hitler-analogy disqualification rule. I realize Hank made the comparison and not you.

So let's sing a song of cheer again!
 

I have neither a kosher nor Halal hot dog in this particular hunt, though I figure that if a stone cold IRA gunman like Martin McGuinness can shake hands with Elizabeth, R. -- and if she can shake hands with a man who may have ordered the death of her cousin (who was also her husband's uncle) Lord Mountbatten -- there is always a chance of peace.

But that is not my point. No. My point is that the GOP of 2012 is acting toward the ACA an awful lot like the GOP of 1936 acted towards Social Security. "It's a tax! The government is forcing you to give Washington money to pay for their socialist agenda. You're compelled to participate whether you want to or not"

We shall see if it works better for Mitt in 2012 than it did for Alf Landon in 1936. My prediction? Mitt does better, but loses in a relatively close popular vote, and a non landslide but Not so Close electoral vote tally, to the socialist Muslim from Indonesia (or maybe Kenya), Barry Soetoro.

what percentage of Americans has a retirement fund in place when SS was started? What percentage of American had HC when HCR was passed?
