I actually encourage DIALOG...<BR/><BR/>There's an old joke, in which Secretary of State Colin Powell goes into the UN Security Council to discuss peace in the Mideast. He asks the Israeli representative to state his claim on the land. The Israeli diplomat says, <BR/>" My Ancestor Moses heard God's voice in a burning bush. He went to take off his shoes since it was a holy place, and a Palestinian stole his shoes". Hey, wait a minute, the Palestinian delegate said, "We never stole your shoes, We weren't even there". The Israeli replied, "OK, we've established that we were there first, and the arabs and Palestinians ONLY came to the land AFTER us...End of case."<BR/><BR/>And by the way:<BR/><BR/>If you look at the video, you'll discover that it is a SCHOOL that was turned into a BOMB...<BR/><BR/>And Again by the way:<BR/>We were there first. Way before you were ever there.<BR/><BR/>and...Sir WINSTON Churchill screwed up the world (Mid-East AND INDIA) when he was in charge of the remains of the OTTOMAN empire.<BR/><BR/>AND again.<BR/><BR/>You were in the land for less time, then we've been around.<BR/><BR/>sorry. I do REALLY want to have decent conversations.<BR/><BR/>Please be polite.<BR/>We are NOT invaders. As a matter of fact we BOUGHT all the land you claim to have lived on since the 1800's. <BR/>We bought it from the landowners who held title to it (in bagdad, in Damasus, In Turkey,etc.)<BR/><BR/>And just wait. <BR/>The entire Mideast will be destroyed if you cannot accept the UN TWO state RESOLUTION of 1948.<BR/><BR/>There must be recognition of the RIGHT of the JEWISH state to exist, based on the 1948 UN RESOLUTION...Mark Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08713628570394054338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21826291.post-31397009221795030142009-01-19T03:27:00.000-05:002009-01-19T03:27:00.000-05:00The thing which you do not accept is that Palestin...The thing which you do not accept is that Palestine is occupied by invaders.<BR/>Those invaders had come from different parts of world.<BR/>The invaders will be defeated and Palestine will return to its real owners.<BR/>Palestanians.<BR/>Just wait couple and years and you will see that in pare eyes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21826291.post-79607405866123012952008-09-25T00:25:00.000-04:002008-09-25T00:25:00.000-04:00Let keep it fun...

During that talk however, the kid apparently also got the "no abortion, ever" part of the spiel from Mom. I think it's too bad that two young kids are about to have their lives changed and ruined because Mom's a politician and is afraid even a low-key, fake name procedure might cause outcries. It was easier to get an abortion without the fear of being 'outed' when abortions were illegal. Today the clinics require identification for any procedure and it is far too tempting for some medical worker to make a few bucks selling the juicy gossip to a magazine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21826291.post-66830738428186699252008-08-26T19:40:00.000-04:002008-08-26T19:40:00.000-04:00OK.Reason #1: he becomes unbeatable.The Jewish vot...OK.<BR/><BR/>Reason #1: he becomes unbeatable.<BR/>The Jewish vote... goes to the team with the jew<BR/><BR/>Reason # 2: the women (who feel obama ) shouldn't have run gets their vote too<BR/><BR/>Reason #3: Lieberman is essentiallly a republican, and has been since 2000.<BR/><BR/>your thoughts?Mark Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08713628570394054338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21826291.post-25995778980389203862008-07-31T15:36:00.000-04:002008-07-31T15:36:00.000-04:00Please Pass the site around.(http://sos-newdeal.bl...Please Pass the site around.<BR/>(http://sos-newdeal.blogspot.com )<BR/>Also I agree the food and housing is important, that is why in the training/alternate service program (modeled after the Works Project Administration in the FDR administration) <BR/>training the poor/unaffiliated<BR/><BR/>as well as housing and a LIVING wage are so critical!)Mark Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08713628570394054338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21826291.post-89310542128153523572008-07-31T11:24:00.000-04:002008-07-31T11:24:00.000-04:00Amen to your list.

I hope that congress can find a way to halt all his stuborness and insistance that if we don't agree with him, we are traitors and terrorists, when it is he who is the real terror.<BR/><BR/>Also, in reply to your "semi-question" on the radio the other day about who we should name various things after, you asked if we can name something for the Bronx zoo.

If we do something which is pioneering, we will get arrows in the back. But at the end of the day, a whole lot of people will have a whole lot of fun.<BR/>5. Be good at something; it makes you valuable.<BR/>6. If you live your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself, and the dreams will come to you.<BR/><BR/>Check out the tribute quiz on the lecture at www.mystudiyo.com : you can add your own questions at the end of the quiz.<BR/>http://www.mystudiyo.com/activity.php?act=558Sara Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237666520242525798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21826291.post-76069163427150626782007-10-04T19:57:00.000-04:002007-10-04T19:57:00.000-04:00Thanks for stopping by, hope you will subscribe to...Thanks for stopping by, hope you will subscribe to the feed.<BR/><BR/>Now.<BR/><BR/>I need more ideas on how to rebuild this community.<BR/><BR/>I really do think that this attitude<BR/>of what I'll call, "Good-Ole-Boy-Racism(™) need to be resolved and repaired.<BR/><BR/>So. <BR/>How can we do this.<BR/><BR/>I admit that I don't have a lot of contact in my personal life with the blacks in my community, but I don't go around condoning such racist behavior either.<BR/><BR/>Maybe my ideas of a national 3 year draft/service program for ALL "YOUTE*" after graduating High School is a good start.<BR/>If the kid is from the south, ship them to the Northern Cities, and Vice Versa.<BR/><BR/>Hmmm.<BR/><BR/>*(rent the movie, "My cousin Vinny"--It's great!and stars the late great ??
