I mean they get angry just because Hamas randomly shoots missles into their cities  so I understand the outrage from the media.
I agree with this commentary
"This is really so completely ridiculous. For days the Muslim Hamas goons in Gaza launch rockets at Israeli civilians. The "Arab world" is quiet. Then Israel retaliates and the "Arab World' suddenly goes nutso. How long do we tolerate this asinine double standard?
Where was the Arab world when those rockets were being fired at innocent Israelis? Sitting on their butts and shutting the h@!! up, that's where .. and the same goes for much of the oh-so-enlightened European Union. Then Israel retaliates and the world is coming to and. Everybody tells Israel to be careful about causing civilian casualties. Do any of you remember "the world" telling Hamas to be careful about where they aim those rockets? Did "the world" warn Israelis about civilian casualties among the so-called "Palestinians?"
Hamas tells Israel that if they don't stop their assault then Hamas is going to resort to suicide bombings. Are you believing this? Hamas feels free to fire rockets indiscriminately into the Israeli civilian population. They're telling Israel that if it tries to stop them from playing with their rockets, they'll move on to suicide bombs. In other words ... the message is that Israel just has to endure the rocket attacks and do nothing in return. 
Israel is to be admired here. They have a civilian population to protect, and the h@!! with world opinion. When "the world" shows as much concern for innocent Israelis dying under Hamas rocket barrages as it does for Palestinians, then maybe Israel will listen.

The problem is that Israelis believe (sm)
that the entire area is thier land - Manifest Destiny, if you will - and who agreed to what years ago really doesn't matter.
this is not right: When the Israelis pulled out of
Gaza in 2005, they destroyed all houses and everything that might be useful to the Palestinians. And now they are destroying the very livelhood of the Palestinians in the Westbank, their olive trees, their agriculture and their houses.
Doggone it you're right.
Maybe she ought to try my husband's folksy "goshdangit!" She's obviously brilliant, can't see why anyone wouldn't support her for president. LOL
I'll be doggone!!!!
I was looking for some documentation about the AmX bail-out and what did I find???? The next big biz looking for a handout is apparently going to be the newspaper industry. Here's a question for ya.....why can't MTs "restructure" as a group and qualify for a bail-out????
Now dagnabit, wait just a doggone minute!!!
Why on earth would you think WORKING Democrats would want to support freeloaders any more than working Republicans?? Uterly ridiculous!
He should have been clearin' brush in Crawford, doggone it!
You betcha!
whats interesting is how every one is more concerned about 2 israelis dead in a couple days by home
than they are concerned about HUNDREDS of people having bombs dropped out of F16s on them......oh, but I forgot....they are just "terrorists" so they don't matter to you do they? Now THAT I find interesting (if not a little disturbing).
sooo...you WERE there, and you DO know?
If you will do search, there are a lot more snippets and sermons to be found on the internet. If you will read up on black liberation theology...which is the cornerstore of Trinity Church....if you really care that is, you will see what Obama is about. Wright thinks Louis Farrakhan is a great man. Know much about the Nation of Islam? About Farrakhan? Does Obama's associations with radical leftist socialist not bother you? Does the fact that he believes in redistribution of wealth (socialist to the point of being Marxist) not concern you in the least?
RON PAUL IS SOOO RIGHT!
This is why the powers that be behind the scenes made sure Ron Paul didn't get proper media coverage and couldn't get his message out there........too many agendas in governments around the world. We do need to keep our butts out of this......no matter what happens, the middle east will always and has always been fighting. Surely the U.S. doesn't think WE will be able to suddenly stop all that. All we are doing is making matters worse by taking sides at this point. If Israel feels the need to counter attack or invade the gaza strip, regardless, we need to stay out of it. Let them do what they need to do and we need to stay out.

That is SOOO cute!
Kinda like the one about the redneck that starved to death because he hid his food stamps under his work boots? Oh yeah, that's just WAAAY too funny!
LOL and sooo true!
xx
My, we are touchy. sm
It is not worth arguing about because frankly I think there might be something very wrong with you! LIke the other poster said, I am out of here!
what are you touchy about
didnt get your point.
I am sooo sick of hearing...
that Obama will do things "because he's black." What kind of reasoning is this? Did we forget that he's just as much white as he is black? What makes him more black than he is white? Did anyone notice that he was raised in a white environment, with little contact with his father? Is he not a product of his environment? Calling this man black OR white discredits his heritage and does nothing but show the racism that is so obviously alive and well in the US!
Canning is sooo easy.
Just moved from a city with a population of around 4 millon to a suburb in Oregon. I live about 1 to 4 miles away from 6 farms and we have lots of Farmer Markets around. I pick all my produce and flowers from these farms during summer and fall months. I have learned how to can strawberries, peaches, blackberries, marionberries, raspberries, pears, plum jam, fig jam, tomatoes, pickles, and applesauce. Also have plenty of nuts.
I also have a huge pantry now stocked with paper products, canning good, potatoes, staple items. I tend to worry about inflation coming or even a depression.
I have been told I am a "horrible mean hoarder" on this board, but in reality, I love to help others. In fact, I am a member of the CERT and help out neighbors, family, and friends and my community, ESPECIALLY during a time like this when we know of special people and families who are hurting because of job layoffs. Our neighborhood has families with all kind of special skills and if we need to, ever down the road, we can all come together and what do you call it, bartering? We have mechanics, doctors, IT, nurses, financial, business owners, police officers, etc., and we all come together to help each other out.
Anyway, canning is very, very easy. Should try it. It is fun and I also have canning goods that I give away as Christmas gifts and people in my area and family and friends outside of the state of Oregon just LOVE these as gifts. It really saves money too all the way around.
I agree, sooo, then why is all the work
It is cheaper too.
Just a little touchy about this subject.
Get so darn mad about the whole Iraq mess we are in, and wish it would go away. Bin Laden is a thorn in Bush's side because of the friendship between their families that it would be obscene for him to kill his friend. So transparent. Makes me ill to think of what he has done to this country, when there is a REAL threat with Iran. Now what? Our troops in Iraq fighting a war that can't be won, but Iran is now free to do whatever they want. Sorry about the harsh words earlier, just sick of the whole matter, and where we as a nation are headed. And it is good to see that his lying is finally coming out, what dispicable things he has said and done, and what a can of worms! Thank goodness it is coming out.
NP. This is most definitely a touchy subject
You got the right idea. Wish I had that kind of self control to just say no.
Wow, feeling a bit touchy are we? After all...
Excuuuuuze me for asking.
I'm just touchy today..sorry.

The "i" was deliberate... you sure are touchy
Your Editor is on your back all the time for errors. I'm sure of it.
A little touchy, aren't we?
I never said anything about Christianity. All I did was provide the definition of a cult. However, if the shoe fits, wear it!
Touchy, aren't we.....LOL (sm)
I do plenty of reading, thank you very much. However, at this point scientific reports supporting or not supporting the idea of global warming are a dime a dozen. And why is that? Exactly why do we not have as you would say one definitive voice either giving validity to or negating claims of the human footprint? Perhaps this topic hasn't had the funding lately (I'd say for about the last 8 years) that it deserves? And why is that? Because there's still money to be made in oil.
The one thing you can't deny is the fact that the earth's temperature is rising. We can dispute the impact that humans have had on the rate of this warming, but that doesn't change the fact that it is warming. Assuming you have done your share of reading as well, you should know that the polar ice caps are at this moment melting and sea levels are rising. Yes, they've been doing this for a long time, but now the effect is exponential. Hmmm....wonder what happened there...
So, regardless of how global warming came about (which is the true argument), why wouldn't we want to try to do something about it?
Tell me, what do you think will happen when the ice caps are gone? (And yes, they are definitely melting....look it up.) What do you think will happen when the CO2 buildup gets to the point of suffocation? (Yep, that's been documented as well.) Or maybe that's just not important to you. Maybe God will just appear and it will all go away? Or maybe you pray to a different god....perhaps the one that lives in your wallet?
The society that does not explore progressive thinking is the society that is oblivious to the dangers ahead.
sooo Hillary is pushing for this electronic
not sure exactly what she means by that but that sounds scary for our profession. Anybody got the 411 on this?
No, not touchy, just all fuzzy inside...
nm
why are u so touchy over a simple question?
nm
BT, I am sooo with you, we also finally paid the mortgage, the cars are ours....sm
and no more credit, bad debts and loans killed the economy and Wall Street. Just providing for our 3 kids and making ends meet is the daily challenge, but we have each other and a good extended family, I so hope that the good thing that comes out of this crisis is LESS MATERIALISM in this country, back to simpler living and being happy with less!
