Atleast you pulled that poll out of your ass and lightened up. I'd say that an improvement over your empty rhetoric.

That makes one of us, at least. So far you haven't failed at hypocrisy. Oh, the irony...

LOL, hypocrisy? Alright, this is actually kind of entertaining. Humor me.

well alpha, to be fair you started this shitfight. if you have a particular, legitimate concern related to shaolin's political persuasion(s) then by all means attack it.

but baseless assumptions over something he has yet to confirm his agreeance with makes you look like the clown.

Maybe. I already have, in this very thread. Did you bother reading my post?

lets see shall we?

Originally posted by shaolin_Z I find your ad hominem directed at someone you've never even bothered engaging in a discussion of any sort with rather pathetic.

that's a fairly valid assertion imo.

Originally posted by shaolin_Z And to dispell your dellusional perception, why exactly would keeping the holocaust on whatever ciriculum offend me in the slightest?

a fair response to your uninvited assertion.

quote:

Originally posted by shaolin_Z The only part I find repulsive is how the holocaust is used as a silent justification for the attrocities and crimes of the state of Israel, and the fact that countless other gentile victims of the holocaust, and Stalins much bigger holocaust, are somehow less significant.

ie the limits of my interest in how the holocaust is treated is related to modern day israel, not islam (fair point imo).

quote:

Originally posted by shaolin_Z I find degenerate and unenlightened fools such as yourself to be rather sad excuses for human beings.

well, cant blame a man for being a bit ticked off with you alpha!

damn. you know its a weird day in hell when i come out batting for the loony fringe of mr shaolin z

Haha. I think we're long lost brothers which is why we get along and can be at each others throats (on political issues) from time to time too .

Well, we see quite differently! Truly if someone is as much as likening the Holocaust to Israel -or Islam, for that matter- how can I even argue with you? Or are you missing the point? The point in the article is that it's not even about Israel nor shouldn't be, but rather about a history lesson and unspeakable atrocities commited in world history.

Jews aren't the only people that have suffered unspeakable attrocities, we all have. Something you might want to think about.
