First of all, I also think this board is nice, actually it's my favorite one . Besides, if someone posts here he should know that his opinions probably will not be greeted by everyone like they would be if he'd be on a music board and posting things like "tiesto is the best", "yeah m8, that track roxx", etc. But since people here don't think all in the same way, it is nice to see their opinions, especially if they're backed up by good arguments. Sometimes posts here make me think differently than I did before about some subjects. Here was the first time I actually talked to people from the middle east about the middle east.
And while some posts could be considered offensive, I really never felt personally insulted by any one of them. I don't think anyone here has such a fragile mind that some stupid racist or ignorant post would make him personally feel very bad. If anyone has such a problem, that person doesn't post here anyway. It should be known that this forum is only for tough guys . I definitely want this forum to stay. The only person so far that I've noticed has said he doesn't like this forum was shlomo, and he was the one that made the most ignorant/racist post in this thread in the first place (I'm talking about the first one, the second one is better).
But still, nothing is perfect, especially your posts, so now, shlomo, about your second post...
While I am not opposed to the jewish state, I would be opposing it if it were based on religious laws. That's the exact reason I oppose islamic governments like Saudi Arabia and the like. The only thing that is making Israel different from the arabic world (with exception of Iraq ) is it's secularity. Israel shouldn't destroy the only thing that makes it better than the other countries in the region.

The problem was, that 3 generations before the holocaust, the jews of germany declared, "berlin is our new jerusalem!" And they started the reform movement. In the eyes of the Blessed One, G-D! (am i a facist fanatic if I wish to praise The G-d that put me on this planet and gave me everything I have?) the idea of reform of the ways G-d asked for us (which are a pleasure to keep!) made him upset in a way, that we were falling off the way of being jewish.

| quote: | It's well known that generally when jews leave the religon for 3 generations they grow so far apart from the religon that they basically lose it, well this was a huge loss for the jews, and by the third generation, the 1930's, it was time for the Jews to get punished for being totally against the religious ways, its very sad but look what G-d gave us, once our punishment was over. The chance to begin a new, he let us take up land in the 1 small slip of land never claimed for a capital, and only biblical homeland for the jews... and what happpened? The state was founded on a secular non-jewish philosophy. The year was 1948. Now we have made progress.

You should study a bit of history before assigning the reasons for the happening of historical events to supernatural forces.
The jews in Germany, same as in other parts of Europe, were a very homogenous group, and they didn't change their traditional and religious beliefs much. But their homogenity was a sort of double-edged sword. The fact that they used to stick together, combined with their business and profit oriented philosophy was the reason they became the richest ethnical group in most European countries. When Hitler came to power, Germany was in a state of total economic collapse (because of its huge war reparations to Britain and France). Imho Germany did have a just cause to attack France and Britain, but it did not have a just cause to take some other actions it took. But not to get too much off topic, the richest group in Germany were jews, and Hitler needed money for his upcoming war. And what's better way to do it than to kill the few people who control most of german money and confiscate their property? People in other countries didn't like jews for the same reason hitler didn't, so what happened to them in Germany didn't bother them much. Anyway, it was not a punishment by god, it was an unfortunate consequence of historical facts.
And, btw, if any person decides to leave his/her religion, that person loses the religion right away and doesn't have to wait for 3 generations for it to happen. Or maybe it's a jewish speciality?

Hmm, what side of political spectrum were Hitler and the skinheads on? Same as you it seems. I don't mind if people are left-wing or right-wing, but when they get that little ultra prefix, I do start to mind.
| quote: | | Lastly on this loosely related thread.... In the original TORAH (5 books of moses) in the first book genesis, it says that Avraham had 8 sons. 6 of them, got their presents from him before he died and they moved EAST. They were living in Israel at the time. East of Israel is then Asia. It is taught that the 'gifts' were physical prowess and skills in the arts. Such as martial arts, 'so called' blak magic etc... IT is written in the book! If you look before that point, all the material wealth is given to Issac, so therefore the other 6 son's presents/gifts were knowledge in the arts, that they passed inthe EAST. Whcih we know now of the east. Such as zen buddhism etc... their philosophy is similar to jewish, in the idea of oneness of creation etc... |
Yeah, right, and in the original North Korean communist party manifesto it says whole world is celebrating Kim Jong Il's birthday. Please, don't give yourself and the Jews more importance in history than they deserve. It is true that judaism is the base of the 3 largest monotheistic religions, but zen buddhism didn't sprout from the Torah. First of all, the Torah is not a 100% accurate history book, and secondly, India is very far away. But most importantly, your dates and historical facts don't match at all. Buddhism didn't appear when some prophet from a far away land came, but it instead appeared when a young indian prince realized life isn't just his palaces, so he moved on to the street and started preaching what he did. Never was he influenced by any foreigner. Also, prior to Buddha, no traces of jewish-like religion have been found in India. The fact that judaism and it's offsprings share some common ideals with buddhism is that human morale is always in more or less the same boundaries. Most ethnic groups and religions on the planet share similar beliefs of what is evil and what is good. You can say it's basically in human nature. The idea about martial arts is also completely false, because martial arts appeared in China during the early middle ages, when monks who have sworn not to carry any weapons needed to defend themselves from the muggers and thieves. No trace whatsoever of any foreigner bringing those arts.
What was about those dirtbags that need to be stomped on?

That doesn't seem to stop you in making the most ignorant statements on it, though.
| quote: | | But notice how not even a single comment of scorn to the palestinian legislator threatening to make suicide attacks against america... NOT EVEN ONE!!! Only attacks that someone has the nerve to say something bad about them and try to make israel look good.. |
That's cause there are no palestinians on this board that are claiming suicide attacks are a good thing. But believe me when I say noone on this board is supporting suicide attacks. It's just that most people probably think it's understood they think so and they don't have to spell it out for you. Do you really think everyone here supports bombings or is indifferent towards them?

He was kinda nice tho. Gave my grandfather a house for loyal serving in the antifascist movement.
