'06 is upon us.

[Sarcasm]

Greatchickenman: Heh, Do you even listen to yourself? Most of this has some essence of truth, A small one, But it is there, But you are twisting it to sound as if we are the devil. I will not bother to argue with you given the fact that as soon as I mentioned where I live you went "OMFGZ!" for no reason. And just for general knowledge, Original Israel was much much much much much smaller, Heck, We had half of Jerusalem and some more land, We got the rest when others attacked.

[Forerunner]

Ok, so we've established that some people don't like holstiens humor, some people do, and everyone thinks that everyone else should stop bitching and shut the fuck up.

Now lets talk about something on topic.

[_MurtagH_]

I agree. I'm sorry if anyone felt offended by what i said. I still mean some of the things i wrote in the halo topic though. I feel people were slightly hostile when i joined. But yes you're right forerunner lets forget it and move on.

[Vaylos]

So...my new year's went pretty well. Went to a party with the girlfriend, and we ended up playing some kinda trivia game....um...Imgaine-If or something I think it was called. Generally had a good time. She stayed the night at my place ^_^

As for my resolutions, I've decided to rejoin the Aikido club at SFCC, since I'm taking Organic Chem, meaning i'll be around for a year-ish. Also, I've decided to get off my butt, and attempt a remix for OCR (posted in another topic, so i'll digress on that score)

So far things have been good. New anime series are coming out, and it's looking like this year will be decent.....for me at least heh :p

Ah well, Ganbatte!!!

[Greatchickenman]

I wasn't lying, I was just bending the truth. You know, the way the Republicans who love you guys so much do it.

Seriously, this whole crisis would have been averted if the Allies had just given like half of Germany to the Jews.

and yes, I did omgwtfzorz you, but that was only because you called the Palestineans terrorists. There have been atrocities commited on both sides, in case you haven't remembered when the Israeli troops began shooting at unarmed civilian children after they threw rocks.

You seem like an intelligent person. How can you possibly condone the actions of your people?

I do not, But like nearly every culture on earth, We took the place of another. I am well aware of the fact both sides have done horrible things, But there are terrorist organizations that brainwash Innocent civilians using religion,mainly on their side. And the reason we were given this land,Or at least that what our fanatics think, Is religion. Peh, Like always, Religion will cause more death then any plague..
And truly, America only started to show the slightest signs of care when the air plane has crashed into the Twin towers. America saved our ass in one war we would lose without its aid, But beyond that, We fought all the other wars on our own. I can understand them attempting to take back their land... But originally Israel was a very small part of what it is today, It has only widened from all the times our neighbors attempted to completely destroy us. And I started to lose my Patience about our neighbors when we returned them Seenai (or however you spell it in English) which was about 70% of Israel and then a year after that they resumed attacking us.

Do not think I am not aware of what Israel has done. But also do not assume I do not know nearly every other country on earth did the same.
As I have said before, Religion is to blame.

[Impossible]

Sarcasm, as usual, is right.

Most of the shit in Israel is the Palestinians' fault. And look how badly they've fucked up in Gaza? If that's the shit we can expect to see in any Palestinian-owned area, well, no thanks.

[Poenaensis]

Yep,

Don't forget, both sides fight for God.

[Forerunner]

It's sort of ironic how so many people think that religion will save them and anyone else who believes, and yet it is also the source of so many of the wars and problems that plague mankind.

[Poenaensis]

Ironic? Yes I suppose so. It is.

I just think it's pathetic.

[Sling]

Politics and racism will cause more war and death
than Religion ever will. It's not the Religion, it's
the people. People pretend to be religios so that
when you attack them literally or verbally they
try to make out that you're predjudiced against
them because of their beliefs. Which is of course
a load of bullshit as they don't really follow that
religion and are just using religion as an excuse
to attack people/cultures that they dislike.

[Forerunner]

Maybe politics and racism does cause more bad stuff to happen, but it wasn't any prime minister that caused the great crusade.

I know what you're saying, but the point is that the world would be infinitly better if there was no religion. No religion at all.
But think, if someone said "The world would be infinitly better if there was no races." it wouldn't be the same would it? That statement can be taken many different ways.

[Poenaensis]

Yea it can.

The bit I like in religious history is where the Pope sold "indulgences", a "get out of purgatory and into heaven" for your departed loved ones. All he did was sign a piece of paper. The most pious scam ever!!

[_MurtagH_]

but then some people , i.e. poenaesis, just pick something apart until they find bad things buried in the past and bring them up as if it happens nowadays in every religion out there... sorry mate but that's how it sounds ehehe But lets face it religion does often start wars. However this is not always the case as it wasn't religion that forced the Americans to drop two atomic bombs on Japan. And no, the Nazis didn't start WW2 because of religion... in fact the just wanted scapegoats and so they used German people's rascism which was already there. They hated the Jewish race rather than the religion. So that's one BIG war not started by religion i guess.

[Poenaensis]

I can see a war between forerunner and impossible, that's not religious. I hope the peace talks are going well
