At what point will air travel become unaffordable
The terminology isn't a problem. You represent the problem yourself: no
substance. The usenet is is arranged hierarchically so that people can send their texts to an appropriate group (sometimes even to two groups so that one group is clearly a subset in the other group). The focus of rec.travel.europe and rec.travel.air is not on the relationship (hostile or not) of the peoples living in the Middle East. You want to discuss on the ragheads - fine. Just do it somewhere else. "TOliver" kirjoitti .. . Gee, this guy's terminology certainly makes it clear which side his Daddy |

Just do it somewhere else. From my perspective, the same constraints apply to your public revelations of your racism on the travel groups, not quite as likely to bring you harm as shouting the same words in public places where the targets of your crude spew might be listening and respond, but still clearly identifying you as well as establishing your level of intelligence, modestly below that of a herring. I suppose, however, that in having so exposed and labeled yourself, you're willing to accept that the reading public is likely to grant about as much credibility to your posts as it might to the sight of a flea, floating down a mighty river on its back, jacking off/wanking while shouting "Raise the drawbridges!" Thanks for your help. Not only do we know who you are, we know what you are, a far more telling tattoo. TMO |

Credibility is not much of an issue in the usenet. It was sometimes but then it was also populated by different sort of people. The issue is substance. The substance of these groups is travelling. It is travelling even if your drivel doesn't suggest this. The usenet has always been an open resource. It worked fine as long as the community was relatively small and in it's senses. Nowadays every turd from everywhere can access and spew out whatever to the usenet. This free structure is just utilized. Now, be a man and bugger off. |

No, but we did anyway. http://www.cato.org/dailys/08-02-02.html "How Washington Funded the Taliban" "The United States has made common cause with an assortment of dubious regimes around the world to wage the war on drugs. Perhaps the most shocking example was Washington's decision in May 2001 to financially reward Afghanistan's infamous Taliban government for its edict ordering a halt to the cultivation of opium poppies. When the Taliban implemented a ban on opium cultivation in early 2001, U.S. officials were most complimentary. James P. Callahan, director of Asian Affairs for the State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, uncritically relayed the alleged accounts of Afghan farmers that "the Taliban used a system of consensus-building" to develop and carry out the edict. That characterization was more than a little suspect because the Taliban was not known for pursuing consensus in other aspects of its rule. Columnist Robert Scheer was justifiably scathing in his criticism of the U.S. response. "That a totalitarian country can effectively crack down on its farmers is not surprising," Sheer noted, but he considered it "grotesque" for a U.S. official to describe the drug-crop crackdown in such benign terms. Yet the Bush administration did more than praise the Taliban's proclaimed ban of opium cultivation. In mid-May, 2001, Secretary of State Colin Powell announced a $43 million grant to Afghanistan in addition to the humanitarian aid the United States had long been providing to agencies assisting Afghan refugees. Given Callahan's comment, there was little doubt that the new stipend was a reward for Kabul's anti-drug efforts. That $43 million grant needs to be placed in context. Afghanistan's estimated gross domestic product was a mere $2 billion. The equivalent financial impact on the U.S. economy would have required an infusion of $215 billion. In other words, $43 million was very serious money to Afghanistan's theocratic masters." Was the support for Saddam in his war against Iran in America's best interest? At the time, yes. Nope. -- dgs |

nobody wrote: Tchiowa wrote: Or maybe you should get a grip on reality. The problems there aren't about Israel occupying anything. They are about the fact that Israel exists. Whenever you hear Hamas or Hezbollah or any of the other groups talking about "The Occupied Territories" they are not talking about the You are listening to american rethoric which doesn'ty provide the full picture. No. I am reading history. And I'm listening to the statements of the groups like Hamas. They don't want Israel to exist, period. The leader of Hamas was on Hard Talk a couple of years ago. I watched the interview. He stated quite openly that his group's goal was the elimination of the state of Israel. When he was challenged that this sounded racist (barring all Jews from the Middle East) he said that he had no problem with Jews living there. As long as they lived there under Muslim rule. This is a bit like believing that northern ireland's conflict was based on religion. It wasn't. It was a conflict between people of irish and british origins and/or a conflict between poor and rich etc etc etc. Far more complex than just what the media mentioned. Simularly, the conflict in the middle east is far more complex than just accepting the existance of one or the other country. There are a lot of postion taking and negotiating tactics. Sorry, but you're wrong. This is about the existence of Israel. Israel/USA insist that peace must first be acheived before it is even willing to negotiate peace. (aka: make sure no peace accord is ever reached). ??? Really? Talk to Egypt. Israel and Egypt achieved peace and the Sinai was returned. All that was required was that Egypt recognize Israel's right to exist and quit attacking it. And some middle east factions refuse to acknowledge Israel's right to exist until Peace has been reached. Your sentence is too long. It is not that they "refuse to acknowledge Israel's right to exist UNTIL PEACE HAS BEEN REACHED" it is that they "refuse to acknowledge Israel's right to exist" PERIOD. End of statement. If the USA's request that country X stop supplying arms to neighbours of israel, then the USA must also announce it has stopped supplying arms to Israel. Starving only one side of arms/money will not allow mutually agreed peace plan. Wrong. First, it is not the USA's request, it is Israel and the UN's request. Second, it is not that they stop supplying arms to neighbors of Israel but rather it is that they stop supplying arms to terrorist groups operating within those neighbors. No objections to Lebanon having weapons as they are a sovereign country with the same rights as Israel. It is objecting to Syria supplying HEZBOLLAH with weapons. Please tell me that you understand the difference. And with the USA's souble standards, it not only increases hatred against the USA (hence terrorism against the USA), but also discredits any attempt to reach peace in the middle east. Double standards??? The US has always insisted that BOTH sides be treated equally. That is what offends the Muslims. |

Gee, this guy's terminology certainly makes it clear which side his Daddy (if he was identified and recorded as such) fought on in WWII. I suspect he keeps Daddy's armband in the cupboard (along with the jackboots) and practices saluting with elbow, wrist and finger joints stiffly locked. At least he seems an equal oppotunity hater, when it comes to racist paranoia. I'd hate to think what an inventory of his home library, briefl though it's certain to be, would reveal aside from the coloring books and crayon stubs. I challenged Markku some time ago about his racist comments. He admitted to being a racist and expressed pride about it. So your comments are probably more accurate than you know. |
