What's the real question here? I believe it's that: Should transsexuality be accepted?

To which, of course, I answer, emphatically, YES.

Response to: White House Declares Judicial Power Posted May 1st, 2006 in Politics

It's a bit excessive to say that it's a facist state, but when one party controls both houses of congress, the White House, and some would argue, the Supreme Court, there's going to be little opposition to anything that gets done.

Eh. In a way, you could argue this. But a fetus is a group of cells-a baby is the same, yet it's out of the womb.

Sometimes alzheimer patients have that problem too.

Source? They're self-aware, they just have memory loss and loss of cognitive abilities.

And coma patients fail that test too.

Wow, really? No shit.

Self-awareness is not a requirement for life.

In the purely biological sense, you are correct. However, from a moral and philisophical P.O.V, you're quite in error.

Not really.

That's your argument?

Doesn't matter. In the womb it is already exploring itself, sucking its thumbs. And just because it's not very bright, doesn't mean it's not a unique life with unique potential.

It has unique potential. It's genetically unique (unless it is a twin or clone, the latter which cannot happen as of yet), yes, but it's not human in terms of sentience.

New Battleground States Posted April 30th, 2006 in Politics

For the next elections, there's quite a few new battleground states.

15 seats in the house, for example, are the difference between a democratic and republican majority. 15 seats. For example, in connecticut, there are 3 seats that can be won...

Anyone else know of any other states like this?

So we should lower the flag because somebody fought and died? Pfft -- thousands die every day and we don't care at all about them.

This is fine. Keep it half-mast permanently? No. You can't keep it down permanently. Many people die, but they're not dying in combat, serving their country.

A better idea would be to do away with the flag to stop a resurgent ultra-nationalistic sentiment from taking root.

Getting rid of national symbols? Oh joy.

Really quite cute.

What I had meant was the large amount of Jews that just poured right into that land after the War.

Actually, right after the war, the British, once again, tried to prohibit immigration, though many people ended up, thankfully, in Israel.

Um... right... the land was constantly being purchased by Jews from Arabs.

No, dumbass, much of it was purchased. Much was given or legally conquered.

Thanks for noticing and not being intelligent to know how to make actual sarcasm.

Make sarcasm? Sorry, what?

Without a doubt. Hell, I'm all for keeping the flags at half-mast every day during wartime.

Dumbass, I'm tired of this shit. Hitler was dead in 1945, yes, but Jewish immigration was LIMITED BY THE BRITISH RIGHT BEFORE WWII.

That land was rightfully owned by the British and they gave it to the Jews.

Legally, yes. Morally, it was a good thing. Much of the land that was owned by Palestinians was PURCHASED, however.

Umm... no not quite.

Quoting half of your post? Wow, you're quite intelligent.

6% is not much by any mathematical standard, not now, not in 1948.

250,000 acres.

In 1922, Israel was promised 48,000 sq. miles.

In 1946, Jordan was formed, using 32,500 sq. miles of the Mandate.

In 1948, Israel was to be given only 5,500 sq. miles (by the UN)

After the '48 War, Israel was about 8,000 sq. miles.

~390 sq. miles were purchased...

Another quick point: The arabs benefited from the founding of Israel. If you want reasons, I'll give you reasons. Here's a hint. Peasants.

Oh, by the way, I thought you could answer this: Why is Israel called expansionist when it only encompasses about 8,000 sq. miles, and when the arab states are dozens of times bigger?

Other way around. 1948. Arabs attacked.
Ugh, they were provoked. They had few other remaining options.

Provoked in 1948 by 8,000 sq. miles of land. Wow, big area.

Now I'm ignoring Irgun and Lehi terrorism and all other pre-1948 violence.

Lol. Terrorism. Yeah, it was, but not to the Arab scale. Ah. And the Arabs didn't massacre people? And the Arabs didn't kill noncombatants?

Not many. Most were kept out, even as Hitler moved accross Europe. Too many were kept out. And there were many, many, many Jews already there. Then, you have to realize that much of the land was legally purchased (often at exhorbitant prices for desert or malarial swamp, which was then turned, BY JEWS, to habitable land).

Zionist Jews attack muslims,

Other way around. 1948. Arabs attacked. 1973, arabs attacked. 1967, arabs were preparing to attack.

And the two continue to keep fighting, because of those damn Zionist Jews, which are no different from the Islamic Terrorist Organizations that plan on achieving world domination of their religion.

We don't plan on dominance. We want a nation. We don't indiscriminately attack civilliians. They do.

They don't care if the land is called Fartinballs or Bigwang, as long as they don't have to worry about war or about confrontations.

Well, then. What about the Islamo-Facists who consider Israel to be a waqf?

Praise Buddhism!!! The religion of PEACE!!!
