Israel has every right to be upset about this. For years, Iran has been talking about wiping Israel off the map. Would you be comfortable if a country that has repeatedly called for your destruction had the ability to carry it out? Israel doesn’t have the right to speak as they have never signed a nuclear treaty and poses nuclear weapons. They also have violated more UN resolutions then most countries in the region. So I am not hear to say who can worry about what you can worry about unicorns if you wish, however I can point out the obvious hypocrisy which exist any time Israel express an opinion and point out why it is ridiculous for them to even think they should be allowed to talk.

I like Sky's posts too. Here's the thing: You and I are walking down the road. Two guys walk up and sucker punch us in the back of our heads. They say nothing, and clam up during the court cases, etc. Exact same crime. However, in our town, there's a few loudmouths that are bugging the mayor about bad pay for equal work and sexism, and racism, and blah blah blah. The DA is spun up and elections are just around the corner. My guy gets simple assault and x number of months in jail. Your lawyer notes that you 'appear' to be middle eastern (even though you are now American) and makes a hate crime claim during the case. your guy gets simple assault for x number of months, PLUS he gets another x number of months. Why is the assault on me valued less? (or yours more?) Everything was exactly equal, other than the external political climate? I honestly see both your points. I think assault is assault and more in agreement with you. I see what you mean, that would make you not be valued as much because your not a minority. Therefore saying that the same crime is less of a crime on you because your white. That makes no sense. What if its just a hate crime by that i mean no other crime. I just stand out side on public road with a sign that says go back to Africa Niggers? Is that a hate crime or freedom of speech? IF i am holding this sign in my neighborhood to my black neighbors at what point am i infringing on there right? A part of me wants to say you have to stop that at the same time feelings are not protected by law. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Only if the faggot is homosexual I like the debate between thees guys, i read Sky an i am like oh i get what he is saying, i read rehmwa and i think wow he has a great point. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Not! I am hoping that the US and Iran can be friends again.

I think all crime is hate crime. i don't believe in having different categories for people. yea that's genocide and i really don't think that has anything to do with hate crime legislation. You have a point. i can see the difference in this example. It would be more then vandalism. Hmmm time to rethink this one. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Just the word HATE CRIME is retarded? Its either a crime or not. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I think it’s great, and hope for even better relations like we have had in the past, but on an even playing field. I still think Iran has the right to have a nuclear weapon. Nuclear weapon suck but I can’t logically how I can tell someone not to have what I have thousands of. Also disgusted with Israel and how they are always anti peace, but then again nothing new from them. I am happy that thanks to the internet more and more people have seen Israel’s true colors so less people listen to what they have to say. Who knows we might actually get somewhere if we stop listing to the constant nay sayers. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Are you drunk when you were writing this? Your the one who seems to change your standards depending on who it relates to, that seems a lot more like play school to me. See if you can set even ONE standard based in logic which the US is not a greater violator of? Its like: the define what a terrorist is game i like to play with the brain washed we have here. Its funny watching them be unable to name one thing that the US hasn't done that the "Terrorists" have? Kill innocent people: check Use weapons of mass destruction: check Start false wars: Oh wait that's US only check Support terrorist organizations: check and double check oh wait triple check Support humane rights violators: check Your a lawyer, do you really see the world in your Black and white view where were the good guys in white and they are the bad guys in Black. Grow up buddy read something.

Your statement is a joke, He makes valid points which you have nothing to say about. The US supported OBL, and Saddam, case closed buddy stop thinking so emotionally not good for a lawyer to lose sight of the facts. How many wars has Iran been in in the last 100 years? ONE How many did it Start? NONE. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

People who want news that's who, You don't think news is something a product that people want and expect from major broadcasters? NPR, BBC to me some of the best news organizations are public. The people who work at the BBC don;t need to hunt for food they get paid. Its funny how in the US people are so brain washed about capitalism that they can't comprehend how it could be possible if it was not a giant corporation running things.

I can't think of better advertising, off course now they will fuck i up I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Thank you for understanding, i appreciate you saying that.

Man I have a really good sense of humor about a lot of shit. But not about fucking with me and my Skydiving, or any equipment. Don’t fuck with my shit EVER that’s just disrespectful to me. don't think i would be mad for 8 months but i also would have landed and punched you in the face, but i would have gotten over it that night at the fire. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I know that’s the kind, PC and nice thing to say, but in reality if I am going to put all that effort in to having and raising a kid it will be for my own genes not someone else. I know it’s cold and as usual I am the ass hole here but it’s the truth. I am not having a kid for an act of charity. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Yes i would i think it makes more ssnese then the way most people do it. However i would be 100% honest with the friend as to my intentions, and you have to make sure he is truly ok with it as well. What happens if one of the friends decides to get married later? Or has to move? A lot of possibilities have to be covered. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

And who would provide the news and health care with care and honesty as the principle motivation? You pay the people and you pay them well however you take the profit model out of it. Reporters would get paid becaus people want news, however you remove advertising, when you remove advertising then your no longer worried about who is watching and how many people clikc your link. There is reason the whole world finds out Milly Cyrus is shaking her ass because people click on the link so that website or news organization and show how many click s and get moor money from advertising. As for Health care same thing, the doctors and scientist all get paid for there work however you don’t make a business of selling pills, You need to take the corporate aspect out, they do it all the time in other countries. Same thing for privet jails: You pay police but yo shouldn't set up a system where the more people you arrest the more money Police Inc. makes. Get it its the system and the mechanism that they work in which is a the issue and is counterproductive. Out goal shouldn't be to prescribed the most amount of pills, or arrest the most people it should be to help people and arrest people who need to be arrested. When you add profit motive to these sort of things its begging to be corrupted. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I don’t think it’s black and white, Your making a car great capitalism is the way to go, your making a TV same thing? Profit is a great motivator Now you’re reporting news? You are providing Health care? Profit is counterproductive to what gives you good values, Care and honesty. If drug companies are motivated by a profit and profit only imagine the nightmare scenarios that can occur. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I think what you are referring to is the dishonesty that exists in the financial sector. Where when you are investing in something you are not told the risk, the rules seem to change when you sign, but only after. The mortgage crisis comes to mind, how many good smart people were lead to believe they could afford a mortgage, I think the financial adviser or whomever is selling the product needs to go to jail if they lied, or withheld the truth. If you get to call your self a banker, or a financial planer that should come with the assumption that you know about this product and you are the person someone without knowledge should listen to. I don’t think I can blame a person too much for thinking that the bankers would not lie to them. We do this all the time if you mechanic lies to you you can take them to court, if your doctor gives you the wrong diagnosis and with ill intent so he can rob you he would go to jail. Yet we don’t do that for banker or financial planers. I believe in the UK they have moved a step closer to what we all need which to is to make lying to people illegal when conducting business. I always used to think false advertising is illegal but apparently its not all one has to do is watch late night commercials to see if it is illegal we don;t do anything about it. Better laws, and a regulatory department that is well paid but not funded by anyone is needed. I will also stand by what I have always said when it comes to capitalism. The people who think it is the answer to every type of business are like extremists they lack logic. I agree with them that it is a great system for the majority of business models, however it will always fail when profit is the motive on a service or product where the major factor is integrity, and honesty. When pharmaceutical, jails, News, Health care, law, etc are motivated by profit they are almost always bad for general public.

Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haredi_Judaism#Military So not only can they avoid the compulsory military service, they can get a fat stipend from the government to spend their time studying religion.

Live in NY go to NYC often and have had friends who visit tell me stories they have experienced. As for swept under the rug how much more attention would it get if it was a Islamic police, or Christian police? It wouldn;t be Vice it would fox, NBC, MSNBC all of them. I think the issue is this mentioned in the article also. I know a few DZ.comers who fit the bill. Any thing that's negative about Jews must be a lie to them. Yea I disagree with you as mentioned before it would get so much more attention if it was Muslims, or even Christians. As for them not prosecuting: its because the members of these groups, stick together and sacrifice justice for the sense camaraderie they have. That has always been the case with most Jewish communities, and it is the case with Scientology. They both use the same system, Sue your ass and take you to court if you point out truths that they cannot explain away. Unfortunately the tactic works.
