The Zionist are the ones who say we support murdering Jews. They have to lie because the truth is very desirable. Starving people in Palestine need food. Medical equipment, supplies and medicine are vitally needed. That would be why most of the world agrees the naval blockade is wrong. That would be why most of the world agrees it is wrong to storm ships in international waters. That is why the huge majority of the world believes in delivering humanitarian aid and some are willing to do it themselves - like the evil Irish. I don't hate Jews. I don't like Hamas. Those who say different are liars. Most of the Palestinian people are not terrorists and just want their own land, free trade and peace.

I think the reason Egypt is criticized less may be because they were involved in border blockage at shared borders while Israel was involved in blockage at their border and also blocking the Palestinian's own land. Gaza strip is Palestinian soil and the Israelis have no business blockading it. I am also critical of Egypt for not leaving the border more accessible. If not open constantly than during interim time frames. The Palestinians are suffering. Many cannot work because trade is so restricted by the blockade. They need humanitarian aid.

Netanyahu hates the thought of peace and always has. He tries to be a bully. The rest of the world sees right through him.
The haters on JT join in chorus with Benny. They hate the Muslims, hate Obama, hate the UN, hate humanitarian aid and hate anyone who doesn't hate with them.

Au contraire Mr. Bush. The world is much worse for you not ending the war in Afghanistan much sooner. You diverted the troops that could have ended the war in Afghanistan and we could be much further is managing the peace.
Iraq was a big mistake. If for no other reason then the strategic mistake I mentioned above.
There once were terrorists who attacked America. Those terrorists have not been thoroughly defeated. The main reason this was not accomplished was because George Bush decided to divert our precious resources to another unneeded war.

The majority of weekly church goers favor lifting the ban.
Molenir wants discrimination to continue.

I have a major problem understanding the parts that don't exist but you continue to say they do exist. Try reading the law.
It is illegal for a member to engage in gay sexual acts. I have posted the law; you post your interpretation. I want to thank you for stating your incorrect interpretation over and over so vehemently. People can read the law and see that you are incorrect. Then they can see that you continue to bullshit. They can then understand what we have to go through to discuss issues with with less than capable individuals.
Just so others can see the law for themselves:

I really hope this works. It is a shame to see humans cause such massive damage to wildlife and the surrounding habitat. It is heartbreaking to see pictures of the gunk all over everything in Louisiana's delta region.

Wrong as usual Molenir! Facts, Molenir, we are dealing with facts now. So face the fact that you are wrong.
TITLE 10 > Subtitle A > PART II > CHAPTER 37 > § 654
(b) Policy.— A member of the armed forces shall be separated from the armed forces under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense if one or more of the following findings is made and approved in accordance with procedures set forth in such regulations: (1) That the member has engaged in, attempted to engage in, or solicited another to engage in a homosexual act or acts...
Now who is full of BS? Now who has and their "entire premise about gays" ability to have sexual relations "destroyed?" Face it Molenir you don't deal well with facts you live in a would of suppositions, hunches and innuendos.
The law will be changed soon and finally the discrimination against good, qualified military personnel will end. You and your ilk will be defeated Molenir.

This time we will see if Kim is truly nuts or just full of bullshit. I suspect that China will be the one to cover for Kim being ready to only spew out crap instead of being serious about a real conflict. I could be totally wrong this could be the beginning of a war to settle what was unsettled in the past. I hope Clinton can get the Chinese to give up some intel on this matter. I think they have the best access to the information that would let us know the real situation at present. All I want to know is whether all this positioning is just fodder or whether things actually are just a spark away from a flare-up.

Once again Molenir has it all wrong when he says that "Don't ask don't tell" was working. It was not working. It forbade gays from having sex. To do so broke the law. There is nothing wrong with gay sex; Molenir tries to parse his words by stating he doesn't "care what a man does in the privacy of his bedroom. Its none of my business." But he supports a law that does not allow gays to have sex. How typical to try to come across as reasonable while taking the most extreme position.
I also served in the military and was aware of a number of gay guys. Molenir uses the word confess to describe when someone lets you know they are gay. That just shows how he indeed actually thinks it is wrong to be gay.
Molenir has a problem with his own veracity and thus assumes it of others.
Who would ever trust Molenir with private information like that. I was very trustworthy not to say anything to anybody about my gay friends in the military although it turned out a lot of people knew or suspected. If I knew Molenir I would have lied about anyone being gay or anyone smoking dope or any of the many other things that nobody wanted Molenir to know about.
I was in the military in the 70's and things were different then. I had dozens and dozens of friends and countless bits of information were confided in me. I would never expect Molenir to understand. I can't speak about the military today because I know it changed. But back in the day when I served it was nothing to know a few secrets and still treat each other as brothers.

Here are my disorganized thoughts on the matter. I am simply too lazy right now to put my thoughts into a cohesive format.
Clearly the "need" of Japan is outweighed by a sensible self interest. I think the U.S. and Japan agree that it is in neither party's self interest to have a bulked up Japan. Japan would not want to militarize a generation of kids to get the ground forces needed. I think Japan would use missiles and Air Forces to make up the difference in ground forces.
Everyone knows there are submarines out their with the equivalence of cruise missiles that are protecting the entire region. Japan would need to have land based cruise missiles. Some of them would need to be nuclear missiles. Why, because the geo-political balance would create a vacuum of weakness; at the very least by perception. That perception is extremely important no matter what anyone else here says. Why do you think China is building up its military capacity? If you believe China wants to go to war with anybody you are crazy. To be one of the top players in the world they need all the vestiges of the great world powers.
Japan for many of the same reasons must at least appear to be able to defend itself against potentially hostile neighbors. No I am not paranoid. I realize N. Korea is the biggest threat and they know they would be evaporated even if the U.S. had no bases in Japan. They know as friends we will still be out there somewhere.
So to summarize. Japan is a rich nation. Riches need to be guarded. Nukes are the best guards available. Japan and the U.S. do not want Japan to have that many nuclear weapons. Not that we can't trust them, but it would be a destabilizing situation.
Do we want to compete with Japanese Defense Contractors?

Clearly the Democrats are winning over the American people. People on JT were saying 75% of Americans were against the Democratic HCR law that has been passed. Now look:
Some polls indicate that there has been a slight upswing in public support for the measure since its passage drew such massive publicity. Gallup, for example, found that 49 percent of Americans thought passage was "a good thing," while 40 percent thought it was "a bad thing" and 11 percent didn't know. This is a reversal from the findings of most polls before the bill was approved, when a plurality opposed the plan. The poll also found that 15 percent said they were enthusiastic about the bill's passage, 35 percent were pleased, 23 percent disappointed, and 19 percent angry. "Passage of healthcare reform was a clear political victory for President Obama and his allies in Congress," a spokesman for Gallup says. "While it also pleases most of his Democratic base nationwide, it is met with greater ambivalence among independents and with considerable antipathy among Republicans."

TheQuestion at 02:22 AM JST - 4th April
IT'S THE LAW!!! What a crock of bullshit that is being spun. The insurance companies will obey they law or the fines will go up, state laws will go after them and their name will get smeared. I have heard enough of this mindless speculation. The insurance companies will obey the law. All these ignorant people acting like it is a suggestion and acting like the fines cannot be increased and applied per incident is in total denial of how business works. Every major insurance company will obey the law. Any that don't will be publicly exposed and dragged through the courts repeatedly. They can be be dragged through the courts for each person. They will then be ordered to comply. If they don't comply they will be found in contempt of court.
The reason I don't answer half of these questions are because they are so sophomoric in nature. Get a grip and stop listening to the idiots that have no idea how the system works.

Oops there went the little credibility you had left. Obama served as a professor at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve years; he did spend 8 years from 1996 to 2004 teaching constitutional law.
Some of us deal with the facts and some of us don't.
Here is just another of the facts that I post that you won't hear the right talking about:

Allowing young people through age 26 to remain n their parents' insurance policy, at the parents' choice is not socialism.
Preventing Insurance companies from booting the sickest people off after they have been paying for years is not socialism.
Requiring Insurance companies to accept people with preexisting conditions is not socialism.

Everything Molenir says is nothing new. He cannot address all the great things I have brought up in the new law.
Yes, Molenir I know exactly what socialism is. I went to grad school and I studied Economics. You are just plain wrong about the facts as usual. Who knows where you get your information from but I don't personally care.
It is no coincidence that you use terms just like Rush Limbaugh: nanny state, etc. We hear you doing it all the time and using the same old tired arguments.
Socialized Medicine would be if the doctors worked for the government; they don't. Socialized Medicine is not even socialism but that would take someone willing to accept the definitions that brilliant minds of the past have developed over the years. McCain brings up this bullshit about Obama still being in campaign mode. The daft Palin brought out the Socialism strategy and you guys bought into it hook, line and sinker. It just shows ignorance every time it is improperly used. I am just so glad that Americans are sick and tired of hearing it now. So I welcome all of you on the "Team" to keep misusing the terms. Stay in that campaign mode and it will all work out for you "someday." Tell all your friends that the the "Dems" voted to give Viagra to the sex offenders. In the meantime I will be spreading the great news of the HCR law.
It was so important to ban lifetime limits on insurance policies; thank goodness the Democrats have now turned that into law.

"Precisely why he's right and you are wrong."
I mistook you for the one who earlier said HCR would be struck down by the Supreme Court. Sorry about that. I believe RomeoRamen is also manfromamerica and I wasn't paying attention so I thought I was addressing manfromamerica. RomeoRamen said "which is what Obama signed into law, will be struck down by the SC as being unconstitutional."
I know I am giving a somewhat convoluted response but I was trying to be more specific than "I had you confused with someone else."
