limbo: I think you need to take a step back and really loom at the history of the past 65 years and especially the past few years." right, an award winning presidential journalist clearly states where the jews should go and is defending by everyone on this board.
It has been OK to slam just about everyone except Jews in the last 65 years doing so will automatically get you labeled Anti Semitic and will bring up the Holocaust." I haven't been around for 65 years.. but gee, wasn't there just recently global denial of the Holocaust held in Iran a year or so ago? Have you been to NYC or SF in recent months?
More so in recent years for every Israel slam (not necessarily Jews) their have been at least 10 Muslim slams and probably even more Catholic slams." If it were Jews or Catholic doing whats happening, I'd be saying the same thing.
Also equating Israel with Jews is not correct, seeing that most Jews I know would not live there for the same reasons most Muslims I know would not live in Iran, though Israel started off with the idea of being a Jewish state based on secular law" They were thrown together, and created by the same organization that is down with those that want to destroy them. I've been to the ME and of all the places I think I could live is Israel and I think that holds true for you too... (at least they got some good clubs)
it is now turning into a state where the religious right has more and more power" Well, there is one for me on my point about no other choice in response smith and I think religion is like an organism, its gonna go to the extreme to stay alive.

As opposed to a recent anti-Muslim slant?" yeah. Its ok to slam jews in national news outlets, but no one else for that matter. Its ok to chase jewish students at Berkly and Sanford, and not one Hamas supporter (yup, take a look at those Youtubes, they are clearly showing support for Hamas) gets suspended.
when for quite some time posters on this board have literally said they want all Muslims dead is rather defeating, is it not? " If you are referring to me, hey, I said I'm down for the fight, not for the laying back and trying to shake hands and had a different group I'd say the same.
No peace deal will ever be made as long as BOTH sides are unwilling -- it's not a one way street; especially when that street is being paved and inhabited one way by Israelis." Well, I wasn't born when this 67' (and neither were most of the other posters) thing went down so I can only go by what I read and if the borders are the only issue, the Palestinians need to make that clear. They haven't and besides, if that area was paramount to the issue, why launch a war from it or better yet, why lose it?
If you really that way, why don't you and your kind leave the Western Hemisphere? Ah, thought so. Guess what the Jews got one little tiny tiny bit of land. They are not invading any other countries in any way what so ever.
it's not a one way street" I'd like to believe you, but its not. Peace is impossible. Only way is to fight it out. I'll support the winner after the fact. What else can you do?

Attend college or the military to help citizenship, that looked completely reasonable" The military thing is acceptable, its what my Grandfather did at the same time going through all the legal routes to get my mother, grandmother, and her siblings legalized. Anything short of that is a NO! As for attending college, I paid out of state and in fact while in the military I paid a heavy price for college classes even though I could have taken classes very cheaply in Illinois with all that was offered through grants and what not. Why should they get in-state tuition and what if you legalize them and they then drop out?
Sorry bud, but my family came in by a boat and went through all legal routes. What was good for them should be good for the next. Unless, you just simply like taking the US citizenship (which many native born upper class Anglos do I believe) for granted.
it would have helped those immigrants who came here as children (growing up and going to American schools) to have easier access to citizenship....." There is a process that my family went through and the same process my wife would go through should we decide to live in the US ever again. Why should it be different for anyone else?

Most, if not all, of the world already does. A number of countries have already officially recognized a Palestinian State within the 1967 borders" You mean the same world and the then league of nations that let millions of Jews die or in many cases were a part of it? Just asking... because its seems from your posts over the years, the only solution is the one the Nazis (and Muslims) tried.
smith: Hahaha... you beat me to it. Of course, you know that arguing against him makes you an anti-Semite, right? That's usually the last resort when Israel supporters can't refute arguments." Man, you so let me down with such a post... where's that quarter million dollar education?
Either way you look at it, you can't tell me there is not a recent anti-Semite slant happening.. its there. all you have to do is go to a left leaning school and watch how Jewish kids have to run and duck from mobs.. can't believe you support that.

And another example of generalizing Muslims whenever Al-Qaida (a small group of extremists that make up a very small percentage of Muslims) does something.....This is getting old....and I am not even Muslim." Well, would you care to at least give us a number? a small % out of 1.9 and growing billion is not small. If you want to compare muslims and christians, I can honestly tell you this, Christians are easy to deal with. If there were a world wide christian problem, it would have taken care of by now.

like every other president has had the right to do?" well, that would imply he isn't any different than any of the other presidents.
You deserve it for all the hard work you have done." in normal cases, he would, but djuice posts, he shouldn't be. Think of it this way, he's CNC now, and like any decent leader, at least those I've served under, ate last, showered last, and rested last.... Perhaps if Obama had at the very least worn a boy scouts uniform in his life, he'd know that.

"Wikileaks revealed how Russia completely played Obama."" The day Wiki reveals anything negative on Obama, will be the day wiki is no longer a viable source of info. They will be considered liars.

I was asked to re-enlist in the reserves last year due to not enough male medics... I'm gonna pretend I'm gay, and I'm gonna get rich quickly. I'm gonna sue for sending me to intolerant places, sue because there won't be enough sensitivity training, sue because I want my kind to do physicals, sue because I could have stayed in the military all this time and earned time in grade/service but had to get out, sue because I had to hide my identity and get married to rich woman (oh the pain this lifestyle). Calling all recruiters

able to destroy the world 1,000 times over" I've been hearing this number since I was chiquito.. why hasn't that number come up in this day and age? someone's lacking on the advancement side of things. Who coined it?

DADT only really works if people aren't on the prowl to find all the homosexuals and out them against their will. Which they were. And now they can't." If I were gay, I would make some bank... I can see hundreds of sue holes even without any harrrasement

best part is that if Russia abides by the agreement they'll reduce (that means to lower the number) their stockpile as well" If you've spent enough time in Queens, you'll know that is a hard pill to swallow.
This can't be the fist time this has been tried...is it?
Thanks for the education profesora

how insecure can you get that you can't give a few of those up?" Well, I'm the type of guy that goes down with a fight... I don't like the idea that we won't be able to get off at least one. What would that guy at the gate of heaven say to us? You know if I went to hell, the devil would laugh and call us wussies.

Although Hamas, the Islamic militant group that rules Gaza, has limited attacks on Israel since then, Israel holds the group responsible for all attacks from the territory. A number of smaller militant groups have continued to fire rockets and mortars." So, why doesn't Hamas bring them in?

Oh boy, clown time
"I'm not sure why my occupational travels are relevant." It would mean you didn't hear the orders I've heard...
Your proposal that there is risk in having gay soldiers in the middle east is pretty ridiculous..." It was a question that was given out.... just like if you were Jewish getting off the plane to protect the Kings sand.
especially considering that we deploy gay soldiers, sailors, and marines there already." We've established that fact
Or are you convinced that they're suddenly not smart enough or don't have enough self control to conduct themselves accordingly in those places now that DADT has been repealed?" People slip at times.... its human. A married guy is not supposed to do a lot of things but sometimes it can't be helped and he slips and in a public place.
Lets say two guys grab a hotel room and the clerks get suspicious... how do we deal with it on such a case?" I was referring to ME and African countries where off base liberty is allowed.
You've just described a post-DADT hypothetical scenario in which there are no new relevant variables." I just showed you how a hetrosexual person slips....
How would we have dealt with it before?" NJP
Exactly the same way as now but the 'two guys' would have also faced discharge for being gay . . ." But not now. But there is my question. If its illegal to be gay in an allied country where military is stationed and this happens, what is to be done? Tell the guys/girls they can't do anything while there (sometimes you could be there for months), tell everyone they can't do anything because its not fair, dog the country that is letting us use the place as a base? What?
As for your concern at sick call, I see a mole crawling out of that mountain, too." No, you're getting hyped. "Again, there are already homosexuals treating heterosexuals (and vice versa). How does DADT change the professional behavior of medics/corpsmen/nurses/doctors?" I've been in predicaments where the patient for a slew of reasons didn't want me to touch them... and that included driving an ambulance. Be it that I was Hispanic/Arab looking, too young, I recall one guy specifically wanting another African American to open him up.
"If someone was being attended to by someone they knew to be gay and had a problem with it, I suppose they could request someone else . . ." I hve not seen that happen and where do you get off posting to me as though I raised the question on that? Can't you read?
someone else who could * gasp * also be gay without the patient's knowledge." The gasp gives me a clue you are still a freckle face w... boy playing on XBOX
Personally, I just think anyone that has problems like that should engage in a little personal growth; normal people don't question the sexuality of their doctors and nurses as if it's relevant to their healthcare." Maybe you should do the same and raise the issue to someone who's against it, I'm not.
For what it's worth, I wouldn't put much faith in your ability to sniff out who is/was military and where they've been in an internet forum (you're not very good at it, as it turns out)." So, I guess you want me to salute you? I mean, you're so good at these internet forums.. maybe I should pay you a consulting fee and teach me.
