It is extremely irritating to me that there was no coverage of the UN discovery of Hamas rockets inside a school (two times!) or the fact that Palestinians in Gaza voted Hamas into power knowing that Hamas calls for the destruction of Israel, attacks on civilians and limited to no human rights (for women in…

PHRASING

There's no problem that can't be solved by liberal application of high explosives!

Considering that Hamas police tried to arrest Asma al-Ghul, a Palestinian journalist, for dressing immodestly and *laughing* (!), I'm pretty sure Palestinian women would be threatened, arrested, beaten or killed if they tried to show support like this.

Lego racers. Man that game was so damn cool.

The height of comedy. If you're going to joke about something so serious, it'd better be funny.

Are you fucking serious? What is wrong with you?

Yup. Hamas definitely doesnt get tens of millions of dollars donor around the world. They're actually a group of tree-huggers! It's not like they refuse to recognize the existence of Israel, cut off the hands of thieves, punish women for existing, release videos and statements calling for the extermination of Jews,…

"If people who are the original founders of the Palestinian national identity (led by Amin al-Husseini) instigated and funded multiple large scale attacks against me and those around me over a span of 40 years while openly targeting civilians, then joined and assisted a genocide which killed 6 million more Jews, I…

I know you're being hyperbolic, but c'mon. You can illustrate this decision's effects without stooping to the level of falsehoods.

It was started to ensure that foreign governments couldn't take action against diplomats of a country they were displeased with. Obviously it has been highly abused, see the millions in unpaid parking and traffic violation fees at the UN in NY.

That's not entirely true. In Iraq, women appear to be worse off, but in Afghanistan where women had virtually zero rights under the Taliban, they are doing significantly better.

Yes, there is a significant amount from OPEC countries (still only 1/3 of US imports); I just get iirritated when people trot out the very well worn smug cliche of "oh wait, but oil". By 2015 the US will be the world's largest oil producer.

Yeah, its totally about oil, with less than 15% of our oil imports coming from Saudi Arabia. Our relations have much more to do with investment and the military than oil, especially considering the downward trend in US oil imports.

There are a lot of idiots at top schools. That being said, overall the population at top schools is certainly far more intelligent than average America/world.

Jumping in here: are you really using Yasser Arafat as your example of a peace-loving Muslim? The man was directly responsible for many civilian deaths, and indirectly responsible for far more when he led a terrorist organization otherwise known as the PLO.

Sharia law is applied involuntarily to all Muslims in Malaysia for civil cases, and in some states is applied for criminal cases (such as stoning for adultery and cutting off extremities for theft). Additionally, Sharia law is applied fully in Aceh province of Indonesia (4.5 million people) including stoning for…

Botulism is an issue if you're trying to make homemade garlic oil. Don't make homemade garlic oil unless you're exploring the potential of a delicious garage bioweapons factory.
