Your religious? You mean you are a grown adult, with an imaginary friend?

“It’s also worth pointing out that I chose baptism for myself at 13.” Before your brain had fully developed and after 13 years of normalization. Also have you spoken to any 13 year olds recently? They tend to lack life experience and self-awareness.

“I’d never say I was “indoctrinated”

“Pontius Pilate was just a bureaucrat (regional prefect), actually. He even tried to get Jesus off the hook, so to speak. Jesus had made enemies by being such a hippy, and when the Romans said he was innocent of conspiracy against the state, the masses/the shadowy powers-that-be said, ‘nah, string him up.’”

“They do not have ample reason to hate each other. Hating people on the basis of ethnicity or religion is inherently invalid and unreasonable.” Dude, one side occupied the others land forcing hundreds of thousands (at least) to live in refugee camps (Wouldn’t you hate someone who forced you out of your home?) The…

“If you don’t want to come across as a supporter of Israel, why are you so intent on condemning Palestinians?” Because that is the side you made a positive claim for. The leadership of both sides has made mistakes and it is the people, both Israeli and Palestinian, that suffer.

“And, again, more to the actual point, the status quo is apartheid and a two state solution would be apartheid. I don’t know why you’re so set against the only solution that isn’t. It’s almost as if you have some sort of undisclosed ulterior motive!” No two separate states, with separate borders is not apartheid: “a…

This is from your second link: “73% of 1,010 Palestinians in W. Bank, Gaza agree with ‘hadith’ quoted in Hamas Charter about the need to kill Jews hiding behind stones, trees.” That sounds like they really want to live together as equals and from that same website : “The joint poll sought to ascertain the current…

Do you want to cite any of these polls?

Do you want to cite any of these polls?

Well I will point out that not all Palestinians are represented by the PLO. In fact the last time there was a contested election in a territory controlled by Palestine, Hamas was the victor. I don’t deny that is what some Palestinians want but it is not going to happen.

“Give them their land back as part of a single secular democratic state where Palestinians and Israelis are treated the same.”

“A two state solution is apartheid, too. Only a single secular democratic state avoids this.”
 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. That is a vast oversimplification and ignores the fact that Israel and the Palestinians have no interest in this option because A) There are or likely will be more Palestinians than Jews, So Israel is…

Possibly.

I do not think we were disagreeing. I was suggesting a lack of space (and you added resources, I.E Air, Food Etc) meant you want as few people as possible, ergo if someone can fill multiple roles, you can reduce the number of people required.

Cheers will do.

“Maybe there are more people somewhere else on the ship and those people are the actual colonists?” Maybe but even then there is a limit of space on the ship and every person on it would ideally serve as many functions as possible. Perhaps they have some kind of gene bank stored on board?

So, let me get this straight. In this hypothetical first attempt to colonize a planet. We selected a drunk cowboy as the pilot. I mean yeah we elected a moron as president of the USA, that will probably necessitate us leaving Earth but then we selected a pilot clearly unsuitable for a commercial plane flight, to pilot…

They were still intentionally vague about why it was outdated and failed to explain how it had happened.

“Also, could someone explain to me how that apology is weak tea? They didn’t make any excuses and said it wouldn’t ever happen again.”
