The Great Filter
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter

In short the great filter theory suggests that we have not encountered intelligent life yet because there is a "great filter" that prevents planetary life from reaching advanced intelligence necessary for galactic expansion.

Allies vs Axis Yes or No and a new map
basically WW2 map with teams Free France GB Russia USA vs Germany Italy Japan Vichy France. If a teammate gets taken over your team can liberate your teammates territory which would bring him back but its only the territories he started out with. you can also move through your teammates territories and help defend them if a team dominates the map it would asked them to continue if all 4 players say yes this reverts back to the old diplomacy game type as a free for all.

Banned by a moderator: moron
I'm glad that the mods banned 'Peyton is back,' userID=63701, for his annoying spamming, but I dislike the fact that they cited such a childish-sounding reason. 'Banned by a moderator: spamming' would be a much more appropriate and 'adult' reason. I guess I'm just disappointed that the moderators would demean themselves and their reputation by acting so deplorably.

Why do we tolerate people within our society like obiwan?
I sometimes agree with these kind of people, that if we locked them all in a prison and killed them, we could free the world of ignorance and hatred within a week. Maybe the last war of man will be between the progressives and the ones holding us back.

Hamas Rejects ANOTHER Ceasefire
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4549051,00.html "Speaking in Qatar, political chief Khaled Mashal demands Israel lift blockade, says Gaza-based group will never agree to disarm." I post another thread to specifically call attention to this...once AGAIN Hamas rejects a ceasefire. Demands met or no...surely if they're a people of peace they should allow for a ceasefire, right? But they've rejected it...again...but this is really Israel perpetuating the war. NEVER Hamas.

You cannot even condemn the killing of 19 children yet you want to prattle on like you're some kind of champion of human rights.

No you didn't Putin....come on....just try it....type the words: ISraeli's have the **HUMAN** rights every other human has to live without being terrorized and murdered in their homes. Try it. You did NOT use the specific word you so carefully avoid...You quoted me, you avoided repeating a specific word. So....come on, little boy....try it. Just try it.

No, Putin , Palestinian are not sub-human, as you view Israeli's. Palestinians are equal to Israelis. they deserve equal rights...to find a land to call their own without murdering an entire group of people to do so, as they claim is their right. They are human....but they tend to act sub-human in that they believe Israel does not have a right to exist.

As for your 19 children killed in a home - as was pointed out, if it housed weapons, then no, I do nto condemn it. ESPECIALLY since Israel gave ample warning for people to get the hell out. So no, the blame for those children dying rests *entirely* on the Palestinians.

@Putin: It's very possible Israel shot the guy. But you argued that ONLY Israel has snipers, which is not only untrue it's fucking stupid.
there's a lot of clear misinformation in this thread and really one sided views not really informed by anything other than what people feel are the facts. Can't really address atm because I'm at work but if people want I can address any questions they have.

Plain question though, what's worse: Someone who uses human shields or someone who attacks them anyway?

"They're throwing parties as they watch the bombs drop"

I try to keep out of this because neither side of this debate is ever truly correct, especially when the debate happens out of places like the US and the UK, where people are truly clueless on this whole conflict, but really, Putin? You think it's all fun and games in Israel? They're just living the good life, sipping on cocktails with those cute little umbrellas while lounging on the Mediterranean beaches, right? Israel is so, so fortunate to have the Iron Dome, which is knocking out missiles over and over again, but it's not like there's no threat. I have family in Tel Aviv that gets interrupted by sirens every day, and down to the bomb shelters they go while the Iron Dome goes to work. Do you really think people just laugh that off?

The people I know over there are semi-safe because Israel is one of the most militarily advanced countries in the world and their defense is rock solid. But it's not like these rockets are fake, Putin.

http://puu.sh/amH3D/e4b14be5b9.png
http://puu.sh/amHE5/11b246c525.png

You're going to say that these rockets were shot down, so it's obviously not a big deal because they didn't blow up. That doesn't matter. Palestine shot these rockets into Israel, into *civilian areas* since that apparently means something more to you, intending to destroy and intending to kill.

Good god, you're a mess.

Do you really think I'm going to trust the word of the Herald for my news, the most pro-Mugabe newspaper ever written? They don't even try to mask their bias. I can't believe you actually read that. Granted, the pro-Mugabe, pro-dictatorship, anti-free speech combination probably appeals to you.

I'm not in denial of what Israel's done. They build illegal settlements in Palestinian territory, they respond to rocks thrown at tanks with gunfire, and they hide what they do to the rest of the world. I get it. I don't support Israel. The Palestinians ought to have a state. I have made that more than clear on this forum, and you and your buddies who think that this war is a one-sided argument in favor of the Palestinians continue to ignore it. I simply have family that lives in Israel and like any reasonable person, I don't want them to get hit by Palestinian rockets. I'm sure the people in Gaza feel the same way, so you should support peace, not retaliation. If the Palestinians were actually peaceful, or if the Israelis were actually peaceful, there would be a real villain, but as things are, there's just two deranged nations fighting each other with the knowledge that nothing good is going to come out of it. You'd know that if you weren't getting your info from RawStory or the Herald. Really, the Herald?

http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-israeli-genocide-in-gaza/

Unless you want to refute the numbers, it's clear that Israel isn't targeting civilians. I made a comment a few days back that there would be waaaaaaay more civilian casualties in Gaza if Israel didn't care as much as it did about avoiding them as much as possible while achieving their goal of disrupting all terror targets in Gaza, of which there are many.

The problem Israel has is they don't feel safe deeling with a government that has proven connections to Hamas. The bloodshed there goes both ways and neither are solely to blame. On the other hand a few years ago when the Palestenians and Israelis were finally getting along on a land arrangement Israel, with The USA's backing built large complexes on soon to be Palestenian land. The crap over there is so convuluted that people who purely support one side or another don't know enough about the topic
Randomizer (722 D)

Hamas has won with the FAA banning US airlines from going to Tel Aviv after a single rocket got near the airport. They haven't hit a single target that they aimed at, but the threat is enough to disrupt and terrorize.

"Granted, the pro-Mugabe, pro-dictatorship, anti-free speech combination probably appeals to you."

Bingo, bo_sox.

"I'm sure the people in Gaza feel the same way, so you should support peace, not retaliation. If the Palestinians were actually peaceful, or if the Israelis were actually peaceful, there would be a real villain, but as things are, there's just two deranged nations fighting each other with the knowledge that nothing good is going to come out of it."

I think the Israelis and Palestinians as people are on equal moral footing; I maintain Hamas (not the Palestinians, Hamas) is worse than Israel...

Which I mean to be taken more as a sign of just how much I find Hamas to be an absolutely-despicable group than an endorsement of Israel.

Israel's done terrible things in the West Bank, and they're going to feel ashamed of it if a peace deal is ever signed and these parties have time to reflect.

But in a rare moment, I agree with what Netanyahu said today, equating Hamas to ISIS and Hezbollah (who have offered to support Hamas) and Boko Haram and Al Quaeda and so on. Hamas, by the statement of people who I know who lived in the region--heck, we heard from H.H. days ago--is a despicable organization.

And by cutting off travel to Tel Aviv, we ARE giving a "prize to terror."

That gives Hamas all the more incentive to target the airport and areas near the airport again...they said 10 days ago they would target it...and now, after seeing it had an effect, they most certainly will do so again. So--if they hit a plane, and hundreds die who are neither Israeli nor Palestinian and have nothing to do with this conflict...what will be the defense for Hamas "changing" then?

Their rockets can't do what the pro-Russian BUK missile did, but landing or taking off, they can still hit the plane and can still cause a crash or kill hundreds...heck, they could hit it on the landing strip.

http://news.yahoo.com/hamas-rockets-found-second-united-nations-school-224830922.html

^I ask you...if Hamas really and truly cared about the civilian population of Gaza...

WHY put those rockets, ie, weapons of war AND a target for the Israelis, in what is supposed to be a shelter for civilians?

And this is the SECOND time this week, so not an isolated incident, either.

It's almost like Hamas doesn't care if Israelis accidentally hit innocents or not because hitting innocents benefits Hamas in terms of aid and the social media war...

But no...I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for why they'd do this...twice...at least twice...so far...in just this last round of fighting alone..

If by adults, you mean hate-filled media pawns spewing anti-semetic bullshit and ignoring Israel's right to defend itself, ignoring the reality that it's war, that collateral damage happens, and that when big boys and girls talk they recognize the dangerous facts and unexpected tragedy of war and can accept that not every death is intentional...then yes, I guess adult were talking.

Ironically -- when you thought the adults were talking, FineRedMist was silent....so...maybe you were right, and the adults WERE taling, right up until You made your (as usual) pointless attack comment.

And, while you're at it...why don't you join a fucking game...or are you worried that you will then be banned as a multi by actually violating a rule by playing games under multiple accounts (as you indicated to me in a PM that you believe you are NOT violating any rules until you play a game...)

NO - this is not an accusation -- this is simply the report of a conversation FineRedAss and I had in PM, lest any of you be concerned old krellin is making a cheating accusation...
