Back on Topic: any opinion about the 3 hours truce to let people resupply?
A bad attempt of Israel to restrict it's plummeting image. All the food and aid will go to Hamas in the end. So it's like giving you enemy the very supplies he needs to kill you.
Considering the Israel has been telling Hamas where it'll drop bombs seems like a good P.R. method but, considering the general brutality of Hamas. They could easily tell non-combatant civilians to enter the place being struck. Israel isn't trying to start a massive fight. It just wants to disarm Hamas since they will have a extremely hard time trying to rearm since it's smuggling tunnels will be destroyed in the conflict.

Yes, the biggest problem that lies within the bad image of Islam is that Islam have no reliable PR system, if any. Most of you might think that Hamas = all Muslims, but that is completely wrong.mnx wrote...
But i think religion is one of the factor that caused the conflict, so instead of talking about religion we should talk about the ways to stop the conflict.Invasion is one of many ways that could finish the conflict, although it's not the most peaceful way of ending it. I see your concerns about Hamas = civilians, but still, i think not all civilians = Hamas.
There will still be killings and bloodshed, with innocent civilians caught in the middle.
I'd say that the UN(or anybody competent enough) should just create DMZ a la North-South Korea. Try to make those damn Hamas and the Israelis sign a cease fire treaty, divide the territory, make Jerusalem a neutral zone, and put a DMZ inbetween the borders. Disarm those frickin' rockets that bombards the Israelis. And make all those bombing sorties the Israelis run stops.
That might sound hard to do, but if a totalitarian country(with a cult-like support from its civilians)like North Korea could settle with DMZ, why can't Palestine and Israel?
a DMZ is a popular idea but, how do you enforce the rockets? Those rockets can be set up by a two man squad. Fired then stashed away in minutes. Those things are so easy to work I could probably pick one up and figure out how to work the thing in minutes. In a "bare bones" example they are a metal tube, a rocket and a ignition system. A model rocket ignition is all it takes to set one on its way. The things have a range of a couple miles but, have no guidance system and are extremely inaccurate

And Now Hezbollah Joined the Party by Firing Rockets to Israel from Lebanon...and They Blatantly Admit that...Anyone here thinks that This will be the cause of the World War 3 if it's dragged a while longer??From what I heard Hezbollah was denying firing the rockets. Interesting that you heard the opposite. Where did you hear that from? I think I heard either from Fox News or more likely CNN Headline News on Morning Express.
I don't think this will lead to WW3. Unless Iran steps in with a standing military force. Egypt won't do shit to Israel especially after getting their asses beat twice by the Israeli people. Lebanon is a maybe but, I doubt it. Since Hamas can be linked back to Iran..it's up to them if they want to set off a global war. In the current situation. If we went WW3. The allies would beat the piss out of Iran and any of it's allies. Their equipment is aging and outdated. All they have it men willing to blow themselves up. As General Patton once said
“The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.”

Well, dont they need a license to own an gun, so.. I admit i don't know much about gun laws and such. But i'm confident that countries will adapt and change to dramatic events with casualities of varying levels. There's always pricks.Just like when russia hit georgia like last year.
Guns can enter the states just like drugs. Also most homemade bombs can have the items purchased at a local Lowes or Home Depot. So unless we arrest anyone who trys to buy fertilizer we can't necessarily prevent a car bomb. Ammonium nitrate is a common oxidizer in explosive. Mix Ammonium nitrate and liquid nitromethane then add an ignition system (blasting cap) and you have a powerful bomb. Just check out anything on the Oklahoma City bombing. The problem about preventing this is Ammonium Nitrate is in fertilizer and Nitromethane is used as fuel in racing engines. Any idiot with a book can make an ignition system.

That is if they manage to not get whole world pissed off at the terrorists by then. And that one well can happen. And at the people calling us racists and bigots , I can call them racists too for being too superior to be inspected by security. It works both ways. If they don't like it they can answer to my fist and stay the hell out. I'm wondering how long Iran have left before they get smacked around.Those that won't submit peacefully end up with people blowing up in their schools and markets. The general idea on the big scale is "If they don't roll over. Kill them then roll them over".
Though the plan is actually quite genius. Since unless the government takes away massive amounts of freedom then they basically have free license to do whatever they want. There are already radical clerics in the U.S. and the U.K. already spouting hatred and that these countries should be destroyed in the name of Allah. The U.S. will probably be the last place to go down because of it's fundamentalist sects of Christianity but, that just means that America will end up in a state like Israel. Where mothers fear to send their children to school or the market. Normally, people think you are paranoid but, read enough on the subject and it's not paranoia, it's a depressing realization.

What?! Bring em on! It'd give me an legal excuse to buy a rocket launcher and automatic guns!!In an extremely unlikely scenario that all of extremists go and invade usa. I'd be buying a rocket launcher and firing a rocket after rocket into them cuz it'd be fun for me. Yes I am kind of trigger happy.
A plan was laid out by a Muslim Cleric on how to take down Europe and America without ever fighting a single bullet. It's a peaceful form of invasion. Migrate to foreign countries. Have children. Your children have children. Eventually grow from a minority to a majority. Use your political power to bring about change. Vote for candidates that are friendly with your former country.
Currently it is happening in places such a England and France. They use the Freedoms and Democracy in the country to eventually bring it down. Call people racist of bigots for calling out suspicious behavior (similar to the fly imam controversy last year).Recruit "weak" people such as people in prison to become Muslim (the BAD kind of Muslim). It takes a long time but, it's easier to do than fighting the superior military of the U.S. and Europe.
Do to the ineptness of the government to honestly do anything about it. Amongst various other things going on in the country. I honestly won't have children because I don't want them to grow up or live in an Orwellian society or live under Muslim rule in a fashion similar to Iran and similar countries.

This is why I love ya mnx. I see you as setting the positive trend for all Muslims. Muslims have a serious P.R. problem in the eyes of the world. The reason why people think Peaceful Muslims are non-existent is because we never hear your voices. When we can't hear you be don't think you are there.
I understand this is a sensitive topic for you but, you have to realize that religion is part of the topic in general. Palestinians are lead by Hamas which is basically a fanatical religious group. So religion can't be completely removed from the topic.
On one hand we have a country that is recognized by the majority of the world (the U.N.) as a country. It also embraces the ideas of freedom and democracy while maintaining strong negotiations with it's neighbors who are frankly not too happy about them being there to begin with.
On the other hand we have a "country" that is lead by a recognized terrorist organization in the eyes of the U.N. This group hides weapons and ammo in the homes of civilian and other civilian targets. Teaches children that martyrdom (which I recently found out was created in Iran) is "fun" and that it is their duty.
While the civilian casualties are certainly nothing to simply brush off but, all Hamas members are nothing more than mere civilians. They are not a standing army. Hamas training areas are in parks, school grounds and any other suitably large place within Palestinian territory.
After everything is put together I believe Israel is within it's rights to invade Palestinian territory to destroy the rockets that Hamas has been firing. To an extent I would support a full military invasion (and occupation) or even an annexation of Palestinian land. For the simple fact that Palestinians have embraced suicide bombings and kidnappings amongst a laundry list of other "evil" practices to further their "goals". I do however feel sorry for the Palestinians who promote a peaceful existence with Israel as Hamas and other groups have basically held them hostage within their own country.
Hamas and similar organizations simply can't be negotiated with at this point in time. Their goals are clearly the destruction (and in some cases the invasion) of the west.
Sounds like sarcasm (can't think of the right word. Think "parody" or something). Considering the "religious fanatics" who run this site have a banner advertising shirts with "unsaven" "I <3 Satan" "Demon". No religious site would have those. Tthe über religious wouldn't have Obama gear for sale either.
One thing I have thought about is why haven't anime dvd's gone the route of music? All sorts of shows are available through places like Itunes. So what if anime went digital?
Many have already mentioned these points but, I'll reiterate them
1). Dubs are piss poor. They actually annoy a portion of the customers. Terrible dubs lead to less interest. Less interest means less money
2). Information isn't getting out to the public about anime. Most anime I see in stores, I have never even heard of!
3). Less airtime for shows and the reason is because of less interest (because of the piss poor dubs). Want the mainstream to embrace you? Then don't market a product that actually annoys them. I refuse to buy dvd's on the fact that every anime dvd/vhs I have ever watched had voices that would make paint peel from the walls.
4). C.N. played anime I assumed for the lead into Adult Swim since A.S. used anime as a way to set up a base but, started playing this trash people call entertainment. A.S was never about anime so that leaves channels like sci-fi with their small anime section and Encore/action with animidnight but, still it's paltry at best.
The niche will remain but, they have to step up on their end to get the mainstream. They need to start with getting awesome voice actors like Steve Blum and McGlynn, Mary Elizabeth

I've had plenty of girls yell at me, saying things like, "No, the couple's supposed to do stuff together!" and "A guy shouldn't want to leave his girlfriend alone!" and other nonsense that only makes sense if you don't think about it. That's what I said that I was prepared to get bashed.Really, I don't understand the whole wanting to be together all the time thing. When you spend all your time with a person, and do everything together, you just get bored of each other sooner. And you can't bring up new subjects because your partner already knows everything because you spend all your time together!
Maybe I'm just bitter . . . The worst part of a relationship is when both parties have absolutely nothing new to say to one another.

Fpod-- You've misunderstood jihad; jihad is actually supposed to be an inner (sometimes outer) struggle to understand and truly practice Islam. For example, a college kid who, after being bombarded with the media's images of Islam (which is definitely less than positive, I think you'll agree :D), might be like "Oh... these people also claim they're Muslim? In that case, I don't want to be one, it all seems so violent." I was using their definition of "Jihad" their "struggle" against the west and against the foundations of Western society (democracy, freedom,etc). In your sense everybody has a Jihad in some shape or form. Though my point still remains that if removing religion would remove that Jihad from the world. Though conflict over land and such wouldn't end it would shift from "My god is right, bow to him" to trying to use resources of that land.

Anyway, I think it's grossly unfair to use a minority within any religion/race/whatever to represent the whole. The members of the KKK consider themselves a Christian organization and base their doctrines upon their own reading of the Bible. Their theology is strongly influenced by Christian Reconstructionism - they hope to "reconstruct" the United States along biblical (primarily Old Testament) lines and to establish a white-dominated theocracy. I don't see them as the minority. Even if they were the minority their actions and words show them as the dominate half of Islam where moderates are meek or non-existent. When I think of Islam I think of a man who wants to kill me if I make a bad joke about Islam or would kill me for even saying ANYTHING outside of the highest praise for Mohammad.
In an age of insanity "moderates" are the minority Christian or Muslim. If there is ANY religion I tend to be on easier terms with it's polytheistic religions (pagan,etc) or religions that focus on ones inner self rather than the "sins" of oneself. Seriously, a Buddhist or Tao fanatic is more likely to meditate than ever commit a violent act. I don't even know if I have ever heard of a true Buddhist ever even punching someone in recent years.
As for the "twisting of religion" it's all up to interpretations so how can we say either interpretation is right or wrong? It's like an opinion. There are clear examples from the Koran that specifically call for violence. Same goes for Christianity. There are so many sects and branches of either because of interpretations but, it still comes down to one major flaw. They believe in a god.

Without Islam or Christianity there wouldn't be a "holy war" no "Jihad". No suicide bombers because "Allah will reward them", no abortion clinic bombings. The list goes on and on. In my eyes the world would be a lot better if religion was abolished
False. People use organized religion as an excuse to do terrible things to each other, but if they were to overcome cultural misconceptions, not live in oppressive poverty where they are ruled by power hungry governments, and have access to education and actual democracy (or some peaceful form of governance), then things would be different. But, even if religion were abolished overnight, while these other social factors remained the same-- people would find another excuse. Perhaps skin color; perhaps socioeconomic status; anything goes.
Those aspects I mentioned would cease to exist without religion as they are purely religious terms. Only Muslim fanatics use "Jihad". 72 virgin suicide bombers, etc all exist due to religion. Remove religion and you will certainly see an end to most if not all of these events. Suicide bombers may continue but, it's harder to convince a guy to blow himself up without the whole "Allah" and virgins bit.

I consider atheism a religion.Even capitalism can be a religion. Like Durkheim, I view religion as any cohesive social force that brings people who share similar beliefs together. The more you explain Durkheim's concept of religion the more I think he was a moron who didn't understand the concept. Though with being instrumental in the creation of sociology and anthropology. I guess his words do hold some merit. Our definitions of religion are almost polar opposite. You see Atheism as a religion. I see it as the absence of religion. You see Capitalism as a religion I see it as an economic system.
Sarene wrote...
Your definition of religion seems more similar to Marx's. An opiate of the masses. Then again, he viewed the use of religion as a way to perpetuate economic injustice by allowing oppressors to make the exploited more hopeful. -shrugs- ...now that I think more, that also seems to be applicable to the Middle East, since terrorism corrupts religion to justify inhumane actions. Then again, you will find many peaceful people who practice a religion (Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, etc.), and really feel guidance due to having an additional religious identity...
The three points marx makes against religion do echo my own thoughts. Though the economic babble isn't a shared idea. Though I can see his side though the pastors who earn hundreds of thousands of dollars from their churches in order to retire. They are men of the cloth and are supposed to preach the Gospel and live a humble life. Owning a house bigger than one I will ever own isn't being humble. While there may be peaceful practitioners it still doesn't change the fact that I view them as mentally weak. All the evidence in my life only leads to that fact. I see the peaceful people are weak and the fanatics and mentally ill.

And that's pretty much why you can live without the day-to-day lies, yeah? Personal accountability and initiative to handle things in your life yourself without going running to daddy and telling him the mean man stole your toys.
...That statement made your father into an omnipresent being. But if your father was anything like mine, than he probably thought he was one...
More on topic, you are correct, sir. Asking some being who has never shown itself or done anything for me to help me just to avoid personal responsibility is in no way rational.
Speaking of Fathers. I wouldn't go so far as to say he thinks he's omnipresent. More like all knowing and that you should know what he's thinking or wanting without him having to explain it.
This HAS been drifting away form the topic at hand. More to the point about religion is that it is being used to brainwash people like the Palestinians into blowing themselves up. If you want to talk about religion and making people do things. Bush claims that God spoke to him about invading Iraq.
If it wasn't for religion the majority of the violence between Israel and Palestine would go away. It would be more like
"Hey, this was our land."
"No, this is our land"
"I have an idea how about we both settle here? No sense is fighting over something that can be shared right?"
