You appear to be saying "My comment was ignorant and irrelevant... but so was his.. so there!" Is that supposed to mitigate prejudicial ignorance and slanderous generalisation on a nation's ordinary citizens?
Erroneous, erroneous and erroneous... You're both knee-jerking so bad your knee caps are in danger of shattering.He anal-spasmed and linked my PallyWood post with the deaths of Lebanese in this war which has relatively nothing to do with each other and like a puppet you followed suit. Relax, go polish off a couple pints of Häagen-Daz, curl up in bed to an Anne Rice novel and lay of the personal vendetta, it's pathetic.

Oh, theres's a lot of Lebanese who would try to kill me for any minor infraction; like not being a muslim, like being American etc. what's your point?

This "known terrorist organization" was chosen to be in lead in Palestine and Israel and US simply doesn't like it, see who cares about democracy when it comes to personal dislikes. "Arresting" politicians is kidnapping as well.

Hey, politicians aren't above the law. At least they shouldn't be. Example - some senator from Luisiana had his office searched on suspicion of bribery. If he did it, then he should definitely go to jail. If he were a flight risk he should be in jail even if the charges haven't been completely proven.

If it went over your head, it is no concern of mine... I explained very simply what I said and why I said it, it was to prove the point that his comment was irrelevant; who in the hell cares if Lebanese would kick my ass, I certainly don't. Also, I did not say the 'whole of Lebanon' as you have been trying desperately to twist my words.
Which Lebanese would kill me you ask? Well I'm sure there's at least a 50-100 of militant anti-American Lebanese somewhere in Lebanon who would kill me because I am American. But that is as irrelevant as Lebanese kicking my ass and that's why I ended my comment with asking Dirty Vader "Whats your point?"
"abrasiveness and defensiveness" That's funny coming from the person who tries to ridicule people for poor grammer and spelling errors.
I distinctly remember you saying you were South American. I take it you're referring to the Hezbollah militia, with the reference to the 50-100 "militant anti-American Lebanese" (the term anti-American in this context really refers more towards the U.S. solely) in which case it's more like 3,000 or so. Now wouldn't it have been simpler to simply say Hezbollah? The comment would have been equally irrelevant. It makes one wonder if this is a case of parapraxia.
"Grammar", if you feel it's ridicule that's really your own issues. Errors irk me. Correcting errors comes as second nature, it's part of my job. On the contrary you have tried to correct an assumed error on my part (which was deliberate on my part) in an attempt at ridicule. Interesting.

Wow, hitting the thesaurus extra hard tonight are we? Leave the psycho babble out of this, it wasn't a subconscious slip, I explained the reason why I said it. To prove a point, simple as that.
Listen, if correcting peoples spelling and grammar mistakes is just second nature or some form of anal retentiveness (Freud right back at you), then why do you do it selectively? There are posts in this thread alone by other people that make my writing proficiency seem unparalleled by comparison. Yet you only selectively choose to do it to ridicule someone when they disagree and counter your point of views. But as you say, "do try and spin spin spin it, however you want to."
I'm not going to correct someone like leonwhatever's posts because they're full of a ton of bad grammar and errors. But if I see something in a post I'm responding to I'll correct it. I don't tend to be responding to posts that agree completely with me, go figure.
Does my memory serve me correctly in that you stated you're South American? Pure curiosity.
And are there more Lebanese that would kill you on sight or solely Hezbollah militia, some of which probably aren't Lebanese besides.

Obviously I was referring to post you reply too and yes, you are selective when doing so. Spin away!

Now, what was your point?
Well, considering what the Lebanese just went through and the US not only supports Israel but supplies them weapons, I would safely assume that there are at least a few Lebanese common people that would kill me if they had the chance. Just a guess, I could be wrong. Whats your point?
I was interested in the context under which you use the term anti-American. I doubt Hezbollah cares one way or another about Peru or Brazil or Chile. I was also interested prior in the personal context under which you were defending Truman's deliberate attack on civilians in WWII and your response while being true was also to an extent somewhat disingenuous.
I prefer "Sexual healing".
"At least a few". Not the purported "a lot", of ordinary Lebanese citizens? Any concrete numbers, or estimates?
That's not the same reasoning as you gave earlier now is it? The reasoning was that you'd be killed on sight for being non-Muslim, and being American; minor infractions.
Retroactive qualification of a generalisation, with somewhat prejudicial undertones. Retroactive qualification seems to be something that occurs often with you.
Asides aside, now that the conflict is winding down, relatively arbitrarily, a new more pertinent topic would be what has been the outcome of the past month or so of bombardment on both sides of the Blue Line?

Basically. Isreal is a terrorist State.
Israel was attacked. Their actions are very simple: defense. Any country that encounters a situation like this would, in retrospect, act the same way that Israel has. The deaths that have occurred so far, including those of the UN observers, are casualties of war. They could have been avoided, but people die in war. That's what happens.
Israel is in the right. Hezbollah is in the wrong. If they had never done anything to Israel, the attacks happening inside Lebanon would have never happened (at this point in our history).

If it helps you sleep better at night thinking I feel the way I feel about the Israel/Lebanon war and WWII solely because I am American, go for it.
Great song too.
"A lot" was in directed at the militants, "A few" was directed at your common Lebanese citizen; you knew that.
Not sure how you feel, but having 50 people willing to kill me for superficial reasons more than qualifies as "A lot" to me. You can feel different on the quantity, its a personal thing I guess.
Lol; you're still stuck on trying to label me the 'Lebanese hater'... Listen, just because you hate Israel and that may or may not be the reasons on how you expressed your opinions on this thread doesn't mean I have to be a hater too.
Nope, you spoke to soon, we have a new player it seems, see above. Israel-Lebanon round #? Go for it...
Originally posted by RobtardI don't think it's the sole reason but it more than likely plays a role. Just like myself not being a U.S. citizen and the corollaries, such as the media I'm exposed to and the history I'm taught, plays a role in the formation of my opinions.

Originally posted by RobtardThe Hezbollah militia are a distinct group aside from the ordinary Lebanese civilians. You know that. Thus I find your use of "a lot of Lebanese" rather than simply Hezbollah, interesting.
"A lot" was in directed at the militants, "A few" was directed at your common Lebanese citizen; you knew that.
Originally posted by RobtardIt's more like 3000 or so, about 0.1% of the population of Lebanon. So no that's not a lot of Lebanese, that is a lot of Hezbollah fighters though.

Of course clearly for one to speak ill of Israel's foreign policy, one must hate Israel. I'm a rabid antisemitic. Destroy Israel. Destroy Judaism. (Sarcasm for those to retarded to discern sarcasm).

You said, "prejudicial ignorance and slanderous generalisation[sic]" That pretty much tells me you're in the very least implying some sort of prejudice and biases on my part towards the Lebanese people. Am reading your undertones incorrectly?
No, one does not need to hate in order to see a wrong doing generally speaking but, call me Quasimodo, I have a very good hunch it was you who said:

[B]Yes, clearly those who condemn the current actions of Israel hate Israel. One can't condemn actions that have lead to a large amount of deaths, simply because they believe it wrong. That's absurd. What drives your "Go Israel! Go!" political view one wonders.
Was I wrong in thinking you hate Israel?
So....
Something blow up again?
I don't even keep track anymore. Explosions must as commonplace as pidgeons in Britain.
"What was that?"
"Sounds like a car bomb."
"Really? I thought it had more of elementary school suicide attack feel to it. You can definitely tell by the fiery Pokemon shirts floating down the street."
"Hmm. Looks like you're right. Did you watch Desperate Housewives last night?"
"Oh my god, yes! Can you believe Andrew slept with Bree's boyfriend!?"

In a sarcastic way, therefore implying the opposite contrary to your previous statement of:

Spin it baby!
Do we really care about this conflict that much? It's gonna continue long after we're all dead.
Our grandchildren will probably debating on a virtual reality forum whether or not Israel had the right to send in robotic killer chickens after Lebanon or the Palestinians used a 20-foot yield nuclear weapon to blow up a flying car....
