Man, that is so true, for all I know you could be completely for everything I am against... but what does it matter? Actually it would make things more interesting as long as we didn't start calling eachother names... LOL
I think some people need to learn what the words DEBATE, DISCUSSION, CONVERSATION... mean.

The British culture I have noticed are really good at not agreeing with each other on touchy subjects and yet still having a stimulating conversation. I was always shocked how politicians in Israel always ague with each other and in the UK you see them smiling and talking calmly about the most senstive subjects in total disagreement.

I think that apart from the weight trainging forum here on EF (which is amazing) and joke threads here, whenever I have participated in a thread regarding peoples point of views here it has turned into a shouting match... I myself may have been to blame also at times... but really it is so easier to shout at someone than (which is so much more profitable) to try and understand why they think the way they do.

Exactly, some of my most interesting conversation have been with people that have completely different views than I, but since we both were able to communicate our points of view it became a give and take and prolly changed the way we viewed things. I mean afterall, who wants to talk to only people who agree with everything you think. I mean what good is that?

Ive been on this board for a long time under different names as I lose my password after not logging on for awhile or other stuff, not paying for my platinum membership renewal, lost my last handle that way. And I recently came back. Ive met some really good people on this CC board and would consider them friends even though Ive never met them. Id be upset if they were going through rough times. I just came back to this board last week after being off it from end of last spring and I was very happy to see alot of the cool people still here. You really have to wade through the morons on this board to find the precious gems that are here. Sorta like panning for gold. Now, I rarely let anyone rattle me, I try to explain my position and by the time I get pissed me enough to yell at them I usually just move on, just not worth it. The few times I have said rude things to people, I go back and edit it out as if I never said it. Afterall, I dont want other people to see me act like that, I could care less about the person that led me to the point, but the others who might read it. Id prefer people to have an impression of my posts as positive and well thought out.

what?!?!? no namecalling?!?!?

LIsten dipshit, me and bruthabill are busy agreeing with each other here. It is a civilized conversation and you cannot fathom what that means to me at this point. Now Fuck off and come back when we call you.

Ok?

what?!?!? no namecalling?!?!?

No just commiserating as to how stupid people can be at times on this board. GEEZUS, HT do you ever sleep its got to be like 5:30 where youre at. Sorta just talking about the GD comment for awhile.

 

[Allon]

Seriously, I am in shock, I forgot how pleasant conversation can be.

Between Grand Dickhead and Dirk Howat I was having fun, but it was not pleasant at all...

I am wondering who is worse. GD or DH... hmmmm.

it is, long day, today, caught a nap this evening and i'm all screwed up hours wise. glad it's the weekend.

Yeh man, lets move Israel out to the outback, or even just a small part of queensland would suit me, I just hope the Aussie rednecks won't think I am a native and shoot me...

BTW, It is very safe here. you are more likely to be mugged or shot in America than to be in a terror atack here. The most dangerous thing in Israel is the roads, percentage wise like 30 times more people die here a year by car accidents than by terror, so as long as you walk while you are here you should be ok... REALLY. I would be much more worried walking around any city in the US then walking around tel aviv.

Yeah I know its safe, just having a lil fun y'know, giving you a couple of years to solve a 2000 year old blood feud. I swear thats how fast people think the situation can be solved. But I read your post about Mahmoud Abbas, and I agree from what I see he just may be what the situation needs. Ive heard him say some take a tough position or two, but you have to be like that or theyd shoot him. Hopefully they can get some of the corruption out of there palestinian authority and get the money into the peoples hands who need it rather than line the pockets of a few crooks. I mean how much did Arafat squirrel away, billions of dollars earmarked for the people.
Do you live in Tel aviv?
Yeah where would one move and entire fucking country, where oh where could you folks go? I wish GD was here to enlighten us. LOL!

 

[Allon]

Yeh Abbas may be the real thing. I realized a long time ago that there is no "Solution" here. however moderate thinking will help evolve things to something that right now is not acceptable, by that time the solution will become automatic.

Or we could just move... as there is no "need" for the state of Israel. Yuh, thats a solution.

Yep, I live in Tel Aviv, but have lived all over Israel, and in the UK for a couple of years, and SA and travelled all over.
