standin above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way

    Can't people just live together?

    Nobody owns land. The land owns us.

    Geez, we're still like chimpanzees when it comes to being territorial..

    It's a primitive part of our brain that doesn't allow us to live together and get along.

    Will people ever realize that we are all the fucking same?

    The thing I never really got about this whole dispute (and a lot of other similar disputes) is that it is just land. I know the argument is that it is the land of their forefathers, but so what. I don't live on the land of my forefathers, I don't even live on the land of my father. I would be suprised to hear if anyone on this board lived on the land of their forefathers. Plus from what I understand most of the land in that area isn't really that great to begin with.

    Plunking down a bunch of Jews in a land where they were most definitely NOT wanted, just because a 2,000 year old piece of fiction tells us it used to be their home, is probably the biggest foreign policy mistake the U.S. has ever made.


    I know we felt guilty after the holocaust, but Israel, in its current location, should not exist.

    this land has been changing hands, more than most, for centuries...why is now any different? It's not like we've evolved as a society. Our downfall, our armageddon will be our unwillingness to treat each other with respect, our unwillingness to accept our differences or realize our commonalities, our inability to control pandora's box...basically our species is idiotic, and we'll die as such.

    or, just maybe one day we'll surprise ourselves.

    For comments like that the rest of the world hates America.

    No. A lot of people hate America for various reasons, one of which is it's governments singularly blind support for Israel and Israel's crimes.
