    as much as i dislike the liberals - they at least responded to my emails ... the conservatives have yet to reply to 1 ... but seeing as they don't answer questions from the media - its not really a surprise i guess ...

    Better believe it...what worries me is that in coming days the US military will be involved evacuating their citizens from Lebanon and I hope to whatever is out there that a Hezbollah rocket or mis-guided Israel missle does not somewhat interfere in the process...because if it does things will get much worse....

    Or an Iranian missile ... Why do these people need to fan the flames, exactly?

    Yes, how many times do i need to repeat this, i have apologized about posting my opinion in this thread. I also think you're wrong, we're not ignorant because we don't live there, but we're ignorant of the feeling that these peoples are living, there's a difference between both and what disgust me is how i'm being called an ignorant for praticly advocating peace, from Hezzbolah to Israel, so yes if it makes me an ignorant, it makes me damn proud of being ignorant.

    The words are there, i'm not searching around the words, "unless you live in the middle east spare us your advice", it's such a stupid logic. I'm not saying that they should shut up and stop complaining, i compatize with them, they just don't like me voicing my opinions against them since they're living it and not me, i'm all ok with that and i left the thread after apologies, but still the logic stand in their mind... oh and i'm not offended, i just add this small line to Polaris to show how illogic it was...

    For god's sake calm down.

    I'm not calling you "ignorant" nor am I hounding you or asking you to apologize.

    ..and I certainly don't think you're ignorant for wanting peace.

    There's a huge difference between someone calling you "ignorant" in an overall manner, and saying you (or I ) are ignorant of a specific subject or issue.

    I really think you're over-blowing what she said and taking it the wrong way.

    Remember, in many cases with members of this forum, English is not their first language. So things may come across in a manner, they didn't intend.

    Again, consider the situation she is in and tell me how you think you would react if you were in a country with neverending violence and war; and you read all this stuff on the messageboard.

    Regardless of how many times you repeat it, the fact stands; we here in North America don't know everything that goes on there. Just like we don't know everything that goes on in Canada, and in vica-versa.

    Misunderstanding... I know you haven't called me an ignorant, have not said that. You haven't ask for apologize either, and i'm not giving you any, hehe.

    Good good, i comment on the stuff i know, hear, write and i don't know how it is to live there, that was said and acknowledge, no problem, no need to explain it again.

    Absolutly agree, now it becomes too important and overblown, i was only using a small sentences in a sarcastic ways, but you're the one who want to keep arguing this, i have already apologize and said i understand all that, how many times do i need to repeat this ;).

    I've said that i understand all that, they're in a situation and not me and i've stopped posting in this thread once it was put forward, now i think it's enough specially since the person is not here to defend herself or himself. Facts stands, and i will keep commenting the facts i hear and read about, not what i ignore about, i mean it's why this board is set up for, no?

    Don't get me wrong.

    I was just trying to correct what I perceived to be a misunderstanding.

    I'm not trying to be a pain in your ass (although, it's too late for that, now:D ).

    Peace and love to you.

    it only took you guys 3 pages to figure out you were saying the same thing to each other ... :p
  • Well, we know that airstrike was intended to kill those Canadians.
    Some people have not fully grasped all the consequences of war...
    ...it's not unusual for innocent people to die from time to time.
    Of course, who needs war? We all can hold hands and sing "We are the world..."

    again...words of wisdom....

    um, could you tell me again why Israel gets so upset when a couple of innocent people die in missle strikes or when a couple of soliders get kidnapped...?

    enlighten and spew, o' wise one...

    from time to time??? Either the Israeli army doesn't care about killing innocent people, or they really suck at their jobs, because by the last count that I heard 94% of the people that they killed in Lebanon are civilians. And today the made a big deal about taking out one freakin' rocket... they've fired millions of dollars worth of artillery, and they are so happy about taking out one medium range rocket??

    Yeah, we can all join the military and fight, have you consider this option yet? Or maybe you're too young, after all you sound like a high school kids in search of attention...
