classic avoidance berhaviour...... faced with moralistic issue you can't cope with, you turn the thread into a dictionary thread.



(PS The lebbonese death toll is now over 300 - how many fighters does Hezbollah have, and whats the minimum age?)

I'm coping just fine. The Israelis have a right to defend themselves; that their attackers choose to hide among the (relatively) innocent is not their fault.

I suspect you didn't realize when you wrote this, how much it revealed about you.

In any discussion intended to rise above the level of shouting-match, terms must be defined and agreed upon. Otherwise, you don't really understand what the other person is saying. To stop and define terms is the mark of reason.

Don't let me stop you, though. Shout away.
