Radar, I speak Chinese. And I know for certain that how ever many thousand years ago, there WAS no chinese identity of any sort, before Qin Shi Huang Di unified china. As I already said, if you could have been bothered to read, before Qin Shi Huang Di commanded a unified writing style for all of his domain, not only did each former nation-state have its own independent language, but its own completely different identity and culture. We aren't talking, like, an athens-sparta kind of difference, where they were separate but still both greek... we're talking, like, the difference between brazil and italy. Possibly some common linguistic roots way back there somewhere, but... utterly separate cultures. Then, imagine some dictator took over both italy and brazil, and decreed that they had to write the same way, even if they didnt say everything the same way. Hundreds of years later, portugese and italian would become part of the same language family, rather than separate languages, right?
Look, you are not going to win this one, radar. All the historical evidence is against you. Before there was a china, there absolutely were NO chinese. Only long after Qin Shi Huang Di unified what is now china were there any chinese people. Simply picking out one word from my entire post and saying, nolookthatischinese, is both intellectually dishonest and just plain stupid.

Don't try looking for logic Ibram. You're talking to a man who deems it acceptable to use children as human shields.

Yeah, but only if their parents are dicks. Sins of the father and all that.
WARNING: Israeli and (white) American children: not OK for human shield use.

So if I ban guns and Radar revolts I get to use his children as body shields? Nice...
But anyways, Radar, I want you to answer these questions with zero bullshit. 1) Your argument for Israel becoming a state is because their was an Israeli state 2,000 years ago and the Jews should return to their home. Now, the Lakota People of Minnesota and North and South Dakota had been living in that area for long time, I haven't seen any dates of when they moved in. But in the late 1700s and early 1800s white settlers moved in and either killed them or forced them to live in reservations. Now, you are saying that Israel should get its state back after 2,000 years, why aren't you fighting for a Lakota state of only losing their land of 250 years? Remember, like the Jews, the Lakota people have been living in this area when it has been under foreign occupation as well. For example, I am good friends with someone of Lakota decent and he goes to my school. 2) Igoring a larger state of Palestine, the people living in Palestine have been living in that area and have owned property there for over 3,000 years (Jews living in Palestine are considered Palestinians), do you not believe in a human right of owning property? Those people have owned land whether they were under foreign control or not, and you are justifying the forced movement of over 4 million refugees. How can this be with your strong libertarian influences. I, and I'm sure you wouldn't either, would not give up my house so the Lakota people could move back in, why should the Palestinian people give up their personal property for people that have not lived there for 2,000 years (assuming most Jews immigrated, which is highly true)? 3) You have justified Israel's actions with the thought that a few bad apples can spoil the whole bunch. A very few amount of Palestinians (less than 1 in 1,000) have resorted to terrorist like actions and many Palestinians look down upon these actions but have zero means of stopping them. Now, are you willing to say it is OK for you to be bombed (this includes everyone you love) because of the actions of Bush and the neo-cons or are you going to stop them yourself? The choice is yours. |

I wouldn't be putting the child at risk by using him as a human shield. His father would be putting him at risk if he kept shooting my direction while I was holding his child.

You are hardly in a position to judge the logic of others or even to discuss logic. As an anti-Zionist, you are immune to logic and reason and have no ability to grasp reality or truth.

No it isn't. If someone is shooting at me, HE is the person doing the endangering. HE is the one with the gun. If I pick up his kid and use him as a shield, HE should stop shooting at me. If he shoots at me while I'm holding his kid HE is the person endangering his kid, not me.
It's fucking idiotic to say I am the bad guy when someone else is killing and I'm trying not to die.

What if you believe he is unlikely to shoot any child, and none of his are available? Are you justified in picking up the child of an innocent bystander to hide behind?

Well, he definitely thinks he's a kung fu master, but I think he's more of a troglodyte myself.
Thoughts anyone?

I vote troglodyte with a hint of proto-Neanderthal.
