What you said is very valid BUT the same can be said of the Israelis, every time there is a suicide attack they go into the West Bank and demolish the homes of a load of innocent people (or shoot a 12 year old). I am not saying he was perfect and never tried to imply it. But, in the current climate, he was the best of a VERY bad bunch, and yes he did condemn suicide attacks. Fair enough you are a critic but you must then criticise the Israelis also. No-one who truly knows the facts can say one side is definatively in the right. Thats all I meant.

I'll stand and critise Ariel Sharron for going back on the Road map to peace, ordering the Helicopter attacks by Israel, building the wall and generally making more of a mess there that there already is. When he dies I expect to see some sort of joke about a washing powder and essex girls. Furthermore I'll criticise the US for blindly supporting the Israelis even when they contravien UN mandates. A fat lot of good it will do us though as none of them are likely to listen.

I would always be weary of the belief of knowing all the facts, its an impossibility because of the bias of reporting of the media. And we're not party to too many any other information sources than the state run BBC and the Captialist newspapers/television stations.

Two things:

1) Phatbob is a good friend of mine and I assure you, he REALLY knows what he is on about :nod:

2) That joke isnt risky in the slightest. :rolleyes:

You wanna hear a risky joke??

What has ten legs and screams?
5 babies in a microwave :)
 
spot on Bob :thumbs:
especially the Ariel Sharron joke :p

Although we will certainly not put up with any genuinely blatantly offensive shit on this forum. It's a sad sign of the times when people feel they have to check every single word that comes out of their mouth to make sure it is ok with everyone else who inhabits the internet......
Peace out,
JR :)
 
I'm sorry but i'm finding it really hard to take this argument seriously when yeagers title still reads "loves michael barrymore"...

Now THAT I agree with :nod: especially the bold bit :nod: but you can still learn from various sources, not just the media, and try to form an intelligent opinion, we are all trying to do with sensible discussion. :thumbs:
