At local schools where I live children are taught to spy on their parents and report back to the school. While moving between lessons they must walk single file with one hand on the shoulder of the child in front. If they speak while marching between lessons they receive detention. And what do the "teachers" do about this? They go along with it. When a teacher was asked by a friend of mine why her child must march with her hand on the shoulder of the child in front, and without speaking, the teacher said "we cant have them running wild, people would get hurt" That reply tells us a lot about the intelligence of those teaching the children.
as a teacher I see kids on 5 or 6 heavy-duty meds and the poor child can barely function. Magic Pills

Remember who started this all. Remember who decided that they wanted to run the show in the Pacific and have every other country subservient under them.
Japan started the war. You start a war with the world, you lose the right to complain when said world turns around and lays the nuclear mushroom stamp across your dumbass forehead.

The 'bad America' stuff I can't stomach. Try living in one of these other third world hell holes, or God forbid, next time someone like Hitler comes along and no place on earth is safe unless you can fight him off and blah blah.
But, the whole conversation brings me back 20 years to an interview I heard with Yitzhak the beast Rabin on NPR of all places.
They started taking phone calls for Rabin and some little college puke called in and whines, "you execute people without a fair trial" or something like that. Rabin said, "My friend, you live in a dream world. We live surrounded by hostile enemies who think nothing of getting on a bus full of women and children with a bomb designed to kill as many of them as possible. We don't have time".
I'll never forget that as long as I live. Most of you live in a dream world. I don't condone what goes on, but I'm not shocked. The only thing that ever shocks me is that it's not a million times worse. I thank God every day for my country where I grew up and have since brought up my children in relative safety protected from the global community.
Just my opinion.

Hypothetical question, if one of these patients being experimented on could produce a vaccine, would you deny that vaccine to others? If it meant saving thousands of lives?

No, I don't see Americas' crimes as different. People are all the same everywhere and capable of atrocity. So you think we are imperialist and should stay home and all will be well. I wish I could agree. I doubt our wars are entirely just or we never damaged anyone, nor did I mean to imply that. I'm just glad I'm here.
Was the beast correct? I don't know. I do know if the IDF did not act in a pre-emptive fashion, Israel would not exist which was implied in his statement. That is correct and I agree 100%. I'm sure we do the same thing. I hope we keep doing it.
I don't like that things are the way they are but I can't afford to pretend they aren't.

It's not the Israel or the Israeli people who call for the total annihilation of Palestine or the Palestinians, and Israel has always come to the table and talked to them but that just makes them laugh, think them weak, and continue to seek their destruction. How many concessions has Israel made, and how many more should they?
Who took what land from whom? Who created the state of Israel and why? Who was there at that time exactly? Jordan was created as a Palestinian state. Why wont any of the surrounding Arab countries offer them asylum. Why shouldn't Syria or Lebanon or Jordan or Saudi Arabia give them some land? Were the Palestinians ever anything but wandering tribesman? Would you let someone committed to your death move into half your house and think your children safe?
There will never be peace in the middle east. The Arabs (not all) don't want peace. Do you think Israel would attack anyone if left alone?
