Dude you've made some pretty big comments aimed at winding people up on here over time that I often do find amusing but this time you really can't be f**kin' serious? This thread needs deleting, it's offensive and insensitive.

Fishing for bites!! Did someone say you can ignore or block forum members.. How do I do this.. Cheers

Awful conflict, what a S**t Storm, although a bit of me (the little boy with the Observer's Book of Aircraft c.1979) was excited about the Panavia "Tornado" being deployed on sortee's.

When has policing by bombing worked?
When your family becomes collateral, do you become more fanatical, or say well its just one of those things, they did not mean it.
If I was president of the USA would I look at the criticism being levelled at me for inaction and accept that because of it I will probably loose the next election, or do something that has never worked will kill hundreds of thousands  and will keep me in office?

Bombing is not the answer and never has been.





 

What you've just done by accusing me of siding with a country like Israel is exactly the reason this needs deleting... How do do go about making that assumption? It just turns the thread into a mass personal slagging session, I'm not being drawn into. Comments like that are uncalled for dude. You have no idea on my beliefs or views so how dare you assume I'm 'one of those people'.

Cowardly masked murders deserve no airtime in this age and especially not an an art forum. What they do hiding behind religion can't be defended in any way. The coward using that knife to butcher a descent human being, that had been proven in a court of their own to be innocent is British. It's embarrassing.

Delete this thread before it becomes too heated.

What EXACTLY are you talking about zero? Did I miss an edit?

All I saw was a member with eyes WIDE open talking about current affairs?

Howeer the solutions are way to gray and complex to be discussed on a thread like this where folks can't even be rational about missing out on a piece of printed paper.

This^^^^^

Thread is dead for me.

Does anyone know if there is a way to block particular threads (i know we can block members)?
If not is there anyway this can be done mods Daniel Silk Wearology ?

Don't forget Religion and flipping, God its already looking quite big.

y'all want it to be one way but it's the other way.

Correct, however, I find it difficult to have a discussion with someone who has an emotional argument based on little to no fact.  I have studied the middle east as a hobby/interest for quite some time, and am almost always disappointed by peoples inability to set their emotion aside and have a discussion, or even an argument based on fact.

You are correct perspective matters, however all to often people assume their perspective is the be all and end all.  However if you actually want to disucss what is going on with the world, I would argue that the below questions are where we should start and not from this simplistic statement

"What a clusterfcuk this latest offensive
is going to become


Bombs heal complex situations always

Someone will have to remind me who are the good guys and who are the bad, because it's getting fcuking blurry"


1 - How do you fight, or re-educate a group of people who truly believe that death is their salvation, and that this is an absolute fact?  (Religious Radicals, I say this because this is not a belief held singularly to Islam...  think the rapture...)

2 - How do you make up for decades of economic enslavement, marginalization, and murder?  (Not exclusive to the middle east, but all nations across the world except for those small enough and lucky enough to be able to provide a high standard of living for all of it's people)

3 - Once the above two have been addressed, how do you setup a GLOBAL society in which not all people are necessarily equal, but at least have the ability to achieve as much as any other member of society?

To me these are the three starting questions which inevitably will lead to sub discussions and so on which would address the entirety of this matter.
