Nope, but you do have the right to be a freedom fighter. Answering a question with a question is a very Jewish stereotype BTW.

A fun way to avoid life. Cool answer. Wouldn’t that get a little crowded?

Oh please? This is just getting silly. Can you?

That’s a non sequitur, competition doesn’t equal oppression.

My apologies for this post; A bad mood and excess alcohol isn’t a good combination. Exactly the same thing happened with the ANC.

I think it’s a bit late to throw in with such a vague/ambiguous answer; how do you suggest they do that?

Every such struggle is both the same and different and so every solution is both the same and different; reading the book may give them a direction to follow but won’t necessarily deliver the answer. At the end of the day violence, from either side, won’t bring peace.

Of course they don’t because it doesn’t. ANC’s struggle didn’t seem solvable at the start, hence the title of the book.

What have I lost? I just assumed everyone knew the one about wishing yourself more wishes. It’s just a game, so if it means that much to you, by all means have them.

I only need one wish; for everyone in the world to be content, whatever their lot. So I’d like to sell the other two on Ebay, any offers.

Who thinks Israel’s reaction improves the situation? That just sullies the memory of the great man; read ‘long road to freedom’ or watch the film.

Please see post #134.

“That I was rich and influential” A mischievous Genie would grant that wish but ensure it would bring you only misery. “That I had the power to make any wish I said come true” Sorry that one’s against the rules. “The power to control people using only my mind” That one’s already possible, it’s called marketing. Ten oz and Phi for all, great answers +1.

No they don’t: Nor have I suggested they do, maybe you should go back and read my post’s #125 #127 #132 #167.

Suppose you’re given three wishes, what would they be?

Why would anyone need to use the Jews against the Nazi’s? They committed such atrocities against so many as to render the use moot. The Palestinians, currently, live in an intolerable situation and react in the only way they think they can, does that make them terrorists? Many would say they’re just fighting for their freedom and until you've lived under those conditions; who are you to label them terrorists? Israel is currently in an intolerable situation and react accordingly. Many would say too harshly but they wouldn’t. Who’s using who?

I do see your point and largely agree; all too often the powerful abuse those less so and, as you say, are ignored by the wider/global community, for a variety of reasons. That said, I think, once the world has been spurred into action we should be thankful that at least this time they have decided to act and unite in the condemnation, rather than just say “but what about the last time this happened?”.

The ignorance of a child is understandable; they have yet to be taught. The ignorance of a bully is understandable; they were made that way. The ignorance of the educated is just wilful; that, I don’t understand. Which are you?

Who are the idiots?

This reply just indicates prejudice and that is born of ignorance; they are humans just like all of us. Do you really think they wouldn't welcome peace; given the choice would you rather war?

It’s because that’s the topic of this discussion.

Whatever the material, the energy requirement to achieve the speed of light, at the edge, would be a similar asymptote to that of any other acceleration of matter.

Just because the world has, historically, turned a blind eye to similar annexations, doesn’t mean it should continue to do so.

In a world that currently exceeds 7 billion, and a recent history that throws up just a handful of such people, is it any wonder that a population of just over 4 million, combined, doesn’t produce such a person?

Dimazin, your complete lack of empathy towards your fellow humans perhaps goes a long way to explain why such conflicts continue; in answering your question, it would be an emphatic yes King, Ghandi, Mandela etc. take your pick.
