    Depends what side you are on, probably - over a thousand Palestinians released, some of whom had been "Prisoners of war" for over 20 years? Is that humanitarian too?

        put all political, religious, and controversial posts in the Soapbox or Backroom. It has saved me a lot of grief. It is very, very easy to turn things into a flame war over certain subject matter. Just a thought. :)

            Ah I see, the release of those you like is humanitarian, the release of those you don't is political.

            Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

              Not true. Is deporting a 60 year old away from his family humanitarian? No it is political (read through to some cases in there).

                I don't think you understand. Your main post should not be in the Lounge. It should be in the Soapbox, Backroom, or don't post it. It's that simple. ;)

                    I don't see anything religious here. It is a case of natives fighting for their occupied lands against the occupiers.

                      I wish that whole Middle Eastern thing could be solved equitably and peacefully for everyone. I think it will take much humility and swallowing of pride on all sides to do so. Probably not in my lifetime, nor in my grandchildren's grandchildren's lifetimes.

                        You can not control how a thread lives. The rule is there because people take topics and spin off. If the topic is at all related to politics religion etc. then the probability of it leaning even more towards it is quite high. This causes flame wars because we are a large community of all different types.

                        Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

                              Agreed, all it takes is for people to realise that this little planet is all we have and that belief in a cosmic pixie is no reason to kill each other.

                                        Was waiting for this move to answer this one. Religion is an excuse for both sides in this case. It is the opium to the masses. By the way the IDF soldier is far from religious. The real reason is territorial and cultural. Democracy (as an ideal) vs Autocracy (as an ideal with its derivatives from religion to pure power trip). Now I have a hard question here. What does one call the first and second Gulf war? Here is what I call it: One set of murderous greedy for oil zealots who hate the other lot of murderous greedy for oil zealots went to war and then one with better weapons won and flattened a while country. And then send its banks to restructure it. Now I am off to put my helmet on because here it goes. ;P

                                          Agreed, all it takes is for people to realise that this little planet is all we have and that belief in a cosmic pixie is no reason to kill each other.

                                          I agree. Even though I believe in a "cosmic pixie" as you put it. I think He's very often displeased with how we treat each other. +5 to counter the univotes.

                                          You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering” - Wernher von Braun
