Because 60 years of almost ceaseless wars have proven effective so far? Just 'stay the course' and eventually we'll get there!Originally Posted by Kuya

I'm sorry, did i mention war anywhere, Correction? Or where you just looking for an appropriate time to post that?Originally Posted by Correction
It's either war or peace... there won't be any in-between because both sides are stubborn as fuck.
Well we sure as hell have seen that the power of hate and war hasn't helped the situation.Originally Posted by Kuya
I'm not sure what the problem is with looking at it from a peaceful angle.
I'm not trying to stop a war... I don't have the influence to do that. All I can do is try to change one person's mind to not support this cycle, and I don't even have a good chance at that.

Well I apologize for trying to make an actual point
A point that has been made more times than anyone can count. The easiest method would be if they all suddenly decided that what they were doing was pointless and decided to make peace. But these things never did end in such a way, and they won't now. We're living in the real world, and in the real world people don't just forget years of bloodshed, marginalization, and torment and suddenly decide to be best friends.Originally Posted by Maxxthepenguin
Well aren't we overly pessimistic? I personally don't get a chance to get to talk to people like Firas often, or at least not in situations where it's good to bring it up. As a matter of fact, people don't tend to listen to each other. Maybe he'll think about what I say, maybe not, but stop trying to stop me from bringing some goodness into this world or at least understanding what's wrong with it.
I'm not sure what your problem with it is.
I'm sorry Maxx, you're right, i don't have to attack you for it, even if i do think it's empty idealism. However:
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAstop trying to stop me from bringing some goodness into this world
So what's the point of what you're doing again?
The point was to critique unrealistic ideas, obviously.
So it's unrealistic to introduce thoughts into one person's mind?
And what's the harm in me trying?

First of all, you're not going to introduce anything into anyone's head if they don't see what you're saying to be possible. So in essence, you're wasting you're time as no muslim will listen to that and say: "You know what? I never thought of that before, i think i'm going to go kiss and make up". Second, you don't understand what they're going through, any of them, and before you even mention the fact that you're jewish, you should note that A: You weren't in the holocaust, and B: you don't live in Isreal. So it's easier sead than done for someone who is not personaly involved in any of this.
So you can go ahead and say it, and ignore me if you like. Like i sead, i don't have to attack you, but it doesn't mean i won't. If it burdens your soul so very much to have your ideas/methods criticized then i suggest you turn off the internet.
And somehow you do know.
Amazing.
Thanks for ruining the thread and making discussion and sharing of ideas pointless.
When your ideals approach that of a 5 year old, or some grown man with a overly inflated sense of self rightiousness with a very close minded and poor perception of reality, then the sharing of sead ideas was pointless to begin with. This thread was ruined the moment people starting voicing their opinions as this is a delicate subject. Get the fuck over it.

You are saying that on the internet a thread shouldn't have opinions?
Come on
You are freaking useless and are adding nothing to this
yeah, im with kuya. this thread was over the moment people started introducing the bullshit elements of a "debate," w/e the fuck that is, so take your little girl attitude to another thread maxx jeez. here try this one viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14142Originally Posted by Kuya
Sheer irony.You are freaking useless and are adding nothing to this
So Maxx, i'll humor you. How much about this whole Middle East conflict do you know about? And according to that, how did you come to the conclusion you currently have?
What do you think my conclusion is again? I'm confused what you think I think lol
I presume you understand the situation and the history behind it, because it would make no sense for someone who is uninformed to be tossing out "advice". So i assume your point of view is based on something. Right?Originally Posted by Maxxthepenguin
