schestowitzAlas, can't recall it nowSep 05 16:56
FurnaceBoywellSep 05 16:56

schestowitzOr that Semite=Hebrew=Jewish=IsraelSep 05 17:23

schestowitzThat Bush regime=hawk/power-hungry, disparity wrt to electing population, even despite brainwashSep 05 17:24
schestowitzThe whole Jihad/expansionism/white supremacy/zionism BS is used when you want to collectively dismiss groupsSep 05 17:25
schestowitzLike say that _ALL_ Muslims/Arabs want Sharia lawSep 05 17:25
schestowitzWhen in fact many are moderates who treat women equallySep 05 17:26
schestowitzThe last thing they would want is return to barbarism (which Sharia isn't, that's another story)Sep 05 17:26

FurnaceBoyschestowitz | Basically the notion that US citizen=support war is Iraq is largely debunked <-- long ago, I'd have thoughtSep 05 17:28
FurnaceBoybut,Sep 05 17:29
FurnaceBoyinitially they didSep 05 17:29
FurnaceBoythe great majority didSep 05 17:29
FurnaceBoythis is true nowhere else but israelSep 05 17:30
FurnaceBoyand if not for the recession, probably a majority still wouldSep 05 17:30
schestowitzFurnaceBoy: Would what?Sep 05 17:34
schestowitzI'm not followingSep 05 17:34
schestowitzThe enlightened world is usually self-critical; it's usually when brutes take power that they imprison, prosecute, drive away, silence or evil kill those who dare to question 'their' country (their books too may later be burned, i.e. silencing/elimination of one's past too)Sep 05 17:36
schestowitzRemember how the dark ages suppressed rather than rewarded some progressSep 05 17:37
FurnaceBoyschestowitz: if not for the recession a majority would probably still support the iraq war.Sep 05 17:43
FurnaceBoyschestowitz: never underestimate the profound confusion down thereSep 05 17:44
FurnaceBoyschestowitz: on another note, Arianna's editorials are getting more and more offensiveSep 05 17:44
FurnaceBoyshe's going on a book tourSep 05 17:44
FurnaceBoyi don't think this will endear herself to the victims of economic warfareSep 05 17:45
schestowitzShe can get PRSep 05 17:45
FurnaceBoythey don't exactly need a book to tell them they're borderline homeless, and unemployedSep 05 17:45

schestowitzFurnaceBoy: where will that position Arianna?Sep 05 17:50
schestowitzLike Gates and schools...Sep 05 17:50
FurnaceBoyArianna will never risk her 'position'.Sep 05 17:50
FurnaceBoyever.Sep 05 17:50

FurnaceBoythat's the curious thing about these people. they never change.Sep 05 17:50

FurnaceBoymaybe it's what GOre VIdal meant when he said, 'there are no second Acts in American lives.'Sep 05 17:50
FurnaceBoyI am increasingly uncomfortable with Arianna's role in all this.Sep 05 17:57
FurnaceBoyshe's looking more and more like a Marie-AntoinetteSep 05 17:57
FurnaceBoyi'm not sure this fence will bear the weight of her sitting on it much longerSep 05 17:58
schestowitzI don't think she is the main problemSep 05 17:59
schestowitzI play along with you on it, but she's a facilitator more than a conspiratorSep 05 17:59
schestowitzShe's far less of a vehicle than big media companiesSep 05 17:59
FurnaceBoyshe's not the main problem, but her role is increasingly insupportableSep 05 18:01
FurnaceBoyright now, she's getting away with itSep 05 18:01
FurnaceBoybut this Third World AMerica business crosses the lineSep 05 18:01
FurnaceBoyhere's another angleSep 05 18:02
FurnaceBoythe idea is supposedly to act as facilitator, yes.Sep 05 18:02
FurnaceBoyas a catalyst for change.. like obama..Sep 05 18:02
FurnaceBoyit's all very familiarSep 05 18:02
FurnaceBoybut the problem isSep 05 18:02
FurnaceBoywhy AriannaSep 05 18:02
schestowitzBut what's her motive?Sep 05 18:02
FurnaceBoyit's like: Education Minister - why Bill?Sep 05 18:02
schestowitzI'm sure she's trying to helpSep 05 18:02
schestowitzShe thinks she doesSep 05 18:03
schestowitzGates does tooSep 05 18:03
FurnaceBoyyes, she thinks she does. most dangerous kind.Sep 05 18:03
