  1. It makes up for my inartful and racist depiction of the historical underpinnings of conflicts in the Middle East.
  2. Did you really need to put that song in my head on loop this morning?
  3. Yes. And to put it more bluntly, when you look at the photos of Gaza's destruction, there is a fair amount of blood on America's hands. We can't just point the finger at Bibi or Hamas.
  4. Okay, that seems different than the comment I was asking about, but yes, I do understand and completely agree with that.
  5. Okay, help me out on this one. Western views on the history of Arab/Israeli conflict is the number one reason for Arab/Israeli violence? Like, if Western thought on that history was more accurate as you advocate, there would be no conflict? Serious question, as I do and have appreciated your posts on this thread.
  6. I haven't lived in South Austin since 2006. And apparently I'm not supposed to talk about South Austin on this thread.
  7. I appreciate your post, and that my response was grossly oversimplified and does not recognize, as you point out, periods of peaceful coexistence. But I still can't help but think that there will be Palestinians who survived the destruction of Gaza and who will seek violent retribution against Israel. And I don't think I'm alone or unreasonable for thinking that.
  8. One might shatter and hit his ear.
  9. Might as well invade Greenland now.
  10. And, of course, there's the obvious centuries of religious and turf wars between Arabs and Jews already in the Palestinian DNA. This ceasefire ain't doing shit, certainly not in the long term, when the next generations of Arabs who lived through or watched Gaza get completely obliterated will make revenge against Israel their lives' mission.
  11. Will we get more bike lanes?
  12. They trying to burn down another hotel?
  13. Do Surly threads count?
  14. This morning I was praying and saw the Texas offensive line give up no sacks against OU.
  15. They all suck and belong on the same stage together.
  16. Lee Greenwood + Creed + Kid Rock + Dave Matthew’s Band.
  17. Negged and reported for not breaking this up into separate paragraphs.
  18. Damn, that stroke has done a number on him.
  19. My eighth-grade English teacher was named Stebbings and she gave me a C for my last quarter. Bitch.
  20. Picture of masculinity and security with his sexual identity.
