[Eli]

Um is the abbreviation for United Nations in Hebrew.

Huh? Arizona used to be part of Mexico....

And to G-man (and Eli):

I share a lot of the same sentiments about the UN--it seems to be a "tyranny of the majority" more than a governing body based on principle. But take heart--without the US, they're irrelevant... and the US is your friend.

Yeah no one says anything about China taking Tibet, either. And that TOO was after the UN's founding....

I say the agreement on the partition of Palestine was made null and void the second Arab troops walked into your part of the partition, intending to "drive you into the sea". Oh well they lost later? TOO bad. Once a treaty is violated by EITHER party, it becomes null and void (at least its protections for the violator)--and the Arabs originally violated it when it used the Palestinians as pawns. And anyone reasonable would see that if Israel gave up the main base of old Arab attacks, the West Bank (Samaria), then Israel would be almost divided in two and quite vulnerable.

I guess the last few days my heart's grown pretty callous to the Palestinians--dancing in the streets INDEED--well by celebrating the WTC attack they've damned their cause in my book.... I don't care WHAT you do with them now.

The Palestinians may have been used by the Arabs as a political tennis ball, but they LET themselves be used that way....

P.S. G-man, another "Hebrew lesson" for me--what does "Um Shmum" mean?

Thank you too. Now I know surely what kind of
(censored because I dont want to get banned) americans are.

Juize - the only time I edited a message not immidietly after I posted it was on the "Cumulative Geography Quiz #3" topic. So again you say things without checking... You're not a mis informed kid, you're a not-informed at all kid. You said a LOT of stupid things and can't proove them, even with unreliable sources.

 

[Graeme the mad]

Okay, okay maybe not arizona but some part of the US

Please someone who hyas more time than me find out, i feel stupid (because I am) but know it is true that some state is owned by Britain

Ermmm, what is juize on?

"You guys arent still letting the angry little boy anger you are you?"

I'm not angry--I'm actually quite amused!

 

[G-Man]

He's kinda like a tennis ball - the harder you hit him, the faster he'll come back for more

 

[Graeme the mad]

tennis balls dont work quite like that G-man but I see what u mean

Now ne one gonna tell me which part of the US britain owns

 

[allan]

I wasn't aware the British "owned" any part--a certain war settled that issue, and we didn't take over any part of Canada afterward either.... So I give up. The Virgin Islands?

 

[Graeme the mad]

No, no, no you dont understand

I dont know what it is but I think it may be somehting to do with the 1811 war and the treaty for that that means that some state was never given to the US formally so techinically is still owned by britain - i wnat someone to find what it is but im thick and dont know

 

[G-Man]

What does it matter? It's not like Blair will try to make US citizens pay taxes to Britain.
