We stole our land here from the ab-originals too, like you folks did, but we did not go through all that war for independence crap.<br />When we had a referendum here to divorce ourselves more completely from the English monarchy and become a "republic", there were more people in England who supported the move than there were here in Australia! The bloodless referendum failed (the proposal was badly framed, in fact), and we still have a queen.<br /><br />It might be worth noting that we don't do much patriotic flag-waving or religiosity here on this patch of dirt, despite much social-engineering invested over the past 10 years to duplicate the American Way.<br />Our current Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, is an atheist. <br /><br />So let me address your questions indirectly with some counter-questions:<br /><br /><br />1. Would George Washington use violence to give birth to a new oppressive government?<br /><br />2. Would Thomas Jefferson approve of watering the tree of "liberty" (a nation with the highest incarceration rate one earth) with the blood of Iraqis?<br /><br />3. Did the Russians use violence to put millions of Russian peasants to death?<br /><br />4. Do the good victors always leave history with a justification for their glorious violence over bad people?<br /><br />5. Was life better during the "Reign of Terror" by the French lawyer Robespierre, and is there any evidence at all that Antoinette said "let them eat cake"?<br /><br /><br />I wish that instead of focusing on my disapproval of violence, you had noted instead the cutter charge detonating so clearly on a perimeter column at WTC, included in my same post to which you replied.<br /><br />thanks anyhow,<br />AlreadyPublishedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458769664127453136.post-3589834768519246132010-09-17T19:28:59.127-04:002010-09-17T19:28:59.127-04:00kosher new york,
...and I respect your beliefs. ...kosher new york,<br /><br />...and I respect your beliefs. I feel it is my duty, and consistent with what I claim to stand for - to challenge those beliefs - and my own as well.<br /><br />I DO change my stance when argument (I use the word "argument" meaning a hearty no-holds-barred-debate) convinces me that my previously-held position meets one more consistent with reality.<br /><br />I know I throw some hot-headed stuff out there - I suppose I've developed a thick skin as a blogger. Sometimes I forget that I'm debating folks who are not at that point.<br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to comment and share your opinions - that is what this blog is all about. You are one of the few passionate enough - who actually care - to put a challenge up there.<br /><br />Please don't ever stop.<br /><br />JRJack Rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03993964545901934731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458769664127453136.post-65737223566393056582010-09-16T19:21:37.815-04:002010-09-16T19:21:37.815-04:00"Anything other than "WHAT?," rabbi..."Anything other than "WHAT?," rabbit?<br />Is non-religious violence kosher?"<br /><br />well i do still believe since they do promote anti-violence and they are stick to their religion rules and policy.

The Christ i..."He took a bullet for us."<br /><br />The Christ imagery is unmistakable, and absolutely nauseating.<br /><br />He didn't take no fucking bullet for me. I'd like to claim -having delivered it.<br /><br />I rather think -like the stupid Polish Pope, JFK took a bullet for his aspiration to be something more than he really was, -immortal -a god -superhuman... Who can know? Why should anyone care?<br /><br />The unfailing folly, is that some continue to believe in him and the lies surrounding his phony commemoration.<br /><br />If they shot Obama right now, history would point him as a saint too. Bull-fucking-shit.<br /><br />The man was a dog stricken with Mange. The man was born with a silver-spoon in his mouth and strung-out on Barbiturates his entire adult life. He was summarily unfit for the office he held.<br /><br />I don't believe in any of these asshole pretenders, regardless the votes they get, or the press they receive.<br /><br />Like all presidents, JFK was just a politician.<br /><br />The Popes are all just religious leaders.<br /><br />Their shit stank, and the gas they let loose with -their entire life -emptied rooms, or made rooms that -should have emptied.<br /><br />These people are ALL born liars. They play dress-up. These people are little more than great pretenders.<br /><br />And the people who follow these great pretenders -are all simpletons -polluting the earth with their commemorative-tripe and mental-trash.<br /><br />Life -my dear friend- is too-fucking-short to give these assholes a second thought. Good riddance!<br /><br />There isn't a Kennedy in the world who should draw a second glance, and certainly not this hump-your-leg, flea-bitten, mangy, mutt-dog JFK.<br /><br />That's my best take on the deal.<br /><br />I remember well the day he was shot, well. <br /><br />Since that time, I have learned enough about this liar, to know he was not at all what his worshipers portray him as.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
