The Thing.

[IRISH INTENSIFIES]

If you would kindly.

Guinness is a stout, I believe (though correct me if I'm wrong)


_{Yes, I know it's stereotype-y.}

Why did you stop at 100? All of the experience you get after level 100 is a waste. If you go to the "Stats/Awards" screen, you can press "X" to Re-up, which will set you back to level 1 but it will be colored green, and you get an achievement for it and unlock some things in the game. You can re-up three times and level 400 is the max level. I am Level 163 right now.

To re-up, you need to have the DLC (of which I have none).

None. Still Pale Irish is my only bungie account, as I've never really needed another one.

Once you get into a relationship, it is like a drug. I felt content. It's also a nice confidence boost (at least for me, anyway). I was happy that I made them happy.


Before I made no effort to try to be in a relationship, mostly tried to avoid it. Now, I least feel I'd be more inclined to act on if I had a crush or whatever.

How often do you play?

I used to play almost daily until I got to 100, now I play when I'm bored, but I'm happy to play "on request". Kinda depends on the timings though, what with UK and US being vastly out of sync.

I couldn't agree more.

I at no stage said to forgive either side for what has occurred. My role has always been devil's advocate. To show the other side of the coin/story. The truths and realities that people ignore because it simply doesn't suit their opinion.

You may be playing devil's advocate, but it comes across as very pro-Israel.


I think we can agree, both are bastards.

Just a quick note, I'm playing GoW 3 right now so message me there if you wanna play for a while.

It would be total chance. Say if Cheat, the mods, and the top 10 most profound posters were banned, the forum might last 2 weeks minimum with maybe an extra 3-4 weeks depending.


However, if all the Rose alts went, then users who were already banned we might have an extra week or two.


But the Plug.DJ site would stand the test of time.

What were the bloody Jews thinking though... >.>

"Great! We get a country for ourselves! A refuge from the horrors of war and anti-semitism!


Probably.

Um, why the fuck did they pick Uganda then? That's a horrible location. It's densely populated (along with having a large population), small, and it's pretty much an island of (relative) stability in a sea of chaotic countries.

At this point I think Uganda was still a colony of some empirical country (might've been France or Britain, just guessing at this point), and the mindset of the Allies was "fuck the natives, just give these Jews some land (regardless of it's shitty-ness)", as shown by the current location of Israel.Obviously the Jews (or representatives of them) chose the creation of Israel in Palestine for religious reasons, being their SHARED holy land with Muslims and Christians.

I like you, you know your shit.

Thank you, I had to do an essay on Intentionalism VS Structuralism for History A Level coursework. I wouldn't be getting (hopefully) an A in it if I didn't.

1984 - George Orwell
Dark Matter - Michelle Paver
Finn Family Moomintroll - Tove Jansson (A childhood favourite)
Several fiction series done by Clive Cussler


Mostly I read factual books, so Max Arthur's Forgotten Voices of WWI & II, Steven Ambrose's historical accounts of D-Day and Pegasus bridge and Michael Herr's Dispatches about the Vietnam War I find interesting to read.


Currently reading a few books at once, I've got Citizen Soldiers to finish (Steven Ambrose), Clive Cussler's "Arctic Drift", and a collection of Sir Ian Fleming's Sherlock to go through.

SuperIrish: red or dead?

I'm gonna phone a friend for this one, Baconshelf:

I don't get why they didn't just let them A) return to their homes in Europe or B) give them a little patch of land in America, the Americas literally worship the Jews and it would have kept the middle east calm and not lead to a genocide of a people who have never harmed anyone, the Palestinians never even had an army for fucks sake.

Plan A would be a terrible idea. Europe didn't want them. Germany definitely couldn't have any back (and they had the largest refugees as they had been kicked out since 1934 onwards) as the population would be still brainwashed under Hitler (the rare few war veterans who grew up in Hitler's Germany still are today in some cases), half of it was under control of the Russians, and much of it was bombed out.


Plan B at the time was also a bad idea. The US had already accepted a few thousand refugees in the years leading up to WW2, and were largely as anti-Semitic as every other country ('cept Germany, obviously). Also, as many were German as mentioned earlier, they would be seen as "the enemy" by many, regardless of them being a victim throughout and before the war. A historian's term for this would be "Present-ism" i.e. people back then thought like we do now, which unfortunately is wrong to think.


While today we can say the idea of giving them a Jewish state in their ancient holy lands was probably the worst thing Britain and the UN did, we have the advantage of hindsight to see what happened as a result. I suppose the idea was to give a plot of land for them where they would be out of everyone's way (Everyone = Allies/Superpowers), and who gives a fuck about the natives, especially seeing as Britain owned Palestine at the time.


EDIT:
My personal suggestion for the present day's situation (as Israelis aren't going to just pack up and leave to America) would be to


A: Return the lost lands to the surrounding Arab countries, that means returning the Sinai Desert buffer zone in the south, Golan Heights in the north, and the other parts Lebanon and Jordan are owed, say pre 1967 borders.


B: Would be to merge Gaza, West Bank and Israel into one state, rename the new state a completely new name (No Palestine or Israel, with new name to be discussed by representatives of the 3 involved parties).


...aaaaand finally C: Re-distribution of people across the new state, and vote in a new democratic government under similar methods as Lebanon has (where seats and roles are given by proportionality of the religions in the state, e.g. ~47% seats would be Jewish, ~25% would be Sunni muslims, ~25% would be Shia muslims, 3% would be Allawhites and/or other minority religions in the region)._{(Those percentages were made up, but you get the point)}
