indeed, passion is all we need in life, para - but what is that to do with this thread?
ahem... I didn't watch that Christian porn/gore fest.
The impression I got from the shite I was reading at the weekend was that these accusations were 'revenge' for the Passion, which is why I'd like to see a police report or something.
Well, I would if I actually cared - I just didn't want to be party to the internet rumour mill and splurge out whatever it told me someone else might've possibly said.
I've still not forgiven him for Hamlet.

see: nietzsche, resentment culture
just because there's an imbalance doesn't mean that we should institutionalise racism. and just because israel is a nation doesn't mean that judaism isn't also a race and a religion. anti-nationalist sentiment is fine, in my book, because it's a criticism of policy. racism is simple bigotry, so i don't think you can compare slagging the french to slagging jews.
imho.

There is a difference between race and nationality. Opposing the poilicies of Israel is different to opposing the jews.
Obviosuly, Zionsism make this a bit more confusing,

Mel IS God. He can rightly decide which sect he's hating on this week, they are all his children.

I can't beleive there is this hoo-har about a drunk aussie shooting his mouth off about something he knows nothing about.
Go to the 'walkabout' in london every night of the week and you will see that kind of behaviour in spades.

launched! that was the word i was looking for, who hasn't LAUNCHED into a drunken tirade.
- paraselene0
ima launch you out of a cannon, kuz.

para, bottlerocket - I see the point and agree on the race - something inbred should not be ridculed. Religion is a matter of choice (if we're talking adults) and people's choices are not immune to criticism in my book.
So anyway, had Mel mentioned "Israelis" would that've been a legit political comment?
- KuzII0
ah i was only joking. c'mon, do we really need to use the "//"?
- rafalski0
sham-poo juggling! it's tricky, can't touch your hippy dreadlocks!
- KuzII0
and the only peple i've railed against whilst drunk are negroes and midgets.
- paraselene0
ha. did you think i was seriously threatening to launch you out of a cannon?
:P
rafalski, yeah, i think it would have been more appropriate to complain about israel, if the nation-state is what the man has a problem with. however, i reckon he has more of a problem with the race of people rather than the political entity.
it's tricky, though. the conflation of race, religion and nation when it comes to judaism is probably why middle eastern politics have gotten so fucked up.

"I see the point and agree on the race - something inbred should not be ridculed."
:O
I'm sure that's not the way you meant it, right?
lol, kuz - I can just see you sitting there, manic glint in eyes, stirring - always stirring.
