Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?

If you were a member of a family murdered in this conflict, would you be seeking revenge?

Should Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert, be tried for war crimes if or when this conflict comes to an end?

What will the price of oil be in 4 weeks time?

Fahel, you're a racist **** with not the slightest scrap of decency.

Save your cut and paste filth for whoever you mix with who finds this sort of thing funny.

Your ignorance really seems to know no bounds. And your morals are so pitifully lacking that I'll bet you don't even know what you've done wrong.

Goodbye.

i could make an even worse "joke" than that, but i dare not

i suppose fahel's "joke" had to be edited out, but i confess i thought it rather witty, but then i enjoy gallows humour

fahel,

although I will tolerate freedom of speech, I have edited your last comments, as it would be viewed as offensive.

Gausie,

I have also edited one word from your post, which I will not allow on the boards.



All,

Discussion on this thread is fine, if it gets personal or offensive to any individual or group, we will take action where and when we deem fit.

Ian

calm down Gausie; you'll give yourself apoplexy

And some of you on this thread think the Israelis are the bad ones, huh?
This is what they have to deal with all the time - it's the mentality and hatred of Hamas, Hizbollah and the rest (NOT all Arabs, NOT all Muslims).
It's the attitude supported by the liberal left "useful idiots" like fred and maybe haymaker.

Very well done, admin.

so where do i fall? ..... in the gap where the red sea parted? :-)

Ian - Your response is weak, wet and indecisive.

Fahel has posted illegal racist filth on here time and time again, ever since his name first appeared on these boards, and will continue so to do. You risk the entire MAM business by not banning him. Check with Mike.

Cynic - maybe you find that sort of humour amusing. Maybe you don't have close family still traumatised by their time in the concentration camps.

Lets get back to recipes.

A rabbi, a minister, and a priest were playing poker when the police raided the game.

Turning to the priest, the lead police officer said, "Father Murphy, were you gambling?"

Turning his eyes to heaven, the priest whispered, "L*rd, forgive me for what I am about to do." To the police officer, he then said, "No, officer; I was not gambling."

The officer then asked the minister, "Pastor Johnson, were you gambling?"

Again, after an appeal to heaven, the minister replied, "No, officer; I was not gambling."

Turning to the rabbi, the officer again asked, "Rabbi Goldstein, were you gambling?"

Shrugging his shoulders, the rabbi replied, "With whom?"

Gausie - a good number of my relatives were shot in poland or died in the camps, and a couple of them also survived the camps ..... i also went to Belsen last year, and let's just say that was "interesting", though i am very glad that i went.


anyway, enough of this serious emotional stuff ..... let me know when you need another fish recipe

My relatives suffer from guilt by omission

They were told what was happening but couldnt believe it

They stayed in the comfort of their own home on this side of the channel
and did nothing until it was virtually too late

Gausie; Ian was decisive, he edited and removed two posts by Fahel and removed an offensive swear word by you. If Ian had been indecisive he would have left all posts unedited. Ian took the trouble of informing me of his actions which I whole heartedly accepted and agreed on.

We do not sit here as judge and jury. We sit here as moderators and tread a fine line between decency and freedom of speech.

As an 'old timer' on the BB's you should know by now not to get wound up by 'idiots' !!!

Well I have my own family history but didn't blink a eyelid over Fahel's "joke." Actually surprised it has been edited. I am sure there has been a lot worse posted on here dressed up as serious comment.

.

better - the devil has all the best lines

Cynic.

"who loudly vent their rabid prejudices and who, most unfortunately, drag a goodly number of the great unwashed with them"

Can you refer me to where I can read or vent my "rabid prejudices".

At the moment, I think you are advertising your own against any view at difference with your own.

did i point a finger?
i think not, but if the cap fits, wear it

People who embolden their text are trying to draw attention to themselves because.....errr.......no-one takes any notice of them.

Of course most members of the discredited Labour government are bewildered and asking what they did wrong.........as did many of the defendants at Nuremburg....

Now fred/nick, I am not calling you a dog because a dog is man's best friend and you are certainly not that to anyone, but, does a rabid dog know it's rabid?

bad boy itlb - rotfl!

Cynic, I thought that is what you were insinuating.

If I am wrong, fine, otherwise re-read my posting and inform me.

Like you, many of my wife's extended family were killed during the 40s.

But the crimes committed against humanity were then, and we should have learnt not repeat the actions against other groups of "individuals".

Have a nice day.

Thank you, cynic, sir :)

Someone has started a new recipe thread, folks.
Bit of a long winded title,
"This is a new Thread for those interested in the Vagaries of the Arab Israeli Culinary Tradition and its Potential for People to come Together" ,
but it's the gastronomy that matters.
