New dress code in Iran: Jews and Christians must wear badges

Story here.
In a break with Nazi tradition, no pink triangles for gays...I guess they just go directly to the stonewall stage. (As in "pushing stone wall over on")

It's wonderful...if you have a lot of time and braincells to waste. Otherwise not.

Oh, I'm sorry! I'm sorry I insulted your best friend in the whole universe! If you love her so much, why don't you marry her? Huh? Since you love her so much!

Copycat and Shockey-cat sittin' in a tree . . .

WTF! All I was saying is that it is fine that she double posted this thread, that happens a lot in this place. If you don't like it that she double posted, then fine, thats up to you, just ignore this thread if you don't have anything constructive to add to it, but that doens't make it fine that you start posting here acting like freakin child! GEEZ!

first comes thread-jack then comes marriage


Now I don't know which thread to post my legitimate reply on. I originally thought Flint was accusing the Iranians of copying the Germans, then I actually read his quoted post.

I rmember asking a jewish friend once if the "never again" sentiment extended to any type of genocide or religious persecution and she gave me this incredulous look and said "Of course not, it means never again - to us."

I don't know if she actually speaks for all Jews, I doubt it, but I never followed up on it. It seems to me that never again, but only for us is too little to late and doesn't adress a root problem only a very specific palliative remedy.

It stretches my brain in an uncomfortable way to try to imagine what anyone thinks, really believes they will accomplish with domination, subjugation, and or strong-arming other nations w/ nuclear weapons.

I probably would not have bothered to start a thread if I'd realized there already was one...assuming that one was started first. But I'm not going to open every thread here with a nondescript title just to find out what's in it. Especially since the AG Romper Room arrived

I figure if you can't be bothered to make the subject meaningful, the writing *in* the thread probably isn't very cogent either.

Somehow I don't think the six million dead would have been impressed with your oh-so-principled holding out for a "solution to the root problem".

I hear people start talking about "root causes" when they want to deflect, delay or re-spin more direct action. You know: "Well, you need to look at the root causes here...allow me to sell you a long story about how my politics views the world, etc." Five minutes later you're getting some collectivist "moral equivalance" riff about how it's your fault somebody planted a bomb in your restaurant.

Nonsense.
