The future is with the Palestinians. Your women don’t produce enough babies to compete with them.
There is some truth to this. To their detriment, Christain Syrians and Lebanese had the same problems.
That’s what happens when the capital stock in Israel is falling, and that of Palestine is increasing. It has nothing at all to do with ‘culture’ and such BS.
“The future is with the Palestinians. Your women don’t produce enough babies to compete with them. The days of zionists are numbered. That’s why you’ve become increasingly violent over the years. It’s a losing battle, you’d be better served trying to go elsewhere. Like Europe or the US. Youve created too much bad blood in Palestine and the end result won’t be pretty.”
We shall see. I think we’ll be fine. I do think there will be war though. That’s why it’s imperative to get a Republican in the White House and a majority of Republicans in the Congress although the Dems aren’t as Dovish when push comes to shove as they like to say they are.
The other thing you’re implicitly assuming is that this will be a ground war, but I think it will be mostly an air war with drones bombing civilian populations.
but I think it will be mostly an air war with drones bombing civilian populations.<<
don’t respond! its a TRAP !!!
It’s only a trap if you get angry instead of thinking about the direction war has been going. Ground wars don’t make sense anymore. Now we have unmanned aircraft that can drop bombs on people. It just makes sense that they would be used. Now, if it’s just the Palestinians and no one else wants to fight, that strategy probably wouldn’t be necessary. If Syria, Lebanon, Turkey and Iran want to fight, I don’t think it will be done purely with ground forces.
I thought wars were fought between armies, or at least combatants of one stripe on another.
a military bombarding civilians is something else surely?
"I thought wars were fought between armies, or at least combatants of one stripe on another.

It’s just total war.
"Total war is a war limitless in its scope in which a belligerent engages in the mobilization of all their available resources, in order to render beyond use their rival’s capacity for resistance.
The practice of total war has been in use for centuries, but it was only in the middle to late 19th century that total war was identified by scholars as a separate class of warfare. In a total war, there is less and sometimes no differentiation between combatants and non-combatants (civilians) than in other conflicts, as nearly every human resource, civilians and soldiers alike, can be considered to be part of the belligerent effort.[1](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_war#cite_note-0)"

"Grim Reaper is what it is sometimes called. The medium- to high-altitude aircraft can carry up to 14 Hellfire missiles — seven times more than its predecessor, the Predator. The Reaper’s main mission is to “hunt and kill,” but the pilots operate the craft from the safety of this air base in Indian Springs, Nev…
Currently, there are 31 MQ-1 Predators and three MQ-9 Reapers flying combat air patrols, said Col. Christopher R. Chambliss, commander of the 432nd Wing and 432nd Air Expeditionary Wing, at Creech.
He said that more combat air patrols are needed and that there are not enough to meet the demands of commanders in the field.
Col. Chambliss said the Air Force is planning on adding 19 remotely piloted combat air patrols, for a total of 50 by 2011."

fun with words!
Israel isn’t just any state. It is a colonial state, a mini-empire. That is worse than a regular national state.
Bloom, I fail to see how anything you believe is anywhere close to the Austrian school of economics.
Israel is socialist and anti-private property; probably more so than any industrial nation. On the other hand, it holds no economic principle consistent for all its citizens. As some Jews are second class and economically exploited citizens (Sephardim), even, and the society is far from even equal. Meaning there are no redeeming features. There is no free press or anything close to the bill of rights. There is certainly no concept of the free market. Israel is a lost cause from any ideology other than religious fanaticism. Or for those who wish to exploit this country’s hold in order to advance the US’s control of oil in the middle-east.
You claim to be a fan of the Federal Reserve
You reject rational epistemology. (I don’t even know why you bother writing anything…)
You’re gladly for taxation and centralization of power, even more extreme than any liberal or conservative. Meaning above the nation-state level.
You do not believe in peaceful exchange, but the myth of war of all against all and polylogism. Meaning there is no way you could believe a free rather than command economy is ever possible.
You have a collectivist rather than individualist position on virtually every subject.
Your support for war, far from being compatible with Israel or the Republicans, seems 100 times even more extreme and shameless than either. I have heard neither call deliberately for the mass murder of women and children (except a minority extremist element). And here you are calling for it like a regular Moses Maimonides-wannabe.
I hold your observation as well and I have only been browsing the forums section of this website for perhaps 3 weeks. Optimistically, he could be a CIA agent provocateur. Pessimistically, he may actually enjoy the taste of State Kool-aid; though, I suppose I repeat myself.
First of all, I think you’re getting Austrian econ confused with libertarianism.
I am certainly no libertarian and I don’t really care about philosophy.
I don’t really care about labels, you can call me whatever you want. I do vote Republican exclusively though. Does that make me a Republican? Who cares? They don’t. They’re happy to get my vote. I don’t care about being compatible with a party or any ideology. I don’t care about being labeled extreme. If I actually run for office someday, I’ll tell people what they want to hear. But I’m not running for office.
I actually think of myself as a Jiu Jitsu fighter who applies Jiu Jitsu principles to all parts of my life. One of the rules of Jiu Jitsu is: don’t impose rules on yourself, play the game any way you are allowed to.
To clear something up, I’m not calling for mass murder of anyone, I’m just saying it’s an option, it’s on the table. Like any intelligent fighter, I don’t dismiss any options. I always place everything on the table. Will that be the final course that’s taken? That’s not even my call but it very well may be.
The Fed, taxation, centralization of power, they’re just tools. I don’t place moral judgment on any tool I just see them as means to ends.
I think Bloom comes up short intellectually basing every singe value judgement in a “now” context. In a world of anarchy it is impossible to overcome a majority of force. So if the argument of the moment is do whatever it takes to win “now” because you have the majority of force “now”, you will win today.
However Bloom comes up short because winning today does not mean you will have a majority of force tomorrow. This is what is going on in the world right now, typical majorities of force are being threatented and at risk of becomming a minority of force.
If Bloom was in charge the only way he could win today would be killing all who oppose the present majority of force but there is no way to do that and retain a majority of force.
“This is what is going on in the world right now, typical majorities of force are being threatented and at risk of becomming a minority of force.”
Where is this happening?
As some Jews are second class and economically exploited citizens (Sephardim), even, and the society is far from even equal. Meaning there are no >>redeeming features. There is no free press or anything close to the bill of rights.
ok, brief fact check here, withholding interpretation and judgement.
on your mention of bill of rights: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Law:Human_Dignity_and_Liberty(Israel)
I don’t know what you are referring to regarding ‘absence of free press’… and I’m not sure how to address your plea for egalitarianism, (its a revolt against nature isn’t it?)
Government collapsed in Iceland
People in Greece have been rioting
Militias and Tea Parties are growing in the United States.
Public discontent in Russia.
Mass protest in Latavia.
Strikes in France.
Drug violence in Mexico.
The list goes on, there is a lot of economic unrest in the world.
I don’t know enough to say anything about the other countries, but I’m pretty sure the tea party isn’t for anarchy. In fact, they’re really not even for limited government tbh.
I agree with your observation. I am not making a claim anything I posted represents a belief for anarchy. I am claiming there is a lot of economic unrest in the world right now that is manifesting in a lot of ways. I am claiming this tide of economic unrest does pose a potential threat to a traditional majority of force. I think the jury is still out on where all of the chips are going to fall.
At present I do not envision economic unrest disspating anytime soon. Do you?
“I am claiming this tide of economic unrest does pose a potential threat to a traditional majority of force.”
Lol, not too many people are talking revolution as far as I know.
“At present I do not envision economic unrest dissipating anytime soon. Do you?”
No.
Not yet, but historically unrest usually occurs first.
