!The concept of sex in movies already reached its peak with Porky’s, and any attempts to improve on that are just embarrassing.!<

No number of rights make a wrong and no number of wrongs make a right. That's not to suggest that there aren't generations of all of us that have made the best of what they could do. You have to hold to the ideal. It's incredibly popular to shit on everything because it's the internet.

The words worth fighting and dying for: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Not my intent. I made an edit to address that.

I don't disagree with you if that extends beyond borders. External forces seem to dictate what happens there.

I'm very saddened to hear about the death of this young woman. I'm also sad to hear about deaths of many, many Palestinians. I do not think it's coincidence that Hamas decides to launch a major offensive in the midst of talks with between Saudi Arabia and Israel to normalize relations between the two after many years of relative peace. We can't have peace in the Middle East because it doesn't serve the ends to the major regional powers.

Both sides in this conflict are used as pawns for the political ends of others. Innocent people are those that get caught in the midst of it all. Hamas didn't do this without a green light so as much vitriol being spilled in this thread we have to take a step back. These fights have been brewing and going on for generations. If you take the short term view much of the strife we see today is the fallout from WWII and that is used as leverage by other nefarious parties.

It's not the Israeli people's fault they do not have a home. It's not the Palestinian people's fault they do not have a home.

Some of the comments in this thread are sickening, hateful, narrow, and short-sighted.

Lotta stupid discussions on the internet

Oh, well, hello fellow sophisticants. Sorry, I was referring to someone else.

I wish more of us gave each other the benefit of the doubt. I refuse to believe most people are assholes... only some. Don't let the few dominate your thoughts.

Objection your honor, conjecture.

Oh shit, my bad this is the court of public opinion.

We must start holding our politicians accountable.

Desperate for cash. The free money (low interest rates) is drying up and the modern mantra of business in America is sustained growth for all eternity so they got to squeeze everything until it pops.
