Democracy

I made this one with Bullet With a Name by Nonpoint to be the music. The video starts off with an awesome quote by General Patton. Pretty self explanatory as our message to all the terrorist out there.

For seven years, Saeed Darwish of Bethlehem has had to apply for an Israeli permit to be able to live in his own home in a part of the city that Israel says is under its jurisdiction.

But a month ago, Israeli authorities decided not to renew his permit, leaving the family’s sole breadwinner stranded.

Now, Darwish must decide whether to stay in his home or go to work and risk being denied permission to return.

How has feminism affected female identity and gender relations? Women today seem to be all over the place when it comes to identity. They want to be taken care of, but they want to be independent. They want POWER, but they don’t want RESPONSIBILITY and the feminists amongst them certainly do not generally project responsible attitudes. They DEMAND respect, but they are not respectful towards men. They want a masculine man, but they don’t want to be a feminine woman. Crazy.

Many dictionaries define feminism as sweetness and light and reasonableness. The feminism organization (NOW) defines itself similarly. (And all feminists have sweet gently-perfumed farts, no doubt.) The feminism cult wears a human mask but peel it away and all you seem to find is naked hate and hypocrisy.

Read any of Erin Pizzey’s books about the way the feminista operates. Erin was a caring and courageous woman who was victimized and had death threat directed against her and her family for standing up to them.
Feminism seems to be a fraud masquerading as truth. It promotes rigidity of mind and stunts the capacity for free independent thought. It is a club or clique which wants to be ‘more equal’ than everyone else and this strong streak of men-hate runs through its very backbone. Many of the ‘moderate’ feminists and the apologists for feminism try to play all this down, this is a fact clearly evident to all but the most blinkered of them.

In fact these ‘moderate’ feminists are not really ‘feminists’ at all. They are more like equalists and they ought to come out in their true colours and bin that feminism label.

Oh, and by the way, I do not believe in gender stereotypes. Men and women are equally capable of doing whatever they feel inspired to do.

Perhaps the answer lies in Equalism. Unlike feminism, equalism is neither gender-based nor gender-biased. Here’s the link to the Equalism homepage

[Vanessa] I hope you get your wish when you are a little older. One of my brothers spent some time out in Uganda last year.

chicks are hot

I have to write an essay about differences between terrorism and genocide and I dont know anything about it…
I need your help!!!

The best place to start as to what is considered a genocide is with UN Resolution 260, passed in 1948. Focus on Articles 1 through Article 4, with the most attention on Article 2. The hrweb.org link will lead you to that resolution.

Now that is the "official" definition of genocide. There are continuous debates between scholars as to what genocide is, exactly. To be honest, I don’t know myself. Episodes since 1900 that are widely accepted as genocide are: The Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire in 1915, The Holocaust in Europe during World War II, The Rwandan Genocide in 1994, and the killings that took place in Yugoslavia during the 1990s.

Simply, genocide is the attempt by one group to eliminate, by killings, another group from a particular area. Hitler wanted the Jews, among many other groups, out of Germany. In Rwanda, the Hutus attempted to kill off all the Tutsis. In Yugoslavia…well different groups attempted to wipe out other groups in their stronghold.

As for Terrorism, I’m am not as knowledgeable. but here is what wikipedia says: Terrorism is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion. There is no internationally agreed definition of terrorism. Most common definitions of terrorism include only those acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to a lone attack), and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants.

Both are attacks against non-combatants (otherwise we’d just call them war) but cases can be made that certain acts made in the name of war could be considered either genocide or terrorism. For instance, I’ve seen arguments that have called the United States bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as one or the other.

Good luck with your essay. I hope this at least gets you going in the right direction.

I am sure they were consisted of at least 30-40 percent of the population of that republic whereas Armenia today is designated as 98% Armenian-pure, according to the CIA Fact Book. Therefore, I am wondering what happened to the Muslim population of Armenia.
It’s not an assumption, but the truth.
It’s not an assumption, but the truth.

I recommend you to read ‘Men Are Like That’

"”An appropriate analogy with the Jewish Holocaust might be the systematic extermination of the entire Muslim population of the independent republic of Armenia which consisted of at least 30-40 percent of the population of that republic. The memoirs of an Armenian army officer who participated in and eye-witnessed these atrocities was published in the U.S. in 1926 with the title ‘Men Are Like That.’ Other references abound.”
Rachel A. Bortnick – The Jewish Times – June 21, 1990."

Only by reading an Armenian confession is enough:

"Confession of a Dashnak in 1918 on his activities in Basar-Kechar region."I killed Muslims by every means possible. Yet it is sometimes a pity to waste bullets for this. The best way is to gather all of these dogs and throw them into wells and then fill the wells with big and heavy stones, as I did. I gathered all of the women, men and children, threw big stones down on top of them. They must never live on this earth."
A. Lalayan, "Revolutsionniy Vostok (Revolutionary East)" No: 2-3, Moscow, 1936. Quoted from Richard Hovannisian, Armenia on the Road to Independence-Berkeley, 1967, p. 41-42."

then North America?

Socialism has a foothold in Central America with the recently re-elected Sandinista government of Nicaragua. In Mexico, the non-violent Zapatista rebellion is gaining increasing influence. I’m optimistic.

Unfortunately, the socialist democratic tide will probably stop at the Rio Grande. America seems to have an ingrained hostility to social justice.

If Free Market Capitalism is allowed to be the dominant economic system throughout the planet, then our gestures to save our planet from climatic disaster are just that, gestures that are totally futile.

Is it about time we tried real socialism, and not the deformed versions of it practiced in the Soviet Union, China etc.

Socialism will work perfectly in a modern economy, because of our history of democracy. Russia etc were backward economies that is why they become corrupt, because most of the population were poor non unionised rural workers. We understand what democracy is in the west, so beauracrtic corruption could never happen, if planning stems from below.

I think it is impossible to have "unfettered capitalism." I think people will always temper it with charity and kindness. "Capitalistic pigs" do find themselves shamed, and even jailed when they go against the laws of the land.

OTOH, unfettered socialism would never work, either. People sometimes do things that aren’t in their best short-term interests, but they can’t be depended on to do those things.

What we need is grass-roots socialism — people working together to help each other out, and taking active part in their local governments. Then, and only then, will socialism work. Because, if you still have "secret capitalists," they will game the system, and bring it down.
