My studies (and many other studies too | numerous to reference here, | but they're all available on the web or in | books/papers) show that the | Jews have had a continuous presence in that land | since before 1000 B.C. | | Right, there have always been Jews in Palestine, I agree. | Now, you claim above that the Arabs intended to murder all | the Jews because of their deep hatred of them right? So how | is it that although that land was under almost continuous | Muslim/Arab control for 1400 years, there have always been | Jews there if the Arabs hate them so much and were in a | possition to do whatever they wanted for so long? How is it | that Jerusalem has had a Jewish Quarter for 1400 years? | | Fact is, that Islam has until recently tolerated both Jews | and Christians throughout the Umma. It's not until the | massive and illegal swamping of Palestine by the Jews after | WWII that the Arabs had any desire to fight back -- as would | anyone who's land was being stolen. | | and the present-day so-called "palestinians" had | no national presence | there at all. They were just a bunch who wandered | into the area and | capitalized on the renewed prosperity that the | returning Jews brought | to the land... | | That is such Bullshit. Sorry but that is not only a lie, | it's a stupid lie. Who is dumb enough to believe that | Palestine was empty of Arabs until the Jew's prosperity | induced them to 'wander in'? There are Palistinians | who can document their family histories in | Palistine going back a millenium. If the land was | empty of Arabs, then who was it that was involved in | all that fighting in 1945-8? Funny that so very many | Arabs 'wandered in' in so few years to spunge off the Jews | but then decided to murder them insead. My Dad knew lots of | Palistinians who sure seemed like they'd been there | for a long time, what with family graveyards showing | 10 generations. | | 4. The "palestinians" DO have their own state, | and have had for many | years....it's called Jordan.... | | They don't see it that way, but let's have it your | way. OK, then if you check the map you will see that | the West Bank is part of Jordan legaly. Either way, the | WB is occupied land and the Israelis should damn well | give it back. | | 5. The current "palestinians" are a mixture of | the offspring of some | arabs who left the territory of the new state of | Israel in 1948, when | they believed the promises of the surrounding | arabs that they would | soon crush the Israelis and divvy up their | goods/lands/women to them | after they had crushed/slaughtered the Jews.. | | They left because they were thrown out by the invading | Jews and it's just that simple. The 'promises' made | by the surrownding Arabs were simply that the latter would | help the former to regain their homes.

When I was a young teen my mother | was driving a gang of us youngsters from church to some | function when the pastor's daughter, about my age, described | how some of the women along with the pastor's wife were | painting the women's restroom with a can of pink spray | paint. These women were the"high society", definitely | not painters. The paint nossle got clogged so they decided | to open the spray can with a can opener. I can still see the tears | running down my mother's face as she laughed as the story | was told. As I recall, she had to pull over and stop to | avoid having an accident. Of course there were alot of | pink painted women as well as other stuff that didn't | need painting. | | ============================================================================ | | 597) Wed, Sep 13, 2006 - 6:59:17 pm | URL | | gregy> | | http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=2431467 | | | ============================================================================ | | 598) Wed, Sep 13, 2006 - 7:00:56 pm | | gregy> | oh, well...at least they weren't blushing "bright red"..... | | | | ============================================================================ | | 599) Wed, Sep 13, 2006 - 7:02:30 pm | | Eric> | Most cats are smart enough to hide from an angry diving | bluejay...they are mean, tough birds.

My cat would let the | dog sneak up until it was close enough and then swing around | and shred the dog's nose. It was a farmer's hunting dog and | the owner claimed it was a cat killer.

She also teamed up with my parent's | cats(2-3 of them) to ravage the house on occasion. But the cats | would get up on a table and hang their paw over to give the | dog a love tap or two just for the fun of it. The cat that | was defending itself from the dog was probably the most | docile cat we ever had. My little brother used to use | him for a pillow. That cat even pinned a full size | Robin-red-breast on the ground with its front legs | and then called me to come get it. I never saw him | really try to hurt the robin. | My dad had a neighbor stop and tell him about | the cat down the street that would chase her dog | when she walked her dog past the cat's house. She | didn't know it was my dad's cat. hehehe And I | also found out that saving critters from my dad's | hunting cats (they were a pair or males) was damn | hard because they would do just what your cat did | with the baby robin...and...the cats were harder to | catch than whatever they were chasing. The cats also | didn't obey and they were serious hunters. They were | small cats as cats go but the buggers would catch | full grown rabbits. | | | ============================================================================ | | 605) Thu, Sep 14, 2006 - 1:35:54 am | URL | | gregy> | | http://www.townhall.com/columnists/MikeSAdams/2006/09/13/the_university_of_n | http://www.townhall.com/columnists/column.aspx?UrlTitle=the_university_of_ne | | | ============================================================================ | | 606) Thu, Sep 14, 2006 - 1:41:02 am | URL | | gregy> | yeah...that Tammy was about a 12-14lb neutered male (all my cats are | fixed)...and he could take off from a standing start, leap straight over | a 3ft tall fence 10 feet away, land in the garden and in about two-three | leaps, nail a robin in flight, that had originally been about 60ft away | when his attack had started.... | ... | I used to know when he was about to "take off" because he would look at | his intended target and kind of "chatter" his teeth and mouth....then | BLAM!!!...off he'd go.....the only time I didn't see him succeed was | the first time he saw canadian honkers passing low over head.... | ..........he took a second look and turned away in disgust | ... | | | ============================================================================ | | 607) Thu, Sep 14, 2006 - 5:22:46 am | | Eric> | I suddenly realized I thought I smelled something hot/electric hot. | I checked this old 486 and all the fans seemed to be working. | Then I checked my "newest" 233 MMX W98 and my power supply fan | had stopped. In the checking process when I pushed on my 486 overdrive | chip fan it caused this 486 to lockup for some reason and I had | to reboot/install Arachne.

These cats | were exceptionally nice cats. Well, my mother passed away | very suddenly and around the same time 1-2 cats disappeared. | My dad decided to get the two remaining cats neutered. Well, | my dad got the one cat ready to take to the vet. The other | cat seemed to sense what was happening and disappeared so | he didn't get fixed. Not long after that we found the unfixed | cat in the middle of the main road about a block from home. | It was after midnight and we were just returning from the | local restaurant. The lure of his girlfriend had been his | downfall. Damn cat was too smart for his own good. My poor | dad was really upset. | | ============================================================================ | | 609) Thu, Sep 14, 2006 - 6:07:45 am | | gregy> | yeah...I can understand.

They were real buddies. They used | to even groom one another. The one got all beat up when he | was 4-5 years old. When I came back from my mother's funeral, | the cat came up to the car to greet me in the dark. He had been | AWOL for a couple of days. I picked him up with my one arm | and went into the house. When I turned on the light I couldn't | believe my eyes. The cat had half of its front teeth knocked | out and his head was all beat up with skin that had been peeled | back away from his jaw and at least one eye swollen up. I | decided he must have tangled with a car and then been recouperating | somewhere until he could get home. My dad & I gave him first aid | and the vet put him back together the next day. He was one tough | cat. | | ============================================================================ | | 612) Thu, Sep 14, 2006 - 8:05:53 am | | Eric> | Oh, I forgot...the one cat used to go into the bathroom and | use the toilet. He was self toilet trained. I'm not sure if | they both did, but the one did for sure. My dad heard the | water running in the bathroom one day and when he went to | check there the cat sat on the toilet seat whizzing into | the toilet. | | | ============================================================================ | | 613) Thu, Sep 14, 2006 - 8:58:37 am | | gregy> | he he....yeah...I love canines since from my childhood....but....but... | a REALLY smart dog has only, at most, about 1/3-1/2 the intelligence of | an average cat..... | | | | ============================================================================ | | 614) Thu, Sep 14, 2006 - 9:00:15 am | | gregy> | oh...and the beatup cat..???....was the weather a little chilly...??? | ... | Maybe the cat crawled up on an engine block, and didn't flee before the | engine was started, and had a runin with the fan and fanbelt...??? | | | ============================================================================ | | 615) Thu, Sep 14, 2006 - 9:31:26 am | | Eric> | I've seen where cats will get into engine compartments and | I've had cats get into my cars thru damaged trunk floors. | That could have happened but this was at the end of June | and these cats were really house cats. He would even | rattle the storm door when he wanted in. In fact, he | would even open the storm door and let himself in and | out. The darn cats would open the cupboard doors in | the kitchen so that the doors had to be tied shut to | keep them out. One time I heard a noise under the | dishwasher so I took off the bottom panel and a cat | walked out. Somehow he came up from the basement | ceiling thru the floor. | | | ============================================================================ | | 616) Thu, Sep 14, 2006 - 9:49:43 am | | gregy> | yeah...that old Tammy had ALL the cupboard doors, AND the refigerator | door, figured out....hadda put hook/eyes on all of them.... | ... | He died, at 16 1/2 years, 4 years ago....he didn't pass his door-opening | talents on to any of the newer cats.... | | | ============================================================================ | | 617) Thu, Sep 14, 2006 - 4:27:21 pm | | Eric> | Gregy, Maybe your cat and ours had a common gene or two. | Of all the cats that I've known, those were the only ones | that opened up everything. If you just pushed the big front | door closed and didn't engage the latch/bolt, those darn | cats, if they really wanted out, would manage to open the | big door and suddenly you would hear the stormdoor rattling | and by the time you could get to the door they would pop | loose the stormdoor latch so that maybe if you were fast | enough you could watch them running down the steps probably | after some chipmunk or rabbit or dog or trespassing cat. | I never noticed the icebox open but that closed by itself | so who knows. I did catch Mr. Roberts after he had opened | a new bag of dry catfood. He was sitting next to the | bag dipping his paw into the food and placing it into his | mouth. The dog would have just stuck her head in the bag, | but not Mr. Roberts, he was too "proper". | | ============================================================================ | | 618) Thu, Sep 14, 2006 - 5:39:11 pm | | Eric> | Gregy, How are your CD-RW drives working in DOS.

It can | suffer from many bad things but it has no soul so it can't | be evil, though it can be an evil-doer for sure! It's the same | with any tool, a gun can be used to do evil, but it itself can never | *be* evil. | | A human can be | evil because a human can choose to be evil, and many do just that. | A human can also be an evil-doer but still do so out of some | ignorance or error, thus Grace. Just the same, if the people controling | an organization choose to use that organization (like the gun above) | to do evil then we might as well say the organization *is* evil | for practical purposes. | | But evil never intends good, is that not so? Thus if WHO | (really the people who run WHO) supports the use of DDT, | and the use of DDT is good then we have | only two options: | | 1) to realize that WHO is not evil (because it does not *intend* | evil as witnessed by the fact that it is trying to do a good thing | (though it may indeed have been guilty of many mistakes of | various sorts) | | 2) WHO is evil and believes that the use of DDT would be a very | bad thing and, as an evil entity, wants that bad thing to happen. | | | | ============================================================================ | | 648) Mon, Sep 18, 2006 - 9:44:56 pm | | gregy> | Ray....no...go back to the Thief on the Cross....NO human is evil... | ..period..flat..final....but...any human IS capable of chasing after | gross unrighteousness and of doing GREAT evil... | ... | The only evil creature(s) is satan....(and his fallen angel followers) | .... | ANY creature able to be "saved" is not/cannot be "evil".... | ... | As for organizations being not evil, because they have no "souls".. | ...heh heh....remember "for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, | but against principalities and powers, etc"..... | ...that's aka "organizations"... | ... | Great evil is often done from mixed/good motives...which is why "the | ends justify the means" is ALWAYS an evil attitude......except in ONE | instance.....GOD.... | ... | Remember...ALL effective lies are wrapped around, at least, a shred of | truth....e.g. "You shall not SUREly die....you shall be as GOD." | ... | | | ============================================================================ | | 649) Mon, Sep 18, 2006 - 9:51:07 pm | | gregy> | now...WHO is evil because for 30 years they have gone along with the | environbationist lie of "DDT is poison"....the people within WHO over | those years are NOT evil...but they did GREAT evil by believing and | promoting (or just allowing it to go unrefuted) that lie....therefore, | WHO is evil....and the people have done evil....to whit: They have | the blood of, at least, 30 million people they have murdered by their | deliberate denial of DDT to protect them from malaria.... | ...and...and...NOTE, NOTE.....this is (don't argue, or I'll cream you) | due to racist attitudes and inclinations.... | ...in other words...they promoted this, and carried it out, because | "those" were NOT members of the "white race"...(I put quotes around | that, because IT is a LIE....there are NO "races" except the human | race).... | | | | ============================================================================ | | 650) Mon, Sep 18, 2006 - 11:44:52 pm | | Eric> | Boy, if ever I were in the woods pursued by a bear I | would want to have Gregy as a companion and I would tell | him that the bear was a member of WHO.
