Hmmmm, very interesting discussions. I agree with Sarah about the Jews being a little less bloodthirsty than Palestine. After all, the land in question was won when Palestine attacked Isreal way-back-when for no reason at all, and Isreal won against all odds and kept the land (sorry for lack of detail - I never was good at remembering facts and dates in History class......lol).
>>>There is no truth in the world. Truth is a quality that attaches to ideas, or more accurately, to propositions. It is a quality that is given to certain propositions by human beings. Truth has no existence that is independent of propositions, and propositions are creations of the human mind.<<< As a Christian, I'd have to disagree with the above. I couldn't live like that. It seems a very despairing way to live and to think about the world. I believe in God (I have seen too many things not to), but of course you could say that this was only my version of "truth". But whether you believe it or not, there IS a universal truth - and a right and wrong. If we all decide what is right and wrong, what then? Who is right? Mother Theresa's version of 'right/truth' or Hitler's version? I think Joni gets to the crux of this in the lines: If you're smart or rich or lucky, Maybe you'll beat the laws of man But the inner laws of spirit And the outer laws of nature No man can. -The Wolf That Lives in Lindsey. Yeah, damn straight :) I have to agree with that. Not to recognize that there is this universal law is a little childish I think, and it elevates a person to think he/she is the center of their own little universe ;) No offense intended. Still, interesting discussion :) Joseph http://movies.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Movies - What's on at your local cinema?
