Assuming that's true, referring to that antagonist as a "mad Jew" is still not the way to go. It's going to unsheathe angry horns (and responses) every time around here.

Ah, and as to the "Sunsong" post to you: read through the thread. It's trolling for allies. I leave it for you to judge the truth of those silly assertions...

[Sunsong]

Assuming you're a Christian, as I am, you, sir, sicken me

As a self-proclaimed "Christian" - (Mr. Kerry claimed to be one, too, btw) - what do you think is the greatest commandment?

[Sunsong]

As I say - I'm more than happy to repeat myself, or you:

peddle your bilge elsewhere, and among those who don't know any better. Thank-you.

[Sunsong]

It's kinda sad to witness someone who has nothing valuable to say, isn't it?

And this not-so-jovial one has shown himself to be a fraud. He's about as "Christian" as Ted Kennedy is.

"Do you really want peace or are you enamoured [Sic] of continued violence ?"

Given the kind of "peace" I suspect you're "enamored" of, most reasoning people will opt for the latter.

I checked out your profile page, and couldn't help but laugh at your offering there (as if your FR screename wasn't a sure clue pointed in an obvious direction).

One wonders: who're you trying to kid?*

*(for anyone wondering, FReepmail me for details; I'll be happy to clarify)

[Sunsong]

Are you unable to come up with an answer? And here you are acting as if you know it all :-)

What is the greatest commandment?

[Sunsong]

Both sides in the long conflict between Israel and the Palestinians must keep their word as prospects brighten for a lasting peace, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said during her first trip to the Middle East as secretary of state.- NY Post

"It's kinda sad to witness someone who has nothing valuable to say, isn't it?"

Sad, indeed. I'm witnessing it.

[Sunsong]

So what is the greatest commandment? Are you afraid to answer? Or are you ashamed?

It is truly sad to look at your posts. Your arrogance is off the charts - and you really have nothing of value to say. You seem to feed off of cheap shots and ridicule. Please enlighten me as to where in the "good book" it says to behave like that.

[A Jovial Cad]

"What is the greatest commandment?"

For Christians, it's "Love thy neighbor as thyself," of course.

In your case, though, I'd recommend "Sober up, and sleep it off" as a good start towards that laudable goal...

[Sunsong]

For Christians, it's "Love thy neighbor as thyself," of course.

Oh, so you have peeked in the Book, then, or heard it somewhere :-)

I'd be so interested in hearing your (clever, I'm sure) justification for behaving in exactly the opposite way. Will you define "love" as ridicule? Will you claim that only some people are "your neighbor"? Will you excuse your haughtiness as the way you "love" yourself?

I can't wait to hear your response...

"They have no militaries because we are covering their a**es."

We have no militaries ? Jeez. I wonder what is it we sent in either Afghanistan or Iraq, then.

[Atlantic Friend]

"So did I miss the reports of how we were defunding the US's 2/3 share of the NATO budget? That gave us a lot of clout with Europe didn't it? France, Germany and now Spain really have been great supporters in the WOT, right?"

1) US military aid to France is exactly 0$ and has been 0 $ for the last 40 years AFAIK.

2) Spain, France and Germany ARE supporters in the WOT. You should not think that WOT means soldiers - intelligence and law-enforce;ent agencies play a much greater role in the WOT than most people think, and I don't think there has been ONE complaint about the high level of cooperation between us on that record.

[Sunsong]

Oh, and what about this?:

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

[Michael81Dus]

Dervish, let me tell you that Secretary Rice has explicitly thanked Germany for its "great efforts" in the WOT and for the continuing "friendship" between our nations. Yes, you´ve read it correct, even Sec Rice - and not "only" former Sec Powell - called Germany a friend.

May I let you know that it was Washington DC which urged Germany NOT to build up nukes on our own, due to avoid further conflicts with the Soviets, and that the US government has given us a security guarantee for our territory. This guarantee (to defend us even with nuclear weapons in case of serious attack on our territory) is still valid. You don´t have to complain about that, it´s your governments choice - and I don´t have the impression that the presence of US troops is/was not in the interests of the White House. Since the formal end of the occupation of Germany in 1994 your troops are here by your own choice, and you are free to leave. But let me get this one clear: Germany hasn´t received one cent for our own military.

What about this?:

"As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools" (Proverbs 26:9)

That bit of wisdom is one that I find often eludes many...

[Sunsong]

How disappointing - no response as to why you call yourself a "Christian" but don't live by it's most familiar commandment.

Again, are you afraid to answer, or just ashamed? Here I'll repeat it for you:

For Christians, it's "Love thy neighbor as thyself," of course.

Oh, so you have peeked in the Book, then, or heard it somewhere :-)

I'd be so interested in hearing your (clever, I'm sure) justification for behaving in exactly the opposite way. Will you define "love" as ridicule? Will you claim that only some people are "your neighbor"? Will you excuse your haughtiness as the way you "love" yourself? Or do you consider yourself "too good" to stoop so low actually living the commandment? Or is it that you don't feel adequate in the role of loving person?

I can't wait to hear your response...

[A Jovial Cad]

"I can't wait to hear your response..."

I'm just sure, by this point, that you can't. But you'll have to get by the best you can. I'm done here.

Chatting the morning hours away with borderline loons has never appealed to me, somehow, as difficult as that may be for you to believe, and grasp as a concept...

[sheik yerbouty]

I just figured you could have stated your case with a little less vitriol.

[section9]

Since it's Monday, and you don't have anything much to offer from your armchair this morning save more of the same, kindly go straight to hell.

You're an a$$hole with a chip on his shoulder. I'll let Rokke deal with you. I'm done with you.

Be Seeing You,

Chris
