When Hungary combats stone throwing hordes it's "outrageous" and "extremist" and the Hungarians get called every name in the book from every organisation on the planet....sanctions on Hungary could be next, I wouldn't be surprised.
There's a staggering amount of hypocrisy being exhibited here.
Truly staggering.
Thanks :)
Oh gosh I hope I haven’t already responded to your post, I’m a bit bewildered at the moment.
So which is it? Does Israel get a pass from the world press while Hungary is condemned, or does FR generally give a pass to Israel while generally condemning Hungary? Have you seen many posts on FR condemning Hungary?
Yes. It does get out of line at times. Sad to say.
I’ll try to, but honestly I found that absolutely shocking and totally unexpected.
Dear me.
Thanks for saying what I was too angry to post.
What is wrong with him.
Well I wish everyone were acting like the Hungarians. The Croatians sort of dropped the ball yesterday, oddly thinking they’d let them in and they might exhibit orderly behaviour, of course Croatia got the reality check today.
I'm surprised you haven't been asked to satisfy this initiation ritual yet.
So “but” is some sort of offensive word?
Just a few days ago, a poster from 2004 was labeled a "n00b" by someone from, I believe, 2001. I'll see if I can find that thread. But in the meantime, for your dining and dancing pleasure, allow me to re-post this concerning when I called a trouble-making "n00b" in the real world, from over four decades ago, but had the last laugh over an advocate of his oh-so-precious seniority system.
I have actually been a union member -- because when living in Pennsylvania at the time, one has no choice in the matter. It wasn't and still isn't a Right to Work state. So I have direct experience with the evils of unionism. But I ultimately won by busting the evil union and their gang of lowlife goons. Among the more significant moments of my long life (70+ years) are when I led a successful rebellion to oust a private sector union in the Big Labor stronghold of Western Pennsylvania more than 30 years ago.
After the decertification election, when the union was ousted from our company, profits improved and management was able to rightsize the staff. The harsh adversarial relationship between we workers and the bosses vanished. Additionally, the burdensome work regulations that actually were detrimental to the employees were eliminated. For example, the minimum turnaround time rule was tossed, allowing those of us who desired to work additional hours with some nice, healthy paychecks. We also had the freedom to work holidays which had previously been prohibited by the union.
The deadwood was eliminated. Over a period of months, just about all of those who voted in favor of unionism during the decertification election were fired. I'll confess to taking real glee when a 25-year vet of the company was dismissed. He was a bad seed from the get-to, a featherbedder who thought tenure and seniority were his protection. When I engaged in the action to bust the union, this hateful creep uttered these words: "I was here when you got here and I'll be here when you leave". The Na-Na-Hey-Hey-Goodbye song was popular around that time and we who were loyal to the American spirit of free enterprise gave that union goon a serenade as he slinked out the door for good. This guy and his fellow unionistas were real communist sympathizers since they favored collectivism.
Thank you ;)
Are you Ann Coulter?
Welcome Lucy, you may have a few silly bumps, but you will soon feel comfortable. I get the same thing occasionally.
Israeli police very rarely use deadly force against Palestinian rioters unless they are posing a danger to life and limb (i.e. large rocks, firebombs, slingshots with metal pellets, guns).
That is why the Israeli police suffer such a high injury rate as compared to other police in different countries.
The Palestinians want to kill Jews and Christians and are willing to die trying.
The Israelis know that if it happens, the photos will be one-sided and anti-Israel thanks to a completely immoral western press.
It’s hard to be an Israeli policeman on a good day. On a bad day, it could be deadly, just like in the US.
Good question. From what I can tell, here on FR Israel is being defended, and Hungary is being defending. There is little criticism of either nation. That's refreshing!
But as I'm sure you noticed, on the world stage both Israel and Hungary are being demonized, demonized for desperately trying to defend themselves.
So I'm a bit confused by Lucy's post. It doesn't seem very logical. But then again I see nothing wrong with her post, there's no malice in it and no liberal rot.
