Jihad is a word that is in the mainstream now, it means an all out assault. It means fight, battle, holy war. in 1900 the hatred of Jews in EU was erupting everywhere, which drove many to the US. Which started the antisemitism movement in the 20's and 30's. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

There is no rush to remove elderly professionals who act as mouthpieces for Tobacco or Agent Orange. There is often a rush to strike off someone like the Green Beret Doctor so he could not act as a doctor inside the prison system. |

You can tell moving the embassy to Jerusalem is a good thing, because the pope has condemned it. He will condemn anything that benefits the Jews. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

This antisemitism movement you speak about was similar to the anti-catholic movement in the states around the same time. I guess Americans have always had a hard time accepting immigration and different religious views. I guess there was a reason the KKK hated both Jews and Catholics alike. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | Do you not believe that people do what they think is right, or do they do, what they think is wrong? People do all kinds of inappropriate acts because, they believe it is ok, at least for them, to do so. People are cannibals because, they don't think it is wrong. And in the case of "the Donner party", it wasn't. They commit arson, and violate every law with the belief that it is acceptable, for them to do so. Ergo, they are able to rationalize that pedophilia is ok, so they engage in it. If it wasn't ok, they wouldn't do it. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

The same KKK that was the militant arm of the Democrat Party? That KKK? If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Yes, they make themselves the arbiter of what is right or wrong however that doesn't change the morality of what they do. I also believe that even when people justify that it is okay for them to do evil acts they have a conscience that they have to overcome and silence. Later if and when they think about what they did objectively they feel shame and guilt for it. I do believe that people will do what they think is wrong or not do what they think is right because they try to rationalize it and justify that in their particular case it is okay. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

And a good example is pedo priests. I read an interview with an ex pedo priest years ago and he had a bunch of what he considered good reasons for abusing 12 year old boys. He was very creepy, and convincing. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
