Read any really good war crime stories lately or are people only discussing the little crimes, like the Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, Kim Il Sung......but you think they were all USA presidents, dont you ?
If they stop war, what will get you all hot and bothered ?
I went down to the streets, vowing not to return
And wrote with my blood on every street
Our voices reached those who could not hear them
And we broke through all barriers
Our weapon was our dreams
And tomorrow is looking bright as it seems
For ages we've been waiting
Searching for a place for us
In every street in my country The sound of freedom is calling
we held our head up high to the sky
And hunger didn't matter to us anymore
The most important thing is our rights
And write our history with our blood
If you were one of us
Don’t blather and tell us
to leave and abandon our dream
and stop saying the word ‘I’
In every street in my country The sound of freedom is calling
(Spoken)
Dark Egyptian Hands; against discrimination, rise
Outstretched amid roars of might
O Novel Youth,
Into spring the autumn weaves
Awakening the murdered by a miracle achieved
Kill me, the dead shall not retreat your country
With the ink of blood, I write the future of my country
Is that my blood or spring?
Both are in green
I smile from happiness not grief
In every street in my country The sound of freedom is calling

@Ionus,
Mix it up a little, Ianus. Try something other than incoherent rambling.
Of course if someone doesn't say you are absolutely right you cant understand . You only have bias and belligerence, the perfect tools to be a war criminal if you are ever put in that situation . Thats the only thing stopping you from being a war criminal like your heroes...opportunity .

No. I was taught that there's no justice in this world.

I may have to take him off ignore, and see what he's up to.
That's what our intelligence services are supposed to do. Having the other side on Ignore can lead to all sorts of surprising eventualities. Looking good to oneself only lasts until one occurs.
I'm talking about an attitude. I would put A2K on Ignore before putting one member on it.
The landlord in the pub decides who is banned. Not me. I accept those he accepts. He has to be licensed by the magistrates so he is a public appointee.

• There have been multiple airstrikes in the eastern oil port of Ras Lanuf, held by the opposition. AP reports that there have been five airstrikes. Some appear to be aimed at opposition lines but at least one hit a residential area, according to Reuters, which said a house was struck. Al-arabiya reported that bombs were dropped on two hotels used by foreign journalists and that a block of flats was hit. There have been no casualties reported from the airstrikes so far.
• In the west of the country, Zawiyah, 50km from Tripoli, has come under fierce attack from Gaddafi forces and the government claims to have retaken the city, although that could not be confirmed. A Libyan exile in contact with someone in the city said fighting was ongoing and Zawiyah was not under Gaddafi's control yet. Government forces have reportedly been using tanks and have destroyed buildings including hospitals. Al-Jazeera said the city is surrounded by troops loyal to the Libyan leader.
• The Libyan National Council in Benghazi, set up by the opposition, claims Gaddafi sent a representative to negotiate a peaceful exit for the Libyan leader, which would see him retain assets and avoid prosecution. A spokesman for the council said it would not negotiate with "someone who spilled Libyan blood and continues to do so".But a Libyan foreign minister official described the reports as "absolute nonsense".
Some diplomats keen to undertake evaluation mission, but others see it as ploy to weaken demands that Gaddafi step down

He's pretty harmless, after all.
Gregor was a human before he turned into a giant insect and he had the decency to die when he realized the metamorphosis was irreversible. JTT may have shared with Gregor the first characteristic at some point, but has shown no inclination to follow through on the second. You just recalled JTT was originally named for Marburg, the deadly hemorrhagic fever, and that's much more descriptive of his "advice" to the hapless ESL students asking question on A2K> http://able2know.org/topic/168582-2#post-4529918 > where he's not harmless at all.
I would think that if JTT did find himself metamorphosising irreversibly into a giant insect he wouldn't bother about having the decency to die and would grow larger until he was large enough to bring peace and harmony to the world by rendering everyone either ashamed of their participation, however remote, and Ignored, in the terrible things that have taken place in the history of our journey through this weary and tearstained vale of woe, or afraid of the dreadful wrath to come from a bad-tempered giant insect out of all patience with our stubborn persistance in evil ways.
.....they have to get rid of Gregor. He is persecuting them and trying to drive them out of the apartment and, if he really were Gregor, he would have left of his own accord and let them live their lives in peace. Suddenly realizing that he feels only love and tenderness for his family, Gregor understands that his sister is right and he should disappear. He returns to his room, waits until sunrise, and dies.
Gregor was harmless; JTT (formerly a.k.a. Marburg, which, per JTT, was Africa's revenge for the "Western plot" creating AIDS to destroy blacks) isn't.
You're right HS. I haven't read Franz Kafka's masterpiece, "Metamorphosis". I saw a photograph of him once and I determined not to read anything written by a bloke like that.
It's not that I'm all that prejudiced by such a thing but there's so much else in the world written by men one might think had something worthwhile to relate from what one has heard about them from sources one has learned to trust. I have read plenty of Freud and his most famous photograph looks pretty dire.
Kafka looked too serious to me. Maybe I should try it. I would never pass an opinion on something I haven't read as many do about the Holy Bible.
I can't understand why he went to his room to die when he must have known his family would have to find him and deal with it. He should have found a cave in the hills. And not many families would not be driven out of an apartment in which such events had occured. It would have a FOR SALE sign on it pronto for me.
JTT (formerly a.k.a. Marburg, which, per JTT, was Africa's revenge for the "Western plot" creating AIDS to destroy blacks) isn't.
What a delusional bitch you are, High Seas! Oh and did I mention just what a coward you are. After the first time you spewed your lies on language and you were taken to task, you ran to IGNORE.
Pulling disjointed little bits of "information" from dog knows where and weaving them into fanciful tales even Finn or Gob would find hard to swallow seems to have become your stock in trade.

@dyslexia,
I quit Kafka after reading "Metamorphisis) ("Gregor Samsa awoke one morning to find that he had been transformed into a large beetle... " and later "The Trail". I didn't like it much, but it was occasionally good for breaking the ice with the girls from nearby St Johns College in Annapolis. Maupassant, Balzac, Maxim Gorky, amd Turgenev were more to my taste in those days.
Was JTT really Marburg? I have vague memories of that poster from ABUZZ days .. kind of dark and angry as I recall.
