Israel Has Reason to be Paranoid

if I had been in a foxhole in Vietnam, I would have been very happy to have a soldier next to me that was flying the Confederate flag, since those Southerners can sure shoot well.

They might be remembering a smaller world, when pagans were pagans, and lions made pagans laugh at the Coliseum?

I am sure you considered that very clever, Foof...but I have no idea of what you were trying to get across. If you want to explain...fine. If not...so be it.

Not clever at all. A non-sequitur, like clowns on unicycles. A reflection of how your focus is so atavistic, since it is all you guys, that are so concerned about Israel's doings, when there are bigger problems in the world. But, notice how some people just love to focus on Israel; a veritable drop of humanity in the world's bucket. All the Jews in the world don't even equal the population of Mexico City, yet it is so followed by the west. I do believe it is a residual of not having Jews to blame for whatever in Europe, or other continents. No more fictitious Protocols to be concerned about. Do you not see the obsession that the liberal west still has with Jews, except it is wrapped in Israel's flag this time?

I cannot help thinking that the thread is oddly titled: "Israel Has Reason To Be Paranoid" - paranoia is a mental illness characterised by delusions about imagined threats. If you have reason to be concerned about an actual violent threat, you are by definition not being "paranoid". If you do not have reason, then you are a potentially dangerous lunatic. It's the same kind of sloppy thinking that makes people say "schizoid" when they mean "undecided between two alternatives" or "manic" when they mean "excited", or "spastic" when they mean "clumsy".

"No, my dear," responds Webster, "you are astonished. It is I who am surprised."

Wow! That was pretty interesting, Con. And you are correct.

Lexicographer Noah Webster's wife walks in on him fondling the downstairs maid.

"I am surprised," she says with great indignation.

"No, my dear," responds Webster, "you are astonished. It is I who am surprised."

It may have been a relative of Webster who died after he fell in a lake and called out "I will drown and no-one shall save me!"

Still the same terrorists running things whichever way you look at it.

What a steaming pile of horse ****. From a master practitioner in the art.

So you've just confirmed that Israel is intrinsically hostile towards the UK. Why should we have anything to do with a country that glorifies the murder of our citizens?

You didn't major in psychology? Anyway, paranoia is defined as thinking that one is more important than one really is, so others are jealous, and out to get one. You gave the "popular notion" of paranoid.

Of the Brits I've met, and the Germans I've met, in NYC, I prefer Germans. I think they are smarter. Just my opinion.
