Sadly though, as I missed out on the great Sid sell off (due to a severe lack of funds, being a stoney broke ex-student travelling the world ), I shall be tucking into as many shares as my grubby little hands can get hold of in the hope of making vast profits, seeing as they always undervalue these things deliberately in order to generate the appropriate feeding frenzy. My heart says No, my brain says Don't be stupid get stuck in.

Obama said: "If you have both a credible threat of force, combined with a rigorous diplomatic effort...you can strike a deal."
Netanyahu said: "if diplomacy has any chance to work, it must be coupled with a credible military threat."


on that logic - surely Obama should be arming Palestinians so that they too can combine rigorous diplomatic effort with a credible threat of force and thus give diplomacy with Israel a chance to work?

we should also be encouraging Iran to have nukes...

I think the clue why Iran shouldn't have nukes is in the coupling of a credible threat of force with a rigorous diplomatic effort You've quoted Obama and Netanyahu, here's what Ahmadenijad has to say
"Those who think they can revive the stinking corpse of the usurping and fake Israeli regime by throwing a birthday party are seriously mistaken. Today the reason for the Zionist regime's existence is questioned, and this regime is on its way to annihilation."
"The Zionist regime and the Zionists are a cancerous tumor… Israel will soon be finished off"

That's the last nutter though. The current regime were wishing the Jews a happy Rosh Hashanah. Now, that doesn't mean it's all now fine, but a less mental Iran is a good thing for everyone, shirley??

Absolutely.

Furthermore a less mental Iran, without nukes would, in my truly humble opinion, be even better.

Lloyds sell off beginning, too.

Lloyds sell off beginning, too.

Those shares I'm more wary of. Could be poisonous.

i think you must have your browser irony/sarcasm filter turned on to maximum...

Maybe if people stopped demonising mythical demi-gods we might begin to understand what utter bollix lies behind senseless slaughter... For example, I note this fine example of a quote from today's Times "The message for Bashar Assad from Geneva is that he can have time to carry on killing as he usually does"

All my post was pointing out is that me, as an individual, who has not yet been elevated into the status of an Obama, or an Ahmadenijad, or a Geneva, or an Assad is a bit tired of quotes from INDIVIDUALS who aren't.
To see what I mean, just go back and re-read that Times quote. I don't think he's been cloned even once, and I sincerely doubt he's done any killing himself. And I understand he's not immune for a portion of the shit, but, he's not this huge colossus of destruction: he is just one member of a multi-faceted conglomeration of disparate individuals who are propagating slaughter. Can we all stop pretending it's Assad's or Obama's, or Netan-feck*-yahu's fault? It's not - it's mine, and your's and your neighbour's mother's fault.

[Prufrock]

It's definitely not my fault. I'm just saying, you ain't pinning this shit on me. I've got an alibi.

I'm having a good chuckle at the differentiating between the mental Israelis and the mental Iranians. One being a bit brown perhaps clouding people's judgement?

As Iranians are the pure and unadulterated original Aryan offspring, I'm presuming you think the Israelis are a bit brown. I'm chuckling at that...

To expand on this, because believe me, this point to the general population, either here or in other countries, is not well known: racially, that is genetically, and linguistically, Iranians are first cousins to Teutons/Germans. Which is why it becomes a bit embarrasing when spokesmen for that race go on about annihilating Israel just a few decades after the Germans attempted to wipe out the Jews.
Give it another couple of decades and I can see Brits joining the fxclin bandwagon. We are after all brothers to the Teutons and cousins to the Iranians.

Who's differentiating? For the record I think a less mental Israel is a good thing too.

i literally have no idea what you are talking about or who these "people" are...

Really? No idea at all?
People are humans. The ones that mainly broadcast this sort of shit are members of the media.
I don't understand what you don't understand, really.

And, just to let you know where I'm coming from... If, and obviously I'm not, I were a member of some priestly website, and I came across you in my postings, I'd be asking myself why are you so angry. Now, don't get me wrong - if you want to do ANGRY, I could be an ace student, but then again, I'm not the emissary of any religion that purports to be peaceful ( either directly, or through its figurehead).
Just saying like.

Have you just discovered hallucinogens or something? Your posts over the last couple of days remind me of the times we used to cane ket and E for a whole weekend. We too thought we made sense to anyone but ourselves.
