israel attacks gaza bound aid flotilla.

[dum]

btw, on the topic of iran.
they offered to escort any future aid convoys, and hamas said 'no thanks'

Turkey, on the other hand, are stepping up to the plate.

ya, cute. weren't turkey close allies to israel until very recently ?
isn't it like, the number 1 holiday hotspot for israelis ? (until recently, I guess)
aren't they currently far more 'moderate' than iran ?

at any rate, I'm not keen on turkey's eu accession. the fact of the matter is, they are now more willing than ever to assist the palestinians.

funny... a thread about a real situation.. where people died.. turns into a dum(b) fest..

I smell an attention whore..

ya. cool. Believe me, I didn't want the forum drama in here. If you hadn't noticed one of my main criticisms of failstation's presence in this thread is his trivialisation of the topic. stupid smileys, smug links punctuated by loling smileys, giant letters etc. Believe me this is not a trivial topic.
but as ikeaboy pointed out, I've been trolled - and sure I took the bait but I tried desperately to stay on topic too.

And why weren't you so quick to criticise failstation for trivialising the issue ? could it be because you don't perceive his views as at odds (when he manages to verbalise them sincerely) with your own ?

btw... all the "aid" from the mod ships is getting stacked up in a military facility because Hammas refuses to accept it(??!!)

..guess they don't need those wheelchairs and concrete that badly eh?

dum.. either you don't see the strategic plays taking place.. / your're trying to act naive..
in any case .. you're either dumb or a hateful puppy..and I don't think you're dumb

I'm not so sure the concrete got through, at least I'm not sure it got through from the 'rachel corrie'
however... as I've stated from start to finish, the intent (and they stated as such before even leaving the dock) was to break the blockade.

as for the 'dumb or hateful puppy' bit... all i can say is right back at you.

You've been trolled? CHRIST, but that is rich.



There's a few more for ya. Consider it ammo for your next session.

As to your other bits of claptrap? meh. Same ole'.

Drop my name a few more times; as it pleases you to do so. Talk about obsession. Even when you aren't addressing me directly, you're talking about me. lol.


And I'll ask you one more fucking time:
WHEN WILL WE SEE YOU ON BOARD ONE OF THE SHIPS IN THE NEXT FLOTILLA?

Attending horrid little Irish solidarity meetings with Patchouli oil smothered hippie chicks in dreadlocks is one thing. Actually joining a flotilla? Well, quite another indeed. How deep are your convictions? Willing to possibly sacrifice your life for them? I'm guessing not. Though, judging by your endless rancor and insane passion over this issue, you sure as shit wouldn't know it. Your outrage seems to extend about as far as your fingertips on the keyboard.

Woops, one more for the road.

[dum]

heh, case in point (projecting, accusing me of doing what he's doing himself etc)


anyways loop, ok it's totally moot but I'll answer you.

first of all, beyond volunteering to be on board the flotilla you have to be selected by the organisers.
secondly, one of my parents is dying of cancer (advanced).

So, I'll do as much as I can from where I am.


satisfied ?

[LoopStationZebra]

secondly, one of my parents is dying of cancer (advanced).

Well I am sorry to hear about that.

We'll get back to fisticuffs soon enough, but that's rough going.

[dum]

ok

moving swiftly on

If you feel you have to trade insults with Dum, any chance you could keep your insults personal to him instead of insulting, stereotyping and condescending lots of people you don't know, unless of course that's your intention.

^And where are you when he's doing this to us Yanks?



Oh. SELECTIVE outrage. Got it.

[ikeaboy]

Oh. SELECTIVE outrage. Got it.

I'm Irish, my girlfriend is sometimes involved with the IPSC, has dreadlocks but I can assure you she doesn't smell of patachouilli and wouldn't appreciate the term hippie-chick either, that selective enough? Care to add a little detail to your comment above now please?

Your girlfriend is part of the International Practical Shooting Confederation *and* she's a hippie? That is so hot.

[dum]

I use the term 'yank' so I guess he's referring to that.

for what it's worth, when I say 'yank' what I have in mind is some kind of gun toting, fox news believing, bible-belt inhabiting, doesn't-know-where-australia-is-on-a-map, tobacco chewing kill-em-all-and-let-god-sort-them-out racist. basically the dudes that give the usa a bad rep.

99.99% of the U.S. military in other words.

She has me at gun point right now and it is hot but she's not actually a member of the International Practical Shooting Confederation, she helps out the Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, goes to marches, meetings, leaflets and stuff.

Well Thank God for small favours, eh?

Now, again, where are you when the US is being slandered? 'Ameritard' being a personal fav, of course.

I don't think you were pissed at me for those comments. Not really, anyway. I think you were itching to give me a dressing down for other offenses. No?

No that pissed me off and I really don't think I should have to explain why. So shall we leave it at that then or do you have any further closing comments?
