Cactusboy Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Nothing you've shown me proves that the media is more biased than I already knew. It doesn't take much to believe in media bias. But it does take quite a leap in logic to extrapolate from that belief another belief that Israel = bad, Arabs = good. Completely unsupported conclusion. So you knew it was as bad as to promote the lie of "Arrafat walked away from 99% of what he wanted"(paraphrased)? You knew there were biased enough to promote that lie..and not tell how those negotiations actually ended? It seems you don't care about degrees. THe media is biased so it doesn't matter to what degree they are. The Arabs have done bad...and so have Israel...it doesn't matter to what degree each has. It all seems like a cop out to me...which can be very convenient if you're on the right "side". Link to comment
MLB 51 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Which side is the right side? Link to comment
knapplc Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm sorry, I'm just not as emotionally invested in this as you. The whole point of my conversation was to whittle the nonsense away to the point where we could agree that each side had valid points and each side had done wrong. If you want to quibble over who's MORE wrong, knock yourself out. Link to comment
Cactusboy Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Which side is the right side? The international law side...the universal principles side. Link to comment

Are you going to hold this standard for all conflicts you discuss? Link to comment
MLB 51 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Once again Cactusboy, which side is right? Israel or Hammas Link to comment

How do you rule that one? Link to comment

Besides it's obviously a loaded question, w/ no honest/good intent. MLB is the same one that said Britain gave the land to the Arabs and it belonged to Israel. and he never answered my reply to that. http://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/57769-why-would-israel-attack-iran/page__view__findpost__p__918895 Link to comment

But the energy you're exerting over this is amusing nonetheless. US or AQ. which side has done no wrong...or do you see it as another case like Israel/Palestine where both sides do wrong? You squirming is amusing to me. BTW - It's great to have these discussions. Not only does it help me brush up on stuff, but I come across new info like that foreign policy article about the 67 war.
