It is documented that Hamas shot from civilian areas. If the return fire kills civilians, it isn't the Israelis that broke the war laws. Also, note the sex distribution: 671 dead men, 218 women. And among older people, not of front lin

You really handpicked the references about the teenagers. Hamas has admitted it was their cell, it has been discussed in other comments. Sigh... At least be honest about well known facts. :-( http://news.yahoo.com/hamas-lead

Afaik, the borders were open and people commuted to work from the West Bank/Gaza and there were purchasing trips between the areas. That ended with the second Intifada, to protect Israeli civilians from organized attacks. This closing

On this website it ought to be more Linux users than Windows users? Last time I went to the Ubuntu hardware compatibility chart. (Or is OpenBSD the popular choice and I'm behind the times again? :-) )

I was talking about the destinations "visited" in West Europe by vikings at the time. That was what the quote marks indicated. (It is a bit simplified, Ireland still had partly a tribal society of course.) Sorry I was unclear. If

Scandinavia at the time (and a few centuries after) was a violent clan society. War, raids etc were what people did instead of playing football and ice hockey. And business. The trips to (e.g.) England were business, it is documented that b

It is a new world after at least 1989 (probably decades older), the CIA almost only destabilize non-democratic juntas. Personally, I don't really care about the working situation for the juntas, they are generally criminal thieves that

I believe it is painful in high security organizations, by definition. You can often e.g. only use tools which are vetted and stamped OK by a complex and expensive process -- so they are old. Imho, security is really interesting theoretical

Addendum to the last paragraph: I think the last researcher thought the ones killed through hunger were more random -- take most food from a population and you don't know exactly which ones will die. With murder, you are more specifi

Bring your claims to the academic authors -- I quoted 8-61 million from the wikipedia page, which quoted the researchers. The researchers seem to differ in, amongst other points, how much of the hunger was planned. Quotes from the wikipedia

Hardly a factor ten. Holodomor, the great purge, the red terror, forced resettlements, Gulag... Values between 8 and 61 millions, depending on if the starving are part of that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_killings

I showed by examples of your double standards that you are a lying hate propagandist, which have no problem even with teaching children racial hatred. If you could have shown that was wrong, you would have. Instead you just classify me...
