I'm sorry, I'm not going to watch a 3 hour funeral.
At what time points does the Imam disparage these servicemen?

Kremlin backed source is irrelevant. What is relevant is a rebel spokesperson is threatening to stand with the Assad regime.

Such hostile responses from a post that does nothing but support my claim, comes across as a histrionic hissy meltdown to me. Are you incapable of composing a response that doesn't include an ad hom attack?

When one attacks the messenger rather than the message, it's usually indicative of a meltdown.

Again, my opinion is that Israel should tread rather carefully, ...lest the rebels choose to join with Assad and use those American supplied assistance against Israel. Above is a clip of a rebel spokesman echoing such a warning, that i'm using to support my claim.

What support do you have for your claim that such a thing could never occur? Hurling insults at me does nothing to support your claim that such an eventuality is ludicrous. What it does do is broadcast a meltdown in progress.

Ps, I take that back about the Lopez sisters. These weren't LAPD.   

LOL, ...the elderly Poindexter sisters, ...I would expect no less.

Had that been 21 & 24 yr. old Tyrone & Jerome Jackson, they probably would have been face down on the pavement, handcuffed and tasered. And their car impounded for 30 days.


...and if it had been Maria and Luisa Lopez, their vehicle would have been riddled with bullets.   

 . It's nice to see that not everyone has lost their sense of humour. 

Like I said, ...wouldn't take long to say "I told ya so", ...but truthfully, I didn't think it would be this quick. 


Friendly Foes: If Israel targets Syrians, Rebels will stand with Assad

We'll see won't we. 

LOL!  Keep it up OzmO. You may get the cheers of gimmicks & trolls, but that will hardly engender the respect of those on the boards whose esteem you crave. keep it up.

Random terror attacks don't constitute a two front war.  I don't think it would be any skin off their noses to recruit a suicide bomber or two, or three, or more to strap on suicide vests inside Israel. There are a ton of things they could do, and most likely will. Just my opinion, ...and I don't think the USA will care because their major objective is to isolate Iran. I don't think they'd have a problem with islamists letting off retaliatory steam against Israel, as long as they continue fighting Assad. I think a few factions are getting desperate at this point, having anticipated the toppling of Assad taking place quite some time ago, but Assad is still hanging on. Just the opinion of one who doesn't have the faintest idea what she's talking about.

Abortion

Genetically Modified Organisms

Are all considered topics for political, ...but genetically modified babies are not?

Babies are not organisms? Since when?

World's first GM babies born
by MICHAEL HANLON, Daily Mail



The world's first geneticallymodified humans have been created, it was revealed last night.

The disclosure that 30 healthy babies were born after a series of experiments in the United States provoked another furious debate about ethics.

So far, two of the babies have been tested and have been found to contain genes from three 'parents'.

Fifteen of the children were born in the past three years as a result of one experimental programme at the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science of St Barnabas in New Jersey.

The babies were born to women who had problems conceiving. Extra genes from a female donor were inserted into their eggs before they were fertilised in an attempt to enable them to conceive.

Genetic fingerprint tests on two one-year- old children confirm that they have inherited DNA from three adults --two women and one man.

The fact that the children have inherited the extra genes and incorporated them into their 'germline' means that they will, in turn, be able to pass them on to their own offspring.

Altering the human germline - in effect tinkering with the very make-up of our species - is a technique shunned by the vast majority of the world's scientists.

Geneticists fear that one day this method could be used to create new races of humans with extra, desired characteristics such as strength or high intelligence.

Writing in the journal Human Reproduction, the researchers, led by fertility pioneer Professor Jacques Cohen, say that this 'is the first case of human germline genetic modification resulting in normal healthy children'.

Some experts severely criticised the experiments. Lord Winston, of the Hammersmith Hospital in West London, told the BBC yesterday: 'Regarding the treat-ment of the infertile, there is no evidence that this technique is worth doing . . . I am very surprised that it was even carried out at this stage. It would certainly not be allowed in Britain.'


John Smeaton, national director of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, said: 'One has tremendous sympathy for couples who suffer infertility problems. But this seems to be a further illustration of the fact that the whole process of in vitro fertilisation as a means of conceiving babies leads to babies being regarded as objects on a production line.

'It is a further and very worrying step down the wrong road for humanity.' Professor Cohen and his colleagues diagnosed that the women were infertile because they had defects in tiny structures in their egg cells, called mitochondria.

They took eggs from donors and, using a fine needle, sucked some of the internal material - containing 'healthy' mitochondria - and injected it into eggs from the women wanting to conceive.

Because mitochondria contain genes, the babies resulting from the treatment have inherited DNA from both women. These genes can now be passed down the germline along the maternal line.

A spokesman for the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), which regulates 'assisted reproduction' technology in Britain, said that it would not license the technique here because it involved altering the germline.

Jacques Cohen is regarded as a brilliant but controversial scientist who has pushed the boundaries of assisted reproduction technologies.

He developed a technique which allows infertile men to have their own children, by injecting sperm DNA straight into the egg in the lab.

Prior to this, only infertile women were able to conceive using IVF. Last year, Professor Cohen said that his expertise would allow him to clone children --a prospect treated with horror by the mainstream scientific community.

'It would be an afternoon's work for one of my students,' he said, adding that he had been approached by 'at least three' individuals wishing to create a cloned child, but had turned down their requests.

If you say so...  

 

You got a problem with girly cars?

No dodge.... cowardly or otherwise. I've made it quite clear.
I have no desire or intent to convince anyone of anything.
My opinions are what they are, and history will prove them either correct or incorrect.

What I don't understand is your obsession with me explaining my entire thought process to you,
...and why you get so darned hysterical when I don't. It's not like you value my opinion. So why the frustrated obsession?

The only thing that had previously kept the different middle eastern factions from open warfare has been their mutual hatred for Israel. That is the only thing that has united them.


Are you saying radical Islamists are not suicidal? lol.
I think there are a whole lot of random body parts all over the region that say otherwise.  


If it comforts you to believe that, ...be my guest. History will either prove me correct or incorrect.

yes. I'm not going to waste valuable time to write out an essay.
If I come across something that echoes my feelings on a matter I'll post it, ...but it doesn't mean that these are the basis for my opinions, ..they just simply echo them on occassion. Other times, they just provide food for thought, adding in different perspectives that heretofore have not been part of the conversation.

Yes, I have opinions, and I choose not to back them up.

ps: The extra formatting does nothing to alter my opinion or my lack of desire to attempt to prove my opinions correct.

Why should I have to back up my opinion. It is what it is.
History will either back me up, or prove me wrong, ...not endless debate on this board.

I don't think the Islamists who are currently being supported by the USA, in their fight against a secularist Assad, are too crazy about Israel having bombed Syria. It would not surprise me in the least if these Islamist forces turned their US assistance against Israel. They have no chance to take on Israel head to head, however guerilla tactics could always be employed. There is no shortage of possibilities.

LOL... No circular reasoning there. I don't specifically seek out websites that affirm opinions I already have, ...I just post from websites that affirm my opinions. There are plenty of websites that have opposing views. In fact I am one who looks at all sides of an issue before I formulate an opinion. I'm also not one who is married to an opinion either. I'm perfectly willing to, ...and have changed positions on a matter based upon new information, or a different perspective not previously considered.

As Ozzybooboo has often pointed out, I won't take the time to formulate arguments here, ...but I will often post clips, pics, and articles that affirm my position, ...or on occasion provide food for thought.

Whether right or wrong, my opinions are what they are, ...and no amount of debate either within or outside of these boards whether victorious or not, will impact the truth or fallacy of my opinions. History will bear that out.

However, if you think the USA does not want to bring about a war, you better think again.
The people may not want it, the country can ill afford it, the POTUS may not even want one, but it is those who are in charge, the REAL powers behind the POTUS who are intent on bringing about the war, and as such... There will be one. By hook, or by crook, or by weapons of mass deception, they will get their war.

We'll see Ozzybooboo, we'll see.

And this time, I doubt I will have to wait years in order to say "I told you so"

Of course I've considered it. The first casualty of war has always been the truth.

Fact is I do not form my opinions based upon conspiracy theory websites. Quite the contrary, I use the "CT websites" to support & convey my opinions.

And I agree with Hugo. I think giving Israel the green light to attack Syria is going to turn around and bite everyone concerned on the butt!
