Though that abstention is conditional upon the community that expresses its disapproval of the posting of these same tired topics here being consistent in it, because if I again observe the rampant applauding and cheering on of the killing of civilians in Lebanon (or anywhere else in the ME), the calls to nuke the Middle East, and the deriding of ordinary Arabs as "sand ******s", "camel jockeys", "ragheads" and other such epithets, then I will not be able to remain silent - not if its left unchecked like it was in the past.

And for those who wonder why I single out the ME and Arabs or Muslims, and who would accuse me of bias, then I will reply beforehand that the bias was already here and that if it were any other ethnic or religious group then the bandwagon would not be here with so many aboard it. But if things have really changed here then I'm quite happy to refrain from any such further (endlessly circular and tiresome) discussions.

Boring....basically we know pretty much most people's positions here, they aren't going to change them. Move on people, there are more fun things to talk about.

When I get boring, I leave the thread for what it is. ( Is this english?:hmm Should be: I wont visit anymore?

I know, I have hedging down to such a science I should take up politics.

I agree, but I kid not. Scandium, you are far too sincere and honest to be a successful politician, and would not adapt well to taking the party platform.

Yes. Better skip the party stuff and head for the UN directly.

You know, the repetitiveness of the agruments themselves do not bother me. We all know where everyone stands, and have a reasonable conception of what they are going to say before they say it.

It is like watching an episode of Happy Days. You know that Fonzie is going to pull Richie into something that he shouldn't be doing, and that Mr. Cunningham is going to catch them and ground Richie for two weeks after talking things over for thirty seconds and making it all right again. Blissful predictability.

Perfect for the UN! Just the part saying "making it allright again", that still gives them trouble.

So, Sky, how do you feel about the UN?

Now that's how to be sarcastic with style.
