Comments on this Blog

Sunday, October 2nd, 2005 -- J. Doe

Comments are welcome on this blog IF they are not offensive. I read lots of other posts on other blogs and some posts I agree with and some I don’t. I have NEVER left an offensive comment though, like one of the visitors to my blog recently did. Criticise ideas, not people.

Here are some of my comments for Scarlett:

You say you are a good Christian, but have you ever read that part in the Bible about ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you’ ? I don’t think so, otherwise you wouldn’t have written your hate-filled comments on my blog.

I don’t slander you because your family came to the US in the 1700s so why do you slander mine because they immigrated to the United States 2 centuries later ?

As far as speaking the English language goes, we both went to schools and had the same opportunites to pick up an English grammar book and study it. I can see from your comments that I have mastered the spelling aspects more than you, regardless of the fact that my family ties to the European continent are more recent than yours. If you insist on using such hateful language, maybe you should learn to spell it correctly.

If you are suggesting that I am less American than you, you are wrong. I was born in the US and my heart, 100 percent of it, belongs there. Perhaps judging from your comments you should move to Iran or Saudi Arabia. You write like you think you would be more happy in those countries, but to be honest within seconds of opening your mouth there you would be thrown in jail, tortured and maybe killed. Those countries that you praise do not allow the same freedoms of different opinions that are allowed in the USA.

I am sorry in the Nazi regimes in Europe only succeeded in killing 6 million of us Jews. We as a people will be around to spit on your grave.

A Mideast Peace Solution

Saturday, October 1st, 2005 -- J. Doe

Buzzurro and I were talking today about the political beliefs of our mutual friends.

I said “Gianni is a Communist. I guess he is against Israel, huh ?”

And Buzzurro answered “I don’t know. I asked him once if he believes that Israel has the right to exist and he responded “It’s there”.

That to me is the solution right there to the Palestinian /Israeli problem. “It is there”. 100 percent of Palestinians don’t have to turn into Israeli lovers, or visa versa, but they need to know that the other side exists and is not going away. A little Realpolitik please ! There should be a 2 state solution because that’s what is living on that piece of land now. 2 kinds people who each want their own state. Neither is going away.

The Palestinians need to stop demanding their one Palestinian state solution as THE solution. Israel is not going anywhere. They need to come to the realization that instead of sacrificing their children as suicide bombers and firing rockets which only bring Israeli retaliation, that it is better to suck it up, work on their internal problems or other matters and just accept that Israel occupies a space on the map. They don’t have to be friends, just neighbors. After all, not all borders between 2 different states are friendly. Just look at the Turks and Greeks on Cyprus.

Is Venice Worth Saving ?

Saturday, October 1st, 2005 -- J. Doe

The mayor of Venice is opposing Mose — the barriers designed to prevent the flooding of Venice — because it will cause environmental damage.

Just who is he the mayor of? The fish who swim in the lagoon, or the people of Venice?

According to the article:

But it wasn’t until 1966, when a super high-tide swamped the city, destroying the homes of some 5,000 people, that Venice’s elders decided to take action.

I would hate to be one of those 5,000 people hearing the mayor choosing environmental concerns over their homes.
