Picard, or Bald Spock? Delightful, shreiking voice.

Just to close the loop on this discussion RC, I am just going to have to agree to disagree with you on this. I don't think you are a bad guy or anything just because we disagree here on this particular topic.

In Arizona, yelling at people who cut you off can get you shot, usually by a gun-toating conservative with Trump political bumperstickers (and possibly Confederate flag stickers) on their pickup!

Welp, Iran attacked, and it fizzled. Still, the Israelis want to counter attack Iran for responding to their attack. And, this will inevitably lead to the US getting dragged further into this conflict.

Indeed, it's very hard to argue for continuing to supply weapons and money to the Israelis on the basis of "saving" lives, after Gaza has literally been flattened and 32,000+ Palestinians are dead, especially when about 13,000 were children. By contrast, Israel lost 1200 people on OCT 7, so their response is beyond disproportionate. Also, how many of the 250 hostages has Israel rescued? Something like 112 were released, I believe, which is less than half, but only 3 were rescued by the IDF. Gaza, Hamas or no, has no way of defending itself, let alone invading anyone. What Netan-Yahoo is doing is nothing less than genocide. It is one thing if Israel had took out only Hamas command centers and other Hamas sites and equipment, but bombing civilians and aide workers is inexcusable. Not to mention the nonsense going on in the West bank, and let's not forget the Damascus bombings that threaten to wided the war with Iran possibly jumping in, too. I WAS in Israel's corner at first when the OCT 7 attacks occured, but since then, Israel has long since crossed a red line for me. I can't support them getting more arms and funds from the US, if this is how they want to fight a war.

Good.

Wrong. And that is quite a leap of logic. Cutting off Israel doesn't mean they are weaponless. They can produce weapons themselves. The thing is, if Israel is going to wage war in a manner inconsistant with US policy and human rights, they don't deserve US backing.

Who said I wanted more violence to happen? I think we should stop funding and arming Israel.

I agree with you on that. It is genocide. You would think the one nation that would be sensitive to genocide, Israel, would be the first to not do it. But, I think Netan-Yahoo and the majority of Israelis are bloodlusted right now. Hitting food and medical convoys are warcrimes and the world should stand together against Israel. But like you say, the universe is indifferent to Gaza's suffering, which is terrible. I doubt there will be a 2 state solution.

Something I never asked for, but it might be interesting. I liked the Tales of the Jedi shorts well enough.

I have never heard of, let alone seen, that.

I know what you mean, Odine. What pisses me off is Israel is running amok killing everything is site, including health care aid workers, and Netan-yahoo is thunmbing his nose at Biden when asked to cut back on killing innocent civilians. Biden should CUT OFF any more weapon shipments to Israel. Period.

Some other good scores I thought of: 1. The Good, The bad, and the Ugly 2. Copola's Dracula 3. The Dark Knight 4. There will be Blood 5. Batman 1989 6. Gangs of New York
