If I said, "Your a fucking idiot and your posts are stupid", would you need to hear a tonme to understand what I was communicating? I doubt it. Your last post moved away from the discussion about the situation in Israel and Lebanon, and towards personal attacks and flame bait. Calling someone's opinions or statements stupid is not a sign of respect.

read any of my previous posts and you'll see that is not true. but i guess u just want to ignore that fact.

It's easy to show sympathy towards those you know. It's less easy to show sympathy towards people you don't.
[QUOTE=Nirvana]if i thought that the people of lebanon were terrorists, why would i hope that that the families of several of these posters on this forum stay safe or hope that this conflict gets resovled with minimal lives lost. but i guess you want to ignore that as well.[/QUOTE[
I read that and toyu know what I thought to myself? "Hmmm, Israel
should be bombing Lebanon, but the families of the forum members
shouldn't be in danger...that seems a bit contradictory". Was I wrong?

What an odd comparison. I don't suppose you are trying to infer a connection there, are you?
The "middle eastern problem" is incredibly complex, so much so that I doubt there are a handfull of people in the world who know the full scope. I can guerantee it's not as simple as people being inflexable.
