stu, axioms exists within systems/models - which are all relative. "Existense exists" is a reification, or tautology at best. You can find no absolutes in the universe - neither the universe itself, as it's growing and expanding - except the concept of "nothingness". This does not mean...

What the outcome of the conflicts in the Middle East will be, I'm hopeful it will be something that has a less detrimental effect on the world than the current situation. I find it difficult to see how the US can support Israel militarily "forever", if things continue to develop like they...

a_person, so why don't you try and make your posts entirely about the issues instead - since that makes it much easier to debate you instead of you making all kinds of personal attacks in between. You just add to noise that we are all oblivious to by keeping up personal attacks ... If...

a_person, you always make your posts about the person instead of the issue - and you are such a poor debater that it irks me. So here you have a little about yourself. Instead of trying to talk about dynamics and politics in the region, you immediately turn to personal attacks to try and...

In philosophy - there are no absolutes, because we can not prove anything to be absolute because of the vastness of knowledge and the universe - save one thing - the concept of "nothingness". The concept of nothingness is one of the toughest topics in philosophy, because it's extremely...

Look, the reality of things is that Europe, Russia, China and Japan are growing pretty indifferent to either party in the middle-east. Southern Asia for sure do not favour Israel, and the same can be said for Latin America - especially Brazil with a large arab immigration (Lebanese in...

a_person, all these groups you are listing are actually fighting Israel/IDF and other types of oppression in the region... I don't see them posing a threat to Europe and especially not a less and less religious Europe ... :p And I think that leaving Israel completely alone - like the rest...

a_person, you are just thumping that old good-evil conflict aren't you? The central piece in the abrahamic religions is that shitty old conflict that they reap up over and over again, labeling "us - the good ones" and "the others - the evil ones". The messianic figure that would save the...

Well, what I see emerging now is a renewed and stronger allied Syria-Iraq-Iran-Afghanistan-Pakistan bloc. Allied as in having a common goal and hope for the future. The Shias, Sunnis and Jews all hate each other - that's nothing new. I think all arabs want a better future and be left alone...

a_person, another solution and bringing of peace would be if Iran and some other arab nations annihilated Israel. Problem solved just as cleanly as your nifty solution, although that would bring around a permanent solution for the region. You seem totally blind to politics and only think in...

In my opinion the abrahamic religions were born out of conflict and are inherently based on there being conflicts. The whole idea of a messianic figure is all about battling enemies. There is never, ever going to be stability or peace with the domination of christian or muslim beliefs in the...

Look, guys. The tendency in Europe is to distance itself from the religion and religious disputes. Instead the focus is on education and development - expanding the EU and strengthening the good things in the region. When seeing all the growth and market potential popping up around the...

They all try to strike it big - with that one huge trade, and be able to lazily say "I told you so!" ... instead of winning on average a healthy steady income while grinding in some effort on top of it, and sometimes letting winners ride out. They get too nervous when actually getting a move...

The solution for the US is to learn adjusting while taking a little moderate pain over time. Instead they choose tax-cuts and stupid populist celebrity-ridden consumer protectionism. It seems US politics is preaching to a lollipop bubble-gum chewing McD-addicts with extra large cokes audience...

Another thing ... A war with Iran is "unavoidable". When the US pulls out of Iraq, the first thing that's going to happen is a very sweetening relation between the two Shia muslim neighbours. Israel will be in super-shit, and the oil markets will be in for super-shit. Make no mistake...

What a silly and sloppy rationale you provide ... Do you really think that you would be able "utterly destroy" Iran? Russia, China, France and others would make sure you are not allowed to do so. Iran is not that stupid that they would do any first strike - and by the looks of it, it's the US...

a_person, I wonder if you are at all capable or equipped with the emotional intelligence for grasping the sentiment and meaning behind something like Rammstein - Amerika http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w9EksAo5hY lyrics http://herzeleid.com/en/lyrics/reise_reise/amerika Arab...

a_person, you seem like a people-hater who guard irrational ethnic and cultural types of hatred and prejudice against others. That's why some should learn to live in the modern world in a peacefully civilized manner before they join the rest of us again - and that goes for all active sides...

America is still great, but many have such narrow mindsets. The most difficult thing to do - is to change oneself - it's really, really hard. The type of self-destruction from within is evident psychologically when people go through traumatic episodes, and it also happens on larger scales -...

Yannis, you should know democrats are more "make love, not war" people ... :D
