http://www.hurryupharry.org/2009/10/08/who-wants-to-be-a-pillionaire/ I wonder how people who support Hamas can claim they are doing it out of sympathy with Palestinians. What kind of sympathy is that?
Religion is a fickle bitch. What they are doing right now might appear to them as the right thing to do.
Good post Hiptastic.--Hamas has ZERO interest in freedoms and they have zero interest in making peace with anyone.They(Hamas) are just capable of terrorism and being a danger to the rest of the civilized world.One thing I will give Hamas credit for--they are great liars and con-artists.They could even sell ice to the Eskimos.

Peace pineapple08, I edited that post to explain that... IANABIAP (I am not a believer in any prophet.)
I don't understand what you're saying...you say this to say what? lol. IANABIAP (I am not a believer in any prophet.)
I don't know if that's what he meant lol, but sorry to say that that statement ("...my personal views, which are not pro anybody, but pro the truth,...") will have to suffice for discussion of my personal views. Thread subjects shouldn't be monopolized to discuss posters if they're not about the posters. Sorry, but that's how I see it. Peace, IANABIAP (I am not a believer in any prophet.)
Not sure where I stand. I don't know how many motorcycles there are in Gaza. Or how many women want to ride on them. And since Israel has them locked in... not sure where they are going anyway. According to the article it's for the citizens safety. Much like seatbelt, child safety seat, and helmet laws in the US promote safety without lowering insurance rates. Or disallowing same sex marriage seeks to preserve customs while ignoring civil rights. Or permitting insurance companies to deny coverage to babies that are overweight by claiming a breast fed baby should take personal responsibility for it's size and step away from the table.
Yeah its a real tough one, isn't it. Real tough. Yes gardener, I'm sure that's what makes this such a difficult call - you just can't figure out how many motorcycles there are. That's what you're struggling with. I get the impression that there's enough motorcycles and enough women riding them that Hamas thought it necessary to ban them. To the store? To visit family? To visit friends, go to work, to make olive oil? Oh no I read on the news that Palestinians don't actually do anything, they just sit around being persecuted by Israelis all day long. Yeah, it true, I read it on the internet. Yet only women are banned. Hmmm...
Where are these Palestinians going on their motorbikes? Israel? Who are they going to sell their olive oil to? Should they check and make sure their friends are Fatah not Hamas first? Or are they suicide bombers headed towards innocent Israelis? If so how worried should we be that they don't carry a double load of bombs on their bikes?
To the store? To visit family? To visit friends, go to work? I can repeat that answer a third time if it helps. I don't know what you find so incredibly hard to understand about the idea that Gazans go places. What do you think they have motorbikes for? Californians? At least the ones who support Palestinians by purchasing their products rather than whining in web forums? Sorry what does this have to do with banning women from being motorcycle passengers?
They may be a bit nuts, but given that no-one else besides hamas and hezbollah seems to actually challenge Israel i'm willing to cut them a bit of slack.
So as long as they send suicide bombers to a few weddings, you're willing to cut them some slack when they are beating women for wearing a swimsuit on the beach. Nice.
Most religions consist of self imposed rules on the frightened.Islam seems to be imposed by thought police and murderous bullies.I think we should go electric and natural gas and cut ALL those people loose and never even bother to think about them again.Oh yeah--drive some ships and fly some airplanes over there and get every last american serviceman and woman on them and get the hell out.
Don't beleive everything you read. Terrorism is just another face of war. you could argue it's the only intelligent way to fight one.
