How can people be so dumb and KNOWING they are dumb.

I’m just starting to settle in and be interested in this thread.

22

Are these borders sufficiently pre-1948?

23

I’m kind of wondering just what the OP means to convey by “just making me laugh my ass off and rage” in the first line.

24

Isn’t it clear? He just burned your dog. So goodbye to your Golden Retriever.

25

Dumb people don’t know they’re dumb, as evidenced by the OP.

26

Hey, my dog was burned a long time ago, so the joke’s on him.

27

I normally see threads turn into reverse pittings but this is one of those cases where the OP is feeding itself with so much gusto that it is like watching a gourmet Ouroboros in action.

28

Hey, I’m only 29 and the song started playing in my head immediately. My parents were hippies, the entire play is burned indelibly into my mind. :smiley:

Nice work with the setup John Mace, and Colibri with the pickup!

You just watched it for the articles, right? :wink:

Hippies now have children who will soon be over 30…

What has this world come to!

33

This probably isn’t the place to seriously address the OP’s thesis (such as it is), but it was always my understanding that one of the effects (and intents) of the creation of the United Nations was to ever after delegitimize the concept of nations acquiring territory by conquest. To someone who accepts
this as the current international reality, it alone serves as a rational justification for insisting upon a return to pre-1967 borders.

34

I agree that rational debate in this thread is pointless, but even those who, as you claim, believe that the foundation of the UN has altered the basic terms of 5,000 years of human civilization, should admit that most of the 1967 “borders” are, in fact, not borders at all but Armistice Demarcation Lines; and in fact, the treaties that established these lines expressly noted that they were *not *international borders and should not be treated as such.

35

We starve, look at one another, short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes

36

and yet …

37

Okay, I’m on my 3rd shot of tequila and it’s still not making any sense. How many more do I hafta have?

38

TO mor

39

Or maybe pre-1918 borders.

Depends. Three shots should be enough to get for the glibby-glop-gloopy and I-burning-your-dog parts, but for the OP you may need to chug the whole bottle.
