Look, as far as issues about the Middle East go, I can agree to disagree (as I have with BrainGlutton, the other frequent member in the Israel threads.) I am very pro-Israel, and a Zionist; this is my belief, but I can respect the conviction of others in their own beliefs.

But I can’t respect people who talk about setting off suitcase nukes in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, or who claim that New York’s Jews should be eliminated. That sounds like Nazi rhetoric to me, and while I’m not one to throw around “Nazi” at anyone who doesn’t support Israel, I think this guy just may be an actual Nazi. So fuck you, man, and if you’re not in Saudi Arabia right now I think you ought to be.

**Paul** , around 8 hours before you posted your OP, you posted this:

> Screw all this Mafia baloney. What a waste of time. “War on terrorism” is a joke anyway. **The Paul Fitzroy Solution: drop a nice neutron bomb on Iran, followed by one on Saudi Arabia.** Bulldoze every stinkin’ hovel in Gaza and the West Bank; destroy Hamas and Hezbollah. We’ve just eliminated a whole fifth column of world society which contributes nothing and sucks in the money of everyone else, funding jealous acts of terror against the superior West. No more terror.

You hypocritical fuck.

I must say I don’t see a lot of joke or wiggle room in the quotation posted by **Atticus Finch**.

Another Pit thread already?, you´ve started one very recently that resulted on a complete trainwreck, so sweep your dignity from he floor, step back and try to release some of that hot gas that´s been building pressure in your head and see if you can come across as anything else than a hypocritical bigot.

I’m sure that \*\*Sevastopol \*\*will be devestated to learn that a fellow bigot in arms has no respect for him because he chose to pick the wrong race to hate. If he hated all the filthy ayrab towelheads, it’d be a different story, right? Or what about all the cocksucking fairies?

Judging by the language used in the OP:

I’d say more serious language would be apt for that headline.

There’s a difference between a military action in defense of our country and genocide.

Bomb Saudi Arabia: They have been funding terrorism, and are known to have had a role in 9/11.

Bomb Iran: They’re building nuclear bombs, which they will surely use.

Destroy Hamas and Hezbollah: They are terrorist groups; we have a “war on terrorism,” don’t we?

Am I advocating genocide, or am I advocating an extremely aggressive military policy? You decide.

I’ll do what I please, thank you. The other thread was a trainwreck because nobody understood what I was trying to say. Their fault, not mine.

OK, I read the thread in question. **Seva** made some facetious comments to make a point. He did not advocate genocide in either Israel or New York. He was perhaps a little too dry for the intellect of some on this board but I read his comments as sarcastic, not literal. The OP, as I suspected, is completely full of shit.

Sir, if _nobody_ understands what you are trying to say, I submit the fault is more likely to lay at your doorstep.

You, who tried to specify an incomplete definition of homophobe, got your ass handed to you, and it’s our fault for not understanding what you were trying to say? The only difference between what you were doing and talking out of one’s ass is that there’s no brown ring around your neck. In its stead, you seem to be painting a red bullseye on your chest.

That’s your opinion; I have mine. Someone who agreed with me could just as easily say that I was making a facetious comment to make a point. His comments were plainly stated; only vocal emphasis or body language can serve to make such a statement sarcastic, which, obviously, the Internet does not afford us. Therefore as far as I’m concerned he was advocating genocide.

I didn’t try to do anything besides say what I thought. It is your fault for not understanding my point despite repeated efforts to make myself clearer.

Ah, and in the same thread where **Sevastopol** made his remarks, our OP stated:

> [@](#):
>
> Guess what: You shouldn’t be surprised to hear me say this, but here’s the Paul Fitzroy Peace Plan:
> 
> The “Palestinians” get the hell OUT of Israel’s territory (yes, that includes Gaza and the West Bank.) The whole middle east is inhabited by Arab Muslims, let the Jews have Israel which is miniscule even with Gaza and the West Bank. They liberated that land in a defensive war; it’s theirs to do with what they please. Throw the Arabs out. Ethnic cleansing? YES, for God’s sake. Just get it over with and stick them in Jordan and Egypt where they came from in the first place.

So you’re for ethnic cleansing too? Niiiiice. **PaulFitzroy** , I think you misread the slogan for the SD. We’re fighting ignorance. Not fighting _for_ ignorance.

Fuck. Allow me to specify that the first and third quotations came from this thread. The second came from the linked thread.

On preview:

> [@](#):
>
> Someone who agreed with me could just as easily say that I was making a facetious comment to make a point. His comments were plainly stated; only vocal emphasis or body language can serve to make such a statement sarcastic, which, obviously, the Internet does not afford us. Therefore as far as I’m concerned he was advocating genocide.

This is such horseshit. Someone could just as easily say the complete opposite. Your own charge against him could, with equal weight, be levied against you. Your comments were plainly stated; do you assert that you were being facetious in the portion of your post quoted by **Atticus Finch**? What **do** they teach the children in these schools?

And, regarding the other thread, and has been stated more than once, your thought on the definition of a homophobe turned out to be incorrect. But don’t tell me - it’s everyone else’s fault for not understanding what you really meant, which is that…[Rodney Dangerfield]you don’t get no respect.[/Rodney Dangerfield]

1. Sevastopol didn’t state that he was being facetious. You did.
2. 

I was not arguing about the definition of homophobe. I don’t care what the official definition of it is. Other people turned that thread into an etymological argument, and when I tried to turn it back in the right direction nobody would have it. If you paid attention to my posts you would understand this, and it is your fault for not doing so if you still don’t understand them.
