@Ikomi For your suggestion to be accurate, Israel will have to occupy this Palestnian state and run its military. Which begs the question, why have a military if it's a mere offshoot of the Israeli military? America did not ''broker'' peace with Germany so I don't see why have introduced the idea of a broker. |
mikeansy:That's nonsense. If you are unable to get the go-ahead from a particular party's governing committee, you can always try your luck with another party. The fact that a party might pre-select its candidate is not the same as a group of clerics summarily banning aspirants from running for election. The Supreme Ayotollah of iran is as unelected and the Queen of UKWhat real powers does the Queen exercise compared to the Supreme Leader? The comparison is absurd. The clerics in iran are as unelected as the House of Lords in UK?Another absurd comparison. Most peers are the nominees of elected officials and the Lords pale very much in significance compared to the House of Commons. Incredibly stupid comparison. |
Maybe the poster is aggrieved because she's been told she looks like a Naija woman. Understandably aggrieved in my opinion ![]() |
Ikomi:. . . . . because Germany and Japan chose to have the US run their military? Sense of self-defense? Their military was a mere adjunct of the occupying forces. The comparison is very apt because like the Arabs, the Axis powers waged a war of annihilation which they lost. The victorious nations imposed a peace borne out of pragmatism. They were not wedded to naive notions of preserving the losing nations' sovereignty at all cost. That peace involved severely emasculating the former Axis powers' military capabilities for decades and counting. |
Tisha313:African-Americans know the difference between West Africans and other Africans? |
[quote author=Tayo-D link=topic=284605.msg4038683#msg4038683 date=1245176676]@Richy and Ikomi, Is having an Army more important than having a State? They've had an army all along (militants some will say), but no State. If the sole aim is a State, why is the existing of an Army necessary?[/quote]Do you really need to ask that question? The debate is conducted under a false pre-supposition; that all the Palestinians want is an independent state living side by side with Israel. The fact is that they would rather be at war with Israel than have a state. That a people facing a neighbor whose Govt includes a group sworn to its annihilation should not insist on de-militarisation is the height of folly |
Ikomi:What are you on about? The Germans and the Japanese were more than capable of rebuilding themselves without American help. West Germany had an army that was subordinated to the occupying powers, this is to say nothing about East Germany. If you are alright with that scenario, the new Palestinian state could have an army provided they are run by the IDF with tens of thousands of occupying Israeli troops. |
Tisha313:How does looking like an African constitute a ''problem'' If they said you looked like a Naija girl, then I would understand. ![]() |
RichyBlacK:You are free to run for office in the US without being subjected to the pre-approval of a body of unelected apparatchiks. Are you comparing the US's democratic process with Iran's? |
Ikomi:Germany and Japan had their constitution effectively written by US military commanders in addition to hosting hundreds of thousands of foreign troops. Bibi's proposals are nothing in comparison. RichyBlacK:It's not as potent as the one that leads you to declare Iran a democracy. |
@OP Please post a picture, preferably from chest level upwards. |
If a nation is belligerent, its neighbors can rightfully insist on limitations to its military capabilities. History offers examples of this. Prime examples, Germany and Japan had limitations on their military. If Palestinians' intentions are entirely peaceful, it would be more welcoming of this proposal. Palestinians would rather acquire weapons than acquire books or medicine |
I wonder how people can call a country where the electoral candidates have to be approved by a group of senile clerics a democracy? |

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - [b]A poll of Iran's electorate three weeks before its election showed President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad leading by a 2-to-1 ratio, greater than the announced results of the contested vote, the pollsters said on Monday.[/b]The poll showed Ahmadinejad's disputed victory, which has sparked riots and demonstrations since it was announced, might reflect the will of the people and "is not the product of widespread fraud," pollsters Ken Ballen and Patrick Doherty said in a column in The Washington Post.http://in.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idINIndia-40343320090615 |
RichyBlacK:Ahmadinejad has won the election, albeit with a massaged margin of victory, but Iran is not a democracy. Not with a process that excludes those the Supreme Council don't think are sufficiently conservative. |
You would think that since it's the women that are the most obsessed about marriage and having big weddings, they will be prepared to chip in financially. |

LadyT:How does that make me feel when you are oogling these pictures? |
Finally, someone who appreciates us. Not these stupid Naija women who don't know how lucky they are to have us. |
Go and change your nappies and go to sleep. Don't know when babies learnt to use the computer. |
I thought this was the image representation thread. ![]() |

FL Gators:Seun can do a lot of things but I don't think he can ban Sky Broadband or whatever ISP he uses. Even all the juju he has can't achieve that. Go back and put the feeding bottle in your mouth. |
LadyT:Don't tell me you love these GIFs too. ![]() I'm not grumpy, just enjoying the sight of people moaning. |
tope5000:Just the pleasure of rubbing it in. See how you are complaining about ban ![]() |
tope5000:You are. You are complaining about being banned and other people being banned, on a private forum, which suggests a lack of depth in life. Here we are on a thread whose entire purpose is a pointless whinge about being banned. |
tope5000:You know how many bans that man has incurred? Make una get a life. Is Seun dishing out cheques for the amount of time we spend here? |
davidylan:Personally, I think posts, whether BecomeRich's maps or StarStruck's GIFs, which are sufficiently annoying to other posters run the risk of getting banned if enough people complain about them. Seun's primary concern is to maximise the quantity of forumites. Ultimately, it's his forum, so however the banning process works, it's a waste of energy trying to debate why or who should get banned. |
davidylan:That's self-contradictory. If Seun who presumably has the exclusive right to ban forumites decides to ban users of his forum for littering the place with GIFs, shut up and move on. Why would anyone start a thread to complain about a ban when the forum operates at the whim and caprices of the owner? |
FL Gators:You removed the feeding bottle long enough to type the above rubbish? Don't know why babies have access to computers these days. |
