This cannot be the case.

Neither religion has been in existence for that length of time.

You’re quite wrong about Apartheid too. For all of it’s iniquity, it had nothing whatsoever to do with slavery.

Vertical…..It’s an expression, as well you know, goddamit.

Seeing as the whites saw the blacks as inferior and only good enough for slaves in the first place, I wouldn’t say it was cultural at all, the Dutch followed by the Brits did not even recognise thet Blacks had any culture whatsoever so they couldn’t base their hatred on such.
The two situations cannot be compared. I am unfortunately correct, that the Jew cannot live near the Arab, and more so the Arab cannot live near the Jew.
So, we either give the Jews, say, California, or we sit back in peace until a rocket comes over into Israel.

Well said. Thank you.

SA apartheid was a local Black Vs white (Based on the slave trade etc.), and political thing. Jew vs Arab is a deep cultural hatred that has been around since man stood vertical. ITYF it will overcome the recent anti Israel feelings.

You lucky sod.I remember my daughter’s teenage years.The tantrums!The swearing!The door slamming!AND coping with my daughter being uppity occasionally.

A palomine has 4 teen daughters. Mum is only 48 so she often goes to the pub with them. My mate hasn’t seen the bathroom for several years LoL.

I take your point,but surely for all their cultural diversity those countries’ citizens were all in the loosest sense,basically South African and Indian.We’re talking about two completely different countries here. You might as well expect England to combine with ( God help us ) France.

Eng and France are much closer than you think, a lot of the present anti French is just banter. And of course, it always does well to bash the French for being French…..I wish we’d stick by our guns as much as they do.

As for Arab living with Jew, never.
You may as well ask a Polar bear to live with a Seal.
There will never be peace in the MidEast until the Arabs do what Israel tells them. (And that’s not a joke line) The Israelis have bigger and better guns, and support from the free West. There will never be another fiasco as per 2007, as we saw only a few months ago. After conceding to world pressure in 2007 and Israel looking shamed, from now on if you step on Israeli toes, you’re going to get really hurt.
End of. Truth hurts.

Sad, but a fact of life. (And it keeps the Defence game busy and keeps me in a job!)

Thanks,but what worries me is that my husband and my friends genuinely enjoy easy listening and the relaxing sound of the pan pipes.I think something must sneak up on you while you’re asleep one night and make you grow up.

I’m probably older than you and yer hubby….I have an 8gb Mp3 player, 4.5gb is Tiesto, 2gb is William Orbit, 1gb is “The Who” and the rest is a smattering or all sorts ranging from “The Manchester scene” of the 90’s to Motown to Elvis, even some proper Sinatra! (Big Band stuff where he belts ’em out).

Stop making your hubby into an old man!

You should know if you’re British… it’s the Union flag and is only the Union Jack when it flies from the Jack mast of a vessel…also the Aussie’s have their version of Marmite called Vegemite that they claim is far superior

Marmite is a bi-product of BEER! Vegemite is a gay thing.

Or sex, it heals everything.

What,even my husband’s verruca ? Blimey.[/QUOTE]

Yes, but I’m not telling you how on here. The mods will have me shot, drawn, quartered, fed into the intake of a Trip7.

Have we scientists yet worked out the evolutionary reason for the Hammerhead with eyes on the end?

Wider eyes give a sharper focus/distance measure……but the other “Ordinary” Sharks seem to cope just fine with that issue.
