Deleted the half part of the message.

Though seriously, I actually wonder how they guess the arrival on Earth by Jesus.

Also, about the Israel thing, I just want to point things out, ainsoph; please don't get mad or whatsoever.

I'll first say that I went to a rather pro-Palestine school, and that Jews...well, there weren't a lot there.

Also, some weeks ago, I know that many people boycotted a jewish store in a 1km radius from there, and that in Quebec, there's a popular Iran-native deputee; you don't have to search too far for him, just google it and you'll find him.

Before I want to open a debate, I'd say that we need to find some third-party informations; ainsoph, just by looking at your links, I highly doubt that they were neutral ones. :wink:

So, I think that concerning that, I would like to see more sources, please. That's all for now.

EDIT: Also, TGM, can you move all the Israel-concerning posts to the Commune, please?

Could you please explain that last part? I am afraid that I am not following you...

I am not mad. I am just crazy. :P

Seriously though, it is becoming more common for schools and students in them to take a pro-Palestinian approach. So, you are not alone there. Whether I agree with it or not is another story.

Concerning "neutral," when it comes to these kinds of things, it is almost impossible to find something "neutral."

Please remind me of the sources I used. I cannot remember.

You want these posts to be their own thread, or into the 'Such is life...' thread?

Done. I know I don't need you ladies and gents to keep it civil, but I'll be keeping my eye on this thread to make sure it doesn't get out of hand anyways.

b0mb3r is just projecting himself onto you kira. You know, he has always wanted to be a girl and all. :roll:

Back on topic, kira, could you please give me those sources because obviously I was not finding them again, strangely enough. :)

Also, frankly, I do not really care if the sources anyone here uses are considered "bias" at all. Frankly, this topic is a moot point if we define bias as having any slant whatsoever. If the source is biased, then I say that we just call each other on it in a respectful manner without any flaming, name calling, etc. At the same time, it would probably be healthy no to get...ahem...sidetracked into debating the sources alone. So, if we debate Israel or whatever, we should just keep cool and enjoy the ride. 8) Sound good? :)
