| Yes this is a good idea, unfortunately if you cast your gaze to the sky a large pie is visible. I am quite aware. My point is obvious; that this is exactly the kind of problem that the U.N. was established to ameliorate and exactly what they are not functioning on effectively. The U.N. should be ab... |

| I guess Netanyahu wasn't being paranoid. And Obama obviously deserves another peace prize for negotiating a deal that doesn't slow down Iran from developing nuclear weapons (no verification) and it also gives the Iranians $150bn to help them keep this promise to Israel. Obama is what I call an &quo... |

| As many people know there is a significant upsurge in desperate people fleeing war and oppression in Africa and the war-torn Islamic State region. This is a humanitarian crisis of terrifying proportions, no question. Below, I have excerpted a few OP's on the subject. Clearly, neither Europe nor the ... |

martin14 martin14: what has the UN achieved?
Nothing.
It's a joke.
But it's not even funny.
Maybe the U.N. could apportion the migrants from Syria and IS throughout the world. Butt hat would be dreaming. They'd rather pontificate on the shores of the East River than do anything useful. |

| Christians and Muslims usually comfort each other with the idea that death is but a mere temporary parting of the way and that they`ll be reunited with each other in the afterlife. Judaism makes no promise that there is going to be an afterlife. This is a better approach because people try and live... |

| My beloved stepfather of almost 40 years passed away in the early morning hours of December 24, 2013. I have known him for over 40 years and my parents married each other just under 40 years ago. Thus, he has been part of my life for all but the first 15 or so years. The funeral was December 26, 201... |

| For his hardcase reputation he would have been a far better leader for Israel the last few years than Netanyahu has been. Sharon kicked those goddamn settlers out of Gaza and probably would have done the same in the West Bank too. At a minimum he certainly wouldn't have gone on a building spree in ... |

| The reason that we fund educational efforts in the underdeveloped world is to attempt to help the people help themselves. The theory is praiseworthy; education prepares children for productive work and accomplishments as adults. The difficulty comes, however, when “educational funds” are used by the... |

raydan raydan: ... if your job and where you lived depended on you learning another language, what would you do... learn the language or quit and move? My people, the Jews, often moved on when their adopted lands grew hostile.
That is why many English speakers moved to Toronto or, heaven forefend, the States. |

| Why should you learn how to use a computer when your ancestors did not? Learning to use a computer is taking advantage of a tool that enhances standards of living and life styles. Learning a slowly dying language does none of those things. What would you do if the environment around you changed so ... |
