: Maybe the idiot is in fact yourself.

** That is your opinion.

: The fact that you use Oy Vay and take sculpture suggests that you are sympathetic to the Europeans and the whole art is life BS.

** I say Oy Vay because it's a useful expression, acquired from years of growing up in a Jewish area. I take sculpture because I have free elective credits and I couldn't fit photography into my schedule... and I happen to enjoy it. What is the "whole art is life BS"?

: In and of itself that is not bad, but for the record, a lot of Europeans are extremely anti Semitic. They hate Jews. They hate Israel. The Europeans are also profiteering from the oil for food program. We are not.

** How are we not profiting, and how are they? Explain yourself please.

: What is interesting is that people like you are almost ALWAYS sympathetic to Palestinians, wanting to "free" them. This is where I always lose it with respect to your logic.

** I don't know why you brought the Palestinians into my "argument", but I happen to believe that they can coexist peacefully with the Israelis with two states side by side. MANY Israelis share this view of mine.

: One of the benefits, albeit maybe not our primary goal is that the Iraqi people will be freed from the rule of this tyrant.

** Nobody disagrees that he is a tyrant. And "Regime Change" IS the primary goal of this administration... and the "weapons of mass destruction argument" goes right along with regime. Ass.

: By you saying that the rest of the class is so stupid and that your professor was like a breath of fresh air was a lie.

** How do you know? Are you in my class? No. I don't know you, and I don't have a good enough memory to have reproduced the entire conversation, which lasted over 30 minutes.

: Your professors breath was familiar, not fresh. The problem with your debate is that you weren't debating.

** We were debating for a long time. I presented an idea, then they countered and vice versa.

: You were **cking up a class with your soap box politics.

** You are so strange. I didn't fuck up anything because I didn't bring up the subject in the first place.

: I have a feeling that "somehow" you started this whole discussion.

** I have a feeling that you "somehow" are blissfully ignorant.

: The last thing I will leave you with is this. Whether or not it just or right to bomb Iraq is something that is impossible for you or I to know. We DO NOT have all the information that our leaders do. Nor do we have a crystal ball that will tell us if this is the right thing to do, as you or I cannot predict the future.

** That's one thing that I can partially agree with... that we do not have all of the information. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean we should just accept what our leaders do because "they know best". That logic produced the holocaust.

: Where were your opinions when Clinton bombed Europe (!) on the day of his impeachment (!) in order to stop a dictator without UN APPROVAL!!!!! I bet you didn't say a word. Big girl, small mind.

** Big girl, small mind? Where did that come from? I'm male, and the bigger girl didn't have a small mind... I was just shocked that she called me a communist randomly.
