And you are obviously free to.  But maybe you shouldn't in ALL situations.

Well, seeing an american ex-marine questioning other peoples outrage over the murder and profanity of dead bodies by US soldiers is one situation I won't pass on.

It is just a pissing match as usual with Cam and I.  Don't read too much into it dude.

Its a public internet debate forum, and I posted on the topic picking up on the current discussion. Unlike this complete derail you promoted on your "private piss match" story. But I guess you got what you wanted, derailed people from some bad news about US soldiers. Good job.

The only broken record here is how defensive you get on these issues...

You seem to be confused.  I AM NOT defending this guy.  I am questioning why Cam is so outraged at this, yet finds ways to justify a Palestinian blowing himself up in a crowded cafe.

I never justify that. ??

Sympathise a better word?

How can you realistically sympathise with someone that is dead?

I sympathise with the Palestinian cause. I don't sympathise with those that kill civilians deliberately.

Not entirely related to the thread but some evidence to back this up

No the cause I'm talking about is to have their homeland, a free and sovereign nation, free of illegal settlements and military occupation, where all Palestinian refugees can return to and call home.

Pretty hard to do that without killing people who live there already.

Yeah I think the Zionists found that to be the case when they did it in 1948.

God Science bless the UN.

Even if we take that at face value, their cause is to kill Israelis not Jews.

I also find it strange when all the good things they do such as those in the videos Kmarion posted are not broadcast on the BBC, strangely enough the BBC only ever shows bad stuff that's happening, guess its all profit and ratings.

For the last time, the BBC does not get any funding for adverts so it doesn't care about profit and ratings.

In the end its a buisness, and its all about profits, without profits it would not be around anymore.  Hell the Salvation Army is a non profit group, but you cannot tell me someone somewhere is not making money off of it.

If you have a TV in the UK you must have a TV licence or face a fine/jail.  The BBC don't need to adjust their programs to gain profits they get money from every honest TV viewer in the country ^{and the crooked ones when they take them to court} even if they never watch any of the BBC's channels.  Yes the BBC cares about profits but choosing which programs to air does not affect their profits in the slightest as they have already taken our money.  I think that's the point Ghettoperson is making.
