    No, I'm making a point. Turning down something due to religion is something THIS very country would do, and nobody would have a problem with it.
    When have we done that?

    I think the point that Manny was trying to make, and that many of you know he's trying to make, is that you would not have any problem with aid being turned down for a religion that you find abhorant, but crack on the Sri Lankans for doing just that. I think it was stupid for them to turn it down, but it's their decision, and not yours or mine. They are also still in the midst of a civil war that has gone on for roughly 20 years, and have had the relative quiet of a three year cease fire, a quiet that could be undone by accepting aid from a controversial source. It's probably a no win scenario for them: people will die if the aid falls short, or people will die if the fighting re-erupts. Go ahead and throw stones, you glass-housers.
    I especially liked the underlined know.

    But his point was not made...because he compared the Jews to Satan. That's kind of where it fell apart.

    Plus, in a disaster such as is being experienced, it's silly to ask the religion or even the motive for someone offering assistance.

    Right, nuking N. Korea for no reason is a great idea.

    Anne Coulter is dumb . . .

    She's also hot, but unquestionably dumb.

    Anyone who thinks Ann Coulter is hot has vision problems and I recommend laser surgery to save them from themselves.

    I'd rather everyone who thinks Coulter is hot posted a picture of their wife (girl, babe, SO, whatever).

    My vision is fine thank you.

    I might not have the highest standards when it comes to women, but I would Coulter faster than you can say Anne.

    I forgot that NameDropper only sleeps with the likes of Eva Longoria.

    Back to the topic, anybody else, except "crazy-Coulter", believes nuking N. Korea for no reason is a good idea?

    I think the point that Manny was trying to make, and that many of you know he's trying to make, is that you would not have any problem with aid being turned down for a religion that you find abhorant, but crack on the Sri Lankans for doing just that.
    Manny's point is irretrievably flawed because in order to be consistent, either Jews must be objectively evil, or Satanists are only evil to those who so perceive them.

    Satanists are inherently evil, and consorting with them taints whoever does so. Satanists worship the purveyor of evil because they believe it will give them demonic power. Their belief system is built upon the dissemination and promotion of evil. Evil is their god. To call that just another religion is the apex of mushy post-modern amoral liberal crap.

    Neither the state of Israel nor the Jewish faith is inherently evil. If someone believes that either is, that person is by definition an anti-Semite. I don't think I should just have a "live and let live" at ude if another country decides some group of people is inherently evil. I don't put up with it if another American tells me Muslims are inherently evil.

    This sort of mentality is indicative of the cultural problems that keep so many Muslim nations backward, frustrated, and des ute in spite of their enormous human potential. If we had a disaster and one of our enemies like North Korea or Iran offered aid and we turned it down, I would be incensed at our government. If a bunch of Wahabbis or the Muslim Brotherhood offered aid with clean hands, we would be stupid to turn it down. Doing so sends a message that we are not interested in promoting peace, even under the most desperate of cir stances. It is the most brazen rejection of an extended olive branch.

    I think it was stupid for them to turn it down, but it's their decision, and not yours or mine. They are also still in the midst of a civil war that has gone on for roughly 20 years, and have had the relative quiet of a three year cease fire, a quiet that could be undone by accepting aid from a controversial source. It's probably a no win scenario for them: people will die if the aid falls short, or people will die if the fighting re-erupts. Go ahead and throw stones, you glass-housers.
    There are ways to express to Israel these kinds of complications, if Sri Lanka were interested in congenial communication with a controversial benefactor. Sri Lanka did not do that. Sri Lanka basically said, "Die, evil Zionists, we hate you."

    It doesn't mean we need to judge Sri Lankans or withhold aid. But neither do we have to blow it off as "differences." Hate is hate.

    The specifics of the situation don't make the point flawed.

    You just miss the point.

    The point isthat under certain situations regarding a different religion or group, people would not oppose the rejection of aid in this country. Yet we don't let another country make a stand on principle without being critical.

    I guess you're just going to have to tell me which religion from which the U.S. would reject aid.

    Yet we don't let another country make a stand on principle without being critical.
    What principle? Racism? We don't tolerate that principle in America either...

    You need not look further than that case to see where people of this country also try to reject aid.

    So, now, instead of Satatists, your equating Israel with a the Klan?
