Why is this thread one person's platform? Perhaps this sets a precedent though for the rest of us for post upon post, defending our belief of XYZ. Good to know. |
I think Jeff was responding to the PP who wrote after you |
It is not a one person's platform, you are free and welcome to comment/participate/Add. I was just announcing what the purpose behind it was as it wasn't clear from my OP. I certainly do not wish to 'Occupy" DCUMom or claim the real estate behind it as my God given right ![]() |
Perhaps you need a blog. |
Colorful demonstrations and weekend marches are vital but alone are not powerful enough to stop wars. Wars will be stopped only when soldiers refuse to fight, when workers refuse to load weapons onto ships and aircraft, when people boycott the economic outposts of Empire that are strung across the globe. ”

In truth, the entire military is implicated. For that reason, we now refuse to participate in our reserve duties, and we support all those who resist being called to service,” the soldiers wrote in a petition posted online and first reported by the newspaper. |
I like it here.... |
Of course you do. You're permitted to monopolize a thread. Typical. |
This child knowingly or unknowingly is covering her doll's eyes. The most poignant photo I've seen - that says so much

Yeah, like you have never done that. The number of "typical"'s, your favorite colloquialism, is beyond count. You only know her activity because she has chosen to use a name. |
"Typical" is not exactly a unique expression, but maybe you're new to this country. |
I am a strong supporter of Palestinean rights but, respectfully, you do give the appearance of 'occupying' the forum. I understand your vigilance and dedication but it does become overwhelming after awhile. I look forward to hearing a two-sided debate. It is a mistake to get information from a sole source regardless of who is 'occupying.' Bottom line is if the moderator allows it, then his blessing is all that matters. I just hope other opposing or neutral views aren't being driven away for fear of verbal retribution. We need to hear from everybody regardless of whose side you're on. |
So basically you glorify death. That's why Hamas uses human beings as shields. |
I am sorry, but I support the freedom of Palestine, I do not control who participates or debates. People who have other points of view can comment, post, open threads the same way I did, I do not control the debate or what they choose to present or not present. I speak for me, anybody else is free to speak for themselves |
We do not glorify death, we mourn our dead the same way you do, we hurt and pain the same way any other human does when they lose a love one. We also believe in another Life after Death, so we do not look at death or this life as the finality of it all! |
Monopolize a thread? More like preach from the DcUm pulpit. And preach propaganda at that! |
