The evils of the protecting-duty, may undoubtedly be graduated by compromises, like those of every other species of tyranny, but the folly of letting in some tyranny has in all ages been fatal to liberty.

I'm no pal of yours John. Let's just get that out in the open. k?thnx
When you run someone over with a bulldozer, the intent is clearly murder.
Nice try though at defending the indefensible! I'll give you bonus points for chutzpah!
Anyway, headed out the door. Enjoy your afternoon.
In agreement with you, consti'.
Perhaps if I run at you with a knife drawn and held steady, and happen to stab you, it becomes your fault entirely since you did not get out of the way.
I don't think we should have done anything on a Governmental level in response to the incident, but pretending that the bulldozer operator bears zero responsibility is silly.
Genuine, willful, aggressive ignorance is the one sure way to tick me off. I wish I could say you were trolling. I know better, and it's just sad.
God forbid that we should be able to live in a peaceful world where we can travel and enjoy life. What if Christians were to promote a peaceful world?
Rachel Corrie is simply another statistic for central bankers.
Much of the world's problems will go away when we finally end the rein of central banks.
You're damned right we're not pals. I have no interest in being lumped together with someone who supports people who advocate genocide.
Merely because someone is run over does not establish Mens Rea, or criminal intent to commit a crime. Read a book on Criminal Law. I advise this one, it was the one I used in school.

The law governs. We live, or ought to live, under the rule of law---and maritime international law allows for blockades of belligerents. Gaza is a belligerent under blockade from both Egypt and Israel, those are the facts, even if you want to shut your eyes and run around like Chicken Little.

Hamas controlled Gaza is AT WAR with Egypt and Israel, which is why the blockade exists... to prevent shiploads of Iranian weapons from landing Israel just asks to inspect the cargos, and has consistently sent all humanitarian aid received directly to Gaza.
Get it now???

Can someone point me to evidence that proofs the blockade is illegal with resources also? I need it for debating with someone.
Also when someone calls you an anti-semite because they can't respond to your arguements, does that mean you've won? hahah

Incorrect. According to the same "international law" the israeli's keep pointing out, within that same law, it specifically gives details which prove their blockade is ILLEGAL.

Now, Gaza is at war with Egypt and Israel. Nice little mess this act of war has spawned, eh? Get it now???
The bullies on the block don't like competition, hence the initiation of an act of war. Neither Israel nor Egypt need to blockade Gaza over the alleged flow of "shiploads" of Iranian weapons. Shall we blockade Israel over its nuclear weapons? Israel has threatened some serious global damage over it's "right" to exist. If "shiploads" of Iranian weapons are being funneled through Gaza, then a perceived demand is present for those weapons. I wonder why?

Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

yes, a person shoud not intentionally run over another person with a bulldozer. holy crapOriginally Posted by "john taylor"
Actually no. That's why the Germans were able to sink ships in the open Atlantic during WWI which were attempting to run the blockade of the UK.
As for your second inquiry, the U.S. maintains, in spite of international law to the contrary, that the U.S. has sovereignty over a further reach of coast than is recognized elsewhere...

A blockade is defined by the Encyclopedia Britannica as "an act of war by which a belligerent prevents access to or departure from a defined part of the enemy’s coasts."
I suppose it would be illegal unless war has been declared.

Who said anything about intentionally? Do you know that the bulldozer driver was trying to bulldoze that girl? I haven't seen any evidence of his mens rea regarding that... the woman knew the risk she was taking, and she could have moved. The bulldozer driver likely assumed that the woman was a reasonable person who would not want to be run over... I don't see any intention there... but feel free to demonstrate it to me.
