After calming down, some well meant advice. I realise that conspiracy theories, intolerance and similar breed like flies in dictatorships. Afaik, it was the same in e.g. Eastern Germany. But even if you grew up in a non-democracy, you shoul

There are lobby groups in the media for every interest group. You argue that the jews control the media with very little support and ignore that it is a carbon copy of racist hate propaganda. You guys also wear white capes? >>The Is

Good arguments against me claiming all critics of Israel copy and paste from the Zion protocols and that no criticism is possible. Oh wait, I never said that... I'm not surprised by your choice of black/white straw man to "argue" against.

How is the reading experience? Can you get 80 chars into it? I hope there isn't a good one hand keyboard interface (chording?) so you can write email/code while bicycling/driving/etc -- with my simultaneous capacity, it would be my death...
