Valid Point about the I/P conflict that is ignored

It kind of bothers me when I point out on Yahoo that Arabs only owned 20% of the pre-partioned land when Israel was created. Most of that 20% was owned by absentee Arabs. I never get a response to that fact when I post it, neither from the Paliphiles who believe the entire middle east was OWNED by the Arabs or the Pro-Israelis. It makes me wonder if Pro-Israeli posters don't want to acknowledge this or am I missing something? The fact is most of the actual Arab Landowners are dead by now and/or didn't leave in 1948 or 1967. As far as the majority who left, they were renting anyways. Nobody in the Western world considers rented property their land and nobody uses the right of return to go back to an old apartment. Most Palestinians alive today in disputed territory were born in either other Arab countries or the West Bank and Gaza. It would be interesting to find the number who live outside of Israel who were born in Partitioned Israel and what their story is, and I mean true story.

Kennewick Man

OK, here is the deal. Bones were found in the States of a species of man that were Caucasoid, which predates Native American Indian ancestry. Its speculated that they were wiped out by the Indian ancestors. Native American Indian lobbies want to stop research of these bones for obvious reasons.
What if its true? Does this mean that Native American Indians have to give back their casino rights and have to be treated like other Americans for tax purposes? Maybe they can share the casino profit with the reservation caucasians: the trailerparkers. For these people are probably direct descendants of Americas first people:Kennewick Man.
Does Patrick Stewart look lke a Native Indian? I don't think so. But according to research, Patrick Steward looks like Kennewick Man.

I'm assuming all this stuff is true. If so, I figure Native American Indians time is running out with respect to special status. They have 8,300 years tops to go.

George Bush and God

OK, I realize that winning a Presidential election is far more important than winning a football game, but this thanking God stuff is just way too much to watch.
Bush is pretty much stating that God's will is dictating his policies and that he is in a sense using God as a scapegoat in case he makes mistakes. Since he is doing God's work by being President.
Whatever happened to the seperation of Church and State?
I think either Bush is a nut or his speech writers are nuts.
I'm surprised he didn't start singing "You Light Up My Life" yesterday.

What I really don't get about Christians

How can I write this without being offensive? Who cares, this is my blog. I just don't get that these people who almost died go around saying the lord saved their life. If their premise is true and the lord did save them, the premise of afterlife for eternity also exists. And that afterlife is supposed to be phenomenal (harps and angels forever and ever......blech, unless there are a lot of a promiscuous naked women around, I'm not interested). So what exactly did the lord save this person from. Just the inevitable. And yes, I know the rhetoric, "I have unfisished work to do in this world" Unfinished work? If all you need to get an eternal life is to believe in JC, what unfinished work is there to do? Convert as many people as possible? Fill heaven up so its like Tokyo, where you have to sleep in a closet? I just don't get it.
