Shout it Out!

We cannot be Christians and remain silent or fearful. The message of Christ must be shouted out to others.

lorenzo, baby boy,

may I repeat some questions of mine which you, in your omniscience, perhaps failed to see and which, unfortunately, your posts failed to enlighten amid all its garbling:

by reminding me that the term palestine was a “roman impression and not original”, did you mean to say that the palestinian nation does not exist or does not deserve to exist at all?

states’ statement was that 'philistines need to go back to crete'.  is this exactly what you gave credence to with your little inference?  as i have earlier said, that statement is like saying that white americans should go back to europe because they came from there.   

since you yourself posted (#82) that abraham and his followers originally came from ur (present-day iraq), and they were hebrews, who, then, were the true original inhabitants?

what makes the hebrews, who were immigrants as you’ve said, more original to the place compared to other immigrants who were not hebrews?

so?  is it because of hadrian that peace seems impossible there now?

n.b.  these questions are a result of your posts.

regards.

congratulations, statesville and lorenzo, on your newfound mutual admiration club.  from wisdom to precision to grammar, you are, indeed, one in glory.  may your tribe multiply like the tribes of israel.  

Quote from: islander on June 19, 2010, 04:58:13 PM
let me try to follow the thread of your logic.

so the original inhabitants were hebrews and not arabs, as you say in your post?  (quoted thus)

since you yourself posted (#82) that abraham and his followers originally came from ur (present-day iraq), and they were hebrews, who, then, were the true original inhabitants?  what makes the hebrews, who were immigrants as you’ve said, more original to the place compared to other immigrants who were not hebrews? 

my, everybody there, after all, was an immigrant, though it seems to you that some immigrants are more original than others and thus have more right to the place.  ugh.  let that be said about 5th generation fil-ams, your own generation notwithstanding.  it’s called discrimination, right? 

if my “lecture” to states was erroneous, you may write to historians about how misleading their book entries were.  it looks like you know more than they do.

here’s that “erroneous” post (post #7).  tell me what's in it to undermine states with.

sorry, statesville, but i beg to disagree with this statement (not necessarily with you).  one group of the so-called philistines did come from crete, at around 1190BC; most of these groups of philistines are of mediterranean and greek origin. 

the current palestinians are descendants of abraham as the israelis--- a more apt and current term instead of 'jews'--- are descendants of the same patriarch.  (that makes israelis and palestinians blood relatives in the strict sense of the word.)

lineage aside, if we say that these 'philistines' need to go back to crete (it's not a country but a mediterranean island that is part of greece), they who have settled in gaza for more than a thousand years before christ, surely you will find it unthinkable if present americans (the whites, for purposes of this discussion) are deemed to need to go back to their countries of origin in europe because america belongs to native americans.  unthinkable, right?  to think that white americans started settling in the new world only in the 1500s after christ while the 'philistines' settled in the currently named palestine for more than a millennium before christ.

of note in these current times is that palestinians hold titles to the land and their houses that are bulldozed to make way for israeli settlements.  any country will go to war if this is done to its people.” 

p.s. when you say “since antiquity…”, in essence it means “from ancient times until now…”.  unfortunately, nowadays there’s no such place named yehudah.

sweet dreams,

islander

with apologies to states, i did not undermine her nor try to undermine her.  to undermine is “to weaken, damage or demoralize”.  surely you know that.  nor did i claim that the philistines were not greek-speaking people.  will you please read other people’s posts well first before looking at your beard and deciding that its color is blond?

my “lecture” to states was only because of the impossibility of having philistines go back to crete (and not all of them came from crete), and why, because it’s like saying that white americans need to go back to europe where they came from.  too bad your bit of history that includes mention of hellenistic culture in crete did not help any.  unsa man tawoy labot sa uling sa valencia, dong, sa ihid nga iring sa dimiao?

disagreeing is not undermining.   but what a childish game you play, baby boy.  you seem to try to take other people’s side and praise them to gain their own praises for you or, when that proves impossible, sometimes go as far as deleting posts that didn’t agree with yours.  it’s pathetic, because this forum can make us all friends, in cyberspace at least, even if we disagree on some things.
 
you don’t have to grovel to anyone and in the process risk strewing carelessly and needlessly the facts you've read.

you are an earnest young man, no doubt.  a few more years and more realistic experiences of life’s ups and downs perhaps can tame your loose missile (or firecracker) of an intellect.

Quote from: islander on June 19, 2010, 02:16:08 PM
to be honest, i can’t keep up.  i go for wit, that’s why, not mental masturbation nor all sound and fury signifying nothing.  but i have the patience for trying to decipher words like ceasure and raize, which i feel are your latest inventions.

geh mit gott!

and a long shot inference at that, which no one will probably care about, much less be noted by all.  it does not answer the question.

To start with, reduce the rice intake, slowly reduce or remove the salt in your diet, drink lots of water and increase your intake for sour-tasting foods (1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar does wonder), walk every day (no excuse) and BEWARE of STRESS!!!!

by GREEN LEAF of AUSTRALIA
18 November 1992

The main island group of the Philippines is the Visayas. The major islands are Bohol, Cebu, Leyte, Negros, Panay, Romblon, Samar and Siquijor. Andrew Garton interviewed Maria Socorro, a community lawyer from PROCESS (Participatory Research, Organisation of Communities and Education Towards Struggle For Self-reliance), Bohol, and discovered the popular tourist retreat is far from paradise.

Bohol, known for its “Chocolate Hills” and the smallest monkey in the world, the rare tarsier monkey, has lost 95% of its coral reefs in less than 40 years. Silt from the heavy deforestation of the island, cyanide fishing, blast fishing and the encroachment of large private fishing boats have all contributed to the death of Bohol's coral.

The waters are policed to prevent those without permits from fishing in the restricted regions. Many local fisherfolk, as they are commonly known, cannot afford the permits but continue to fish “illegally”, under constant threat of harassment, fines and often violence.

But even the private fishing vessels that enter these waters do so illegally and often bribe the local constabulary. These boats are owned by millionaires, generals, businessmen and government officials. Their boats are heavily armed and carry the most sophisticated radar equipment to find their catch, often at the expense of the local fisherfolk who must subsist from fishing, and have been doing so for centuries.

These boats often dredge the ocean floor. This destroys the coral, which can take up to 50 years to rejuvenate.

Blast fishing is taken up by some of the local fisherfolk frustrated by dwindling stocks and the restrictions imposed on them. This method enables them to haul in a reasonably sized catch for very little effort in a short space of time.

Cyanide fishing is more harmful to the coral than blasting. Cyanide, released from small capsules, temporarily stuns the fish. The coral is killed instantly. On release, the cyanide turns the reef black. At least with blasting, the coral is “redistributed” across the ocean floor and gets a another chance.

In a recent incident between local fisherfolk and a private fishing boat, one of the locals had been shot. He was later paid 21,000 pesos to keep quiet. The wounding kept him from feeding his family for over a fortnight, so he accepted the bribe.

The shooting occurred in May, when there was an embargo on

weapons because of the national elections. Local community workers are charging the owner of the vessel for bribery, entering municipal waters and carrying firearms during the embargo. The local police chief has been implicated as an accessory.

Maria Socorro spoke of some disturbing health problems on the islands around Bohol. Water-related epidemics strike the islands during the months of June, July and August.

Worst hit are the children. At least three die each day. The heat depletes fresh water, so the islanders must drink bottled water from the mainland, the quality of which is questionable.

There are no communal toilets. The islanders take to the shore, where they cover their excrement with sand. Pigs and chickens roam around the shore line accompanied by thousands of flies. There are no doctors; locals cannot afford the high salaries they demand.

Recently, questions have been raised about the handling of funds for the Bohol Water and Sanitation Project. Reports produced by the local government reveal a “ghost project”. In the original program, funded by the Australian International Development Assistance Bureau (AIDAB), the local government was to provide water pumps, concrete and labour to install them; AIDAB was to provide pipes from Australia. The report indicated that pumps were purchased and distributed. A physical inspection of the proposed sites revealed that no pumps had been delivered. With funds now spent and the reporting complete, it has been difficult for local NGOs to get further funding, though there is talk of a German agency offering support for the project.

One of the main concerns around funding of such initiatives is that there is no allocation of resources for training. The funds are normally provided to establish organisations to administer the project but not to train personnel or initiate the project itself. It becomes, as Maria called it, a “ghost project” where there is an “infrastructure” but no productivity.

    Yup, I totally agree. But on the other hand, maski straight and orientation pa ang atong gusto for our leaders,  corrupt gihapon sila! Mau na ang akong gusto to see a big change in our leaders. Mabayot man sila or straight, eradicate corruption! Far-fetched? Keeping my fingers crossed!

As i understand Sabah island was used to be the quarentine station for labourers coming from China and the Philipines during WW2 and because of it's attraction the countries like Malaysia, China, Borneo to include the Philippines were interested to be a part of the 5 hectare area. Some historian claims that the royal sultanate of Sulo and north Borneo kingdom was the owner since 1878.

as sure as one plus one equals two.  and as far as i know, crete is only one of the many places of origin of philistines.  you yourself mentioned arabs as migrants to palestine too in another post of yours.

Quote from: islander on June 19, 2010, 02:08:28 AM
granted then that we're not OT, put another way, does it mean that for peace between israel and palestine, "the philistines need to go back to crete" because palestine was a roman impression on the near east? 

Quote from: islander on June 19, 2010, 02:44:28 AM
i mentioned other empires in the context of your claim that empires that tried to exterminate the jews had collapsed.  empires collapse, as they all must, whether they try to exterminate jews or not.   

i claimed nothing of the sort that all empires had something to do with the jews.  rather, my point was the collapse of empires is way off the current israeli-palestinian issue. 

and now your lecture is expanding to what happened to those other empires.  o, lorenzo, hilfe!  how would you feel if you’re talking about how fine the weather is and someone answers with the details of the mortgage on his latest sailboat acquisition?         

you either cannot get it or you simply refuse to get it.  the former is a product of a short-circuited intellect, the latter of being too full of oneself. 

i appreciate your stamina, though.  goodnight.
