Reveal Confessions, Secrets & Regrets...
Well, I'm sure that were he to have to go to the bathroom still asleep, the not waking up to do so would create a state of some discomfort, cause awakenedness :P Get someone to wake you up in the morning, that's not technology. And to keep OT: Confession: I find pregnant women sexy.

I need some advice - I'll have 60 frost emblems today - I don't know what to do with them. I did plan to buy t10 gloves but people keep telling me not to at apparently them and the legs drop in VOA, and i run 10 and 25 weekly.... I would get the shoulders but what I have currently are already one of my best gear peices...should I just save up 95 and get the helm/chest?

Hamas executes 2 for Israeli collaboration
Double standards, can't damn them for being worse than you can any other country. Unless you are predisposed to a bias. The Chinese have done lots of shady things to it's own people and Tibet in 10 years, the mexican cartels stitch faces on soccer balls and terrorize people domestically, you're going to tell me that isreal is damned for having to make tough choices in a time of war? and they are surrounded by enemies. This is being blown out of proportion IMO. I'm not damning them for being worse than any other country at all - in fact as it goes Israel is nowhere near one of the worst abusers. But it still doesn't make it ok. I have a problem with any country that abuses human rights, including my own. However, as Israel is where the discussion is, that's the only country I brought up. Israel is not the only country that fits our discussion... I'm not sure what you're asking me here - I admit launching rockets at innocent civilans (hamas) is just as bad if not worse than any human rights violations Israel commits. My point is that it still doesn't give Israel the right to ignore human rights (nor Palestine). Interesting story btw: http://www.thestar.com/news/insight/article/796852--palestinian-doctor-spreads-message-of-life-death-and-peace This is the attitude people need. Obviously one man is the tip of the iceberg - but if more people could show one tenth the selflessness of this man, this conflict would go away in a heartbeat.

It's not a bad idea, however it may be wiser to wait a few more weeks to let the demand grow more as people learn more about the skill.

Im impressed... you're adventures make mine look like trash. What class/race are you, Yguy? And I'm still wondering if it's worth it going on that big treasure hunt for those lvl 70 epics, is it worth it? Also, just did my first Pick-Up Raid yesterday in Karazhan. It was PAINFUL because we had 4 other hunters in the raid, although I've still gotten an iLvl 115 epic (which frankly, sucks against my lvl 115 rare in that slot...), and then the MT complained about one of the hunters (still no clue who...) and rage quit after two bosses. That kinda ended the whole damn raid. http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Scilla&cn=Mansfield And no, don't bother with the 70 epics.

Correct you are. But just because others do it doesn't come close to making it ok for Israel to.

Hamas executes 2 for Israeli collaboration
Sorry about the delay in responding, real life called to me. This sounds a little to me like: "I'll stop being a criminal to get what I want, when I don't get it I'll just go back to being a criminal again". Maybe I have expectations too high, but Israel does have the opportunity to be the better man, at least in regards to the illegal settlements. I admit its far less easy in regards to the invasions. I guess I'm playing Devil's advocate here - I don't mean to say Palestine is innocent. A lot of people have the conception that Israel is purely a victim - and the way Israel reacts to Palestinian action (and vice versa) follows a childish pattern: "he started it!!!" "no he did!!!" etc etc....which isn't going anywhere. And I agree - its unfathomable that Israel would stop retaliating. But here's my question: Let's say 100 Israelis died every month from the rocket strikes, back when Israel was not retaliating. What's happening now? Now 1000 Palestinians are dying every month - but those 100 Israelis are dying too. It doesn't seem like their current strategy is very effective. I mean....I have no easy answers for this. It's unlikely an Israeli government that refused to retaliate would be able to maintain popular support - it just seems to me that something's gotta give - someone has to be willing to try to embrace a drastic makeover of the way the situation is handled - and I think that Israel is in a better position to do so. You're probably right, I'll give you that one. I could Google "human rights offenses committed by Israel" and list them for you, but I don't see where this point is going so I won't. And I suppose you could do it yourself if you're genuinely curious. I agree completely - and I think that in order for peace to be achieved Israel will have to be the better man - and that could involve political suicide and a lot of sacrifice...but if it works in the end, it would be worth it. And of course, the UN gave away their own land. And of course, they consulted Palestine first. Do you seriously believe Iran should own nukes? Can you not see anything wrong with that? Maybe it's just me, but I feel safe when countries like USA, France, and Israel own nukes, but I'd be terrified if Iran owned nukes... Nuclear weapons should be abolished. It terrifies me that anyone owns them - Iran is the dog that's all bark and no bite - the states is the dog that's all bite and no bark. Make no mistake, if it ever comes to the point where the states has a "good reason" to use nukes, they will. Israel is willing to sit and discuss, I don't see what else you expect. I expect them to be the better man - and to stop the violence to find a solution. I'm not saying it's easy, but I do think it's time for a new approach. Again, Sderot was bombed at for 8 years before Israel did anything- Oferet Yetzuka. Hamas had agreed to stop bombing Sderot if Israel stops that operation. Israel stopped and 3 days later Sderot was bombed again. And here is where Israel needs to be the better man - that kind of change cannot be instant - it will take months, or years - before Palestinian civilians manage to do that. I highly doubt that bombing was condoned by the Palestinian government. I don't get it? When Israel commits human rights offenses you're stunned, but when the rest do you're not?...Why? I don't think you understand how serious this is. A city of innocent citizens was getting attacked by bombs and constantly, for eight years. I can only imagine the American people reacting one way if that ever happend to say... Seattle. Yes, I do think the USA would attack without paying much attention to human rights given that situation, all countries would. And they have (iraq war/911). And how's that working out for them? You expect one side to agree to help it's enemy at getting stronger, even though you claim that side won't be happy until the other is destroyed? I never said Israel should help Palestine get stronger, all I'm trying to say is that any diplomatic solution ends up shafting Palestine in the long run.

Did ICC yesterday :D Did first wing but then had to go. I was suprised at how flawlessly we did it - a bunch of people were undergeared and my guild has never done anything more than 10m normal. I mean, I didn't even die on a boss. Though those trash death explosions did get me twice :(

- Hamas executes 2 for Israeli collaboration
Israel gets away with invasions,breaking peace treaties, bombing civilian neighbourhoods, assasinations by their intelligence service...the list goes on and on. I'm not attempting to say palestine is innocent; indeed they are far from it, but Israel isn't just a victim here. Yes, it was rightfully Israels'....hundreds if not thousands of years ago. That doesn't mean they have or had the right to just invade now. In terms of "assistance", yes, you are correct - there was no military assitance. But the social, economic, and other assistance has been huge. I'll believe that Israel isn't being given special treatment when Iran openly has nukes but is allowed to skip out on a nuclear deweaponization summit. Israel has peace as it's interest, I have no doubt of that...it is the methods I object to. They have proven time and time again they are not willing to be the better man, and that they must retaliate, time and time again, commiting human rights offenses shunned by other developed countries. You think the US would attack without any regards to human rights? Do you not see the stories in the news? The commissions, the inquireies, the panels, the shouts of war crimes at the slightest provocation? The citizens keep the US in line. They may invade, yes, but with far more respect for their opponents than Israel has otherwise shown. Of course Palestine won't be happy with dual states - why should they have to give up which is theirs? Any agreement less than palestine regaining control of the entire region gives palestine the short end of the stick and Israel the gain.- Hamas executes 2 for Israeli collaboration
Not anymore, I'm pretty sure Obama isn't the best president Israel could hope for, to say the least. It is true that he isn't as pro-Israli as Bush. However, America still has a stigma attached that they let Israel get away with anything. Yep, by itself along with the armies of Eygept, Jordan, Syria, Iraq.... Those armies together, x10, don't come close to the equivalent of support from the US. And britian, france, canada, etc...(to a lesser degree) Why should you have to if it was rightfully yours in the first place? But they weren't given the land, they were given a part of the land (less than 40% if I'm not wrong). The rest was conquered through wars Israel didn't even initiate (with the exception of the Six Days War, which was started by Israel after the Israeli intelligence discovered Eygept is about to attack the very same day). If the winners of world war 2 were so desperate to give Israel some land, why didn't they give them some of their own? How would you feel if they just handed Ohio to Israel instead? Israel would certainly have no right to it, but at least the States would be giving away something they had the rights to, instead of coming in and giving away what isn't theirs. Interests? Like what? Did you know that almost 50% of Israel's budget goes straight to security, no questions asked? Human rights offenses, invasion of other territories, you name it, Israel has done it. If any other developed country did these kinds of things the consequences would be dire. However, since it's Israel...the states in particular has made a habit of turning a blind eye. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Israel does have to right to defence - but they have continuously overstepped that. Just like I said, that was the case at first, through wars that was changed. So let's put it back, and avert the wars this time.- Hamas executes 2 for Israeli collaboration
It isn't the media per se that's biased in the favour of Israel - rather the american government. You say Israel has fought some wars by itself - this is true. Palestine has fought all its wars by itself. Let me give you an analogy. You work for a long time to buy a new computer. You have it for a while, you like it, you use it, you treat it well. All of a sudden, your parents decide that since your brother used to have a computer 10 years ago which broke, he should get yours, no questions asked. How would that make you feel? I see Hamas as a resistance movement. Although they have long passed what qualifies as legitimate resistance and now borders on terrorism, their cause is not without base. Israel was theirs, and had been for hundreds and hundreds of years. Because of the horrible atrocities that happened to the Jews during WW2, their interests were put above that of the palestinians, and they were given land that their claim to was in ancient history at best. I doubt there will ever be peace between Israel and Palestine - Hamas is far too radical, and Israel has proven constantly willing to stoop as low as they need to protect their own interests. Best thing to do now is combine the countries, split them in half down the middle, make one half Israel, one half palestine, and hope for the best.- So, what is your current project(s)

Haha. Something tells me they wouldn't be afraid of you. Your friends are [bleep]ing douchebags, sorry but its not ok to steal someone elses stuff because you can't get off your [wagon] and work for stuff. Sooner or later, they will steal from the wrong person, and regret it very much. They ARE the wrong person. And by friends, I kind of just mean people I am aquainted with. I use the term "friend" loosely because I don't really form deep friendships with anyone, but rather I like to associate informally with many people. And yes, they are scum. But thats what you get when you grow up in a hometown where it is easier to score crack than booze in highschool. One of my friends is in jail now for robbing an old woman in a grocery store parking lot. Lol. Fortunately I have gotten out of my town and went to a respectable university. Still, I keep contact with the people I spent 12 years of my life with. A quote from Star Wars for you: "There's always a bigger fish...". There really is. They may consider themselves invulnerable, but if this neighbourhood is as bad as you say it is, there will be someone worse. - Hamas executes 2 for Israeli collaboration
