Nope. Never. Every time people are easily able to figure it out in a matter of seconds.

In the grand scale of things it's probably one of the least important things I can think of.

It's really quite simple. You've set up a phony dichotomy wherein one either supports the killing of all innocent civilians used as "shields" by Hamas, or one is somehow morally obliged to argue that Israel has no right to exist or defend itself.

It's a bullshit dichotomy.

You're arguing an "either/or" situation when in fact there are many other alternatives.

All of the above. Any questions?

I've never even heard of this movie. Granted I'm pretty old, but still.

Also, how dare you slander the cinematic masterpiece that is Weekend at Bernie's?!

Textbook example of moral confusion.

Fun fact; something like 60 percent of all Israelis are Mizrahi Jews from across the Middle East. Both in terms of their physical appearance and their material culture they have far more in common with Arabs than they do with white Europeans. Calling them "white" really doesn't hold much water.

Where's your causality? You're basically arguing that since B happened at the same time as A, therefore B happened because of A, which may be true, but can't simply be assumed.

The country is far more polarized than it has been since the 1850s and 60s. This is an objective fact.

Same with feet and inches for distance.

Because they're teenagers. In the real world nobody actually gives a fuck. Call me weird, but the different formats have never caused me a single instant of confusion in my entire life.

False dichotomy.

The problem is that speaking different languages is not even remotely the same thing as knowing anything about linguistics. People have no idea of how little they actually know about the use of language.
