I can think of one immediately that may fight the US for that title..

Fuck do I ever relate to this. I probably have over 200 titles in my Steam library that I redeemed from Humble Bundles and have never installed. Insane.

Without a doubt.

Teeling is indeed a good Irish whiskey. I did a tour of the Dublin Liberties Distillery around the corner from Teeling, and brought a bottle home. Irish whiskey is very nice!

I love a good milk stout as well. But I've been hooked on Guinness since my trip to Ireland in January. Can't get enough of the stuff!

I didn't intend to say being pro-Israel means you're okay with everything they do. What I'm trying to say is that in my experience, people interpret "pro-Israel" as being in support of the way in which Israel exists, namely an apartheid an ethnostate.

I'm envious of your trips to Palestine. One day I'll get there. I have friends who said they will take me one day.

I think it's important to remember that for most people, anti-Israel does not mean Israel cannot exist at all. It is that the Israel we know, cannot continue to exist in the way that it is. Similarly to being anti-South African apartheid did not mean all the settlers had to be leave, it meant the country had to fundamentally change the way it operates and treated the its citizens.

To add, if you are calling yourself pro-Israel, I think you should be aware that for most people that means you are a-okay with how Israel has been oppressing and murdering Palestinians for decades.

I've said this before and I will say it again. This period of time will go down in history as a particularly dark time in human history. The fact that not only is this happening, but efforts to stop it from people with real power to change it is incredibly minimal. The world powers letting this happen is perhaps worse that the Zionists doing it.

Why are you bringing out Arafat in the 90s? Your comment lacks relevance to what you're replying to. Arafat has nothing to do with the fact that Israel wants Palestinians to leave Gaza.

Everyone including the US government knows that Hamas will survive this assault. It's not about Hamas, it never was. Hamas simply provided Israel with the excuse to carry out an ethnic cleansing that they've been wanting to do for decades.

I just ordered a pedal steel guitar yesterday and there's a chance it will arrive today. If it does, I will be spending some quality time with my new instrument. I have a rehearsal this afternoon for a gig next week as well.

I'll be spending time with my wife, perhaps playing some video games with my best friend, and likely playing some disc golf tomorrow.
