To quote slashdot; 'You must be new here'.

We do this often. It is called the art of conversation.

And the world wide WoW player counts a good several millions, Israel's jewish population counts for a good 4 million or so.

And you're still a moron.


Israel's Jewish population is between 5 and 6 million. That's also incidentally the number of players WoW has last time I checked. You can call me a moron all you want, but given your lack of any substantive rebuttal of my statements it just makes you look childish.

However this statement just goes to support my point. The state of Israel exists dispite the fact that it only enjoys support in the region from a small minority of the population.

I wouldn't insult regulars for many reasons. Nor would I say that anyway, because I'm usually one who started the arguement (not here, I don't post here much).

I use spelt, but thats because I'm British, and try not to use American spellings (I fail at it alot though).

Noooo!!! I thought that the British were better than that! "A lot". A-space-L-O-T! Two words! My dreams of superior British grammar, dashed upon the rocks!

Didn't you hear? The Scotts put the head of English against an old tree trunk and took an axe down on it. When the head started rolling down the hill, observers didn't get grossed out, they enjoyed it.

Last time I referred to that as a dialect, I was called ignorant and intolerent of other cultures, and given the suggestion to go away to somewhere like Cambridge. I am telling them you said that.

That's a total population count, it includes all sorts, many of whom are not jewish.

You compare the erection of a nation for people who've been genocided merely for their racial blood lineage (one may say, DNA even) to the preservment of a trivial minoric mere short fan-flic of an Internet game...if you are not a moron, we'll have to invent a new word to describe the depths of the idiocy you have sunked to.

You had it coming...

Wow, this is the first time that I've ever seen a news topic devolve into a grammar fight. Good job, morons for arguing about something completely idiotic, trivial, and irrelevant.
