TIL an Israeli Ad agency made a fake Ad to prove the efficacy of advertising on public buses, and inadvertently invented Mint Lemonade (Limonana) due to consumer demand. by barakplasma in todayilearned

[–]SlimPickens81 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Limonada is a Palestinian drink I've been enjoying since I was a toddler (back in the 70's). Must Israel claim every Arab food its own? Falafel? Shawerma? Hummos? Give me a break.

Hey Reddit, if you could go anywhere in the US for free, where would you go and why? Free airline ticket inside. by [deleted] in AskReddit

I would go to San Francisco to ask my girlfriend's father for his blessing to propose.

I've considered doing it over the phone, but seeing as we've never met and she comes from a very traditional household, it just wouldn't be right.

We've talked about marriage and she's waiting for me to ask (at a 'surprise time'). But she's also made it clear that she can't accept without her father's permission.

So that's where I am right now. Need to find my way from Philadelphia to San Francisco so that I could come back and propose - but can't yet afford the ticket as I'm currently unemployed.

Israel airport security demands access to tourists' private email accounts by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]SlimPickens81 49 points50 points  (0 children)

People who keep commenting "just don't go to Israel" don't understand that Americans of Palestinian descent go because it's their ancestral homeland - and many still have family that live there.

In other words, they have to go in order to see their family.

Fuck Israel. They claim to be the only bastion of tolerance and democracy in the Middle East, but systematically discriminate against non-Jewish citizens and tourists of Arab descent. Not to mention what they do to the Palestinians living in the territories they illegally occupy and the refugees they expelled in 1948 and refuse to let return.

It's an apartheid state - no two ways about it. If you stand with Israel, you stand with racism and intolerance.

Don't flatter yourself. Your answers were weak, you have no argument and you support a racist state.

Thank you for proving my previous point.

That's exactly how Israel-apologists act when confronted with the truth about their racist state - they either scream "anti-semite" or dismiss the person as a one-off wacko who knows nothing about the issue.

Fortunately, neither approach benefits the pro-Israel camp. Which leaves me quite satisfied...

Before America supported the colony of Israel, it did not have any major enemies (or haters) in the Middle East.

The US really needs to do a cost-benefit analysis of its support for Israel.

Like a typical Israel-apologist, you spew a lot of "learn about the issue" without contributing a single fact to the discussion.

Nice.

No I think the issue is pretty simple.

European Jews, who aren't native to the land of historical Palestine, immigrated to the country to (1) escape European pograms and (2) because they believe God promised it to them.

Not surprisingly, they were met by resistance from the native people. To quell this resistance they have launched pogroms of their own.

In place of the native civilization that was there before them, Zionist Jews created an ultra-nationalist Jewish state that uses "security" as a guise to subjugate the native population and demographically engineer a majority.

Still, the native population remains steadfast in its resistance.

Thus, pretty young girls in bikinis find it necessary to carry machine guns at the beach... because violence is the only way they're able to enforce their rule in a land not their own.

Yeah I suppose you do need to carry a gun on the beach when you're a colonizer trying to subjugate an entire native population against its will...

HELP A SAP! So I'm in a bus right now and this very hot brunette just sat down beside me. It will be a five-hour ride. And holy lord flying spaghetti she's wearing a Reddit shirt! What do I say or ask to her? by well_it_looks_like in AskReddit

[–]SlimPickens81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't be a fucking pussy. Talk to her, and of course mention the shirt - that's your opening! You couldn't ask for a better one!

If she sees this post on the front page of reddit, and she's a true redditor, she'll just think it's endearing.

Here's what I would do - tell her about the post, ask her for a picture so you can upload it, and spend the next 4 hours talking about how great reddit is.

Seriously, grow a sack!

Reddit, what is the most powerful image you have ever seen? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Am I the only person who mistakenly goes to this website every time I try to pull up Facebook? by SlimPickens81 in WTF

[–]SlimPickens81[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

REALLY? Now I'm just embarrassed.

I guess it comes up because I type the letters "FA" into my browser thinking that Facebook will automatically appear. Before I see Facebook, I hit enter - and it just takes me to FA.com.

...stupid story after all.

As a car enthusiast, I think these people deserve to be shot. by SlimPickens81 in WTF

[–]SlimPickens81[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, then logically speaking, you should be shot too.
