I am trying to be patient or even understand this thread at all...
If provided a factual time-line where is the need for statistics?
Unless one is going to microanalyze particular profiles and characteristics.
Kix said it right in the begining, anyone exposed to facts will find statistics useless.
Reading a time-line gives someone a quick reference to historical facts and events over a period of time.
"Learing the truth" requires some effort in research, reading and comprehensive thought.
I should stop here because I am often accused of being callous to various liberal posters here.
mmm..nah, no I'm not...
Even though they "swear" they are not biased , however, armed with facts they typically lean towards a progressive-leftist initiative..
Here's a fact, the internet is loaded with accredited, reliable non biased information.
Isn't it curious how they ask facetious questions concerning politically propagandistic and controversial matters and behave as if they maintain a neutral position while they claim to know that nothing is real.
This thread must be an example of cliches like "ignorance is bliss" and suggestions like, 'who knows'? or "nothing is as it seems"??
Sooo, when I steer attention to or make a call on such suggestive and facetious stances I am made out to be a malcontent..
heh, fuck you.

I want to see facts on all the violence both ways and how the UN has called it. We get it in pieces. I do not want an opinion I just want to see ALL the facts and how the UN declared it.

Try www.nationmaster.com . That is a pretty good site, and I get a lot of information off of that for school work. It has statistics on just about anything concerning comparitive and contrasting data on hundreds of topics for every country in the world.

"Opposite is true as well, as those rockets coming from the Palestanian territories don't launch themselves....."

>>>Only difference is, the numbers, sizes, weights, countries of origin and tail numbers of those rockets got reported (ad nauseum) by the media.

I was not really looking for info for a thread although it would be a great discussion. I was just trying to be clear on this issue in my mind.

Crow you always have good input....and you are witty about it

I am trying to form an opinion based on facts not political parties. I could not really start a thread on it. I do not have enough information.
