		<description>Probably the biggest advantage of staying in a hostel is that they are very social places. If you stay in a hotel it isn’t often that you’ll interact with that many people, but in a hostel it’s nearly impossible to avoid.</description>

		<description>this was pretty funny. I haven&#039;t heard the song. Interesting how you can tie Kobe Bryant being a bad person into just about anything if you try hard enough.</description>

		<description>I had never heard of Godwin&#039;s Law, but it sounds like a good point. Comparing someone to Hitler when you don&#039;t like them is often just very lazy argument. One thing that I&#039;m glad no one has busted my balls about so far - &quot;The Worst Kind of Racism&quot; as dubbed in this article is clearly hyperbole. Physical violence is obviously a worse step on the racism ladder, the highest rung of said ladder being genocide, as far as I can tell. A better, more precise name for what I talk about in the post would be &quot;the worst kind of racist language&quot;, but that isn&#039;t nearly as catchy.</description>

		<description>Side note about bringing up Hitler in arguments:  Godwin&#039;s Law
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law
(the part about its traditional usage, how someone who brings up the Nazi comparison automatically loses the argument)
It&#039;s somewhat more relevant here, as it&#039;s talking about international conflict, but still - the author of the article totally loses. Godwin&#039;s Law. :)</description>

		<description>So, I do believe you have successfully built a case showing why this guy is an idiot. That accomplishment, in my opinion, is somewhat akin to building a successful case showing why water-boarding is torture. Many people will agree with you right away, because as intelligent people, they already knew that he was an idiot (or already recognized water-boarding as torture). There will also be a great number of people who disagree, and they won&#039;t read it, and they will continue to be unconvinced. If you could use this blog to reach the uninformed masses, they would probably just call you a muslim lover, and continue to think the way they do. However, you do shine as a beacon to the people who read the article, and hated it, but couldn&#039;t crystallize in their own minds exactly what it was about it they hated. Well done.</description>

		<description>Well done, Curtis. It was a great rebuttal. It&#039;s just frustrating to see how fear-mongering Americans like Rosenblum are concerned with Israel (Well, he probably has Israeli citizenship judging by his name). People lump Israel and the US together as if they were one inseperable entity.

Israel is it&#039;s own country. It doesn&#039;t rely on the US for anything more than money and weapons to continue its plans of creating &quot;Eretz Israel&quot; (Greater Israel). This plan includes ethnic-cleansing and an occupation filled with torture, murder, and suffering. And then more ethnic cleansing.

Americans should stop fearing Israel&#039;s &quot;safety&quot; as Israelis have never really been the victims. Before it&#039;s creation, the Irgun and the Stern Gang were terrorizing Palestinians and Brits alike with muders, bombings, and intimidation in order to force a state. Their heads were on British terrorist watchlists. In 1948, these terrorists became the first heads of state and have been overly aggressive towards their neighbors ever since.

They have a very healthy supply of nuclear weapons and military might that rivals the most powerful nations. In fact, Israel has become nothing but a liability and a grave risk to Americans everywhere because of it&#039;s heavy influence on our foreign policy.

Israeli interests are not our interests, despite what apologists for that dastardly nation want to make us believe. Our interest does not rely on a 100+ year old philosophy that considers one group of people as &quot;superior beings&quot; but relating all others to mere animals:

&quot;If you were to compare Jewish to a non-Jewish soul, it would be like comparing a human&#039;s soul to an animal&#039;s&quot; (One of the most popular Zionist slogans).

As an American, and a human, I would never be concerned with the safety of those only trying to mean harm to others. We should not go down in history as the defenders of the bad guys. I thought we learned from that mistake the many times we did it in the past (Pinochet, Marco, etc). It IS time for change.</description>
