Because humans are sinful and terrible at applying what their holy books say.
I hate to compliment Ole Miss, but...

I ain't got no time to read a bunch of gobbledygook written by a bunch of eggheads. I saw the movie with the old blue-eyed Jew himself.

This is true, and minor religious sects that believe in the same prophets, messiahs, and god slaughter one another over those trivialities. 17in born again warlords.
To illustrate: imagine me wanting to decapitae preacherdawg, rape his wife and children before burning them alive because I think Calvinist predestination is stupid.
And to goats previous post about “people aren’t dumb, and they know”- if you think people in general, and especially young people, do their own research and make slow, deliberate decisions based on logical evidence and historical facts readily available to them instead of silly social stands based on snippets, YOU sir live in just as much of a imaginary world as a homosexual protesting for Hamas.
One truth is inescapable: we are living in a giant Simpsons episode. With the entire worlds known history and facts at our fingertips, we are now a human race that possesses all human knowledge, yet has no wisdom.
Thank you for not wanting to decapitate me among other things.
There's some really good nuance & thought-provoking insights in this thread.
And there are some posts that look like Ed Orgeron trying to do long division.

There are idiots still saying Leach wasn't a good coach. Ya think we can agree on much bigger issues?
I have to wonder what next week's fashion protest will be about. First, we had BLM, then the Trans thing. Now it's pro-Hamas/ Palestine. It does make me laugh that LGBTQ+ openly supports a Muslim movement, people who would kill them.
Nope, I don’t. People who think Leach was a bad coach for Mississippi State ignore all the historical facts as well. It’s simple laziness and overconfidence in their own assumptions.
Having been involved in few Republican Party events and races and meeting with some important officials in the past, I'd get the usual "this will never leave the campus," "it's just crazy college kids and a few profs," and "wait until they have to get real jobs" kind of comments. Republicans ignored college campuses, except for sports and donations, and in that vacuum the left, especially the radical left moved in and established themselves. Far left ideas are mainstreamed now, the Uber woke become judges and leaders, and people with women's studies degrees join our government, our bureaucracy and non-profits and have nice careers creating rules and regulations that support their pet theories. They get jobs, they influence institutions and our govt that manages us because many are relentless in their goal to change society. Most of us have families, hobbies etc. so we don't pay attention and just call them crybullies or laugh about them being triggered about something. They are changing the culture nationally. For instance, how long will it take before every form used by businesses, the medical industry, govt asks for preferred pronouns and gender? Laugh all you want but such people are not deterred by memes.
Or applying it depending on what they focus on. Israel might go all Old Testament on the Palestinians.
How in The 17 did you go there? Just saying some say the Palestinians are more blood Jews than the German Jews in Israel and some of them are actually Christians. It’s way more complicated than most understand.
what’s wrong with knowing facts?
I'll bite although I haven't read this exchange. What's a blood Jew and what distinguishes a blood Jew from a German Jew?
I am good with some collate
Religion - why did the Crusaders burn all the libraries? Religion. You know who developed the steam engine? Here’s a hint it wasn’t an American. Steam engine was around before Christ was born in Egypt.
You let religious groups control the govt and they justify killing due to their religious beliefs. If Jesus had wanted us to establish Theological States then he would have done so. Instead, he said, to care for poor, weak, incarcerated and be kind and welcoming to all. Nations are built by men, not God.
Sermon on the mount preached about caring for others, not killing them. You see the flaws with backing Christian Nationalism? It’s not of Christ.
the DNA OF Palestinians is closer to being the descendants of Abraham than the ones in Israel. Jews in Israel came from Europe and around the world and have centuries of mixing DNA with other races. Take out the religious factor and it’s a gray area of who is Gods chosen people? It’s complicated is all I am saying. Yettish is a German thing, not a Jewish thing.
tater, absolutely. I'm not like happy about kiffens or anything, but I don't find him as hateable as most om coaches. Man's got a Labrador, for pete's sakes. Albeit one with a stupid name.
Best summary of what's going on at the Ivy League 'protests' I've read in a while. The girl interviewed demanded that the university give them food and water because they purchased meal plans.
considering that Israel had been bombing palestine day and night for 7 months now and have only killed around 32,000 gazans i would say that they are showing great restraint and accuracy. i know ,only 32,000 some might say, but if they were just wanting to slaughter Palestinians needlessly then they would have killed a whole lot more than they have.

We really need a new work other than elite to describe people that come from affluent families and/or have worked there way up through the shells of what were once competent and trustworthy institutions.
Well I don't think anybody has a credible number right now. 32,000 would be a pretty good number historically compared to the number of Hamas members killed (which I'm guessing Israel has a decent number for?), but I would not be shocked if it ultimately turns out to be even better. Just don't think Hamas is going to do anything other than significantly overstate the civilian casualties, and even in the fog of war, don't know that they'd realistically accidently end up near the real number.
Your slander of universities aside, I tried to think of a word that would fit and came up with nothing. Trying to look it up, this is about the best I could do but don't really think it works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toff
I'd think bourgeoisie is the classic antonym of what you're trying to come up with?
See. That's the thing. You don't have to pick a side. Both parties in this conflict are at fault.
Choosing a side won't stop the fighting. Ever.
Like teenagers in a family, college students are the adolescents of society. Nobody should give a rat's a$$ what they think. Go to college, choose a degree that pays, study, graduate, get a job, start paying taxes and contributing to society, and then just maybe someone will listen to you.
House of Bourbon style man that brings me back. Good times, well until the heads came off and all.
I wasn't slandering universities. I was referring to some universities (but truthfully, which isn't slander), and also media institutions (pretty much any of note that have existed for more than a decade or so), formerly non-partisan (or non-partisan'ish) government bodies, companies, non-profits, etc.
Bourgeoisie sort of captures the class aspect, but not sure it captures the incompetence and the abandonment of reason and logic.
Bourgeoisie would generally be the opposite of campus protestors. Jeez louise Johnson, you really need to brush up on your Marx.
I don't know if it's an American thing specifically, but I'm learning not to underestimate people's ability to be offended on behalf of others or to adopt the oppression of others and make it about themselves. It seems to cross age and politics as well. Comfortable people love to create a persecution story.
I guess it's how we feel alive in a very wealthy and free society? You got these comfy Ivy League kids pretending to be starved in the building they willingly broke into to accomplish absolutely nothing. And on probably the complete opposite end politically, how many Gagsden vanity plates have I a seen on $80k luxury pickups lately? Yeah man, you are so tread on you can afford a $1500 car note and the extra $50 bucks for the vanity plate (check made payable to the entity allegedly doing the treading no less!).
Pretty sure the proletariat would be the opposite of the protesters? I mean, technically just responsible productive adults would be the opposite, but if you're putting it in Marxist terms, they're a bunch of spoiled brats being nonproductive while living off mommy and daddy's money or government loans that they aren't going to pay back. That seems much closer to the bougeoisie than the proletariat. I honestly thought you had used antynom on accident but wasn't going to call it out.
Or am I still missing what you're saying?
1. I think you only feel that way because the actual fighting does not involve us, and it's not on our soil. Yet. So YOU don't feel like you have to pick a side, today at least. The bigger picture is, the real fight is good vs. evil, and we will pretty much all have to pick one or the other at some point. I've already decided which side I'll be on.
2. The US (and Russia) choosing a side sure did help end World War II. You can bet that if we really, purposefully chose a side and actively participated in Gaza... we could put an end to that **** in about 5 minutes. Some people wouldn't appreciate the outcome, but we could end the fighting. Our government is trying to appease both sides currently, while all the fighting is over there and certain politicians need certain votes.
DNA sounds a lot better than blood. Mediterranean people are genetically alike.
Speaking of choseness, I'm Catholic. We're God's chosen people.*** He likes others too.
Not yet but it has been simplified other heads. All palestisns are evil and must die.
where is this 85% number, I have not seen that. Was the same kind of number that Putin puts out after he kills anyone that dares question him.
They have not had an election in over a decade. Hamas only got into power because the previous govt was so corrupt. No elections since.
Just to be clear, F**k Hamas ! But do not assume everything Israel does is right or should be defended. Lots of women and children been killed that had nothing to do with any of this.
Middle East… who knew this would be a mess? Just all of us.

The double standard these activists have for human rights in the Arab world and in Africa where Boko-Haram is cranking out slaves.
Palestinians want to kill Jews. Your decision to doubt how much they support hamas is immature.
