Sadly, these galahs come from *downunder (as do HQ Holdens).

The residents of Nabi Saleh and their supporters who are international activists.

It cannot be disputed that Palestinians do and have used children for political gain. Nor can it be disputed that Israelis have used excessive and lethal force against.

In this particular instance they are protesting about the expansion of the Israeli settlement of Halamish. Halamish is not a border settlement like we are led to believe most settlements are. It is 10 miles from the Israel border.

It has the constant protection, and therefore tacit approval, of the Israeli government and violates a multitude of international agreements and laws regarding occupation. Each week there are protests which are met with a military presence against an unarmed mob. These protests are monitored by Amnesty International. Unfortunately their site is down at the moment and I can't find any reliable links to this other than the BBC which says little. However you can read the following if you want to know more.

I guess the crux of my argument is this: To what extend does the use of children for political purposes compare to the often brutal and expanding occupation of a homeland? What is the right thing for these villagers to do under the circumstances?

There are warning sensors starting at least 2 blocks up the street. Several yellow lights start flashing on each intersection next to a sign that says "OVERHEIGHT". It's really hard to not notice.
Here's the
street view if you want to pretend to drive up the street.
I think for the most part people are just idiots.>> ^mxxcon:
It looks like many trucks are rented. Perhaps drivers are not aware of the size of their trucks or just not experienced enough to realize that they now have to keep in mind height.
If they can't raise that bridge or make thinner support, then they def should dig a deeper road under it.



Oh man that would be bitchin if the Google street view car caught that semi trying to go through. Apparently he was smart enough to know to turn right and go around though.

Bridge was later caught using Performance Enhancing I-Beam. Then he was stripped of his metals.

In reply to this comment by oritteropo:
*dead this video does not exist

It is your opinion that they are saying Romney. I've listened to it several times, very loudly, asked nearby people to listen with me, and all agree that they are chanting Ryan.

As I noted above, it was reported by people who were actually there, and by the New York Times, that the crowd was shouting Romney. Listen to the unedited c-span clip and not the doctored MSNBC clip.

Regardless, what is news-worthy is that Romney is a spectacular failure as a candidate, and that Joe Scarborough, a Republican, is ashamed of him. Criticizing a candidate isn't exactly the same thing as blatantly trying to get the other one elected though, is it?

Joe Scarborough isn't a Romney supporter and never was. He famously declared Governor Romneys campaign to be dead last april. I don't know what kind of republican he is but apparently its the kind that promotes the democrats and slams his own party:

The point is that Joe takes his marching orders from the MSNBC HQ. This was clearly an attempt to play into the democratic narrative that republicans are becoming less enthusiastic about the campaign in the hope they will believe their candidate can't win and not turn out to vote. This position is in lockstep with the rest of the network coverage. It's blatant shilling for Obama. Does this surprise me or anyone? No. The entirety of the mainstream media is bitterly partisan and unashamedly so. I just thought the sift would be interested that they were lied to.

Ok Dag, you got an independent reference for your productivity comment, or is that just based on your observations? Because the only people I see proclaiming that Australian labour has low productivity are people like Rinehart - rich people who would benefit from paying people less. I have seen no good evidence of low Australian labour productivity.>> ^dag:
To be fair - I didn't hear her say that Australians should be paid $2 per day.
And this might sting my Australian mates - but productivity is low in Australia. I'm in Canberra - which is probably low productivity HQ for the whole country.

@dag yep I'm sorry, I have a real super hate for her, and of course why I skewed the title. I have bias, and sincerely wish no offence to you or anyone pointing that out (sincerely).
I exaggerated the title.

P.S. She can go fuck herself
