"We Agree": The Game

GUEST POST BY The CandyMan

This is the post on which we will play "We Agree" in the comments section. Everyone is welcome to join the game. Please read the rules of "We Agree" in their entirety before playing. The rules can be found on the previous post, "Rules of the Game."

Remember, questions and comments about the game should be applied to the previous rules post. The only comments made here should be comments that are part of the game.

I'll start the ball rolling in the comments.

Good luck!

We agree that there has been little progress towards an Israeli/Palestinian peace deal since Rabin was assassinated by a Jewish zealot.

We agree that the second intifada started the day after Prime Minister Sharon made a visit to the Temple Mount.

>We agree that the second intifada started the day after Prime Minister Sharon made a visit to the Temple Mount.

We agree that there is good reason to believe this to be an excuse and this intifada was planned ahead of time and violence had already occured prior to his visit.

We agree, that if you REALLY believe it was sparked by Sharon, then you basically believe that the Palestinians are no different than your average pit bull with no control whatsoever, just barks and bites at anything that ticks him off.

We agree this game IS interesting :)

We agree that Pope Benedict's decision to visit a synagogue this Passover is an opportunity for constructive interfaith dialogue.

We agree that a legally married American male now appears to be almost six months pregnant.

Holy Hyrax said...

We agree that it's impossible for a male to be pregnant, and that this "male" still kept all of his female reproductive parts so....

We all agree MLK was a great man and its shame more could not follow in his line.

We all agree this game can be interesting when people construct statements that are not open for debate.

We agree that even though people try to remain open minded, when someone comes up with a differing opinion it is often hard to not say "you're wrong, idiot!".

We agree that the law does not necessarily equal justice.

We agree that giving full custody to a known abuser who hadn't had a drug test even though it was court ordered twice within six months is absolute insanity.

We agree that lower court judges make arbitrary decisions based on their own feelings rather than case law because they know that the cost of an appeal is prohibitive.

Baal Devarim said...

TCM:
"We agree that all people are born equal."

We agree that all people, even while born different from each other in many ways, deserve to be treated equally.

We agree that 'equal' means different things to different people, as does 'deserve' and, oh yeah, "...sexual relations with that woman."

We agree that I equally deserve to have s..... uh, chocolate.
