Comments on: From Chavez’ believe it or not…mouth http://devilsexcrement.com/2009/08/09/from-chavezs-believe-it-or-not-mouth/ Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.

There is plenty of blame to go around in the middle east, on all fifteen zillion sides of it.

Your comments show why precisley that region is going to be stuck with war, strife and death for years to come.

Personally, I deplore the attitudes of most of the leadership in the region. Neither Israeli, nor Palestinian leaders have been able to come to any agreement worth celebrating because most of them think like you.

While you and I agree vis a vis Chavez, I hope you look deep into yourself and ask if you really truly think that your attitude regarding Palestinians will do much for the much needed dialogue we need to solve our differences.

Frankly, you sound just like the Chavistas we regularly diss.

Of course not, not with painting swastikas etc, not with all that Thugo has been saying repeatedly over the years.

Feeling bold next to Mrs K? Fashion faux pas? Damn….

It implies both fear and hatred, where none exists. I couldn’t care less for the sexual preferences of anyone, although the leader of the sad sack palestinians seems to. After all, he died in 2004 while this activity in Gaza seemed to be ongoing… (palestinians fleeing to Israel for freedom! Not for economic gain, but for freedom!)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3211772.stm Aids ridden Arafat was their leader, was he not? Isn’t this sort of behavior just what Chavez has done as well, “Do as I say, not as I do”?
Funny to bring up Gandhi as well, although a saint of sorts to the Indians of Hindi faith, not so much for the religions of marginalized minorities such as the Sikhs, the Muslims, the Christians, the Jews… any religion is tolerated in India, more so if it’s ours? and the denial of freedom for all views, is not at all different from Hugo. peas in a pod.

Keep seeing the world that way and you’re going nowhere.

I’m appalled by the cultural mindset of marc in calvary.

Going back to Venezuela: that is why I consider a channel like German ZDF or ARD or what people know in Northern Europe would hurt Chavez much more than Globo. In fact, I think Globo only helps to put off ninis…because it simply does not stick to the facts (VTV is much worse, but again: we do need to be more kosher than the rabbi in certain things)
