I found this graffiti spraypainted on a wall outside of Venice. There appears to be a Hammer and Sickle next to a red star on the side of these words "paolo d. libero ganzer boia!" Can anyone tell me what this means and what the significance is?

What procedure would the UN have to go through to legally abolish the obviously unfair concept of permanent member states of the Security Council?

Why can't we pay the same respects to Palestine?

To believe that Israel is justified in these actions? (Read report before answering please)

Has the US government under Bush done anything notable toward censoring William Powell's "Anarchist Cookbook"?

Despite the fact that there is nearly no evidence existing to prove that Peltier was responsible for the killing of the FBI agents... even if he was, given the circumstances of the agents moving into the Indian territory, was it even so wrong to kill them?

Which is a claim I often hear, what was with the whole British Mandate of PALESTINE thing after the collapse of the Ottoman empire? Surely the brits should've known that if Palestine never existed it would be a silly name indeed to randomly assign one of their mandates to...

Okay, so even back when this poll was taken over a year ago, not only did the majority of Iraqis want us out, but over half supported attacks on our soldiers. This number has grown since then mind you. Now, since we are supposedly bringing "democracy" to Iraq, don't you think it behooves us to leave Iraq since that's what the Iraqis want and have voted for as a whole? Or is this the kind of democracy where the people's opinion doesn't count?

Okay, so, working under the theory that if I ask a question twice I'll get answer...

The significance and life of the twelfth imam?

In your opinion, if a Zapatista party were established in the united states, would it have a positive effect on the nation or a negative effect on the nation?

I've recently become aware of a belief system called humanistic Islam, unfortunately, there are very few resources on this. If anyone knows about this system of belief could they please tell me a little bit about it and/or supply some resources for further research.

Oh sure, you can answer sarcastically... but that'll only lose you points...

The morons in the Islamophobic hate industry have struck again. Apperantly the VT shootings are Islam's fault because the murderer used the nom de guerre "Ismail Axe". Apparently because the Arabic term for Ishmael "Ismail" was used, this proves he's a muslim. Just disregard the fact that he repeatedly emulated Jesus christ and not Isa, the Islamic Jesus. Just ignore the fact that nearly all Koreans in America are Christians, right?

Well cons, is Islam or Liberalism to blame for the VT shootings?

Islam: http://www.prophetofdoom.net/Islam_in_Action_Virgi...

Liberalism: http://www.thebulletin.us/site/news.cfm?newsid=182...

I've heard you guys say either one... Even though the shooter was almost certainly a Christian, and seems more like an anarchist than a liberal or conservative?

Seriously, I keep hearing these people call suicide bombers cowards. But, cowardice usually involves the impulse for self-preservation, and an unwillingness to face an enemy. This is not a question of ethics and suicide bombers, or right and wrong, but what is cowardly about suicide bombing?

Seriously, what was liberal/socialist about hitler's philosophy? He supported the blending of church and state (http://nobeliefs.com/Hitler1.htm), he supported the severance of government funds to health and mental patients, he supported militarism, he supported a government with no checks or balances, he was strongly opposed to immigration, he was opposed to welfare.

What is liberal or socialist about these qualities?

In the Phillipine-American war, US marines ran into a style of warrior who could put themselves into a state where they would feel no pain, and only stop fighting when their wounds caused them to keel over dead, not yield to their pain. Many of these raids would consist of Filipinos with machetes charging at American squads, being shot up but taking several marines with them because of their ability to continue ignore pain (leading eventually to the general issue status of the Colt .45 in the American army).

Go back a millennium and you'll see Norse warriors who fought with animal like ferocity. Not heeding defense, not heeding wounds, not heeding burns or the freezing cold on their often naked or half naked bodies. What my question is, could these two styles of fighting be related and if so, are they caused by the same thing?

I hear from a lot of people that France owes us for something that happened 62 years ago. Ignoring the fact that the British contributed a huge amount to operation overlord, do we owe France for saving our butts in the revolution through supplying us with the majority of our munitions, as well as troops, ships and other help that America would've note existed without?

If France owes us for 1944, do we owe France for 1776?
