Who defines who's a "Terrorist"?

If a sovereign nation moves on another nation would that be considered terrorist activity. Why is when that same nation protecting it's fights back it's considered terrorist activities. We'll I guess you have to look at who is handing out the names. My limited understanding leads me to believe Israelis and Palestinians have been fighting for decades over land that truthfully is no longer sacred or holly. Two sides that are mass delusional fighting a war with 1st century mentalities in a 21th century world. All the while missing the whole point of what they are fighting for. The God I serve doesn't care who lives where the so-called Messiah walked. He cares about how we treat each other and live. The whole point of the message in any religion. Blind ambition and human greed and pompousness has clouded the world judgement. Any war in the name of religion or God is unjust. God includes everything and is not separated in to little religions. It is beyond the scope of the human mind. Are arrogance in ourselves would have us believe we are its only being and it's all about us...... Religious fanatics contemplate that.   

What if we took ourselves out of God's equation, maybe that would stop the wars over religion.

Is Israel constant attacks  towards Palestinians on the GAZA STRIP an act of terrorism? You be the judge?  Read the history and this recent story.

Dinner and Dialog

Never underestimate the power of a good conversation. I have seen someone meek in good appearance, to put it nicely, pull some of the badest females. The trick is to get them where the conversation can take a voice of its own. Loud crowded clubs are probably not the best place to spark it up with an intellectual. 

Recently I started attending an event a friend puts on at her house called Black Dinner and Dialog. I call it an event because it always goes down. We usually talk form 7pm-4am. Thas a long time so you know the topics are interesting. Its the most exciting time I have had in a while. A group of friends of friends of friends get together and discuss whatever we choose. There is no topic too embarrassing. There is a short list of rules.

1. No names in stories leave the house

2. Don't disrespect anyone. 

3. Don't take anything personal.

The purpose of the group is to inspire dialog between Black women and men in order to bring the gap in communication and relationships we face. 

The environment is a great place to express your views, practice your conversation skills and get a perspective from other individuals. But most of all if you are knowledgeable about a subject it gives you time to shine in front of the opposite sex. A friend of mine who shall remain nameless (following the rules) was able to teach and break down topics to the point where every women was hanging on to his every word. 

The idea of the event is not come and show off, although if you got it flaunt, it is about coming together to get information that will enlightening our efforts to be more understanding and push towards living more fulfilled lives.

Dinner and Dialog

It is about time we start talking again. By we I mean men and women. I recently attended my first Dinner and Dialog session. It set up by a friend of mine. I must say I was both impressed and totally hooked on the idea. Being the conversationalist I am, the topics and no punches held approached to a men vs women dialog was overwhelming. We discussed topics from, the " Buying drinks issue at the club" to "Is there an explosion of gay or bi-sexual relationships in the African American community."

It has been about three weeks since we had a session and I still have the same smile and anxious look on my face anticipating the next session. Its great idea for every group of friends do this. Besides the great food it is the bringing the fellowship, communication and connection between men and women back that is so appealing. Our next meeting is Nov. 8th. I will post the contents and revelation from that meeting soon.
