Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I just want everybody to know that I'm not Jewish and have never been to Israel. I've always liked tanks ever since I was a little kid. Back in the 1970s my parents would get me toy tanks made out of die-cast metal with rubber treads. I had quite a collection.
Thats a pretty weird way to start a conversation. Perhaps we are missing some context ..
With all the fighting going on between the Palestinians and the Israelis, I want everybody to know that I am not on either side. I declare myself neutral. I'm a fan of their war machine, but not their politics.
I don’t believe every Jew is a bad person so if you were I don’t see a problem. I don’t like putting everyone in a box. We all have bad people in our family and that’s not a reflection of who you are. Isn’t to me anyway. A perfect example is during WWII dachshunds were treated terribly in Europe & UK. People would kick dachshunds because they were German decent. That ticks me off because I have one and even though they can be a little jerk at times they are so loving. My mom went to Israel three times not to worship Jews but to see biblical places and where Jesus was when on earth.
Very well said, and very true. Every single group of people on this planet has good, and bad people. Imagine, just caring about people, salvation, and not what color of their skin is, or where they’re from.
I also could care less about either side, what I care about is that each side has people going to hell right now. That’s very sad.
Exactly! I’ve been watching biblical documentaries on YouTube and the ones talking about Adam & Eve explaining all skin colors and different facial features came from them. One is really long and says there’s only one race, the human race. I believe it’s another lie they told for centuries to devide us. I’ll see if I can find them.
I do believe different nationalities and people from different regions are very different but not because of skin color. We all are a product of our raising and environment.
Yay 👏👏👏
I was supposed to go to Israel last November, but the trip was canceled. I was never so happy in my life. I don’t care if I ever go to Israel ever for my entire life. Ever ever ever.!
