You really should brush up on the Queen's English BM - not becoming at all to question a man's eloquence. 
You seem to be having a catastrophic sense of humour failure this morning. Cheer up!

Perhaps. You should co-author a book about how people should get over genocial anti-semitic maniacs claiming jews should be fried and fed to the dogs. It will be a bestseller in the Arab/Muslim world. Guaranteed!

Still grumpy today FD? 
Why continue to live in the past and fester over posts by guys who have long ago left DF? Chill man.

You're not hiding your bitterness very well FD.
Unlike your 'sad gang', I'm quite sure that Kanelli does not need the help of others to make her arguments, nor any help with any publication she may choose to write.
Show some love man, chill.

Shafique

kanelli , your vocabulary is quite limited for a published co-author.

If only you got paid by the sarcastic comment and diagnosis, you'd be rich right now.
As for fantasising about k's success as an author - it really is eating you up inside, isn't it? Chill man.

Wow, I hadn't realised what a wealth of talent we had on DF! A man with a big gun and a big blog, a lady co-author and a French Naval Captain.
I feel humbled.
I won't make any jokes about that being a weapon in your pocket Shafique, or are you just pleased to see BM?

You should feel humbled indeed. I'm starting to feel sorry for your 'sad gang' - I'm even thinking of helping you guys out in an argument or two, as it is getting embarrassing the way you're all getting creamed in every discussion!!

Ok, let me start:
"kanelli - I'm sure that your punctuation isn't as good as our gallant, gallic, action man herve. You are wrong to call him Inspector Clueless and didn't have his courage to pay out $20,000 to publish his outstanding, dare-devil narrative of man in burqa against the evil Dubai empire! You're just jealous of his Frenchiness aren't you - go on admit it. You haven't fought for your country after all..."
Sorry, can't continue with a straight face - I keep thinking of how proud he was that he had 200 hits on youtube. PMSL!!
Cheers,
Shafique

^As you should be kanelli. As you should.
FD - As herve has shown - you just need to be prepared to put up $20,000 and you'll get published.

Since you brought it up. I am published (by a publisher), all money went to charity.

Well done FD - I'm genuinely impressed. I applaud charity work.
My grandfather and father are also published authors - I have only had works published in trade magazines, and the odd article on career advice in a few random publications (including newspapers in Mauritius).

You do realise that your whole post, again, was just talking about me. You do realise there is a thread dedicated for your posts about me.. don't you?
Your sense of humour failure is most amusing.

The jews were treated well in babylon only after,Cyrus the Great of Persia conquered Babylonia...(wonder if FD will now have full passion for Iranians..
1000 BC : David, Israel's great king, finally defeated the Philistines, and they eventually assimilated with the Canaanites . The unity of Israel and the feebleness of adjacent empires enabled David to establish a large independent state, with its capital at Jerusalem.
922 BC : Under David's son and successor, Solomon, Israel enjoyed peace and prosperity , but at his death in 922 BC the kingdom was divided into Israel in the north and Judah in the south .
722-721 BC : When nearby empires resumed their expansion, the divided Israelites could no longer maintain their independence . Israel fell to Assyria.
586 BC : Judah was conquered by Babylonia, which destroyed Jerusalem and exiled most of the Jews living there. Nebuchadnezzar entered Jerusalem. The Temple was sacked and set fire to, and razed to the ground. The Royal Palace and all the great houses were destroyed, the population carried off in chains to Babylon. And they lamented on their long march into exile.
539 BC : Cyrus the Great of Persia conquered Babylonia and he permitted the Jews to return to Judea, a district of Palestine. Under Persian rule the Jews were allowed considerable autonomy. They rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem and codified the Mosaic law, the Torah, which became the code of social life and religious observance. The Jews were bound to a universal God.
But anyone read why kingdom was divided into Israel in the north and Judah in the south? I wonder if they were divided over disbelief/persecution of apostles and believers,over which I think they received the wrath of Allah for destruction through the military might.
oppression,extortion,shedding innocent blood is all mentioned in jeremiah 22-24
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se ... ersion=NIV
and is also said in quran ayats 17:4-5
http://quran.com/17
After the death of prophet solomon they had numerous messengers Until prophet jesus .. Elijah,Elisha,Zechariah,John the Baptist,
anyhow,looks like they too never seem to learn from their past mistakes to this day and continue to burden the souls for the burden of the others which is forbidden by God. surah 17:15 and they are warned once more, said: "If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, [you do it] to yourselves.17:7
I do hope peace will find us without further wars..
