Official; Israel most corrupt country in the West

Pandqa: Blah,blah,blah,blah....Only some of the revenue came under Israeli oversight and that was in the import/export sector.

Any opinion I express is merely an OPINION. Opinions have no correctness. They are individual expressions. They are not facts. Surely you know this clear difference.

Pedigrees...Poor me, a prison program through the Technikon and then Ithaca in the States. We cannot all hold the same cards though, can we?


Panda, you are surely slipping. While I DID make a slight mistake concerning Chomskys profession due to quick typing, I never touched upon Dershowitz's sources or any alleged plagiarism. Of course if you would be so nice as to provide an example...


All your poseur intellectualism falls by the wayside as the expletives take to the wind. not cute...utterly ugly Panda. I thought Pandas were usually peaceful creatures.


Ooops! I better RUN along BEFORE I start to BORE you...


Tangent: Actually, for you, anything. Consider it done.

Reading your raving is like listening to a Christian evangelist exhibiting glossolalia, it sounds like coherent, but it's just a mass of poorly assembled nonsense.
"Poseur intellectualism"? I'm not the guy who claimed to have "audited Edward Said's classes at Columbia and found him lacking", Rachamim. ;)
I leave the intellectual impostures to you, who so obviously feels insecure enough to have to project his own falsity onto others. :)

Oh, and as for your demand for examples, I'm following your lead. Eight weeks time soon enough for you, iggy? It's just that I'm busy right now, and the references are somewhere else, locked in a cupboard that only I have a key to, but I'll get them for you sometime in the future, honest...

"Poseur intellectualism", huh? Oh and what was that you were saying about Persia?

Oddly though, I don't believe I've ever claimed to be an intellectual, although as a bit of a dandy and "lady's man" in my youth, some of my comrades-in-arms who were less successful with "the ladies" (and believe me, that's difficult in a garrison town! ;) ) did accuse me of being a poseur and a fop. :D
Did I care? Not on your nelly!

Perhaps Rachamim is one of those cretinous rightwingers who use the terms "intellectual" and "intellectualism" as insults unless they're being applied to the icons of the right? You know, luminaries like Coulter, Kristol, even Dershoshitz. :)

Aye and only certain forms of intellectualism are ever given any space in the US. If your form of intellectual activity is not associated with warfare or any other form of military activity it is regarded as frivolous and 'elitist'.

Hey, Grandma, did you get the answers you were waiting for?

Nope. He said he'd be off duty on 11th march and then all being well he'd get the answers shortly after. He's not been seen since his last post-must be still looking for these 'readily available' facts ;)

Tut tut.

A cynic might think that Rachamim had been spieling bullshit.

But we all know Rachamim wouldn't do that, right kids?
 
whilst we are on about corruption how would it be if the prime minister was selling seats in a countrys upper house for donations to their already close to bankriupt party?

not that this could happen today or at any time in the past

See the heading at the top of the page that reads "Middle Eastern affairs and news"?

That's because this forum is for Middle Eastern affairs and news.

If you want to discuss Blair's egregious abuses of his right of patronage I suggest you talk about it in the forum labelled "UK politics, current affairs and news", because that is where people discuss UK politics, current affairs and news.

Okay?

This thread is asking if Isreal is the most corrupt country in the West. I suggest that that means that all countries in the West are legitamate subjects for a posting on this thread.

How do you measure corruption anyway? Surely Italy must be in with a shout.

Depends on what type of corruption you're discussing. After all, on top of good old-fashioned bribery, there's also the "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" type, nepotism, procedural and judicial abuses etc.
 
Having just clicked on the "View post" button to see what banalities you're currently peddling, I see you're labouring under a misapprehension, L&L.

Neither the thread title nor the OP ask "...if Isreal is the most corrupt country in the West".
With moono's usual style the OP and the thread title STATE that Israel "is the most corrupt country in the west".

You are simply a pedantic pantaloon.

In the old-boy network, surely the UK would win by a country mile.
 
Actually for "Old Boys"

Networked or otherwise, I think you'll find France the most condusive, followed closely by Spain, Germany, Italy etc
Though all are miles behind the US of A - a singularly class based society as far as Political power is concerned
