    Default Have the forum just turned ugly?

    Hence to the way that the "What if we just ignore them?"-topic has been turned i to the most disgusting topic ever in this forums history I myself just feel like throwing in the towel and call it the day.

    It seems like many in here as the "My way or the highway!" as a holy mantra.

    Up until 10 minutes ago, I had seen seoulstriker as a quite intelligente guy, even though I didn't like all of his opinions. Now I'm just disgusted over him.

    Whatever the opinions of the Israelis and some of the Arabs in here have shown,(also the reoson for the "why do we just...) this has to be...
    Acually, I am out of words.

    Ichabbe world is ugly People kill People, and make photos of it.
    **** happens and you sometimes see the darker site of humanity in real or on photos. After what have you seen, do you still let/or advice your girlfiend to do abortion?

    Sadly, i must agree with ichhabe - some of us just don't know when to "give it a rest". i prefer not to take part in such discussions, although some of them manage to serously piss me off (including some of the pro-israeli opinions).
    although it's not very nice thing to do - i would like to address my fellow israelis in hebrew. don't wory, i'm not cursing any of you behind his back...

    חברה - בחייכם, אנחנו דופקים לעצמנו גול עצמי והופכים את הדיונים פה לבלתי-נסבלים. לא כולם אוהבים אותנו ולא כולם תומכים (או אי-פעם יתמכו) בנו. יש הבדל בין להסביר את נקודת הראיה הישראלית לבין להפגיז פה בשטויות כמו משוגעים . אם אתם רואים שאיזה אדיוט לא מפסיק לזיין את השכל, עדיף לתת לאשכול לגווע מעצמו מאשר לעצבן את כל שאר הגולשים כולל אלה שעוד איכשהוא תומכים בנו. אז בבקשה - תחשבו טוב טוב מה אתם רוצים להגיד ולאן זה יקדם את הדיון כי אם אין לכם משהו פרודוקטיבי להוסיף, עדיף פשוט לשתוק.
    ואם למישהו יש דיעה בנושא, שיענה באנגלית.
    בברכה,
    זיו

    I've been sitting on the bench and not participating in any of the threads because they've been, for the most part, rather insipid and inane arguments that quickly turn into flame wars. If that's what people want to post fine, but any intelligent person is more than aware of the differences between pro-Arab and pro-Israeli factions and pro-abortion and anti-abortion groups without having to hear the same old arguments rehashed by immature or intolerant posters. Frankly, it's been rather boring.

    Until recently, Militaryphotos.net was a great site to discuss military issues, equipment, tactics and history. But the graphic content of late has turned a great forum into a cesspool of extremist political views. I'll continue to check it out periodically because there are still a few good threads and outstanding pictures. If I may make a suggestion, if you are so adamant and unyielding in your extremist views, aren't there other sites dedicated to your position where you can post your disgusting photos.

    Default I agree

    yeah, I clicked on the "why dont we just ignore them post" because it sparked my interest. I immediately clicked on the latest page and by page 5 or 6 it had become a childish debate about abortion. Now I know that as "obdr" in the gallery section, I have said some lame and random things, but this is too far in my opinion. If people want to argue abortion call the damn 700 Club or something. This is "militaryphotos.net" not "savetheChildren.org" right?

    Yes it's became ugly. And we should avoid direct posting of such photos and make proper disclimer so people not interested in didn't hit it accidentaly.

    If you are not intersted in topic don't browse it.

    This is forum where you can meet people and hear their opinins from all the world so unavoidable are off-topics and from topics deviations.
    You learn how to act being with people not by separating from them. Guys more patience and persuasion

    I would like to say something. This post is not directed to anyone in specific or even to sirpad (so nu every one has an opinion so..great).

    I too came in here as an ex military(paratrooper) and military enthusiast to hopefully discuss and learn other things abut other militaries in the world. I love looking at pictures of Israeli soldiers as well as from solders from around the world. I also love talking military hardwhere and tactics
    (at least what we can say online) and comparing or contrasting different militaries to each other and things of that nature.

    I unfortunately realise that every topic that is about Israel is usually started by some other member that through his negative insinuations and connotations will inevitably spill into a huge flame war, and even when it is not an Israeli related topic, if an Israeli posts something innocent there, it inevitably is followed by some negative posts or insiutaions that are targeted at the Israeli, that leads the discussion into the usual Israeli/ Palestinian conflict

    I cant speak for all Israeli’s or all pro Israeli's here, but I for the most part or even they have only been responding to the negative topics and posts that I have seen crop up pretty frequently by other members especially by some who complain that they are sick of this debate but yet continue to start or post on these threads or posts.

    I have also never labelled anyone anything. I have except for one instance, inferred that some one was an anti semtie and that was only after that one member endorsed Hitler or something to that effect.

    I think there is a lot of people that perpetrate these negative discussions and then chide us for responding.

    I mean I can’t even have any military discussion without some negative post. Heck even my watch cover thread or the idf light infantry thread was hijacked by members that went off topic and made it negative.

    If we can get off this train wreck where I or an Israeli can post some Israeli military weapon or something like that and someone isn’t immediately going to say we use that to indiscriminately kill all Palestinians and take it off topic, then this site can really achieve great things.

    Just some thought…..

    Shalom.

    I should have never started that post. It was mainly aimed at the people who freak out at the israelis all the time, because it was just turning every conversation into an arguement. Lets all put this behind us and we can hopefully continue with the normal militaria posts etc.

    Amen to that!!!

    (Although I was bit confused when I just reread your topic thread and it seemed like you were directing it at us Israel’s and solely complaining about us [when in fact in most cases we are responding most of the time] and not to those that freak out at us).

    But yes I agree with this post here and I hope you have read the post above yours to feel how we feel here and how we also hope we can get back to this site being a normal militarary site with normal posts where I can post for example a watch cover thread or a idf light infantry weapon thread and not have it turn into an off topic discussion that was not the intention of that thread. Or post an Israeli weapon and not have a post that’s immediately followed by false accusations of indiscriminate killing which is not the intent of that thread or the original post.

    shalom and thanks for your understanding

    I agree, but I for one havn't seen anything like that. Can you link?
    I hav nothing against Israeis. But some people here just piss me off, by posting a link about say some palestinian bombing. Then writing something like "see what the evil ragheads do we have to defend ourselves!"
    Those are inconstrucive and rather sad in large enough numbers...

    Just my point

    oh please. I am not going to spend hours drudging up the numerous examples. If you were going to be intellectually honest you would recognise that what I have been saying has some merit.
    I hav nothing against Israeis.
    perhaps, though that is not for me to say nor have I ever accused you of having things against Israeli's (I will leave that for other to base their own conclusions) though I would say defending homicide attacks that target innocent Israeli man women and children do in fact come off a bit hostile.
    I mean even if you think Israel is the root cause and they are mostly to balme (which I disagree with, but that for another topic or post) it still doesn’t justify targeting innocent man women and children. Period!

    But some people here just piss me off, by posting a link about say some palestinian bombing. Then writing something like "see what the evil ragheads do we have to defend ourselves!"
    Those are inconstrucive and rather sad in large enough numbers...

    Just my point
    first of all a lot of that is not done by any Israeli member here. Secondly those are a few exception I haven’t seen to many posts where people say constantly kill everyone.


    Anyways just some thoughts in response…….

    I guess it takes someone with more credibility(Ichabe) than myself around here to actually let people notice the recent ugly trend in the forums.
