Rip: pro- or anti-Israel?

[Peter_k]

Since the discussion recently has centered on the Source of All the World's Problems, Israel, and on the behavior of a bunch of retarded "peace activists" on a boat, I've been wondering:

Do you think Rip would be pro-Israel or anti-Israel? I can't imagine he'd be neutral because he tends to have strong opinions on things.

I'd love for him to weigh in here, regardless of what side he relates to, but out of respect I won't pose such an inappropriate question on his Q&A.

Why are the views of a weightlifting coach in areas outside weightlifting important to you?

This is a bad idea.

I don't want to comment on the issue itself, just coming in here to say that you've probably created a fucking abomination of a thread

This is the same cunt who stuffs his face and doesn't train hard and then acts shocked that he got fat. What a fucking lowlife.

Haha, do i know you? For your info i've not stuffed my face since november year, but thanks for the concern, i'm getting slowly down to a healthy bodyweight.

Jesus, I thought you were talking about me for a second. I was wondering how the hell you knew I was shocked at how fat I was getting recently.

What makes people troll? What pleasure to they get from it?

For a while it might be funny to get people pissed off, but surely it gets tired fast?

Con: No powerlifting competitions in Israel.
Pro: No powerlifting competition nonsense in Israel.

Hard to tell. This thread is going to be stupid.

Usually nothing to be gained by arguing mideast politics, so I figured some trolling was in order.

Actually there are powerlifting competitions in Israel, but so far, only nonsense ones. So only cons :)

That's a stupid question. Why do you even care?

And what about the Palestinians? Are there raw competitions in Gaza?

Because they don't have any friends, and need to stirr up shit and get attention on forums to get their "fix"

Never heard of any. Maybe at the West Bank, where they are not busy living under terror organization :P

First-hand experience?

Don't know about Gaza, but two out of the three competitors who represented Israel at the the European youth weightlifting championships a couple of weeks ago in Spain were Israeli Arabs.

Who gives a flying fuck about Israel?

- I care about the safety of my squat rack.
- I care that Eleiko continues to produce bars & weights so I can buy them later on when I can afford to drop a boatload on weights and bars
- I care that the WFAC continues to go strong so I can pull a 4500km round trip rroad trip some day when my lazy ass friends get passports.

Nope Israel didn't make my top 100...

You cannot be serious.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. ;-)

But really, it's a very good question you're asking.

[coldfire]

No answer, eh?

Didn't Rip promise Israel to the jewish people in the old testament?

I'm not sure but I'm pretty sure he told David about GOMAD before the match up with Goliath.
