Ah ok, well against forum rules then.

What - Optomistic actually altered your posts???

The paranoia is really strange isn't it. You would think people on here would chase after the real culprets of this world. The countries that are oppressing their citizens' rights. The countires that are abusing human rights etc. Israel is the only true democracy in the region and goes over and above and out of its way to help not only its own citizens but also citizens of its enemy countries!! There are even muslims in the Israeli military!

It's ok, I found out it can't be done, and I found out how to post a link for youtube.

Ho, hum, some happy optimistic souls on here - Not

I want to start a music thread posting youtube music. But how do I post a youtube clip. I tried a couple of days ago but it didn't work. The only thing I ended up with was the URL for the youtube clip which people should click on. Sometimes on other sites you can do something like [youtube]then the URL and then[/youtube], but that didn't work here. I tried the embed code and another way, they didn't work either.

Can anyone explain please but in simple English, and I would be grateful and dedicate my first song to you!

If some marines were here it would be hot a steamy here too. As it happens with the cost of heating I am wearing four layers and a wooly hat and cuddling a hot water bottle instead of a US Marine!

For those who believe these are the 'end times' it will only get worse before it gets better!

Is your climate and/or terrain similar to where the US are currently in a conflict?

Of course the whole world and his wife are worried about the middle east - Black Gold, Texas Tea (showing my age - what was that comedy in the 60s of a family who struck oil.

Anyway - the post above if Israel put down its arms there would be no more Israel - if the arabs put down their arms there would be peace is absolutely 100% on the button. I think it was a famous Israeli statesman who quoted that.

You see the arabs have vowed to kill every Jew in Israel. It is not rocket-science to know that it is not Israel that is the problem here. But of course while the media feeds you all garbage, you lap it up like you hadn't eaten anything for weeks, and you believe it.

The Jews in thinking that their thousands of years of persecution would stop once they had their own state were mistaken. It was just the start of a new campaign of delegitimising their own country which as you can see from maps, is a fraction of the land mass that was originally allocated to the Jews.

It is not the Jews and Israel that are the problem. It is their enemies who want to kill each and every last one of them.

OMG have you ever seen the clip from truthtube where a 12 year old decapitates an elderly man with others egging him on shouting their allah akbar or whatever while he was doing it. It kinds of brings of home to the regular public what a vile aim the forced conversion to islam or die is. And that other clip of christians being burned alive because they would not convert.

I think some on this forum ought to open their eyes to the world and the dangers do not come from Israel. Israel is not the cause of the problems in the Middle East - Israel's enemies are.

Why would they want to. The US has never stated it wants global domination, whereas Iran and other islamic states have, whether they have the means to do it or not.

You really hate Israel don't you. Did something happen in your childhood?

A lot of people think like you but have not thought of the outcome if that were the case. Never mind the millions of innocents killed, but radical islamists will be closer to taking over other continents which they have stated is their aim - to make the world Islamic, and of course we are already seeing persecutions of other religions by islamists. Egypt, Indonesia, Kenya, etc. You think the USA would be safe from an islamic take-over - think again. Your post was glib - but it is not a subject anyone with sense should be glib about.

OP - lots goes on we average Joes or Josephines wouldl not have a clue about, so don't worry about it. Just chill out as worrying about alleged spying will probably make you paranoid. We have a tv drama here called Spooks - whatever you do, don't watch it on the net or it will tip you over the edge. Spying, espionnage etc goes on, but really it is none of our business. Every country does it even to friendly countries - that's life.

Possibly listen to the President's phone???? No need to listen - Obama makes it clear what he thinks of Israel without the need to tap his phone!

I don't read blogs - don't trust them. But don't all countries spy on each other. It's a common practice. Only when it comes out in the open we are shocked. It's nothing special.

Youtube might be a start although it may be in several parts.

Thanks for the replies. Some sites allow users to alter the time zones, but it's ok, it's not that important. I just wondered. Thanks again.

How do I change time settings? On the forums it shows the time as eight hours behind Greenwich Mean Time, so I need to change the setting. Thanks.
