| Minors don't have the power to and this whole thing is childish. Even if they could, you're assuming everyone but the government wants to stop the occupation. They don't. And for the last time, ISRAEL RETREATED FROM GAZA. What did we get for releasing Gaza? A terrorist Hamas base there that is killing Israelis weekly. If Israel releases all of its territories, it's likely to be attacked and lose. That could mean 4 million more dead Jews. So what your terms for Glovepie are are pretty much "I will not allow anyone from Israel to use this program until they are dead." Why do you feel it's your job to force your opinion on people from Israel while you sit safely in whatever peaceful country watching CNN anti-Israel propaganda. Back to the point, Wiili is an open source project and shouldn't have discrimination like this. People in Israel have lost enough family to the holocaust and they're not about to lose more by giving up more land to the Hamas. |

| And citizens of the US do not have equivalent power to end their occupation of Iraq? Or would it be inconvenient to block the US from using your fun software? How about another democratic country currently engaged in an occupation like, oh for instance, Australia. Anyone from Australia here? |

I'm not assuming Israelis want to end the occupation. They have the power to do so, but are unwilling without being pushed to.
The USA and Australia are not being boycotted, although I did consider adding the Australian state of Queensland to the list after calls to boycott it on the grounds of apartheid came out recently, but I haven't decided to do so yet, I have to see how serious these calls are.
The USA is nothing like Israel (not that it would justify anything if it was). The USA is not bombing Canada or invading Mexico. The USA is not a "white people's state". The USA has not kicked the majority of its population out of the country because it didn't like their race and banned them from returning. The USA does not ban all non-white people from immigrating.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of the USA, but the USA and Israel are in completely different ballpacks, which is why Israel is being boycotted and the USA isn't. |

| If you guys disagree with Carl's beliefs so strongly, how about you just shut up and not use his free software? Seriously, he has the right to put whatever the hell he wants on his website and yes, while you also have the right to complain about it, wouldn't it make more sense to do it somewhere else? |

Agreed...also I'm tired of Carl getting bashed for his license. This isn't the place to discuss it either. Future threads on the topic of the license will be locked or deleted. _________________ -deceased-

I wouldn't be comparing the U.S.'s immigration policies to Israel's, Unless you're talking about Australia's. And I'm sure the U.S. would have torn Canada and Mexico to shreds if they bombed it and attacked it in numerous other ways and then had the nerve to claim its land. It's just not a comparison you can make, Israel is trying to make peace while it's being attacked while the U.S., after a bombing sends half its army to invade Iraq (which is on the other side of the world). It's easy for you to order Israel to retreat but it's much harder for citizens who may lose their friends and families if it does. Next you'll boycott it until it makes a giant bullseye float over Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem with the text "Nukes go here" on it. If you were surrounded by enemies who won't make peace, you would feel differently.
This is a site for an open-source project. OPEN. Which means the software shouldn't be closed to certain minorities, especially since this software is key to the final product. Are Israelis not allowed to use Linux? No. So the same should go for Wiili and the software it contains. Why can't we keep political opinions out of this? This is Wiili not Us(other than the Israelis)li.
Edit: Reread your post. Since when is Israel occupying Syria? |

Classic controller doesn't seem to work yet, Wimote.Classic.a triggers both
a and b (while Wiimote.Classic.b only triggers b) and Up and Left also
trigger b. Maybe similar with the other buttons, but I didn't tried them yet. |
