I'm not mad, it's really just the fact that you make Muslims the butt of your jokes far too often. Like the Jihad shirt, for example. And, honestly, just because I mention something Muslim doesn't mean there should be a retort about terrorism. The fact is that most Muslims aren't terrorists. The minority of Muslims are suicide bombers, also, and in your comment you singlehandedly said that all Muslims do that. I know that's not what you think, or know, but it is what your comments imply.

Honestly, I'm sick of everyone's views of the Muslim religion. Most people are wrong. It pisses me off even more that the only Muslims (that aren't converted) that get recognized are murderers, terrorists, and extremists. It's f**king pathetic.


I know what you're sayin'. But fact is you're going to have to deal with that your entire life. Even if I stop talking about muslims altogether, everyone else is going to say it. I've never heard of a suicide bomber that WASN'T a Muslim of some kind. When a certain type of person monopolizes in some kind of activity they get known for it.

  • Germans get the Nazism rap.
  • Jew's get the money-hoarding and complaining.
  • Asians get the math skills.
  • Americans get the stupidity
  • Brits get the bad teeth
  • American southerners get incest and bigotry
  • Blacks get all the crime and welfare checks.
  • Hispanics are ALL known as "fence-hopping mexicans"
  • and Muslims get to be terrorists.

We all know that not ALL of these people do this stuff. But these certain groups of people are the ones that do most of it. like maybe only 1% of muslims are terrorists, but maybe 90% or terrorists are Muslims, (completely fictitious stats) see? so that's why they get the rap for it.

Everyone seems to think that ALL Christians are "momma-said" Christians who blindly do what they are told by religious leaders and thier mothers. You ask them WHY they beleive something, and they can't tell you because they don't know. They only go by what they are told and they don't know why. Only high-school girls and a few others are like that. Not all of us.

So, anyway, I'll ease up on the Muslim jokes, k? But Maybe you all could try to stop the more subtle, but still insidious preconception that all Christians are Ned-Flanders Nincompoops. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Political correctness is ridiculous. Today, I saw a couple black reverends arguing on TV over Black History month. While one of them had a pretty good point: Black history month is racism. Since, instead of teaching, and practicing, understanding, all that stuff, the history of blacks as HISTORY, they segregate it into black history. Which makes sense, I don't completely agree though.
However, when black history week (which became an entire month) was "created", they wanted it to eventually go away, since it is still segregation. There is a point there, but it's still a little ridiculous.

But "Black History Month" was created because they were complaining about not being celebrated! Grrrrr.... See how PC is so stupid? We change something around so people will not get offended, and they get offended because we made special considerations for them!!

Every name we have EVER called black people has immediately become "racist"

First, "n****r" was okay, then they didnt like it, so we called them "Negro", then they got mad at that, they wanted to be called "colored" so we called them "colored" and they got mad about THAT. Then they wanted to be called "Afro-Americans" and when we called them that, they got pissed off. Then they wanted to be called "Black" and they hate us for emphasizing our differences, so they want to be called "african americans" and we did and they got mad aobut that so they wanted to be called "Ebony" and we called them that and they got pissed off. and NOW they all walk around calling each other "n****r!!!!" If we had not tried to be PC in the first place, it would have saved a lot of time and effort.....

Bah, bad writing on my part -- but you're right though -- but here's more or less what I meant:

Not everything can be explained in religion -- partiularly Catholiscm (refered to as a "Mystery") since there's no hard proof of anything, Catholics have to have faith in the things that can't be explained, and in what they believe in.

But as I said -- good point, and made <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Guy Fawkes? Japanese kamikaze planes and manned torpedoes?

Guy Fawkes was an ordinary bomber, not a suicide one AFAIK.

I cant find out whether he was planning to blow himself up, but considering the technology available at the time, it would have been likely. The explosion would have levelled the palace, and caused fairly extensive damage to nearby buildings. A fuse long enough to allow escape probably wouldnt have been trustworthy.

He was caught on his way out, he planned to nip onto a boat and whatnot down the thames. He certainly wasnt a suicide.

Suicide bombers are insane people that need help- they are so stupid that they don't even know thier own religion- AFAIK every religion condemns suicide to hell, no matter what the situation. Their "greater good" is nothing more than eternal damnation for themselves, if such a place exists, but we shouldn't get into that.

Anyway, steering the topic a bit seeing as this arguing and debate WILL get us nowhere (its been going on for hundreds of years), the new agenda-

How are you celebrating christmas this year, and does it differ from your usual celebrations? Ever had an unusual christmas that you feel like sharing?

In the yonder Lep and Myrk household we just wake up, get presents - we limit ourselves and open a few before everyones awake if we wake up early, which I haven't for years - then sit around opening presents as a family, not the whole one by one crap though, then do our own thing till Lunch, then do our own thing or hang out in the front room.

Now I may be a bit wrong, but not by much methinks.

In the case of the Japanese, and the Muslims, your application of suicide is not quite accurate.

You are applying our definition to the "Snuffing of a life" to their actions, which is not exactly the same thing. In the end, the life is gone sure, but suicide is a VERY selfish action. Killing oneself the way those two peoples did or do is not really very selfish.

The problem is, we cannot alter our minds to encompass exactly what it takes to become a Kamikaze or a living bomb. I would bet you money that the term "Suicide Bomber" is not of Muslim decent. Its more than likely the name given by either the Americans or some other country that thinks similarly to ourselves.

Think on that a while.

thought on it, but I don't get it...

Anyway, I will be celebrating Christmas by giving and recieving stuff. And then after that I am going to a party with a bunch of russians and this hot girl and we're gonna eat lots of food. Then I'm going to get new tires for my car.

Myrk is correct. It's a very terrible thing to do ... you're not even suppose to harm yourself in any fasion (Such as if the only food available was Pork ... it's okay to eat it.)

Anyway, thanks for easing up, it has nothing to do with other people, but in a general community where everyone is suppose to feel comfortable ...

I'm well aware of the type of attitude people have, thank God they're not as ignorant as a few decades ago.

For Christmas, doing the same thing we always do. Presents, turkey, ... that's about it, but those take a long time.

Today and tomorrow I'm having friends over for a theater thing in my garage. Got the audio going (real 6 channel) and projector.



Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

My Christmas is planned to be fairly usual. Christmas Eve is boozing night as always - pretty much every young person in town hits the same pub and complains at how it's too busy to get served <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> On Christmas Day my Gran, Auntie and Uncle are going to be here and we are gonna do the same old opening of presents, eating muchos food, and generally hanging out. I'll also be going for the yearly Christmas skate which my mates and I do on Christmas day...for all of 10 minutes before the cold gets the better of us and we abort it in favour of playing computer games or something!

Crono, Isn't Eid on the 10th of January? You have plenty of time to celebrate BOTH!

And yes, you're not supposed to harm yourself, because your body is the temple of God/Allah. That is why some ppl are against tattoos and piercings.
