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.
Anyway, It was just getting annoying.
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.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Cumon guys, America makes films taking the piss out of muslim Jihads and terrorists, everyone takes the piss out of Americans for being stupid, English call the French frogs, we get called hooligans, ethiopians get called skinny and scrawny (they actually serve some of the best food in the world)- does it really matter?
It's christmas.

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

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.

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.

What do you mean I need a hair cut? Maybe you need to grow your hair eh? I'll have you know in the winter months this hair keeps my neck nice and warm, plus that picture is old and a wierd angle, and it makes my bum look big :razz: Seriously though, it was scabby that day.
On top of that, if you look at the gallery, you'll notice the most respected members all have long hair :razz: Look at Reno and his bush, and Supercrazy, who seems to have dissapeared...
I'll upload my scarily similar Michael Jackson picture for comedy value- please note, I don't look anything like him, this is just fluke!

But if they had long hair, they'd have more chicks- don't you watch TV at all?
Perfect example, the Herbal Essences advert- long hair, toned, has fit chick and is the fantasy of the woman.

It all depends on your bone structure and face etc- long hair doesn't suit everyone, my flatmate being a shining example lol.

There's an Eid around now. The last one was last month when Ramadan ended. They rotate, by the way. They go every ... 12th new moon, is ramadan, then Eid, then a month later is another Eid. I forget the name for them, they both have special names.
I was just talking to my dad about this last night, actually.
Don't celebrate the second Eid really ... have no one to share the sheep with :sad: That and it's pretty expensive now.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

It was prolly a female bird.
Okay, one on one, I have to say that a ninja has the upper-hand with his super agility, as long as he can dodge that sword.
Band of pirates > band of ninjas, because the pirates will bombard the ninjas with canon fire, then as they come ashore they let loose with their pitols, and by the time hand-to-hand combat is on, most of the ninjas are shot. Especially during the daytime, where the ninjas lose their stealth, and they are vulnerable. Now, I know the ninjas might have bows and shurikens, but these are obsolete compared to the speed and accuracy of a good ol' firearm. Plus, the pirates have godlike constitutions and one might keep going even if there is an arrow stuck in his body.
Oh, and there is only one thing that's gonna convince the pirates to attack the ninjas, and that is their treasure and their women, and nothing is gonna stop a hoard of pirates in search of booty. (both kinds)
