'Our man' flint?

Why give him a sweeping learning curve?

I've never seen flint stand up for anyone. You want to like him. He wants you to like him. He'll create a circus for you to play in but that's about it. I don't know if anything else is real. I think once when he was somebody else he was real.

i make no bones about it. i've got very little respect for those that run with islam. i spent my time in the middle east a long time ago. fuck 'em. i couldn't care less about hurting their feelings or being PC.

Exactly.
Those doing the things the rest are upset about are hiding in the neighborhoods with all the others.
If they wanted it stopped all they have to do is narc them out, they don't, so they support it.
It IS that simple.
Cowardice is never an excuse, I don't wanna' hear it. It will just make me lose respect for them more.

You're the only one posting dots. Everybody else says what they mean.
Even poor delusional muslima has the guts to post her convictions, instead of some bullshit that can be wormed out of later.
Granny did you a great disservice.

[/veiled, shit-stirring bullshit] And yet somehow I can still live with myself.

People are more than ideas and more than the process.

Address people directly. You don't HAVE to be amusing.

Did you do the inkblot test? Did you comment on the results good or bad?


Don't make me start writing poetry to you to try to get through.:mad2:
( j/k private joke I hope you get)

It is not uncommon for "moderate" muslims (or even christians for that matter) to provide cover for the fundamentalist extremists in it. This case is exceptionally blatant with all the games. All it does is keep people from real debate and allow things to continue, same as ever.

If Islam is truly a religion of tolerance why is it so hellbent on forcing others to conform to their customs? It is a form of fascism; they want to restrict what you can say about their religion while being free to insult yours. This special status is the first part of Dhimmitude (which led to the extermination of over 300,000 Armenians alone).

That is the REAL question about all religon, why are they so worried about what others are doing?

Human nature is endlessly fascinating to me. What could possibly compel an anonymous stranger to insult my dead grandmother?

Everything that everyone ever says is just a series of symbolic dots understood to have some connection, which is understood to have some meaning; in this case facilitated exclusively by smallish bits of text, floating in a participative gray area where people's minds attempt to connect, with pitifully little information to go on. Unwittingly projective stabs at mind-reading is what often results in an atmosphere so devoid of meaningful context.

Cute kitty, but -- "served?":confused:

Radio host Larry Elder remarked today that he saw "three ways to submit to Islam: you convert, or pay protection money to a bunch of thugs in order to remain a second-class citizen, or you die." You got the impression he was keener on some better choice.

A recent Thomas Friedman column noted that Muslim are taught the primacy and perfection of their revealed faith over all others -- it could be called God 3.0, with Judaism and Christianity being God 1.0 and 2.0. However, something that's likely to upset the passionately devout Muslim is that the societies running God 1.0 and 2.0 all seem to be doing a lot better, and better for a very long time, than the societies running God 3.0 -- more wealth, more success, more intellectual dynamism, more economic dynamism, more global dominance -- now, he asks, if we've got the best version in God 3.0, how come we haven't got all that?

Something that wasn't relevant to Friedman's column was the idea that the Mormons might claim God 4.1 -- God 4.0 being the polygamous edition... imagine how that would stir the pot.

Remarks?

Just act like you understand. We have to stick with the theory that I'm the only one posting dots. Since everyone else always says exactly what they mean, it won't work if you don't always understand exactly what they're saying. The possibility that we're all saying what we mean, and only some of us understand each other, and only some of the time, would ruin everything. Must. Stay. Negative. . . . . . . . Try name-calling.

Fred?

Aloysius?

Dmitri?

Agamemnon?...

All it takes is a few keystrokes, and the soul spills forth onto the page.

Gawd, I am trying to feel sorry for you. Then I keep asking myself if there's such a thing as karma because when a person sees it...really sees it....a person's just dumbstruck.:eek6:

Look, I'm only a dork. I just know if I can find toleration so can you.

The cat looks like it's hip hop dancing. In some social circles, it is considered a crushing insult to dance better than your opponent, and when this happens the opponent has been "served." See the horrific cinema masterpiece You Got Served for further reference.

We now return you to your regularly-scheduled thread drift.
