Oh get a grip. I've worked and lived among people of all manner of races, creeds, beliefs etc and funnily enough I've got on with most and never had any bother either. In my home town there's a mosque about five minutes from my own street and I walk past it often enough without any fear of being assaulted as an 'infidel' or fear of a bomb going off...

No, more like Juvenilese, a language you unfortunately excel at...

Which is why we had riots in streets over a thug being shot by a cop. I couldn't agree more on this point.

Alternate spellings occasionally annoy me... That's more in literature, but local slang can be frustrating at times as well. We don't aways use the same words the same way. A bird is just a bird here and a lift is only a verb in the American NW.
We might win the next revolutionary war, though. Canada and Mexico seem more American to me than the U.S. sometimes. Forgive my ramblings, I seem to be caught still trying to secede in my mind.
I might caveat: at least it is obvious when sensationalism is the goal, over and above accurate journalism.
Stop making the same points I do. It's creepy.
Barbarian observes:
I guess the whole thing is an example of the hysterical exaggeration of the Muslim population in Europe, by bigots.
Just pointing out the fact. I wasn't even thinking of Nick when I wrote that. He just ends up being "exhibit B."
Barbarian observes:
in fact, Muslims are deeply concerned about the rate at which their fellow Muslims are converting to Christianity, or losing their faith entirely.
Being Catholic, I don't think that Muslims are necessarily going to Hell. But I do think that one has a much better chance of salvation as a Christian. Don't see that it has much to do with the fact that a lot of Muslims in Europe are converting to Christianity, or that bigots are trying to suppress that fact.
Me, too. That's one reason why the hysteria about Muslims in Europe is such a woofer.
Yep. The only difference is, I'm serious about Jesus as Savior, and the bigots seem to think it's all political.
Better?

this is so stupid and so dishonest
for one thing, how is Fox responsible for having someone on who said something false?
but what he said is NOT entirely false. There are parts of certain countries where Mulsims essentially "rule" and the cops are afraid to go into those parts of the city/country.
I think libs are a joke
by the way, it is PIRO, not Pirro

racists are always obsessed w/ racism... b/c they are disturbed (and rightly so) by the racism they see within, so they feel they just HAVE to go overboard in their efforts to convince the world they are not racist. Only over kill will work...
you know... that thing about "I do believe she protesteth too much"
As you see, paranoia and denial go hand in hand with bigotry. So when someone points out that Muslims are rapidly converting to Christianity (and not just in Europe; they fell from majority to minority in Africa as Christianity grows in that Contintent), the response from bigots is to blame the people who point it out to them.
These days, racism and religious bigotry is so despised, no one will openly admit it. Fortunately, they usually aren't smart enough to hide it well.

we see that with you all the time
are you really unaware of it, or is it just part of your clown act?
nobody's blaming you
that's your paranoia at work
and this is your denial
we're all well acquainted with your bigotry
thanks for the demonstration! :thumb:

Fixed it to include the whole "not glossing over things" idea that you were talking about.

...And then people like aCW try to force it on people.
I can testify to the amount of cultural and racial diversity there is in such cities, and it's a good thing.
I think Star Trek has gotten to you all's heads.
the dispatcher had no authority to order zimmerman to do anything
the dispatcher said "we don't need you to do that" and zimmerman said "ok" and returned to his truck, where martin, instead of heading directly to his father's girlfriend's townhouse, circled back and met him
at the truck
and, not to put too fine a point on it, but if i'm followed by someone, the law does not allow me to assault them, regardless of how "disrespected" i might feel

I understand that. However, it was advice that Zimmerman disregarded that would have put an end to the situation. Bad judgement on his part.
It was not an incident between an idiot and a hero. It was an incident between two idiots.

I'm not doubting this but I'd like to see a source.
