johnnycash, the point I was attempting to make was that this has gotten out of hand. So why not just throw anything out there. It was misinterpreted as something it was not meant to be. For the record, I have applied for K-1. And hopefully by March she will be driving on the streets of America!I talk to my lady every day. And sometimes in the morning as she prepares for work. I am planning another trip to Russia soon. All is well in my back yard. And God willing I will spend the rest of my life with this woman. I have no doubts.
dcv - you are the man!
That's not right, DCV and Julian. I will agree with those jokes if you can insert the word "extremist" every time you mentioned muslim, but you only did that once.
they were extremest jokes. hell, do i get pissed off every time someone tells me because I am Irish that I must drink a lot and be a drunk? I laugh at the Irish jokes as well. Does it make sense to argue when there is an ethnic slur against you? Or do you just accept that it is common idiocy in the thinking. And also go along with the jokes? Shit, every time someone said to me you must be a drunk because you are irish I wanted to punch them in the nose. that is not my way. So in the same light, that because someone jokes about suicide -- I mean homicide -- bombers it is taken as an assault to an entire religion. But truth be told... I do not claim to know about islam or muslum ideoligy. I only know that I am scared shitless that these folks do not have a clue about the reality of common decency to their fellow humans. Be one of us or die. Fuck that.
Yes there are extreme factions of the sects. But it is in the teachings of many that to not be a part and give yourself wholly to it that you are the devil and must die. Or be killed! Just for the sake of allah! Hope I did not offend anyone in case they know a lady named Alla...
Let's face it. the world is F---d up. And to try to debate it here is not the place. I only found it amusing that it surfaced here. So why not chime in if it is nothing more than a bitch session.
Who said it ? I don't recall just now. But those MF's have nothing to worry about because the liberal left MFs are going to destroy this country anyway. And when they have completed their mission -- the towel heads can waltz right in and claim the territory. Give me a break. Those knuckleheads have no clue. Forty Virgins ... Good luck if you can find them in Kiev. That is why you don't see many towel headed MFs searching the internet for Ukranian women. All they wish to do is to blow themselves up in the hopes that they will find eternal bliss in ??? I guess I can't say heaven here ??? but in the great here-after. Or there-after. WTF? And forty virgins? Give me a week and there will be none. Then what? Forty 'I love you no shits?' Didn't mean to bring the Phillipines into this. Sorry.
Yes I agree that not all Muslims are radicals. But somehwere deep in the back of their minds...
Once an alcoholic... there is no cure... and as soon as that first drink hits the lips...
Read Churchills, "The River Wars" if it was extremism it would have died a hundred years ago. Sorry the extremist label doesn't work with me.The Klan was extemist in the 50's and 60's where are they now? I just wonder how many have taken the time to read a few passages in the Quran? Just go to jihadwatch.org and you can download the whole unabridged Quran. Then tell me what religion teaches enslavement,killing as part of their liturgy.
As I said, I do not know the teachings of said religion. I only know that 'some' of these people have declared war on everyone who does not buy into their thinking. And to think that just by having an American passport you are a target. In more than a few places...
Been to subic a few times. Nice place to dive and snorkel. Or get snorkled. ;) Oh, yes, "Pay my bar fine" Now I remember. Those were interesting times. I actually flew from Manilla to San Fransisco one time to come home to my apartment and found my fiance with another man. Imagine that?
Sweet Polley Purebread was her name. But humble lovable shoeshine boy was not very humble and loveable that day.

Well for starters most of the terrorists are coming into America through passport "control".
The us govt could stop most terrorist if they had the spine to introduce racial profiling and stop muslims entering the u.s.But of course the u.s govt dont want to be accused of "racism" and lose u.s muslim voters do they.
sooty -- sad but true -- and I swore to myself I was finished with this topic
it is unfortunate as it is now -- you can't call a spade a spade anymore. and that has nothing to do with race.
Sooty
I have to agree with you.Racial profiling is sensible.
But We all get caught in the net now.
The govt would have us believe that we are in danger from methodist,catholic, sikh, hindu, buddhist suicide bomber plane hijackers.
There was an anti-terrorism success two or three years ago, when TSA questioned Gerry Adams (Sinn Fein leader in Northern Ireland, and a long-active IRA member). If I recall rightly, they let him go, but as far as I know, it is the only reported case where the "no-fly list" may have netted an actual terrorist.
For the record, Adams denies ever having been an IRA member, but some journalists and historians have long written that he shares responsibility for bombings that murdered civilians.
Hiding behind the Confederate flag.
Unbelievable.
I grew up in the '60's when I could not have my black friends over.
I could not date them. I could visit their homes but they could
not visit mine. As a basketball player, I could play on the team,
but they could not otherwise be shown with with me. My father would not
let me have friends at my house but my black friends parents would let
me associate at their homes. And what does this forum say? You say
profiling is sensible.....Over the past 200 years nothing has changed.....
The American no fly list should be checked against the UK governments 1980s/90s list of known terrorists and affiliates - specifically those who flew to washington as guests of congressmen and senators during 'the troubles'. Gerry Adams would have been chief among those going to lobby for the money that funded much of the IRA's work.
Symbols from an Era Past, Racial profiling, the IRA? Just goes to show everyone has their own Ox to gore. Simple fact, each new law, one less freedom. Patriot Act should be abolished immediately. We have agencys to handle this. Look at the Bureaucracy that has been created in the name of citizen safety? Besides outside of the UK how many bombings were the IRA involved in? The Flag of Texas also has it's share of blood of innocence also. The confederate flag has all but been torn down from every southern capital and all history books. Kids now learn the only reason the Civil War was fought was because of slavery. History revision 101. It's not taught that Nathan Bedford Forrest was a great General and financed his army out of his own pocket. No Forrest is remembered for the Ku Klux Klan. Harriet Tubman is revered, but no one talks about the whites who helped engineer the underground railroad.
