The War Against Terror - how to win it

Heaven forbid! You might hurt someone's feelings. :_|

I think I'll go cry in a corner somewhere. :_|

Who finds this stuff?! Someone with way too much time on their hands. I imagine you could find symbolism in anything if you tried hard enough and someone will always be offended.

Why not tell the offended people not to wear their feilings on their shoulders and pull their heads out of their arses. You can't make everythin pc for everyone. I hate being pc...why bother.

:)

Michelle Malkin is a f*cking idiot.

What's next, protesting picnics at the beach or retired gents playing chess in the park???

Oh, I know...someone will protest a horse race announcer for using the words 'Arab' and 'flying' within the same paragraph.

Or maybe next basketball season, when someone goes into the lane and dunks on the Lakers, Marv Albert will slip, and say 'Look at LeBron James take it to the twin towers'.

The more we acquiesce (Dunkin Donuts should have responded by sending the person a coupon to McDonald's or something, and asked them not to patronize their establishments in the future), the worse it will get.

At the rate we're going, generations from now, people will few 'Forrest Gump' as a messianic message.

I thought reading the comments was even more telling of who this was written for.

but never actually read anything she has done that I can recall.

But that is my point, why give a f*cking id10t a forum? You don't, regardless of their political leanings.

The WORST thing that can happen to a blogger is to be ignored.

The BEST (for a political blogger) is to get someone from "the other side" to blast you publically. She got exactly what she wanted, and people that read her are more likely to see "her point".

for a national uniform law. When in public citizens must wear... Everyone will then 'look alike' and no one can take offense at what someone is wearing.

Apparently, more and more people 'need a life'.

etu

... "a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos".

How would she know that?

You saved me a day of racking my brain, and kicking myself for being so reckless in my youth (one too many shots to the noggin). :)

...was rock solid. Too bad the script started to drag at about the 60% mark. Gun-kata was a pretty cool concept.

Makes you wonder how much better the Matrix movies would have been, though, if Bale (or just about anyone else with a pulse, for that matter) had played Neo instead of Keanu...especially the third movie (where good acting could have helped redeem a terrible script).

And that is the citizenry, activist [b]jurors[/b], not judges.

[i]People go to McDonalds, drop a coffee ON THEM SELVES [sic], and STILL are able to sue McDonalds for millions because of the burns they receive. All part of the stupid in the world that HATE "big business".[/i]

No, many people observe that corporations, and the chief officers of them, have purchased special treatment for themselves. Nearly "anybody who has a real life" blames corporations generally, not any corporation specifically, and bills any corporation, when assigned to a jury.

I haven't seen McDonald's distinguish themselves from corporations which I know specifically are actively evil, for example by spearheading a publicity campaign against Archer Daniels Midland, so I have more sympathy for the Customer who spilled coffee on herself than I have for the inhuman entity McDonald's.

What this proves is that those who are charged with our safety - at all levels - are so stupid that the terrorists have won.

Now we know where they go if they are too stupid for jobs at Burger King! Heathrow, Terminal Five.

Neil :(

I wonder if the t-shirt was on a ten year old, they would have reacted the same way. If not, why not...

I mean, Rachel Rae? C'mon people, that's just nasty!

Why not at least use Giada Delaurentis? Hubba Hubba!

As for the scarf, of well, leave it to the British Conservatives to have a winge about that one.

[i]Fashion statements may seem insignificant, but when they lead to the mainstreaming of violence - unintentionally or not - they matter," Ms Malkin has written. [/i]

Mainstreaming violence? Get real.

[i] I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.[/i]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litany_against_fear

Fear is a tactic, not an enemy. I'm not afraid of the terrorists. I just defeated terrorism. Now, I propose that we do something about our over-extended, under-trained, ill-equipped military and the overpaid corporations spending their paychecks, health care and retirement savings.

Just when I start to have optimistic ideas about our species, something like this happens.

It's a freaking scarf people, get over yourselves.

(To all the rational citizens, please disregard this comment)

Richard Simmons lol

How does Ireland sound?

I need to escape the USA. no really good beer here lol ;)

Stretch pants and a sports bra in size 92... :0

[i]~looks for puking emoticaon~

because after I look around here and see how bad things are, I see stuff like that and see that at least it is mass insanity instead of just us over here! :p

:x

Montana is looking better and better all the time. B-)

I have no problem with Spandex, I think it was great when I was a teenager and my girfriends always looked hot in Spandex (and those miniskirts that were actually just stretchy belts).

My issue with Spandex is, why make it stretch THAT much!?

Okay, so it stretches, that doesn't mean Jone's Tent and Awning have ot retail it too.

There should be Spandex licences issued to those who it will compliment, and for those it will not....well, there's always the mumu (or is it MOOOO MOOOOO!).

That's as far into that example as I'll go for the sake or your, and my, imagination's eyesight.

I'd gone into such a complete manic rant against the stupidity of my own countrymen over the "t-shirt with a gun" that I clean forgot about the original post that got me started.

The scarf was, I believe, a black and white paisley pattern which is Scottish but even if it had been one of Yasser Arafat's best cast-offs, it was still lunacy.

:D

only for you, sweet cheeks ;) lol

Now I want to inspect Malkin's home and workplace for any Persian-looking rugs!

[i][Ray] was wearing a black-and-white checked scarf around her neck that resembled a traditional Arab keffiyeh.[/i]

Ratings must be worse than normal over at Faux News.

I'm having trouble deciding whether to start eating doughnuts just to support DD, or whether their chicken-hearted submission to the magic T-word is as bad as taking the side of the terrorists.

Once patio season starts, there are so few weeks to get everything set out. I don't want to be searching for tools or last seasons moving boxes while building next seasons igloo; one must protect one's self from the constant flying hockey-pucks. :D

i have other plans...to go spend some quality time with someone in July...after i visit my friend in NC.

plus i'm probably going to be switching jobs about then...again. won't have a lot of beer money. i am thinking Canada in November tho...before it is ridiculously cold lol

Stupidity does not discriminate on the basis of race, nationality gender... despite occasional thoughts to the contrary.

And somehow stupidity always rises to the top. I am thinking it is probably a physics thing...

or his racquet being thrown at you? lol

I have been trying for some time to recall the source of that story. I vaguely remembered it from... 3rd grade I think. But couldn't remember nearly enough to hope to have a shot at a successful search. Really wanted to read it again.
