Not weird at all. There are no accidents, nobody dies unless their time is up. We all play our part in the great cosmic drama. It is for us to figure out what our role is and play it to the best of our abilities.

Take a walk across Pakistan- see if all your body parts arrive at the exit point together.
I think you missed the point. Everything is cause and effect. We are living in a vicious circle of causes and effects. Some time, when we get fed up with this merry go round, we will stop playing the game, stop being manipulated by those in control.

No I did not miss the point- The point is that there are some Muslims that would love to kill you. Just the facts.

lol We all know that UN people should have no opinions, I guess.

Heck if we could fire our politicians everytime they said things we didn't like, there'd be no politicians.

I don't agree with his comments that any of what he said relates to one another, but to fire him for expressing his right to freedom of expression and to silence anybody with an opposing view is a bit stupid.

Let him say what he wants and let the public decide if he's an idiot or not.

He was not acting as a private citizen.

And there are all kinds of Christians and others from other religions and backgrounds who'd love to kill you.... Another fact, thus kind of a moot point you're trying to make.

Again, see the first part of my comment relating to politicians.

How many Liberals, Conservatives, NDP's have you come across who've said something ignorant or baseless (or flat out lied) yet still kept their jobs?

Just bringing it to Cliffy's attention.

I'm of two minds.

Any one of us, in our lifetimes, has given people excuses (yes, excuses, not reasons) to attack us, hurt us, victimize us.

That does not make it our 'fault', any moreso than a terrorist attack on the US by citizens is their 'fault'.



But.



When talking about strife in the Middle East, I don't see this same level of 'watch what the hell you say and how you say it', when discussing terrorism, civil war, death, and chaos. Part of me really can't help but think there's a certain amount of double standard at play, demanding that people *****foot around any form of discussion pertaining to terrorism in the US.

gawd damn censor bot. pu ssy.

Part of you?

Part of you is right.

We have people and politicians barking on about how all Muslims are the same, how they all should be deported, locked up, bombed and/or killed.

There's a green light and an open door for saying whatever you want about Muslims, regardless if one is talking about some cave dwelling, bomb wearing extremists or a family down the street you've known for years.... To some they're all the same.

But if you say anything or point out anything remotely negative about the US or Israel, be prepared to lose your job or verbally attacked, or worse. (even if what you said was true)

Perhaps you know? But, I don't; so, there should be a free discussion, don't you think?

I was not trying to pigeon hole you one this.Basic human rights as accorded by the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights,economics, education to name a few.

That's lovely, would you apply that same logic to the Catholic church and how they have covered up pedophilia?


The global society has done exactly that... Interestingly enough, no other identifiable group has been hauled-up on this pedestal to the same degree as the RCC.

Does that mean that this doesn't happen anywhere else or maybe there is a convenient whipping-boy on this and/or there will be screams of racism and bigotry if that shoe is fit on the squeaky wheels of the world?

There is a macro picture on this and it doesn't take much to see the big picture

I dislike Muslims as much as Catholics so its all the same to me.


Great, then apply the same standard to ALL groups on this issue.

Quite frankly, I'm amazed that this isn't already the case... It is the kids that get victimized here that are the ones that pay the price. You'd think that they would be the solitary focus on this regardless of the individual or group that perpetrates the crime.
