Is any one getting as irritated as i am with these al quiwhoever and jihadidiots???

Al Qaeda militants in Iraq have vowed to wage war on the "worshippers of the cross" following the Pope's controversial comments about Islam being a 'violent religion'. Doesnt that seem a little hypocritical to wage war when your trying to show your full blown disgust at being called violent??

The vocal fringe of every classification of human, be it liberal, conservative, black, white, yellow, brown, gay, straight, Christian, Atheist, etc, etc, etc. is who represents your beliefs to the rest of the world. If you want the vocal fringe not to represent you then you have to become vocal!!

Just letting you all know that when I say Libotard, I am referring to the vocal fringe. Some right wingers would consider some of my views liberal.

How many more countries do you think will end up in the EU? Given that there seems to be a break down in the border between traditional Europe and former Asian countries, do you think other contriesclose to Europe like Morrocco , Tunisia Lebenon could ever be considered? Should the amount of countries be limited where we are right now?

The Modern Successor to the Slave Trade Ishaq



The Modern Successor to the Slave Trade

No longer should the peace business be undermined by the arms business

By Desmond Tutu

09/13/06 "The Independent" -- -- For many years, I've been involved in
the peace business, doing what I can to help people overcome their
differences. In doing so, I've also learnt a lot about the business of
war: the arms trade. In my opinion it is the modern slave trade. It is
an industry out of control: every day more than 1,000 people are killed
by conventional weapons. The vast majority of those people are innocent
men, women and children.

There have been international treaties to control the spread of nuclear,
chemical and biological weapons for decades. Yet, despite the mounting
death toll, there is still no treaty governing sales of all conventional
weapons from handguns to attack helicopters. As a result, weapons fall
into the wrong hands all too easily, fuelling human righ

Wrestlin' With Racism:
Cryme Tyme Hits Prime Time

Min. Paul Scott

The crowd of 20,000 rose to their feet as 6 foot 5,
400 pound, Mandingo "Tha Masked Minstrel" Jones headed
for the ring decked out in a bright red tuxedo and fur
coat and carrying a big bucket of fried chicken. The
announcer , obviously upset over his being 20 minutes
late, spits watermelon seeds at him as he strolls to
the ring with his main "Ho" Jazzybelle on his arm.
After pickpocketing the wallets from the people on the
front row, he tap dances into the ring, only to slip
on a chicken wing and get pinned 30 seconds later by
120 pound Bobby Taylor as the crowd erupts with
laughter....

Wrestling is racist! What a news flash, right? Anyone
even vaguely familiar with America's favorite guilty
pleasure would be hard pressed to argue with the fact
that the image of Black professional wrestlers has
left much to be desired. All of the negative
stereotypes that have, historically plagued Black
folks have always found a comfortable home in the
middle of the squared circle. Somehow, the
predominately , good ole boy audience always got a
hoot out of 450 pound Black men being reduced to
bumblin', bug eyed buffoons every week.

I remember as a child staying up way past midnight to
watch wrestlers with names like "Pork Chop " Cash
constantly get their behinds kicked by the golden boys
like Nature Boy Ric Flair. While Flair and the rest
of the boys strutted to the ring in diamond studded
robes the Brotha's came to the ring like they had just
escaped from the Crocket Plantation. I would always
wonder why the white dudes had the fancy moves like
the figure four leg locks and could triple flip off
the top rope but the only move the Black wrestler had
was that same ole head but.


Black wrestlers were also used to do what they did
best, scare the pants off of white folks. I remember
wrestlers such as Abdullah the Butcher rushing up on a
wrestlers and gouging their eyes out with number 2
pencils. And who could forget the witch doctor Papa
Shango who had little white kids sleeping with their
lights on. Perhaps the most stereotypical wrestler was
Kamala, the Ugandan Giant , a "savage cannibal from
dark Africa" who would wreck havoc on his opponents
with the help of his "trainer/master" some white dude
in a stocking mask.

While one may argue that like the Black actors from
the Steppin' Fectchin' Era, Black wrestlers had to
portray these characters in order to eat, what about
the Black wrestlers of the last decade like the
wrestlin' Pimp "The Godfather" who would come to the
ring surrounded by his "Ho's" or Booker T who has Ms.
Jones' kindergarten class walking around buggin'
their eyes and yellin' "CAN YOU DIG THAT...SUCKA'S!"

The latest bright idea of WWE owner Vincent K. McMahon
(yeah, the same dude who called wrestling's thugged
out version of Vanilla Ice, John Cena, "my *****" ) is
Cryme Tyme. The promos feature two gold toothed, gold
chain wearing Brothas, Shad and JTG preparing for what
promises to be a stellar career in the WWE by bumbling
their way through smoothie store robberies and muggin'
fools who get lost in tha hood while the announcer
urges listeners to "pop a 40 and check their Rollies."

One must wonder why this blatant diss of Black folks
wasn't stopped long ago. Could it be that most Black
men are ashamed to admit they occasionally flip from
the Monday Night Football game to watch a couple of
dudes in tights tryin' to pin each other? Or could it
be that our fearless "Civil Rights" leaders are
scared that some 400 pound steroid addicted masked
maniac may show up at their cribs one night and pile
drive them through their patios?

Now before I hear the familiar comeback of "Aw, you
people are sooo sensitive...lighten up, buddy. It's
just entertainment...geez guys." Do you think that the
Jewish community would tolerate a wrestler named
"Captain Kike, master of the kosher karate chop?" You
can best believe that Flyin' Father Francois Flanagan,
the homosexual priest who has the nasty habit of
inviting little boys to his dressing room would be met
with tons of angry letters from outraged members of
the gay and Catholic community.

But Black folks are supposed to accept all kinds of
disrespect with a "thank ya massa" and a big Kool Aid
smile.

I say enough is enough, we must start a petition to
demand that WWE cancels the Cryme Tyme story line,
immediately. We must send emails and letters telling
Vince McMahon that we will not take this disrespect
lying down on the mat!

It's time that we throw racism over the top rope, put
hatred in a head lock, give prejudiceness the pile
driver, beat tha...Aw, ya'll get the point.

As Hulk Hogan would say "Now, whatcha gonna do, when
the Black community runs wild on you!"

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, President Bush said that he had personally signed off the visa granted to Mr Khatami.

"I was interested to hear what he had to say," Mr Bush explained. "I'm interested in learning more about the Iranian government, how they think, what people think within the government."

Is that mean the Bush administration and CIA don't know much about Iranian?
Do you think we have a smart president saying that?

so the Pope has said something that offends the followers of Islam. Because of the violent reactions displayed in the past by the followers of Islam when they have been offended the Pope apologizes. Well, it seems to me that the Pope has nothing to apologize for,after all don't the violent protests staged by those of Islamic faith mirror the evil teaching of which the Pope spoke?

Are you starting to feel like you can't say anything or do anything without offending someone? This political correctness thing is insane. In the newspaper today a guy got thrown in a cell for 48 hours because he "revved his car engine in a racist way" (seriously, its in the daily mail folks, check it). It's frightening.
