Should it be re-classified as humor and sarcasm?

"you" being strictly metaphorical.

It seems the least tolerance I see both on R&S and in the real world, come from people who think that their God is the ONLY god, and all other gods are fake. Why would anyone get upset or intolerant - let alone persecute others - for devoting their life to something that is a complete fiction?

Am I missing something?

Most logical people would say no. My question is, why do you expect every Muslim alive, man woman and even unborn babies, to take the blame for what extremists are doing? Why should we have to feel guilty for what those who are obviously committing evil acts do? I know for a fact being an American born white woman that every single rapist, bank robber, murderer, etc has not been caught in the US. Does the US get blamed and told that until every single one of them is caught that nothing it says will be respected? Should all Christians to this day be blamed for the Crusades and be told that no matter what they do they can't atone for it?

So why do it to the majority of Muslims? Most of us live in peace with our neighbors, don't want to dominate the world, and raise our children to be productive members of society helping those who need it.

PLANT CITY, Florida (AP) -- A 9-year-old boy died after being run over by a church float in a Christmas parade.

Jordan Hayes was walking alongside the float, handing out beads and candy, when his foot was caught by a wheel and he fell under the float Friday night, said Police Chief Bill McDaniel.

Parade watchers shouted at the driver to back up, but the pickup truck pulling the Greater Heights Family Worship Center float ran over Jordan a second time. The driver is Jordan's cousin, authorities said.

Jordan, of Inverness, Florida, had been in Plant City visiting a brother.

Go ahead, tell me how God let this happen. I'm all ears.
"This is a tragedy that defies words," McDaniel said. "This was supposed to be a time of celebration and joy, but it has turned into a terrible tragedy."

If we must keep the Sabbath as you all claim, then why do Sabbatarians Not follow the Old Testament Law exactly by keeping circumcision, animal sacrifices and keeping Passover?
If the Sabbath law is still in force, then why do they Not stone their own members when they break the Sabbath as the Old Testament Law said?

At Selly Oak hospital– which is part of the University Hospital Birmingham NHS foundation trust but also houses the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine – colleagues of wounded soldiers were not allowed to visit wearing uniform for fear of upsetting Muslim visitors and staff. Does anyone agree with the stance of the hospital? If so please could you explain? I am not trying to incite an arguement I just want to hear what people have to say.

The other one got ruined with weld burns and shrinkage due to childish washing up liquid fight with his friend.

Or should I bother at all as he has no respect for my gifts the other hats I bought him get lost when he looses his mind visiting his Mother or silly friends.

what does 'drugged senses'mean

It is hard to define the precise pleasures of the supermarket. Unlike the saloon, it does not hold out promise of drugged senses commonly considered basic to pleasure
