    I answered your question, told you when 9/11 was.

    If you don't want your questions answered . . . don't ask them.

    Honest to God, watching WHA and Bubbler go back and forth is painful.

    WHA is an idiot and proves it with every post. But what's really painful is watching Bubbler attempt to dumb down his posts so he can make sure WHA understands his insults.

    Bubs, piece of advice: Just play to the crowd.

    Is it difficult to figure out who flies planes into buildings or bombs Tel Aviv weddings?

    Help me here, because I'm not seeing any Chinese, Mexicans or Europeans doing this shit. 

    Turn the other cheek. OK. We'll continue to frisk infant kids at the airport rather than anything looking like a Muslim.
    It's late. I meant Arab.

    It means you and others like you should speak with fervor against your brothers in the faith who do.

    First off, babble, you can give it up. We all know it's your racist ass using a different screen name.

    Second, I love the fact that a couple of people keep using the phrase "people who fly airplanes into buildings." Like the shit's happening every damn day. It's happened once. You're gonna degrade an entire group of people for one terrorist act? God help the poor Christians then, what with those McVeigh, Nichols and Rudolph characters running around.

    You know, this is the second time that Chuck Taylor has popped on one of these threads and offered a bit of insight into the Muslim religion. Each time, the usual group of jackasses who have spent the last several posts lumping all who practice that religion into a big pile and shitting on them say the same things: Oh, well, we're not talking about you. Nooooo. You're one of the good ones. Tell me that doesn't sound like some shit you would've heard in the South about 30 years ago, as a group of white men talked about all the blacks.

    And I especially love babble's directive to Chuck, in which he tells him he should "speak" against his "brothers in the faith." (Please do this Chuck, since, you know, we couldn't possibly treat you like a NORMAL HUMAN BEING until you've stated publicly that you're not "one of the ragheads flying planes into buildings.")

    That violence against women is being perpetrated by people breaking the law.

    Yes, it's a problem, but it isn't accepted or condoned by most of us.

    So Chuck doesn't believe, for starters, that women should be covered from head to toe.

    In the context of every Arab country's line of thinking he is a defective, Western-corrupted heathen.

    Please don't put forth that these ideas about the treatment of women are perpetrated by some sort of extremist minority of the religion.

    Thanks, Chuck, though, for being a quality human being, assuming what you type is true.

    Just because there's a law against it doesn't mean it's not accepted. It's accepted when a situation like Brett Myers' can happen (I understand that situation has as much to do with celeb culture as it does with domestic violence, but it IS an accepted part of society.) Not condoned, necessarily, but definitely accepted.

    Don't take that personally -- I'm speaking in sociological terms, not individual. This has nothing to do with how you, personally, feel about violence against women. Obviously, few people are going to say they "accept" it, and I doubt that you or I or anyone else would say they do. That's not important -- it's how we, as a society, deal with it. And we, as a society, do seem to accept violence against women. Until it hits home, we shrug it off, we let it go, we ignore it, we ... accept it.

    We don't accept it.

    Now, yes, defective big people beating up on little people (figuratively and literally) goes back to the beginning of time. That will never change.

    But our country's mindset is NOT to oppress women every second of their lives.

    And our laws (which, of course, could be less forgiving in SO MANY areas) reflect that

    No.

    I don't think so.

    I think we are talking about something quite animalistic there.

    You most definitely are of a higher level of humanity than others (and, I presume, lower than a select few)

    Some of us are more animalistic than others.

    Some are PURELY animals (Gacy, Dahmer such).

    That's what I meant there.

    Unpreventable.
