The Rampant, Irresponsible Political Thread

[AaronB]

DuBois: Hey boys! I can't help but noticing your sign and I hope you boys aren't too upset about me having to prosecute Mr. Kelly.

Huey: Hey man, you do what you gotta do

Riley: Why R. Kelly, huh?! What did R. Kelly do to you?

DuBois: He's accused of relieving himself on an underage girl on tape, which is against the law.

Riley: Okay, okay, okay. But let's examine this whole peeing thing. So I can pee in a toilet, and it's okay, but if I pee on a person, it's like, not okay?

DuBois: Well... umm, yeah.

Riley: Well, what if I'm peeing, and Huey's in the bathroom, and I accidentally pee on Huey? Should I go to jail?

Huey: What the hell would I be doing in the bathroom when you're in the bathroom?

Riley: Hold up, hold up. Remember when we used to sleep in the same bed when we was littler? From time to time I'd have a little accident.

Huey: You still do.

Riley: Shut up! So, Mr. DuBois, Mr. I-wanna-lock-niggas-up-for-peein, what's the statute of limitations on bedwetting? Why not prosecute me and R. Kelly at the same time, huh?

DuBois: Now Riley, no one's going to prosecute you for bedwetting.

Riley: And you shouldn't. It's a natural bodily function, and now every nigga in the world gonna be scared to pee. I may never pee again!

DuBois: Riley, it was a little girl.

Riley: Oh, I seen that girl. She ain't little. I'm little.

DuBois: Yes.

Riley: Gary Coleman's little.

BuBois: Yeah.

Riley: Mini-me's little.

DuBois: Very.

Riley: And to the best of my knowledge, we all managed to avoid gettin peed on so far.

DuBois: But what about the victim?!

Riley: Oh yes, the victim. At what point does personal responsibility become a factor in this equation?

DuBois: I don't think that--

Riley: I see piss coming I move.

DuBois: Hmmm.

Riley: She saw piss coming she stayed.

Du Bois: Yeah she did but...

Riley: And why should I have to miss out on the next R. Kelly album just for that?!

Riley walks off.

Huey: Man, you just got beat by an 8-year-old.

Riley: Aaaaand, if R. Kelly goes to jail, I'll piss on your cat!

um, yeah. sure.

A Pakistani minister and womanÆs activist was shot dead Tuesday by an Islamic extremist for refusing to wear the veil.

Zilla Huma Usman, the minister for social welfare in Punjab province and an ally of President Pervez Musharraf, was killed as she was about to deliver a speech to dozens of party activists, by a ôfanaticö, who believed that she was dressed inappropriately and that women should not be involved in politics, officials said.

Usman, 35, was wearing the shalwar kameez worn by many professional women in Pakistan, but did not cover her head.

1- Extremists don't define the entire religion.
2- It's from FOX News.

[Dr Maturin]

1- Extremists don't define the entire religion.

When it comes to Christianity, no. But try reading the story of Muhammad some time.

2- It's from FOX News.

Cool, a vacuous dismissal! For one, Fox News is NOT the original source. Did you even read it? Second, you're quick to shun Fox News; who are you going to turn to, a network that forged documents during a presidential campaign?

[David Panzer]

Extremists in ANY group do not speak for the entire group, no matter how popular that group may be among the political right in this country.

I also equate all religions as scams.

As for fox "news", I prefer the BBC, NPR, MSNBC, The Onion, and ESPN.

Uh, okay.

I also equate all religions as scams.

If they're doing good things for people, then let them scam. If they're causing problems, then being a "scam" is the least of our worries.

As for fox "news", I prefer the BBC, NPR, MSNBC, The Onion, and ESPN.

Ugh, all awful. Although I do sometimes sleep to the classical music that plays on NPR overnight.

Heh, Juan Williams from NPR.

"People shouldn't be allowed to be this stupid. Not even in America."

[Donald]

Try reading Revelations. VERY scary stuff.

Cool, a vacuous dismissal! For one, Fox News is NOT the original source. Did you even read it? Second, you're quick to shun Fox News; who are you going to turn to, a network that forged documents during a presidential campaign?

I'm sorry but I don't trust anything from FOX News even if it is not the original. They spin and lie. Personally, I trust very few news sources.

[Dr Maturin]

Try reading Revelations. VERY scary stuff.

I know more about Revelation (No "S") than most people. Now, if you believe that the prophecies will come true, then it can be scary depending upon your view. However, reading what Muhammad actually did is truly frightening to anybody.

I'm sorry but I don't trust anything from FOX News even if it is not the original. They spin and lie. Personally, I trust very few news sources.

No they don't. Sorry. And do you realize that it's simply them linking to the original article? It's not them using a source in one of their own articles...

[Whyruss]

When it comes to Christianity, no. But try reading the story of Muhammad some time.

Sorry - but THAT was such a superficial and simply WRONG answer. The extremists just take some lines from the Koran, tear them out of the context and try to inflame their people against the west. The religon itself isn't aggressive or terror-like at all.

[David Panzer]

If they're doing good things for people, then let them scam. If they're causing problems, then being a "scam" is the least of our worries.

I respect a person's right to believe or not. That doesn't mean that I have to respect what they believe.

And what is this "our" you're referring to?

Ugh, all awful.

And that's the neat thing about this country- people can have differing opinions.

[Karachi Vyce]

The religon itself isn't aggressive or terror-like at all.

Complete and utter bullshit.

One of my greatest memories of law school was when one of the rather loud-mouthed Muslim (Nation of Islam specifically) members of one of my classes angrily disputed one of my professors when he (the professor) claimed that the Koran sanctioned (if not outright encouraged) spousal abuse in order for the husband to keep his woman "in line."

The Muslim took great offense to this. He was even more pissed off a couple days later, when at the next class the teacher actually came in and read him the specific passages of the Koran which flat-out condoned a Muslim man beating his women should they disobey him.

Islam is essentially a cult of oppression, violence, and frequently - death. It was this way from the very beginning.

[Dr Maturin]

Sorry - but THAT was such a superficial and simply WRONG answer. The extremists just take some lines from the Koran, tear them out of the context and try to inflame their people against the west. The religon itself isn't aggressive or terror-like at all.

Actually, Islam promotes spreading the religion by any means necessary; there is to be NO peaceful coexistence with non-Muslims, except during periods when they regroup while under a temporary (temporary only to the Muslims) treaty. The only way that non-Muslims may exist within Muslim society is by dhimmitude, where they are scorned and forced to pay a penalty tax. These aren't obscure verses of the Koran.

But the one major thing that makes Islam so illegitimate is that almost every verse of the Koran serves to benefit Mohammad. Just as many of the hadiths over the following years benefited their authors and constituents.

[Der Mike]

Because we all know the extremists that exist in a particular group ALWAYS speak for the entire group

Actually, they get A LOT of support from their "community". It's not a few fringe whackjobs.

1- Extremists don't define the entire religion.
2- It's from FOX News.

1 - Their pedophile, murdering prophet was an "extremist"? See, in Islam, he is the embodiment of perfection and the person all good Muslims should be like.

2 - NBC is going to have Keith Olbermann doing commentaries. That ALONE puts FNC ahead of MSNBC (which employs that useless dolt) and NBC (who humor that useless dolt). Fox actually has a top-flight NEWS division. If you hate their opinion guys, fine. You don't see O'Reilly or Hannity doing things like running the election desk. You DID see Matthews (in between spittle-laced tirades about Plame) and Olbermann doing that on MSNBC.

Actually, judging by the ratings, you probably didn't see it.

As for fox "news", I prefer the BBC, NPR, MSNBC, The Onion, and ESPN.

So the beef isn't bias. It's that you want the bias to be the other way. Got it. MSNBC is a journalistic joke compared to Fox.

Try reading Revelations. VERY scary stuff.

When Christians start slaughtering people and claiming they do it to honor God, you might have a point. Heck, even the Crusades, Christianity's "dark hour" were DEFENSIVE battles brought about by Muslim atrocities for centuries.

Sorry - but THAT was such a superficial and simply WRONG answer. The extremists just take some lines from the Koran, tear them out of the context and try to inflame their people against the west. The religon itself isn't aggressive or terror-like at all.

That, to be generous, is a blatant and obvious lie. The Koran is little more than violence. The pedophile, rapist prophet was a warrior and common thief.

As Vyce and LiM can tell you, I've gotten heat because I describe Islam for what it is and people get huffy --- Islam is a cult of Death. Nothing more.

[Dr Maturin]

I respect a person's right to believe or not. That doesn't mean that I have to respect what they believe.

Exactly! I have zero respect for Islamists!

And what is this "our" you're referring to?

I didn't mean to include you; by "our" I mean the people who know that there will be a Muslim majority by 2070 or so, and three of the nations encompassed within this majority are already nuclear.

And that's the neat thing about this country- people can have differing opinions.

No one said you couldn't. Yours on news sources is just bad.
