People doing good things and bad things, being open minded, liberal, closed minded, conservative or extreme has in my view got no excusivity as to with wether or not they are religious. There are many devout Christians, Muslims, Seiks, ect. who are little short of tree hugging free-loving hippies, and many atheists who are just violent dickwads. The opposite of both is also true. All people are individuals, and remain so regardless of if they are part of a religious community. Believe it or not. As for the newspaper that started all this, they did apologise, but not until it was far, far too late.

Shhhhh! Don't jynx it!

These characters are supposed to have depth?

It's a pity real life isn't more like Murder She Wrote. Approximtely three days of some old hag trundiling around interviewing people before finally devising an ingenious and totally correct soultion to the mystery, despite the fact she still has absolutely no evidence to back any of it up. The perp always comes quietly though. Why? Nobody knows...

This one works best in a crowded bar or on the dance floor: *"Accidentally" lightly knock/kick girl, ideally on some seggestive body part if possible* "Oh I'm sorry, here, let me kiss it better..." Inspired by a true story.

Happy birthday Ashely! Hold on, I'll go get the chips and dip. *Dons a black thong and grabs pike and net.*

I'm pretty sure they have to show their faces when moving in and out of passport control. Also I think most hijabs are just like head scarves, as opposed to those full body affairs. Where's Fierce_Link when you need him?

Most of what khilafah is rubbish. That would be like saying all Christians and the Ugandian LRA are one and the same. I think he has a point about the total ban on religous cultural symbols in French schools though. The French government's ironically religious devotion to the secular state is proof positive that atheism can itself be fundementalist, even to the point of extremity. Also the intellectual bitch slapping between the "free speech" supporting European newspapers and the "outraged" press in the Islamic world continues on it's own pointless and inane path. Apparently a newspaper in Iran intends to release cartoons satirising the Jewish holocaust. This whole exercise is now officialy, totally pointless. We'll all laugh at this when it's all over. You see if we don't.

Whoa, that's tough Raining_again. Now I'm sitting here feeling like a pretty lucky fuck that I haven't had to deal with this kind of shit in my life (so far). I honestly can't imagine how I would handle it if one of my mates got hit by a car.

I just thought it was slightly ironic that you were threatening to commit acts of violence against people who were threatening to commit acts of violence.

What? Sony make great TVs. Furthermore, you can't play video games on projection TVs or else they may damage it. A stand alone projector doesn't have much calrity, unless you also have a big wall and a screen board. And where to install the projector? Go get yourself a nice HD flatscreen.

Didn't the guy who dressed as a terrorist make a similar apology today?

Give it back. Your refusal to inform the original store of their computer error is stealing! Remember - it's still robbery even if the victim is a major corperation.

You can't simply accuse a group of people of being scum though, even if they are commiting wrong. It is an uneducated and purile insult, and is not much better then those idiots waving pro-terroist placards in the streets.

I don't know much about that particular model, but if you're getting Sony you can be assured of quality.

Yeah, that whole incident with the ferry has nothing to do with the cartoon protests. It's a desperate situation and a national tragedy, and it's really no wonder they are upset. Let's leave that ferry out of this discussion now.

"My two favourite things are commitment and improving myself." I got that one from Futurama, and god help us all, it actually works. Telling a chick you're a homosexual also yields disturbingly succesful results.

Ya' know, I knew as soon as I joined this forum I KNEW I would be driven to kill someone on here one day. I just knew...

Holy crap dude, I just saw the pictures. What the hell did you roll it into, a combine harvester? Glad you're still walking and talking.

Ouch, sorry to hear that. Seems to be a week for forum members getting buggered - twighlight-link crashed his car.

I refuse to sign this petition on the basis that it encourages abuse of our freedom of speech, and that this form of "freedom of speech" is to me little different to the violent protests that have resulted in the blatant and unjustified attacks on the Danish and Norweigien embassys across the Islamic world. I feel that this form of abuse of freedom of speech on both sides is not and should not be considered democratic.

"Hi, my name is gaggle, and I'm an alcoholic...." Works surprisingly well, but only at the right time in the right place, for some reason.

Agreed. There's always two sides to every story.

You gotta admit though, the cartoons were pretty insensitive given both the Islamic faith and the current political situation. I don't support burning embassys and attacking foreign missions, but the cartoonist and the newspaper editors responsible must have had at least a small idea that something like this was bound to happen if they published them. Freedom of speech is all very well, but everyone needs to be more responsible with it. Newspaper editors and Islamic extremists alike.

All of Saddam Hussain's body doubles still loyal to him are hiding out in a disused bunker togther. One of them walks in and says "Ok, I've got good news and bad news. The good news, Saddamn Hussain has finally escaped from his American captors. So you've all got your jobs back." Everyone cheers. "The bad news is he's lost one of his arms."
