To 44 percent of the people living in my country, I say this:

I hope your children are raped and murdered in front of you by a heterosexual white male, beaten, and stabbed to death. I hope that your place of business is destroyed by a disgruntled decendant of an original passenger on the mayflower. I hope that your grandparents are robbed of their life saving and thrown out onto the streets by someone wearing an American flag T-shirt.

Screw you, you hypocritical, ignorant, ******* bastards!

Um.

I don't quite agree with your latter statement, yet am in fact disturbed by the prior statement of fact.

However, there's gotta be something off kilter about this "study" or something.. either that or it was done at a KKK meeting. I can't believe 44% of a diverse study group felt it was OK to restrict the civil rights of a group of people whom happen to practice a certain religion. Even us "stupid Americans" value our civil liberties for all people.. well, most of us.

Smooth, calm the hell down. First of all, its not 44% of Americans, its 44% of the 715 people they polled. Its like the exit polls in the election. Just because a poll says one thing doesnt mean its true..
What if the poll said this?
45% of blind mentally handicapped midgets say that grass is red.

doesnt make it correct now does it?

Leatherneck is probably correct that Cornell more than likely did a little racial profiling of thier own in order to do this poll.

Well that' should have been expected - after all, remember what the US people did to the Japanese living there after Pearl Harbor? They put them into conteration camps... I heard the chinese ambassador was almost beaten because the angry mob mistook him for a japanese.

The media is to blame for this. That,and the urge politicians feel to please Israel... Just recently, the Israeli Prime Minister visited our country. The police, for no reason at all, arrested the leader of the Hungarian muslim community (there are very, very few muslims here) and kept him in jailfor days without telling him why or letting him consult with his lawyers.

Later it turned out, they accused himof hiring two Syrians to kill the Minister. Naturally, it wasn't true, as the two Syrians vitnesses didn't even knew the guy, and a month later, the case was dropped. But it sure made our politicians show to Israel how much they support their anti-muslim cause. :roll:

Madness...

But it was only 715 people. You'd think some of them would be Muslims themselves??

By the way, our country is up in arms about similar stuff. The climate of fear pervades all!

Yes, fear is rather marketable it seems.

I personally think every single action on this planet is inspired by fear.

Would be kind of sad. That's why I turn it around and tell myself every action is inspired by the desire for happiness.

A recent poll shows 56% of people don't believe in poll results. *Sigh* What a load. That dumbass report there should have just cut the bs and replaced "Muslim" with "Fanatical Terrorist". It would have properly demonstrated the intent they were going for. Jackasses.

I'd have no problem if they restricted the civil rights of ALL religious people. If people can't live their life without some fairytale explanation for why they're so special and how everything's going to be all right and how there's a big magical space monkey looking after them all the time then frankly they don't deserve freedom. They'd only waste it praying or evangelising and stuff.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

100% of Dylan never heard of Coke 2 before.

100% of Dylan feels space monkeys have been abused for parody too often. It should stop here. Same with hamsters.

We need original stuff, folks!


On a related note: I just started reading 'The Wizard of Ads', on marketing and such. I am guessing Denyer has read it too. :)

Part of the new "carb-friendly" line of food products (at least here in the US of A). Think "liquid cardboard". Flat liquid cardboard at that.

40% of liquid cardboard consumers think "before" from the statement above and "to be" from Shakespeare are hints at apartment numbers.

I don't get it? Shouldn't !(2*B) accept arguments of some sort? Or does B in the first instance become B in the second instance? Not that it matters though because unless B in the second instance is 0 then !(2*B) will return 1, surely? Though of course that's likely to vary one compiler to the next...

1) You should always be in love.
2) Fight only yourself, and be your own strongest ally as well.
3) Never write about the lives of others, and never read about your own.

Hmm...

Lacks definition of B. Must be some kind of on-the-fly scripting interpreter.

Of course, the above expression could mean anything*, depending on what its author intends.

*within reason.
