What's on the idiot box...
I watched the first episode of the 3rd season of American Horror Story, it appears to be more outlandish than previous seasons but is shaping up to be just as excellent

Tel Afar, primary school attacked
Because you made a blanket statement against an entire religion. I could claim that all it takes to send male gamers into a froth is a young woman claiming that women are poorly represented in games. Just see the ****storm that gets pulled up there. A teenage girl with an opinion can freak out a lot of people regardless of whether or not they are a follower of Islam. I agree that there is a level of sexism and discrimination in certain gaming communities. This needs to be discussed and rejected. So this is also a campaign for equality activists, like me. But I also am opposed to religious fundamentalism

Your opinion is deeply flawed, you are suppose to hate AC3. Everyone knows that? I think you need time to reflect on what you saying and then repost

Just see the ****storm that gets pulled up there. A teenage girl with an opinion can freak out a lot of people regardless of whether or not they are a follower of Islam. Then how do you think, in general, women are viewed in Islamic countries? I've travelled and worked extensively in the Middle East and it is a fair statement that most Muslim countries follow a certain view of Islam that would be considered conservative to most of us. There is room for improvement around many social issues like womens rights. For example in Saudi Arabia women can't work or even drive a car. But then in UAE ( Dubai) women can work and you can buy alcohol. But then you get an interpretation of Islam from certain groups in places like Pakistan or Afghanistan that is just medieval and unacceptable. Where women shouldn't be educated and should have no rights at all. As I mentioned this needs to be addressed and condemned. I have come to realize that sometimes we need to just leave certain social fights until a country is ready for the changes. So in Saudi Arabia most of the women seem happy with the status quo. And since Saudi Arabia is a friend to the West we need to be cautious with insisting on changes or trying to enforce our way of life. I believe changes will come naturally in most places

She is very impressive for someone so young who has been through what she has been through It also begs the question " what type of people would shoot a 15 year old girl for wanting women to be educated" And these are the types of the people the West is suppose to negotiate with in places like Afghanistan

What you did today
lol..the thought of that just cracks me up Imagine this quiet, personal wedding and all these people from the forum using a number of RV camping and carousing in GB backyard
-
What you did today
She said yes! More details when I get home tomorrow! We all expect to be invited to the wedding. I have to say Hurlshot I didn't expect you to be so forward but I second your opinion. GD how soon before the wedding do you want the people from this forum that get invited to come through to the USA? I am thinking maybe 3-5 days so we don't suffer from any jetlag?

If this is true, IF this is true, then it will work out well for me as I plan to build a new rig late next year, and this releasing in early 2014 would fit that plan well: GTA V releases in March or April > Build new rig in September or October > Buy GTA V at 75% off during Winter Steam Sale. This is incredibly good news, to say I am elated and excited is an understatement. The first quarter of 2014 is sooner than I expected

What you did today
My cousin got arrested for dealing last week. I think everyone has a criminal cousin. Today I went to class, flirted with a sexy girl, and now am going to watch a movie. That's terrible, sorry to hear. What type of drugs was he caught dealing? Meth or coke. I am going to make a controversial point but one that people often debate. The way to deal with drugs is legalize everything. I have considered this and my reasons are No one actually stops taking drugs because it is a criminal offense. For example when was the last time you heard someone say "I'm not taking drugs anymore because person x was arrested" People will take drugs irrespective of whether its a criminal offense This is the way to truly break the power of the drug cartels Governments can tax the sale of drugs and ensure that at least the quality is pure You can have proper rehabilitation centres and decent awareness campaigns so that people can get the help they need if they are addicts Now before people say " how can you suggest such a thing" you need to realize that the so called "war on drugs " was lost the moment it was started. Its a simple dynamic. Supply and demand, there will always be drugs as people want them. Just because drugs would be legal it doesn't mean people will suddenly take them at work, take them at all or all the time. Its the same as alcohol, do you drink at work?

Wow that is a good deal. Pizza is really one of those few take-away foods that can taste as good the next day as when you ordered it

Tel Afar, primary school attacked
Okay but he may have edited his comments because it makes sense now. He is saying that you are not a Nazi if you criticize Israel, you could just have issues with there political decisions but you aren't anti semitic like Nazis were

Oh please, stop exaggerating, criticizing Islam is not the same as being an enemy of it. That's like saying I'm a Nazi for criticizing Israel. Which I do. How are you lining up that logic? I do get what NKKK is saying, he is saying to be critical of certain aspects of the practice of modern day Islam doesn't mean you are anti-Muslim There are certain times where we have all condemned what is clearly an anachronistic interpretation of Islam that we see practiced in certain countries. Also its not like the West doesn't receive loads of diatribe from Muslim extremists on forums and websites?
