Lifting the Veil on "Islamophobia"

by cofty in

the late christopher hitchens decribed the word islamophobia as "created by fascists, and used by cowards, to manipulate morons.. please take half an hour to read a fascinating conversation between sam harris and ayaan hirsi ali.. ayaan is an apostate from islam.

she fled to the netherlands in '92 to escape an arranged marriage and went on to become a member of the dutch government from 2003-2006.. ayaan is now a fellow with the future of diplomacy project at the belfer center for science and international affairs at the harvard kennedy school... she lives with round-the-clock security.. "some moderate muslims hate meand yes, thats a strong word, but i think what theyve said supports itbecause i make them feel uncomfortable.

the things i talk about put them in a state of dissonance that they cant live with.

It may be as simple, as in Abrahamic religion generally, to distinguish con-
servative/extreme and liberal stances. The hamhanded broadside swing giving all
misinformative/harmful conservative stances as being "Islam" would be
Islamophobia.

Guns and Roses fans?

by nonjwspouse in

i'm not one, but just caught the biography on tv.

i happened to have met axel roses ( as he called himself by then) parents in a friend's neighborhood in indianna.

when axel would come home for a visit in the midto late 80's police cars would always end up at the house.

Part of the Axel dance is from Davy Jones in "Daydream Believer" by the Monkees.

Christian Social Influence Continues to Decrease

by fulltimestudent in

a popular sydney news reader died this week (of cancer, at age 73).

the news reports from a number of sources were uniform in praising the man, both professionally and for his human qualities.. and, the obituaries all mentioned his partner:.

You can Vent here ... or Reinvent ... or .... Show us your Vent ...

by RubaDub in

so as not hijack a thread on someone who found this site as a recommended place to vent, i just want to make a few things clear to newer ones here:.

first if you wish to "vent", we prefer to see pictures of your vent (vent selfies are fine).. if you use the term "invent" (in vent) then we understand that to mean things you (or a close friend) are putting in your vent.. when you refer to "inventory" (invent ory) we understand that to mean the specific items you are inventing, or putting in your vent.. the word "reinvent" here means inventory items that you find pleasurable to invent over and over again.. if in doubt, just remember the expression "don't reinvent the wheel".

in other words, don't waste your time sticking a wheel in your vent.. hope this helps the newer ones here.. rub a dub.

Why are you looking forward to 1872? Er, 1873? Um...1874? Oh, I mean 1975?

by AndDontCallMeShirley in

"why are you looking forward to 1872?".

.. "in this chapter we present the bible evidence which indicates that six thousand years from the creation of adam were complete with a.d. 1872; and hence that, since a.d. 1872 are chronologically entered upon the seventh thousand or the millennium.

Give me some examples of 'good lawyers'.

by LogCon in

for some strange reason when i previously asked to give me examples of how evil attorneys are and then reworded to give me examples of evil lawyers, many misinterpreted that i was labeling all lawyers as evil.

i simply asked a question.

i did not state or imply anything.. now, without labeling all lawyers as good, what examples do you have of 'good lawyers'?.
