Well, break out the champagne then cause we got promoted. Seriously, the boss made an error to inform you of other personnel's hiring or firing. The promotion is based on your work and the firing is based on her work. It would be tough dealing with her after the firing depending on her personality but taking the promotion is a no-brainer. Kooley, you need the money too.

It's time to drop the old rag and get a brand spankin new 13 year old, eh? These Japanese men just don't know how it's done.

More "sectarian" strife, only this time it's in Iraq of all places. Imagine that.

^ No, it can continue in an informative and civilized manner. You can teach and learn in the process. It doesn't have to be a cat or cock fight all the time, does it?

^ Bonefied_Critic used to be Hittlerette so that might have something to do with her sentiments about exterminations. And they say a name does not a woman make?

Originally posted by Castro: ^ It's convenient that the churches (or mosques) would go up in flames whenever people rise up againt the oil giants in Nigeria. You're on to something there, Castro. Check this out: Rioting in southern Nigerian city At least 20 people are believed to have died in two days of violence in the southern Nigerian city of Onitsha. Christian mobs rampaged through the city attacking Muslims in retaliation for anti-Christian riots in the north. Nigerian police said hundreds of Christian Ibos attacked houses belonging to Muslim Hausas when news of the northern clashes reached Onitsha. Danish cartoon protests in the north led to sectarian clashes which have seen dozens of deaths in four cities. On Wednesday, groups of Christian men wielding clubs and machetes rampaged through Onitsha for a second day attacking any members of the Muslim Hausa community they could find, according to witnesses. Read the rest.

Ah.. TPS reports and Office Space. The best movie ever made. Here's one of my favorite quotes: Peter Gibbons: (on the possibility of going to prison) The most they would do is put us for a few months into a white-collar, minimum-security resort! You know, they have conjugal visits there? Samir: They do? Michael Bolton: Shit. I'm a free man and I haven't had a conjugal visit in six months.

^ With all of my reservations about the "wadaado", I support them against the warlords. If nothing else, these men are guided by faith and not greed.

Originally posted by Khayr: That sense of being a Protective Father CLOUDS YOUR JUDGEMENT and you justify ALL YOUR REACTIONS as 'COMMEN SENSE', when dealing with similiar topics/subjects. [/i] It may only add to my reaction and not reverse it. Wrong is wrong saaxib. Even if I had squirrels for kids. I noticed Khayrow that you're into "moral relativisim" and other similar theories that many share that interest with you. Why don't you post something (a study or an essay) that explains what these terms are and how they affect people. That way, when you reference them in your posts, you won't have to repeat them as much since most people would be familiar, at least, with the concepts. Here's a good link on the issue. This should save you time and energy when you write these terms in BIG LETTERS in every post.

Northener, there are lies, there are damn lies and then there are statistics. Ducaqabe: you should have just said so atheer. The next time we read about a Somali man doing the same, we'll lynch him just the same. And when we read about an American who chronically sleeps around, he or she will meet the same fate.

Ducaqabe, are you lambasting the entire gallery because you support the man's actions? What is your take on this not-so-trivial issue brought forth? Some said it's unconscionable and haram, some said it's just plain gross yet others said it's allowed in Islam but no one shouted at the gallery "Please spare filmka aad inoo digeysaan." What film is that saaxib? Originally posted by Khayr: Your 'COMMON SENSE' carries with it a BIASNESS tht is reflective of your place and time in HISTORY. So if I'm of this time and place in history, is it safe then to assume that either you or the sexaholic senile are from another time and place in history?

Originally posted by Lidia: I'm puzzled that when an Imam, a religious teacher, says all prophets are sacred...no one has stepped up publicly (that I have seen) to defend the others at any time in the past. I find this lack of continuity a puzzling paradox that doesn't make sense. So, my question to you is, where was the public support when the other prophets received the same ridicule? Can you spell hypocrisy? No wait, that's too harsh. How about ignorance? No that's too harsh as well. What about misled? Atheer it's a good question but I suspect the response you might receive (probably from Khayr) is that our prophet is the most honorable man that ever lived. That this is true is without a doubt but that we dishonor his legacy every day is another matter altogether. I too await anyone who could tackle Lidia's question.

The article reads: When housing expenses are taken into consideration, over 40 percent of children are living in poverty.. I wonder how much overlap there is between the 40% of children living in poverty and the one where they're born out of wedlock. I'm not implying the latter causes the former but I'm sure there's some causal relationship between the two. It's such a complex situation that no one thing is the culprit. Callypso: "underachievers on an epic scale" you say? Well, let me tell you they're only marginally worse than their kin elsewhere. I'm pretty sure they don't take the gold medal. That is reserved for Somalia itself.

^ Indeed Sayyidka proudly belongs to this iconic group. The sad thing is, once you become acquainted with your own mortality, you wonder how your life will be remembered. Since the only guarantee we've ever been given is that we will die, theirs are not such unimaginable choices.

^ You're gonna make me read Tolstoy's mini-dictionary, aren't you?

^ That finger-pointing is an indication of the level of impotence we've reached individually and collectively. I'm all ears atheer. Tell me something. Tell me anything that would give me hope. Right now, I'm running on fumes. Edit: I believe it was Che Guevara who said: "A revolution without guns? It'll never work." So while watching The Motorcycle Diaries (a movie based on the diary of his early years), it painfully occured to me there are so few people on earth who have the moral fortitude, the strength of character and the selflessness to do what he later did. His was a predictable yet extremely rare reaction to injustices that remain with us to this day. He made a choice that directly impacted his life and the lives of countless others. Few of us can claim to be like Che, Malcom or Martin. Alas, I'm in the majority.

I just hug my kids a little tighter every day. It seems they're growing up into a world they know not what misery it holds. I weep for them and all the innocent ones yet to be born and those who are already suffering here.

Only now they're being robbed? I believe the heist began 58 years ago. This is "democracy" in action what the US, EU and Israel are doing. Too bad those whom the Palestinians have as brethren are busy boycotting Danish pastries or marrying 58 women. :rolleyes:

^ So if there's jab everywhere, inteen aadna hada?

Here's an excerpt of a speech he gave on April 12, 1964, a year or so before he was gunned down. In a perverse way, it's a blessing he didn't live to see Katrina and the plight of his people. And in retrospect, not much has changed about the 'democracy' that is America. May Allah grant him Jannah. No, I'm not an American. I'm one of the 22 million black people who are the victims of Americanism. One of the 22 million black people who are the victims of democracy, nothing but disguised hypocrisy. So, I'm not standing here speaking to you as an American, or a patriot, or a flag-saluter, or a flag- waver-no, not I. I'm speaking as a victim of this American system. And I see America through the eyes of the victim. I don't see any American dream; I see an American nightmare.... When white people are evenly divided, and black people have a bloc of votes of their own, it is left up to them to determine who's going to sit in the White House and who's going to be in the dog house. It was the black man's vote that put the present administration [of Democratic president Lyndon Johnson] in Washington, D.C. Your vote, your dumb vote, your ignorant vote, your wasted vote put in an administration in Washington, D.C., that has seen fit to pass every kind of legislation imaginable, saving you until last, then filibustering on top of that. And your and my leaders have the audacity to run around clapping their hands and talk about how much progress we're making. And what a good president we have.
