Stay Classy, Europe

[Dinner]

yawn...

Let's try to not forget that I'm Arabic descent and I know a crapload of Muslims and supposed Muslims. Never seen anything like what you describe.

That 0.1% that hits the headlines is representative only to bigots like you.

There are a ton of news reports about what happens to many women who don't tow the line but, I know, anyone who agrees these women should have a better life is just a bigot even if they're the governments of Muslim nations who do it. You're getting lazy my little wannabe Nazi friend.

[gribbler]

You're supposed to point out how the burqa is banned in Turkey, Tunisia, etc. You're slipping.

Anyway, the French ban extends to headscarves like so:


Yeah real tool of oppression that one is.


Meanwhile, in America, we have free exercise of religion.


Frankly, by banning visible representations of religion, you're causing Islam to appear unusual and foreign and not the religion of large numbers of people around you. Familiarity can breed contempt but it also breeds awareness.

I've heard it said that the opening up to pro-gay rights by the American population is directly attributed to the increasing appearance of openly gay characters in tv/film and more gay individuals willing to come out. Being gay is no longer so odd and queer and people understand that people just like them are gay.

No, you're just stopping the Muslims from making themselves look unusual and foreign. I don't think Mormons would gain more acceptance if they started dressing strangely.

[Al B. Sure!]

Hey in this very thread, we are told that all the news reports about Europeans being racist doesn't mean ****... why are Muslims not given the same courtesy?

[Al B. Sure!]

I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

[gribbler]

I hope you don't think that's clever. It's just annoying.

[Al B. Sure!]

I hope you don't think that's clever. It's just annoying.

Are you aware that there are people in this world that have a severe medical condition which causes them to be that way? My mother for instance is one of those people. She is a truck driver that has bad knees and a bad back from driving the truck but you probably do not care about that case either. Oh well I am not one of those people I am 6'2" 190lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say something like to my mother in front of me. Probably never happen though you are probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would say that to someones face. Just my thought.What do you think. Oh I am sorry you probably do not have a brain. I on the other hand will be happy to buy you a plane ticket to come here and see if you have the nerve to say that to someone I know.

[gribbler]

You're the one who is actually being an "internet tough guy" by bragging about your physical strength.

Also, I thought you didn't drink?

[Al B. Sure!]

Dude I think you might have something wrong with your brain. Why are you trying to be all cyberbully on me. Do you really think anyone cares about you. You talk to people like they are trash. Why would you want to come off like that. Does it make you feel tough? Are you trying to make up for having a small smelly dick? You need to see a shrink. Have fun going through life wondering why people don't like you. I'll give you a hint though, you try to make others feel like ****. But you have failed on me. I know what you are. See, the thing is, I'm a nice guy. You on the other hand can't control your stupidity. You really don't even realize that you are a jerk ,do you? When your older maybe you can look back on times like this and see that you where unnecessarily rude to people you don't know. Right now you think you are being cleaver and it is just a fun time. Keep treating people like you do and see where you end up. You can not compete with my intellect so I warn you to give up before you embarrass yourself further..

[gribbler]

1. I'm not trying to "cyberbully" you. However, I don't have enormous amounts of respect for you as a result of reading some of your posts.
2. I don't think anyone on the internet cares about what I say, except for you because you've taken the time to write a long rant.
3. You live in a trashy city.
4. I do not feel tough. I also don't feel particularly threatened by your " 6'2" 190 lbs." nonsense.
5. I do not have any problems with my dick.
6. Thank you for your concern and taking the time to recommend that I see a psychiatrist.
7. I don't wonder why you don't like me.
8. Thank you for the "hint".
9. I've failed? You're certainly not showing it.
10. You are not being terribly nice either.
11. Go ahead and call me stupid. I have no doubts that I'm smarter than you.
12. Are you really sober?

Take it up with who ever made that claim because I sure didn't.

[dannubis]

Speer is stupid and uninformed. This is the conculsion we all can draw from this one.

Unless you are a published theoretical physicist and have earned a Master of Science and two PhDs, have an IQ of 187, and went to college at 11, research String Theory at Caltech, switched disciplines from bosonic string theory to heterotic string theory and reconciled the black hole information paradox using a string network condensate approach, worked on the string theory implications of gamma rays from dark matter annihilations and considered a method for optimizing a 500 GeV particle detector to this end, jointly wrote a paper on supersolids to be presented at an Institute of Experimental Physics topical conference on Bose-Einstein condensates, keep a whiteboard in the living room for scientific theories containing virtual particles in quantum mechanics or series of Riemann zeta functions, then no you are not smarter than me.

Frankly, I don't like you. I think you're an *******. The sound of your piss hitting the urinal, it sounds feminine. If you were in the wild, I would attack you, even if you weren't in my food chain. I would go out of my way to attack you. If I were a lion and you were a tuna, I would swim out in the middle of the ocean and freaking eat you and then I'd bang your tuna girlfriend.

You are the biggest scum of these boards, your posts make me fuking rage because of not only how useless they are, but they are also so annoying it's beyond toleration. I wish you would gtfo already with your stupid ass fat self and leave us be. You don't contribute anything worthwhile, you just spam with these posts and annoy us all. I would like to know how you found Apolyton and what the **** can we do to get you to leave.

conclusions repeat themselves, just like history

[Dauphin]

Not really, he's quoting something in his posts, but I can't remember where it's from. Kind of removes the insanity of a freeflowing rant.

[Lorizael]

Err, was Speer's account hacked by the lovechild of KH and AAHZ?

[Kuciwalker]

Kinda sounds like TBBT.

[rah]

That was my thought also.

[Dauphin]

Looked it up. It's the Other Guys (at least the Tuna Fish bit, which is what I recognised). Didn't bother to look up where he got his earlier post quotes from.

[C0ckney]

is this going to be al's new tactic everytime he loses an argument?

[Imran Siddiqui]

He's hit another level of lameness. For my money, I'd rather keep gribbler and lose Al.

[Imran Siddiqui]

the french choose to ban all conspicuous religious symbols in schools (note: muslim women are pefectly free to wear the hijab on the street), because they consider themselves to be a secular society. there are also issues such as those i mentioned before. it's a complex issue, not a black and white one.

IIRC, the French also ban Christians from wearing cross necklaces in schools. So while I think the French go way too far in restricting religious freedom, I don't think they are just being anti-Muslim.

[C0ckney]

yeah, that's my understanding as well.

whatever people think of the restrictions, it's important to understand the reasons for them.

[Hauldren Collider]

I am seriously enjoying Al's adopted persona

[Dr Strangelove]

Do the French schools ban red kerchiefs? Little red stars or hammer-and-sickles? Pentagrams? Goat skulls? How about keffiyehs, particularily the ones with the barbed-wire pattern design?

[Dinner]

BTW the "Border Guardians" are a racist hate group which advocates killing people because of their race. I agree that we should make immigration a legal process but right now our immigration process is completely broken where even millionaire entrepreneurs can't get visas when they want to found businesses. That said, the Border Guardians are absolutely neo-Nazi white supremacists who claim people who are not of north-western European are subhuman and inferior to German-Celtic groups. Hell, I'm from a german-celtic group (specifically mostly British with 1/8th French background) but think these guys are pieces of trash who should be shot.

[Dinner]

They seem to be made up of mostly 400 pound 50 year old neo-Nazis. But damn if they don't wear acres of camo clothes and have an AR-15 each.

[Al B. Sure!]

Hey you know that guy J.T. Ready was a registered Democrat, right?

For a court to ultimately decide if they would be "ostentatiously" religious.
