I missed the show last night- mainly because I don't go out of my way to watch O'Reilly (there's already a topic on this, please, don't beat any dead horses in here), but Adam Carolla was on and critiquing not only the stupidity of the Coexist bumper sticker on the car stolen by the Boston bomber(s), but also Islam itself! It's really on point and hitting the nail on the head! I love it! [Beer]

O'Reilly is a king-sized tool. Corolla was funny...and correct.
Carl, I really can't argue with that... That's probably the reason I like Carolla, he's educated.
I don't agree with his feelings on Boston. When I've visited Boston, I've run into the most bigoted people I've ever met. While I know it's not all of them, it's a greater percentage than any other city I've visited.
If you are white and possibly Irish, it isn't a bad place to be [Beer]Quote:

Isn't that the point of having thick skin?Quote:

I tried to listen to it but 5+ hours of talking about screwing a dolphin just doesn't do it for me.Quote:

O'Reilly hasn't seen the COEXIST sticker? What F-n planet does this elitist live on? I thought he was suppose to be a common man? Idiot!
Reporters commonly ask questions that they know the answer to so that the viewers are all on the same page.Quote:

But then again, so are Blacks and Asians (especially the Chinese) . . . part of their culture too. I hear the Germans and Italians are also somewhat racist. In fact, talking shit about people who are different from you seems common to nearly every nation, race, religion, and creed. They only seem to bitch about it here in America . . . and only when "privileged White males" do it . . . in fact, I've even heard several Libtards state that "it is impossible to be racist against White people." As long as no-one is actually being beaten, persecuted, or denied employment based upon their race/religion/nationality/whatever, I fail to see how this is still considered a "major issue" anymore. So someone overheard a slur and got their feelings hurt . . . that's life, deal with it and move on.
The Irish as a whole aren't racist, they hate everyone equally. The British abused and enslaved them for a thousand years, so that tends to create a very thick skin and gallows humor. They are a people who are not having a good time unless they are verbally or physically assaulting someone. I know this because I am Irish. I love my family, but I have been in fistfights with all of them. Do we use salty and racist language, yes because if you want to get under someone's skin that is the fastest way. By the same token you can find Irish hanging out with every other race and culture too, as long as they are stand-up guys. There is no patience for whining or someone that des not hold their own in a fight.
The thing about the Irish is they don't self-censor . . . they say whatever crosses their mind and generally tell the truth. Here's a link you might enjoy about multiculturalism in Ireland: "It's okay . . . I SPEAK IRISH!"Quote:

Admittedly, I really didn't help.
I think the problem is this: A Christian sees a person feeding the hungry and clothing the needy, and say that's a good Christian. A Muslim sees someone blow up a Jewish daycare and they say that's a good Muslim.

Priuses on the other hand, HIPPY DOUCHES!!!
I'm so sick of this Boston shit every time I turn around its the only thing people are talking about. More people died in the avalanche in Colorado last week and what about the Texas explosion what 15 people died there and you barely hear a word about it
Derailed? Nah... "enhanced". :-) Some of the best conversations (IMHO) on here have been where the thread meandered a few miles off of the original topic. :-)Quote:

It's the majority of what's being talked about in the same line of thinking that 9/11 was widely discussed afterward, but no one seemed to notice that 5 people were killed that same week in a roll over accident in some other part of the country.Quote:

After-all, it took place two days before the anniversary and less than 15 miles from Waco. Just sayin
Most residents of NYC don't drive or even own cars because it's easier to walk or take public transportation.Quote:

That said, even if they were all over the place, Bill likely wouldn't have seen them because it's difficult to observe your surroundings when your head is jammed that far up your own ass.

I think it would be a safe bet to assume these people commit these atrocities largely because of the fame or the infamy they receive afterwards, that's why its annoying to me
I don't know what's your problem in this site, but i am muslim and i find it the only logic way to follow, Do you want to convert muslims to be Man-worshipers or God rejectors ? I can't get it [hahhah-no]
Where's my troll spray?Quote:
