The 5th. The day after the elections.

The day after the elections, a 5th will be in order.

[TheMercenary]

No doubt. I am actually looking forward to it. I am really interested in what the statistical demographics are going to look like. Who voted for who and from where. I imagine the population clusters for the Demoncrats will not be unlike 2000 or 2004. Same for the Republickins. Something will be throwing one side over to a winner. Unless it is a landslide by NoBama (possible) the only other choice would be a slim win by McCain (possible), and in the end we will remain essentially what we are today, as on this forum, deeply divided.

/sarcasm.

I got one of those DVDs in the mail. What is it supposed to be about?

Merc I do find your mangling of Obama's name both cheap and wearing. I'd say the same if someone was doing it to McCain or Palin and posted it as often as you do. It's schoolyard stuff and does nothing to improve the points you are trying to make.

OK, lemme get this str8. They are launching the 4th on the 5th or with a fifth?

The threat of extremist Islamic people the world over pose to our peace-loving way of life. A scare tactic for the election season.

A forth with a fifth. That is the only solution. Washed down with a pint.

Oh, I am sooooo sorry. My bad....

Oh, I am sooooo sorry. My bad....

Apology accepted.

You know what?
This thread gives me hope.

I see (read) Americans defending Muslims. And accepting that Islam is a religious choice and not necessarily a devil's mark which denotes genocidal tendencies.

And I am pretty sure that those who have positive personal experiences of Islam are in the minority, meaning that the others are just taking it on faith (ahem) in human nature.

Thank you for unintentionally bolstering my faith in reasoning human beings.

[TheMercenary]

I do believe that the majority of Islamic people are peaceful and loving. Same goes for all religions. There are extremists in all aspects of society. But sometimes, as history has shown us, small segments of these groups can get the masses to do things that they would not otherwise do. Do you not think that radical elements of society can do this?

[Sundae]

Of course - I've already mentioned what happens When Good Christians Go Bad.

My post was sincerely meant as a positive post about Dwellars seeing people rather than religion. I don't think that was the case three years ago and I view it as a step forward.

You and I are on the opposite side of the argument in many things, and this is one, but again I am heartened by your last post. And again, it gives me hope. I'm not an apologist and you are not racist. We can agree to disagree.

[TheMercenary]

Thank you for you post. And thank you for seeing through some of my comments, if you knew me personally you would know that I am far from racist, I am certainly not a right wing conservative bible thumper. I have not been in a church for years, well not to include since my father died and before that when my sister died. I have extremely liberal views on some things, and conservative views on others. I like to play devils advocate to extremely liberal comments as well. Most people miss the point. Thanks again. You are a good person.

*Nods* I have the same response to the constant mangling of Hillary's name into Hitlery. It's vile. I don't care what your political grief with her is, the reason she's so hated is that she's a woman who got uppity.
