The kidnappers in Russia

QUOTE (Alex @ Sep 3 2004, 19:13)

People are now refusing to board flights if there are people who look like they are of "middle eastern" origin.

There was a muslim lady on my flight back from Barcelona and the customs officers spent about an hour checking her passport before she could board the flight. I was even feeling a bit nervous about getting on the plane with her.

 

I just can't believe what has happened in Russia over the past few days. Hearing it on the radio made my eyes well up. No matter what the Russians have done to the Chechnyans, that doesn't licence them to sink to this level of depravity. All the muslim faith seems to believe in is using people for its own ends. The terrorists all deserve to go to hell

Terrorism just doesn't work in anyones favour. Commiting babaric acts, just doesn't win people over to a cause.

Agreed. Everybody loses.

If I had my way I'd ethnically cleanse the muslims.

What a stupid comment. Maybe someone should ethnically cleanse you?

[LiquidEyes]

Alex, I don't think Kether was being serious.

 

In the general case you can reverse the meaning of his posts. Except when he's double-bluffing.

[Guest]

Ok, maybe he was joking but this is a serious issue and b/ although this kind of brutality goes on in the world, I have to agree with AlexV, it is not a joking or laughing matter so will people please refrain from such commments. Thanks.

[LiquidEyes]

I think the comment was blatant parody. I don't believe for a second that anyone intelligent enough to use a computer would believe that shit.

 

I hardly think the 'serious' forum has to be an humour-free / irony-free zone.

[Guest]

Fair enough Andy, but I feel that the post is not amusing as clearly does Alex V and as for the not believing it, as I say it goes on in the world which proves alot do believe in it, so hey ho, as i say please keep the humour on a level of funny not sick, ta.

Maria, sometimes "jokes" like that are a quick and simple way of getting a strong point across.

Just read the thread and yes it may get a strong point across, in a humourous way but I think from reading Maria and Alex V replies, it is not always appreciated.

 

Different sense of humours I guess

 

End of the day the world seems to be a really messed up place and it saddens and sickens me that this sort of thing goes on in the world I live in

[LiquidEyes]

Agreed Alex. I do not subscribe to this view that there are some things you "just don't joke about".

 

Ironically some of the most racist fuckers out there are people who totally mince their words & beat about the bush.

Too bloody true.

[betty boop]

trying to be diplomatic, you think?

[kingster28]

What this story about some Muslim cleric who said it'd be okay to take a British school hostage...i heard it on the radio earlier?

[russelldust]

If you can't understand irony then you're hardly going to be able to contribute in any meaningful way to serious issues and debates.

 

www.thickosareus.com is probably more appropriate.
