Hands free whopper?

Then we need to look for reasons why some muslims can be perfect citizens and integrate successfully into western cultures and why some end up like Michael Adebolajo, Tsarnaevs, or Sweden rioters. I already posted in other thread that maybe it is time to rewrite Quran so it would be less violent? I have muslims friends on my soccer team who are great people and we have no problems playing together or having beer after game and talking about any topics. What made them different from the ones who end up committing terror acts?

Yup, I would agree with you. The approach you mention is a sociological approach, and to me it is the most important of approaches to try and understand, and fix an underlying issue. Personally, all I have is guesses-- without great substantiation. Hopefully attacks committed by Muslim terrorists continue to be condemned by many Muslims (as they have been), and they grow to become non-existent, as Muslims begin to establish multiple generations in their western homelands. We need to find out why these kids are resorting to not identifying with their western nations, and why they identify more with whatever terrorist faction they choose to join.


EDIT: Re-writing the Quran isn't the solution. It is the leaders of countries creating interpretations from it, to most suit their over-controlling regimes that are causing many of the problems

AKMVPs mom gave me a hands-free whopper the other day.



It wasn't too great.

Sigh....must you make me work a day into your reinstatement.

I didn't feel this was largely out of line with some of the other Archie/Beantown/whatever posts out there-- but I understand that I just got back in so I shouldn't make a splash or anything. Apologies.

Just curious - are you apologizing to moderator, to me or my mom?

Taking mom jokes personally...just proves the mom joke.

In some cultures joking about someones mother can get you killed. Mother is the most sacred/important/loved family member for some. So I never joke about other people mothers and I expect same respect from others.

In some cultures, insulting a country can get you killed as well. Not in this culture, thankfully. And, we don't give a **** about trivial mom jokes in this culture either. So just call his mom fat or something, and let's move on.

That's the irony of the mom joke in the U.S. It's typically a joke told between close friends or within a close group of friends. It's supposed to be so outrageous and below the belt as to not even be taken seriously.

In some countries, wearing the wrong cap to a baseball game can get you beaten into a coma or killed.

Pink slugs are more interesting than some guy who still watches Big Mommas House and does Your Momma Jokes. I know you picked up a movie about the year 1995 three days ago and want to explain to us how much you learned, but brother please.... this the year 2013!
