"Peaceful" Islam Still Not Very Peaceful

I find a great deal of irony in the fact that Islam is supposed to be some derivative of the Arab word for peace. Granted, Christianity hasn't always owned up to its name either, Islam (at least currently) does not equal peace on the world stage. It equals totalitarianism, violence, and terrorism. Oops, looks like my political correctness just flew out the window.

My reason for this post is the recent demand from the Muslim world that the Pope deliver a satisfactory apology for offending the beliefs of Islam. I'm not a Catholic, though I am a Christian, but this is simply ridiculous. The Pope can say whatever he wants, he's the Pope. On top of that, as he has already stated, he was quoting something in order to illustrate that religions shouldn't be violent, especially not when it comes to violently coerced conversion (as both Muslims and Christians have done historically at one point or another). Who are the Muslims to demand that anyone who says something they don't like deliver a satisfactory public apology? Who do they think they are?

They're acting like they rule the world and that we (Christians) better say we're sorry or else they'll punish us. Does that sound like peace to you? Does that sound like the action of a peaceful and passive organization?

But perhaps I have it wrong. Let me think back on all the times the Muslim world delivered open and satisfactory public apologies for all the times various Muslims, mainstream or otherwise, offended Christians or Hindus or even Atheists. Hmm. I don't recall a single example of that!

It's an event like this that is going to define terms for a while to come. The Muslims are acting like they're in charge. Does that sound alright to you? They demand that everyone respect their beliefs while simultaneously disrespecting all faiths but their own. Does that sound fair, peaceful, or equitable to you? They expect even the leader of the (Catholic) Christian world to bow to their demands. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this seems like a precursor to some serious problems. How do you think the Muslims would react if the Pope called them out and demanded an apology, a satisfactory one at that, for every death due to the actions of Islamic Extremism? Let me think, my guess is that they would react by more killing, violence, outrage, riots, threats, and defiance.

I don't know about you, but this really ticks me off. I'm not about to sit back and nod along as the Muslims play "world dominator".

That's right. I got the game! Michell got it for my birthday. It is very, very, cool. Lasers away!

Are you a hot mom?

While listening to the radio at work today, I heard an odd commercial. It began "Are you a hot mom? Has anyone ever told you that you are a hot mom? If so, we're looking for you..." What else could a commercial like this be advertising but yet another ridiculous reality show called "Hottest Mom in America." Why don't they just call it "M.I.L.F.s" That's what everyone's going to be thinking anyway.

By the way, if you think your mom is hot, auditions will be held in Dallas on August 16. Spread the word.

Good Advice

Sometimes when I'm really bored at work (like today), I'll go on craigslist.com and look at the personals. I found one that had some hilarious, yet insightful advice about women personals. It went like:

"Advice for the Guys

bbw = fat chick
curvy = fat chick
queen sized = fat chick
big boned = fat chick
Great personality = fat chick
Life of the party = fat chick
HWP = fat chick
Losing weight = fat chick
Working with a personal trainer = fat chick
Non-judgmental = fat chick
TIred of superficial guys = fat chick

Don't let these deceitful women get to you!"

Some of it's a little mean, but funny...so that makes it okay in my book.

In addition, I think Daniel might be interested in this job opp I found under the "Human Resources" section: Opportunity

And I found a another good opp for Jason here.

Crocodile Hunter Killed in Ironic Way

Seriously, who would've thought that he would be slain by a stingray after spending his whole life screwing around with crocodiles, sharks, spitting cobras and Lord knows what else.
