it's really, really stupid to taunt fanatics who are famous for killing people

[spanone]

and to offer people $10,000 to do it is ultra-stupid.

....as my dearly departed dad would say, "you're cruisin' for a bruisin'"

i think they exceeded expectations.

12. Trying to gve someone a better life

does not compare with taunting people simply for the sake of taunting them.

11. Just move slowly and don't make eye contact.

Keep your voice down and don't make Daddy mad.





Yyyyyeah, fuck that. When people try to make others abide by the idiot restrictions of their idiot religions then they deserve taunting, castigating, and ridicule. I don't accept the limits the Jesus freaks try to pin on me and I won't accept limits that Islamists try to pin on me just because the aggrieved might get Super-Duper-Extra-Mad about it.
