heh heh... i just posted a response in a thread about the Immg. protests
that's going to get me slammed.

It's in a different forum. Someone wrote

This morning -- from a cave somewhere in Pakistan --
Taliban Minister of Migration, Mohammed Omar, warned
the United States that if military action against Iraq continues,
Taliban authorities will cut off America's supply of convenience store
managers.
If this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be
next.

It's getting ugly.


I replied,

It surely is. When our responses to such an important issue are based on racism and ignorance -- ugly indeed. (Even when veiled as humor.)

:eyes: People are so effing ignorant. That forum is notorious for RW ignorance, for spouting the straight party line. I think Limbaugh is a deity over there for some people.

way past my bedtime. 'night, all. :grouphug:

2. so far i've only been told to "lighten up"
but tomorrow morning.... i don't know why i offer my opinion on these things. i am so thin skinned, and my BP rises at the drop of a hat.

But i refuse not to make my opinion known. People who want to slam me for having an opinion can go spit. I haven't denied them their own opinion.

Sweet crispy Jeezus. :eyes:

okay. NOW 'night, al.
