the more i think about what mr williams said, the less respect i have for him.

if he wrote about civil rights, his books must really miss the mark.

bigoted profiling.

10. Yep. He's also done skydiving, rally car racing and the wiki says scuba diving but...
...I'd read somewhere that he'd actually trained in underwater demolitions so, frogman.

He's actually an interesting guy. Without going too much into it, at least when he was a prince, he would go out into the kingdom in disguise and just go different places, check on what people thought, ask their opinions in casual conversations. There was an amusing anecdote where he was in a taxi and there was traffic congestion for some reason. The taxi driver, not knowing who his passanger really was was alleged to have blamed it on the prince's extravagant means of travel.

LOL.

All monarchs should be hanging by their necks from lamp posts but he's not too bad as far as their lot goes.

4. He looks like the type who would wipe his ass with the Constitution
Despite the beard and turban, I still don't trust him.

6. Oh, excellent, excellent! Wish I could give you a thousand recs!
I've thought for many years that Juan Williams (Juan? What kind of American name is that?) is an asshat.

He finally proved it beyond any possible doubt.

Wonderful OP!

8. And here is an 'evil' catholic nun helping women in prison
Sister Teresa Fitzgerald Helps Children Of Imprisoned Mothers

Moved by the struggles of young children whose mothers are in prison, one New York nun felt called to take action.

CBS Evening News reports Sister Teresa Fitzgerald founded an organization to help families while mothers are incarcerated and after they are released.

Called Hour Children, the Long Island nonprofit provides services to mothers and children, helping them cope while separated and start fresh once the mothers have completed their sentence.

CBS Evening News interviewed Sister Teresa Fitzgerald, as part of their ongoing American Spirit series.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/10/12/sister-teresa-fitzgerald-_n_760077.html

But don't tell the Juan Williams' here because they have their minds made up that all religions, especially catholics, are evil and bad.
