They are very dedicated students. In Indonesia, about 175 students at an Islamic school in Surabaya, in East Java province, signed a pact saying they are "ready to die" for Mohammed and would demand an apology from any Danes they met, said their headmaster, Yusuf Muhajir. Denmark has advised its citizens to leave Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/02/10/cartoon.protests/index.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

if u need to talk to me person call 336 229 4990 anyone do this yet? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the part I'm trying to focus on. Hopefully she won't be in my face about it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My attitude is.... how is this my fault? How am I the bad guy here? It's not like I was babysitting the kid and tossed the DVDs in. At any point during the 600+ minute miniseries, she could have turned off the tv. Instead, it's easier to blame me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's an HBO miniseries, people get shot in it. It's not my place to judge what her child should or shouldn't watch, I recommended it for the historical and entertainment value. The whole thing isn't one gigantic slaughter...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maybe two weeks ago I dropped by a coworkers cube for something work related. She was in the cube with her son (an unusual occurrence). I was introduced to her son, made some small talk and asked her my work related question. I got my answer and noticed that her 12 year old son was drawing drawing a battle scene with tanks and planes. It wasn't great artwork, but I could tell what was going on. I asked him about the picture and he started going on and on about WWII, naming the different types of tanks in his picture and what unit they were in. It struck a chord with me because I have a real interest in military history, particularly WWII. I spent another few minutes chatting about the picture and his interests, then went back to work. Thinking about my interaction that night at home, I decided to help foster the kid's interest through some means. The next day at work I mentioned to my coworker (her son was not there) if she had seen HBO's Band of Brothers. She said no, but she had heard of it. I offered to loan her the set with the caveat that there was a lot of swearing, some gore and a bit of female nudity. She said she'd watch them first and then decide. No problem with me, I brought in the DVD set and loaned them to her. Fast forward two weeks to today. I came into work this morning to find my DVD set on my office chair with a VERY nasty note on it. Apparently, it's my fault that she let her kid watch a guy get his legs blown off even after I warned her about the gore. I guess her son is also dropping the eff-bomb more frequently too. I haven't confronted the coworker about the note yet. I'm not sure what, if anything, I should say. I think I'll let the whole matter alone.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another good thing about Muslims is their very strict Sharia legal system. Thieves lose a hand. Rape victims are dismissed and publicly humilated. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Muslims don't keep dogs as pets. This leaves plenty of dogs for the chinese to eat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

hate to stray from the topic, but just being an infidel put me on their list. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Muslims have good memories. They have to in order to memorize the koran AND keep track of all the people they want to behead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These days, Islam and muslims are getting a pretty bad rap. Let's use this thread to mention some good things about Islam and Muslims. I'll start: Muslims don't drink and drive. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

where are you getting that information? in the documentary, herzog narrated that portion involving some issue with flying home. my impression was it was some commercial airline, not a private pilot. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chuck is a benevolent Chuck, he doesn't roundhouse people for paying homage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

how about Chuck Norris has never been in an animated cartoon series because no human artist can accurately capture Chuck Norris' rugged good looks and sublime buttocks. 3 have tried, but suffered fatal roundhouse kicks to the face for their failure. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i considered that too..... but i want to convey some homosexual awe... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i was looking for a different wording on "raw beauty".... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I came up with this: Chuck Norris has never been in an animated cartoon series because no human artist can accurately capture Chuck Norris' raw beauty. Several have tried, but suffered fatal roundhouse kicks to the face for their failure. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

you're asking for medical advice on a skydiving board? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was very interested to see the movie. I knew it was a documentary by Herzog and I was curious what slant (if any) he might put on it. I think Herzog did a wonderful job presenting Treadwell's story without any bias. I felt a tang of jealousy watching this movie. Treadwell was out in the world doing what he loved best and (in his mind) making a difference. The more of Treadwell's footage I saw, the more firmly conviced I was that he was a giant attention whore. I don't remember a single clip of the footage shown in the movie where he wasn't making some grand proclaimation about himself. i.e "I survive out here where no one else can. Without weapons". I'm sure there are hours of footage without such grandiose posturing, but I didn't see it. And that is one of the things I dislike about the film. Granted, this is a documentary about Treadwell and his life. I would have liked to seen more bear footage. and those foxes are absolutely adorable. I would recommend renting the film or watching it Discovery. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
