Is the end of the world near now? :D Seriously, UW - I completely disagree with what you call "scary stuff".

[Undesired Walrus]

Did you watch the end?!!

Did you watch the end?!!


When they mounted the nuclear device with parts of the lost AK47's from Iraq? :confused: :p

Who makes these defective flags for them?

Also, aren't they afraid of their own rags catching on fire?

I heard it's a Jewish company that produces the so called "Burn'o'Flags".

And if those Fundies catch fire and burn to death, they died while "Fighting for Freedom" - against an "Axis of Evil".
But instead getting a fancy gloriole, they have to bother about 72 crazy chicks babbling all day long about the latest Denver Clan episode that was translated into [fill in the blank].

No.

Why do you ask stupid questions you know the answer for already?

I don't know, but I was trying to see what the last word in his sign is supposed to say. I love spelling errors in protest signs no matter what the cause.:D

Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park on a Sunday Afternoon is the best free Entertainment in London. Highly recommended.WHenever on vacation I spend a few hours there. Take the Subway train to Marble Arch Station and Get off and walk.
Is the guy from Jamaica who stands perfectly still on a box for A Hour and then goes into a totally incomprehesible rant still there?

*snip* Scary stuff.


Would you finally explain what scary stuff you saw? :confused:
... besides the horrible talent of the cameraman. :p

Wait, why not tell me why you found nothing scary? And I don't mean 'boo!' scary.

... besides the horrible talent of the cameraman. :p

Man, you are a frustrating fool.

'Talent' means 'Good at something'. Therefore you mean, 'It's horrible he has such talent'. You can't even get simple insults right.

Try holding a camera in someone's face without being seen to be rude and impersonal.

First guy I saw there on Sunday.:)

The scary stuff? You mean like two British 20-somethings calling for the rule of a hypothetical God to be imposed over the Middle East?

When people loose that much faith in something that we in the West believe to be part of the shining light of human achievement, the rule of elected man, I feel sad that it is seemingly unappealing to these kids. I also find it slightly scary when they refuse to call themself British. They see themselves as Muslim and nothing else.

I'm sorry but that didn't scare me at all. After all, partly this is a result of a little crack between "our honorable western ideologies" and "our honorable Muslim ideologies".

By the way - and I don't want to discuss this issue again since there are many threads about this in recent (http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=83042) JREF/Politics-History already, an unjustified invasion of a Muslim country doesn't really bring "our honorable western ideologies across", don't you think?

In any way: Nothing to be scared about.

And yes: The lousy, visual part of the Video, thanks to the horrible talent of the cameraman, is indeed scary. :p

Well, seeing how Iraq was a secular state, and seeing how the kids in question say the Taliban was an imperfect Islamist state. 'we' haven't yet invaded any of these countries you talk about.

You are likely right Oliver, scary isn't the word.

It's just somewhat sad that Londoners who are born and bred and so forth, most likely second generation from their hard working parents who brought them over for a better life, feel they are not British but Muslim, and refuse to vote.
