You went to all the hassle of creating this account and posting just so you could use that one line, didn't you

This is an obvious troll. I vote that we don't get into a big philisophic debate about this poster, his message, or anything else. Let it die - it's a suitable end to it.

No, it's an obvious joke. Funny as hell. Look at his profile. Haven't laughed this hard since JC was around.

Great, now that we obviously have the FBI "keyworded" into our forum, maybe we can covince them to buy a thousand MK3's for their G-rides.

I'm not religious, but putting Osama Bin Laden on the same level as Jesus Christ is wrong.

No one ever said they were on the same level. These are jokes, not statements.

Making fun of Osama - I have no problem with that and in fact encourage it. But at Islam's expense? - No. Bin Laden has already done the world a disservice by misrepresenting the Muslim religion. I think we are above actually helping him more.

No doubt it's a joke Tony, but it's in poor taste. And you know it doesn't belong in the general forum of this BBS.

I don't find it particularly funny, and I have a much wider sense of humour than most people. I do find it a bit offensive. Mostly stupid though.

Different people have different senses of humor, I guess. Personally, I laughed my ass off.

You know, the best way to deal with this nit-wit is to totally ignore him. I think someone already suggested that we just let it drop...like way up top. Sounds good to me.

Thank you, let's leave the trolls back on slashdot, where it's obvious that they don't care. I don't know, it could have been a bit funny if done right, but it's right at the maturity level of dead baby jokes now.

This is one that bothers me, as a grammar Nazi.
  • Islam (n) - a religion whose deity is Allah; also the civilization centered around the Islamic faith
  • Islamic (adj) - of or relating to Islam
  • Muslim (n) - a person who is an adherent of Islam
Sorry to bring it up, but everybody seems to misuse the terms. Probably because even journalists get it wrong, who we (at least used to) acknowledge as excellent grammarians.

Perhaps someday if someone in your family is killed in cold blood for something they had nothing to do with we can get together. You can preted to be Bin Laden and I can pretend to be the guy who took your family away from you and we can have a great laugh together.

Sounds fun doesn't it?

even sillier than all of this is that one of Osama's sons has copyrighted 'Bin Laden'. Apparently he wants to release a clothing label with it.

I thought it was a good joke, albeit in poor taste. Like Space Shuttle Challenger jokes, Irish jokes, Aboriginal jokes, Kiwi jokes, religious jokes etc.

Can you disable his account or would that be too severe?

I think he got the picture and quit already.

Myself, I thought it was funny, in limited quantities. But then again I rarely get offended by anything.

I heard the story differently. What I heard is that one of the members of his family already long-since owned a clothing business under that name, and that distributors in some european countries are choosing not to carry the line because the name has suddenly become a problem. I don't know which version of the story is correct.

This is a similar situation to the relatives of Adolf Hitler changing their names after the second world war. Yes, he has descendants living in the United States under new family names.

Oh, and by the way, the word in that case is "trademark" not "copyright". There's a difference.

People who get offended by something like this offend me. Bin Laden isn't really much of an extremist. He is actually doing what the Koran says. It's an evil religion. I also think that any foreign GUESTS should be sent home. They're not all guilty, but as a whole they've overstayed their welcome.

By the way, I'm going to found a church called the politically correct church and PC will be the religion. That way, hardcore seperation of church and state advocates will realize how idiotic they are.

I will give you the benifit of the doubt and assume by "guests" you mean people living in the US who are not seeking citizenship.

Are you a Native American? If not then I suggest YOU go home to your ancestors, because you've overstayed YOUR welcome, sport.

He's a "journeyman" and I am still a "stranger". It is too bad there is no way to take into account the quality of posts when assigning those titles rather than just quantity.

No, but I was born in the USA. It is a privledge for foreigners to come into my country. And frankly, I don't think they should be here. Did you know most of the hijackers were here legally?

Here's my opportunity to be politically incorrect. Remember I'm one of the people that didn't agree with the Bin Laden jokes to begin with. So take my following words with a grain of salt, but they're not intended as a joke or to poke any type of fun or make light of the events of last September... (This last part was to everyone reading except the individual I'm actually following up to).

Most of the hijackers probably contributed more to the USA than you have.

I'm of course talking about funds put into the economy, taxes, etc. Because you were born in a particular country may give you rights as a citizen, but it doesn't mean you're not one of its burdens. The worst criminals in the US, convicted or still on the streets, and most of the other "undesirables" you can think of, are born US citizens. Congratulations. You're so eLiTe. US prisons and jails aren't filled to capacity because your governments like holding on to the citizens of other countries. It's because you have nowhere to dump the trash you breed in your own backyards.

The Usama posts were meant as a very tongue-in-cheek joke, though badly timed and in poor taste. You're just talking out of your arse though. I don't live in the US, but it's people talking the crap that I've seen you just write, that would make me ashamed if I did.

Who was it that predicted the pitfalls of a low-priced empeg back about two months ago?

This thread so belongs in Off Topic. Does UBBThreads allow for thread moving?

Bruno

Well, you already know where I *really* think this thread actually belongs.
