Re: 2 large explosions at Boston Marathon
Thank you, I thought of saying the same thing myself, but while I enjoy the sparing with BE members, I don't have time for trolls.
FWIW My gripe is with people who come to my country and plot to plant bombs and/or kill people (or vice versa in the case of the 9/11 attackers), and those who support, nurture, and encourage them, regardless of their racial group or religious affiliation. I had the same issue with the IRA in the UK, and worked for a year in a building that was boarded up at the back because the IRA blew the windows in. Thankfully that was the biggest direct impact the IRA had on me personally.

I'm ****ed if I'm going to have hyperbole thrown at me if I'm going to point out that a follower of any such cult is an imbecile.

Re: 2 large explosions at Boston Marathon
It's bollocks to devalue the word 'racism' by including cults (religions for the wooly PC crowd) in it's definition. Followers of cults should not be protected by it.
Attacking a small amount of a religion's follwers for their actions is absolutely not the same thing as attacking a person, or persons just because they're black, for example.

I agree, but it seems making sheep shagger jokes about Welsh is racist.

Re: 2 large explosions at Boston Marathon
I don't know but if I was a black person trying to get by in the America of the 1960s, I'd be a bit miffed if a bunch of people were extended the same protections the civil rights movement had fought to get me, just because they believe in fairy tales.
Ultimately, I don't care. I hate everyone equally.
