I don't care
Now this might of been posted before but since JMC posted his rant about the Silent Muslim Majority i thought i'd share an e-mail that i received yesterday. Now like JMC i don't often even read these sorts of e-mails but because of who sent it i thought it must be worth a read. After reading it i find myself sharing in this ladies view I don't care, and excuse the over patriotism..........
One Ticked Canadian Woman (AMEN SO TRUE)
HURRAY FOR THE LADY WHO WROTE THIS LETTER, WE ALL THINK THE SAME BUT HAVE NO GUTS TO PUT IN THE PRESS, GOD BLESS HER AND HER HAVING THE BALLS TO SPEAK UP.
This was written by a Canadian woman, but oh how it also applies to the U.S. , U.K. and Australia
THIS ONE PACKS A FIRM PUNCH Written by a housewife in New Brunswick , to her local newspaper. This is one Ticked off lady.
'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we?
Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001 and Have continually threatened to do so since?
Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from the nation's capitol and in a Field in Pennsylvania?
Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning Or crushing death that day, or didn't they?
And I'm supposed to care that a few Taliban were claiming to be tortured by a justice system of the nation they come from and are fighting against in A brutal insurgency.
I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for Incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11. I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere belief of which is a crime punishable by Beheading in Afghanistan
I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat. I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Afghanistan come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in Mosques. I'll care when the mindless zealots who blows themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide Bombs.
I'll care when the Canadian media stops pretending that their freedom of speech on stories is more important than the lives of the soldiers on the Ground or their families waiting a home to hear about them when something happens.
In the meantime, when I hear a story about a CANADIAN soldier roughing up an Insurgent terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.. When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank ........... I don't care.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed 'special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being is handled,'
you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts:............. I don't care. And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and Other times 'Quran.' Well, Jimmy Crack Corn you guessed it, ................ I don't care!!
If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous Behav iour!
If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed By radical Muslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add: 'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in The world. But, the Soldiers don't have that problem.'
I have another quote that I would like to add, AND.......I hope you forward all this.
One last thought for the day: Only five defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The Canadian Soldier.
3. The British Soldier..
4. The US Soldier, and
5. The Australian Soldier
One died for your soul, the other 4 for your freedom.If in doubt............flat out.

It's bigotry, pure and simple. The writer is taking your emotions for a ride. He's using you.
Form your own opinion. Read good newspapers like the Economist, the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, and stay on your guard, because no newspaper is without opinion.
Form your own opinion. Read books - lots of books. Read history. Dont believe this e-mail. It's manipulative, and it has the classic signature of a bigoted chain mail. It aims only to foster hatred, and the people who died on 9/11 and through the West's operations in the Middle East don't deserve to be remembered by such a viscious witness. Nor do the people of the Middle Eastern states in whose countries the Western powers have operated deserve to be dehumanised and abused in that manner. They are human, too. They have husbands, wives and children. They love and grieve like us. They bleed and die when that rocket dashes through a window to rip their families apart. Modern war is not "hi-tech": it's as brutal as it ever was, and it draws in civilians, as it ever did. Our politicians (most noble race!) had better have just cause to do what they are doing in our name, spilling our soldiers' and others' blood. Why, then, do they struggle to explain their reasons?
Since the author cited Christ: for God's sake don't be taken in by such an obvious incitement to hatred.
It's bigotry, pure and simple. The writer is taking your emotions for a ride.
the detail as laid out is not untrue - is it?

Eh ? ...what about the bit about Jesus Christ ?

Fingers crossed there are similar sentiments being expressed on the other side of the fence that the politicos of this world seem so keen to maintain and reinforce, for all our sakes.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
I must confess that when I first read this I was in agreement with a lot of the comments.....I don't care either!
However having thought about it, I realise that I must care or we are no better than the people we despise. If we don’t care if soldiers or policemen shoot suspects in the head or that we torture people to get confessions when do we say stop? Only this week six policemen were suspended in the Met for allegedly dunking suspect’s heads under water to obtain information. If we accept this then it is a slippery slope to having a society exactly opposite to the one we are trying to defend.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m no liberal when it comes to crime and I’d lock every murderer and paedophile up for the rest of their lives with no parole. I hate seeing this country of ours descend into a lawless society with no respect for anyone or anything.
Do I care if a convicted prisoner doesn’t like the food on moral or religious grounds, or the toilet paper is too hard? No!
Do I care if a person waving a gun around, that turns out to be a replica gets shot in the head. No
Do I care if a joy rider failing to stop gets shot in the head? No
Do I care if a man is shot in the head because he might be a Muslim with a bomb in his rucksack? Yes I do. I’m not saying you can’t shoot him, but you had better be prepared to face a jury of your peers and defend your decision to do so.
This is all a bit thought provoking for a Friday in the office. We should really be discussing DG’s dogging activities for the coming weekend….

The coming week? Is that like the working week for people with priapism?I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

I had never heard of it before but after a bit of internet reading I am a lot more careful these days...
There is no "penis bone," but you can break your penis all the same. It's called penile fracture, and it's not a subtle injury. When it happens, there's "an audible pop or snap." Then the penis turns black and blue. And there's terrible pain. It also bends sharply to one side. Medical help needs to be sought urgently.
Penile fracture is rare, and it typically happens to younger men because their erections tend to be quite rigid.
Here's how to avoid penile fracture: don't use your penis too roughly. A common way that penile fracture happens, is when a man is thrusting too hard and fast during sex, and slams into his partner's pubic bone. Also, a woman who moves wildly while on top of a man during sex can break a man's penis.
Drugging SWMBO before sex is now acceptable pratice to safeguard my John Thomas from the risk of snapping!! ------------------------------

So last week I got you with the fat old trollop on her bike, this week it's stiffies.
What embarrassment can I bring you next week I wonder? I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
Instead I'm sitting here cringing with my legs tightly crossed after reading Mike40's post...
(I think SWMBO will be getting a restful sleep tonight after reading that clinical description...)The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...
