Someone recently passed this article on to me, which I posted on another board. It was promptly removed. So sad . . .

Frightening News from France

Once again, the real news in France is conveniently

not being reported as it should. To give you an idea

of what's going on in France where there are now

between 5 and 6 million Muslims and about 600,000 Jews,

here is an email that came from a Jew living in

France. Please read! Will the world say nothing - again - as it did in Hitler's time?

"I AM A JEW -- therefore I am forwarding this to

everyone on all my e-mail lists. I will not sit back

and do nothing." Nowhere have the flames of

anti-Semitism burned more furiously than in France:

Lyon, a car was rammed into a synagogue and set

on fire. In Montpellier, the Jewish religious center

was firebombed; so were synagogues in Strasbourg and

Marseilles; so was a Jewish school in Creteil - all recently.

A Jewish sports club in Toulouse was attacked with

Molotov cocktails, and on the statue of Alfred

Dreyfus in Paris, the words "Dirty Jew" were

painted. In Bondy, 15 men beat up members of a

Jewish football team with sticks and metal bars. The

bus that takes Jewish children to school in

Aubervilliers has been attacked three times in the last 14 months.

According to the Police, metropolitan Paris has seen

10 to 12 anti-Jewish incidents PER DAY in the past

30 days. Walls in Jewish neighborhoods have been

defaced with slogans proclaiming "Jews to the gas

chambers" and "Death to the Jews."

A gunman opened fire on a Kosher butcher's shop

(and, of course, the butcher) in Toulouse , France;

a Jewish couple in their 20s were beaten up by five

men in Villeurbanne , France . The woman was

pregnant; a Jewish school was broken into and

vandalized in Sarcelles , France . This was just in

the past week.

So I call on you, whether you are a fellow Jew, a

friend, or merely a person with the capacity and

desire to distinguish decency from depravity, to do,

at least, these three simple things:

First, care enough to stay informed. Don't ever let

yourself become deluded into thinking that this is

no t your fight. I remind you of what Pastor

Neimoller said in World War II: "First they came for

the Communists, and I didn't speak up, because I

wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and

I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew. Then they

came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up,

because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me,

and by that time there was no one left to speak up

for me".

Second, boycott France and French products. Only the

Arab countries are more toxically anti-Semitic and,

unlike them, France exports more than just oil and

hatred. So boycott their wines and their perfumes.

Boycott their clothes and their foodstuffs. Boycott

their movies. Definitely boycott their shores. If

we are resolved we can exert amazing pressure and,

whatever else we may know about the French, we most

certainly know that they are like a cobweb in a

hurricane in the face of well directed pressure.

Third, send this along to your family, your friends,

and your co-workers. Think of all of the people of

good conscience that you know and let them know

that you and the people that you care about need

their help. The number one best selling book in

France is "September 11: The Frightening Fraud,"

which argues that no plane ever hit the Pentagon."

Did I scare Ron away? Does he fold quickly if someone actually argues facts?

Kalhua *wrong spelling and cream = Kahlua Sombrero, chilled glass sometimies with rocks, your choice. Cream floats on top of the Kahlua and it is a delicious shot especially when one has mastered the art of taking the shot using your mouth, no hands, without spilling any on your skirt or your uncompleted wiener, possibly hanging out of your miniskirt.

Yes Greg, you have cracked the secret code of Ron. When the going gets tough, the Ron gets going. Let's face it, he was running out of negative phrases. They were so overdone by the end of the day. Even Ron might have noticed. I tried to help with that. I've done my part.

Did I scare Ron away? Does he fold quickly if someone actually argues facts?

He will be back. He tends to leave and then show up again.

Are you sure you scared him away? It might have been my invitation to share a drink that scared him off.:heh:

I was undecided between Communion Wine and Manishevitz.

Ok. So let's see here: we need miniskirts, preferably plaid. We need bagpipes, that's a given. We need a person who is the opposite of the one who performs a Bris. We need a sharp scalpel, We need tea cups for visual coordination with our miniskirts, We need amaretto, kahlua, cream, sex on the beach, peach schnapps, won't we need a blanket if we're having sex on the beach?

Hmmm. I may need to start all over.

Pretty much. There is a very predictable pattern here.

Does he fold quickly if someone actually argues facts?

You weren't here when we did the "Blast Pattern of Ron Cusano", were you? He's got a distinctive pattern to the way he posts.

Here goes:

1. 
   
2. Ron makes a statement and says that "everyone knows this" or that "all Christians believe this or must do this". If you don't know this or disagree or interpret things differently, you are apparently an idiot (or a cockroach, as he called atheists early in the thread) or a bad Christian (or not a true Christian).
   
3. People contradict Ron, or he contradicts himself and people point this out.
   
4. Ron says that he knows everything about the Bible, and that it's not his opinion, but the Bible's opinion.
   
5. If you disagree, you are again called an idiot. Ron screams about people attacking his beliefs.
   
6. Ron continues to get very mad at people because they dare to state their own opinions. He starts making multiple spelling and grammar mistakes.
   
7. When someone lets him know that they can't understand what he is trying to say, Ron apparently thinks they are being facetious and ridiculing him. Of course, this makes Ron angrier.
   
8. Ron then makes vicious, personally attacking posts. See the post he made to Wheetsin several pages back for reference.
   
9. People give Ron evidence that he doesn't know as much as he thinks he knows.
   
10. Backed into a corner, Ron explodes, screaming about how everyone in existance that doesn't agree with his postings is going to Hell. He is being attacked, Christianity is being attacked, liberal Christians are going to hell, yadda, yadda, yadda.
    
11. Ron then makes a very martyred post about how he is being attacked and won't stay here to be attacked and that he is leaving the post.
    
12. Of course, Ron always returns, and the fun begins again. And again. And again.

Here's an Interesting and Surprising Story on Creationism.

Once I spent a month in Central America. I was 19 and you could drink... younger than that. I don't remember what the age was. I'm really not a drinker, but I had to order something called a "Bloody Brain" just because the name was so awesome. So it's a shot of rum, add Grenadine which sinks to the bottom, and pour in some Kahlua through one of those little silver spout things. The Khalua "coagulates" in the rum and keeps the "noodle" shape it gets from pouring out of the spout... and piles up, making this thing that looks like a brain. Then when you take the shot the grenadine comes up and kind of punches through the Kahlua, making this exploded bloody brain kind of thing. It was yummy. It was also the only shot I've ever taken. Because it came out of my nose when I choked on it, and that was so unpleasant I've never cared to try again.

K-a-h-l-u-a is really hard to get straight.

Ok for TOM we need Maneshevitz (sp),. add that to the list. And an epispasm, Wheetsin can tell us more about that later, I guess. I'm not sure if that's for the male Jew or the female Jewess. It definitely sounds like something we want along for the ride, so to speak.

About the body shots, do we need anything for those? Whipped cream, sugar, salt, olives, cherries, pineapple???

Did I mention the blanket? We are going to the beach, aren't we? I mean I think we'd get too much attention in a bar. Oh yeah, we probably need some kind of lantern that doesn't blow out in the wind.

I'm ready now let's go do some serious Jewish conversions and some serious celebrating of the one year mark for Wheetsin! Yeaaaa, and the crowd went wild!

I hope Ron does not have a drinking problem. I have noticed that his grammar and spelling seem to get bad in spurts as if he was drunk at that point in time.

As much as I disliked his attitude, I would hate to think we drove him to drink or to "get off the wagon".

Don't forget the firewood and lighter fluid for the bonfire!

Nah. I think we just piss him off and he tries to type too quickly.

I think that Lucifer and Satan were different entities is fairly widely accepted outside of fundamentalist christian circles. Many OT scholars believe it's inaccurate to associate Satan with evil. Heck, even us atheists get that. :kiss

Actually, it's kinda the other way. Satan is the Adversary, God's Anvil, his role is to test the spirits/souls of mankind. Lucifer, as the light-bringer, is more of a Promethean character.

An epispasm sounds like what I gave myself lastnight. :rolleyes

For the body shots we need a volunteer - preferrably a man (or Angelina Jolie) with no chest hair (that applies to Angelina Jolie too).
