Koran The Barbarian

AITOOW who thinks that the opposition will see our acts of tolerance as a sign of weakness or a sign that their threats of violence are efficacious? Let's see how a nimrod will interpret the cessation of Koran burning - we burned a flag and acted a fool and the Infidels caved because that violence scared them. Great politics. It promotes violence. When will our "intelligensia" realize that they are not negotiating with their intellectual equals. We have the portion of their side that has a fertile mind on our side already. They understand our "Arab street". It's the "Arab street" we are at war with. They do not understand what we wish to convey with any message that promotes tolerance. They see it as weakness. If Obambi was only all black he would understand this kind of shake down and street mentality. We can't even get that sort of street savvy from him.

Burn Notice

AITOOW can't figure out why every self-proscribed "reasonable" figure head is taking the side of mysticism over freedom of speech/expression? I'm not for wasting things, but, it's a book of fairy tales we are preferring to the right to have an opinion and voice it. I thought the definition of insanity was believing in something when there is no evidence of it. That is what religion is. The Koran is a book that promotes insane ideas (fairy tales). It and all other religious texts are dangerous. We should prefer any right in the Constitution to that one. Our leaders are choosing to defend a book that promotes our mental erosion/subjegation over my right to inform you of its pernicious agenda. Oh wait, when I put it like that it makes perfect sense. Sleep sheep. Sleep.

It's not even a practice of religion issue. It's a freedom of speech versus a potential local ordinance (burning without a permit) issue. And if it is the message in the Koran that we are protecting and not the book itself, the Supreme Court has said that the objects (ie American Flag) that hold the message have no protection. I guess you have to be a full professor of Constitutional Law and not a guest lecturer to grasp the issues. It's just more political expediency at the cost of our principles. If we are a nation of tolerance it is for that grumpy, hayseed in Gainesville and the exercise of his freedom to piss off his neighbors. Not a nation that defends his neighbors to run to the principal to tell on him.

Brothers In Arms

AITOOW who thinks that Keith Olberman and Rachel Maddow look like brothers? Or gay sisters.

Pronunciation Renunciation

AITOOW doesn't see how Canadians can pronounce "about" as "aboot"? Do they say "snoot"? Or "poot"? Or "cloot"?

Book 'Im Danno

AITOOW doesn't see why there is bias against self-educated people? Professors teach books. Anyone can access those books. Aren't those who don't require an intermediary more adept? Not to mention the wisdom of saving the cash schools steal from us.

Hawking Snake Oil

AITOOW doesn't see how wheel chair boy's proclamation that we don't need God to have a Universe still doesn't explain the origin of the forces that he says created the Universe? How is this progress? While I still God is a euphemism/place holder for all things we can't explain, I'm still at a loss to explain the origin of the first "step" and what created the thing that created that, etcetera, etcetera.

Mary Tyler More

AITOOW never bought into the ERA movements' war cry of equality? You know that dominance was always the goal. That's why on ABC news last night there was not one reproving comment nor one editorial remonstration when the women stopped for comment all responded chauvinistically to the news that women under 30 are out earning their male counterparts. They were all overjoyed and excited by the blood in the water. If this story read conversely, we would all be put on high alert on how we must remedy this injustice. Any man that didn't lower his eyes in shame at the news would have been highlighted during the piece and flagellated. This is why you should never feel bad about inequalities. The other side doesn't.
