While I'll concur that it wasn't his most artfully worded comment ever, we all understand the basic point, right? - TFox Jun 4, 11:01 3
- Muslims in the US are still one of the most marginalized and prejudiced-against populations here today. Obama's pandering is like a slap in the face -- nm - con_carne Jun 4, 11:04 2
  - Oh yeah? try getting a permit for a pagan burning man ritual? -- nm - Bush Jun 4, 11:28
  - Well, but not officially. I don't really want our President to wait until everyone in the country isn't racist before we can be nice to other people. -- nm - TFox Jun 4, 11:05

  - Hmmm... semantics I know, but doesn't the word "suicide" imply intent, so it couldn't be accidental? - Cuzzin Todd Jun 4, 10:55 8
    - "accidental death" see also: heath ledger. -- nm - mafic Jun 4, 11:01
    - "autoslaughter" -- nm - nubby Jun 4, 11:00 1
      - That sounds like you killed a car. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 4, 11:00
    - how often do people accidentally hang themselves? I mean, it's not unheard of (especially for kids), but ... -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 10:56 4
      - Ask Michael Hutchence. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 4, 10:58 3

- kinky sex gone awry -- nm - Beaker Jun 4, 10:52
Is it too soon to make a "Bob Crane's killer is loose again!" post? - Curmudgeonx Jun 4, 10:49
heh, check out The Boys version of Superman aka The Homelander if you want a chuckle...or cringe I guess as he is quite sadistic -- nm - Beaker Jun 4, 10:47 2
- or Marvel's version aka Hyperion (his Exiles storyline was the awesome) -- nm - Beaker Jun 4, 10:48 1
  - or Marvel's in-continuity version aka Gladiator -- nm - Beaker Jun 4, 10:48

Would not the more appropriate (given his statement about the US not being a Christian nation anymore) reply have been - Stephen Jun 4, 10:42 57
- He used a rhetorical flourish... -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 4, 10:49 4
  - Does this mean I can still eat bacon? - musubi Jun 4, 10:50 3
    - tosses moose a bacon, bacon, bacon cheeseburger w/ extra bacon - - 'lia Jun 4, 10:52 1
      - *faints* (nm) - musubi Jun 4, 10:53
    - somewhere Redmond popped a woody and he doesn't even know why. -- nm - Stephen Jun 4, 10:52
- I'm curious...where do we rank as far as Muslim Population is concerned? And what ranking would we have to be to meet - Jim Jun 4, 10:46 20
  - by total population you might make top 50, and if you want to argue that there are 200ish countries in the world, that could make you - mafic Jun 4, 10:50 11
    - [deleted] 6
      - Oh, I have no doubt he meant population, not land mass. -- nm - Jim Jun 4, 10:55 3
        
        Are you calling us fat? -- nm - Muslim Americans Jun 4, 10:56 2
        
        it's just the way that outfit makes you look -- nm - 'lia Jun 4, 11:00 1
        
        No, no. It's not the jeans that make the ass look fat, it's the fat ass that makes the ass look fat. -- nm - Stephen Jun 4, 11:01
      - This is so not avoiding the arguement. Are you trying to take away my bacon? (nm) - musubi Jun 4, 10:54
      - ah, well that rules out the landmass thing, I suppose. -- nm - mafic Jun 4, 10:53
    - yeah. estimated at around 6mil mulsims, which would make us around the 34th largest muslim populations. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 4, 10:52 1
      - thats alot of terrorists! -- nm - Beaker Jun 4, 10:52
    - That starts getting a bit Lucasian/Parsec-like, though :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 10:51 1
      - Wait, are you saying that Muslims believe in midi-chlorians? Oh hells no. (nm) - musubi Jun 4, 10:52
  - The wiki page (i'll link again) shows us at 0.6% of the population being Muslim. - Stephen Jun 4, 10:50 6
    - Yeah...I saw the link, which doesn't answer my question. - Jim Jun 4, 10:54 3
      - So let me get this straight, I can eat 17% of my bacon without fear of reprisal? (nm) - musubi Jun 4, 10:56 2
        
        sure ya are - baconcentric agnostic -- nm - 'lia Jun 4, 10:59
        
        Yes moose, for the love of God, Allah, and he who shall not be named, you may eat all the bacon you like! - Stephen Jun 4, 10:58
    - He was clearly not talking about on a percentage basis. -- nm - TFox Jun 4, 10:51 1
      - The wiki page clearly stays 1.8 million americans are Muslim. - Beryllium Jun 4, 10:53
  - according to wiki, 52. Maybe higher, but certainly not in the top 30 -- (link) - Roger More Jun 4, 10:50
- BUT I LOVE BACON! (nm) - musubi Jun 4, 10:45
- not a christian nation anymore. that's cute. -- nm - mafic Jun 4, 10:45
- listening to the speech now, I just dont get how it is interpreted that way. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 4, 10:44 7
  - It's something that he allegedly said a while ago. -- nm - nubby Jun 4, 10:47 4
    - ok, here is the actual quote we are discussing. - tRuMaN Jun 4, 10:50 3
      - Was this quote in the speech we're talking about? - Jim Jun 4, 10:57 2
        
        this quost was made earlier this week I think, speaking to someone in france. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 4, 10:59 1
        
        quost=quote -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 4, 11:00
  - I mean, here is the text from the speech - tRuMaN Jun 4, 10:45 1
    - that christian-hating bastard! -- nm - mafic Jun 4, 10:47
- Thankfully we're not and never have been a Christian nation. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 4, 10:44 4
  - Well I tried my best, just one supreme court appointee short of that -- nm - Bush Jun 4, 11:27
  - *snort* - Stephen Jun 4, 10:46 1
    - word -- nm - Beaker Jun 4, 10:50
  - word. -- nm - decline Jun 4, 10:44
- This post on the Economist's US editor's blog gives a possible explanation -- (link) - Roger More Jun 4, 10:43 15
  - Except the factual incorrectness of his statement makes him look dumb...or at the very least...pandering. -- nm - Stephen Jun 4, 10:45 14
    - I agree that counting the US as among the largest is misleading, but I think interpreting his statement as "the US is a Muslim country now" makes the - Roger More Jun 4, 10:49
    - Well, sidestepping this particular hot button ... you guys could really use some international pandering, fer chrissakes. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 10:46
    - which statement? -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 4, 10:46 11
      - That' we're one of the largest Muslim nations. - Stephen Jun 4, 10:51 10
        
        34th largest isnt close? what defines close to you? - tRuMaN Jun 4, 10:52 9
        
        For me, Namibia is the 34th largest country, but I wouldn't call it "one of the largest" - Roger More Jun 4, 10:58
        
        If I say "he's one of the best QB's ever" are you thinking that i'm talking about a guy that would rank 34th on the all-time list? -- nm - Stephen Jun 4, 10:57 7
        
        I think we are talking about a much bigger group then that. but out of curiosity, who would be the 34th greatest qb of all time? -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 4, 11:00 4
        
        this group says that Troy Aikman is the 33rd best qb of all time, so being 34th wouldnt be bad -- (link) - tRuMaN Jun 4, 11:03 1
        
        and #34 is Joe Theismann -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 4, 11:03
        
        See...I have no idea...that's how irrelevant #34 is! -- nm - Stephen Jun 4, 11:02
        
        Don Mattingly. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 11:02
        
        Depends. The 34th pitcher of all time, is pretty freakin' good. But what does this mean to my bacon? (nm) - musubi Jun 4, 10:58
        
        That depends. Are you Donald Trump? If so, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 10:57

~i'm all out faith ... this is how i feel~ -- nm - Dano Jun 4, 10:37 9
- is the perfect sky torn? - Epiphany Jun 4, 10:38
- Something I've always wondered: Did that song become a hit simply because everyone got to imagine her naked? -- nm - con_carne Jun 4, 10:38 7
  - I always thought the strength of the song was in the instrumentals. It's just a good tune. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 4, 10:45
  - It was the quintessential 90's pop song. -- nm - nubby Jun 4, 10:41
  - No need to imagine. -- nm - Jim Jun 4, 10:39
  - I chalk it up to the neighbours effect. -- nm - mafic Jun 4, 10:39 3
    - Explain. -- nm - con_carne Jun 4, 10:40 2
      - the built-in audience of neighbours - which she was on - basically gives you one free hit before people decide whether you're any good. -- nm - mafic Jun 4, 10:44
      - she was in an Australian TV soap called Neighbours. So was Kylie Minogue and a bunch of other 'actors' who went onto less successful singing careers -- nm - Roger More Jun 4, 10:42

  - one of my best friends is a filipino seminarian, that would be fun -- nm - ceregon Jun 4, 10:56
- Strip houseguest! For every day the dad is there the roommate has to let you post a photo of him with one fewer article of clothing to ST! -- nm - Dano Jun 4, 10:40 5
  - I already posted a near naked pic of him once. - ceregon Jun 4, 10:42 1
    - Two more days! - Dano Jun 4, 10:45
  - You're horny when you're bored. - nubby Jun 4, 10:40 2
    - I must be bored a lot. -- nm - Dano Jun 4, 10:41 1
      - or not enough, depending on how euphemistically you read that post. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 10:43
- can I make a humble suggestion? stop ragging on the dad to the roommate - it can only make him feel bad. Come tell us!! - Epiphany Jun 4, 10:38 1
  - I actually haven't been talking to the roommate about dad, the car drive up was the first. - ceregon Jun 4, 10:41
- Sure he does. Between you, your roommate and your poor dog he has a captive audience. Those types never want to leave. -- nm - Diva Jun 4, 10:36
- Well, that's good news about the roomie understanding, at least. -- nm - TFox Jun 4, 10:35
It's not everyday that you get to see a 3-base error in major league baseball, but apparently the Mets have done it. (nm) - musubi Jun 4, 10:33 11
- *blank stare* - Will Hunting Jun 4, 10:37 4
  - It was a fielding error, not a throwing one. It really shouldn't be possible. - musubi Jun 4, 10:39 3
    - Just got a description from a Mets fan board: Gopher burner to first the Murphy "ole"d on. Sheffield in right is playing on a bum kneed - musubi Jun 4, 10:42 2
      - WTF - musubi Jun 4, 10:44 1
        
        That's some golf course you play at Judge Smalls. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 4, 10:47
- was soriano fielding the ball? -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 4, 10:34
- He accidentally swallowed the ball. -- nm - nubby Jun 4, 10:34 1
  - The Mets have the Loney Tunes on the roster? -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Jun 4, 10:39
- I wouldn't have believed it, until you said "Mets". -- nm - Don Homer Jun 4, 10:33 2
  - I mean, from an outfield, ok. A mistake, and the ball rolls away, but in the infield? How the frak does that happen? (nm) - musubi Jun 4, 10:35 1
    - heh. [insert circus music here] -- nm - Don Homer Jun 4, 10:35

  - Sounds like Kill Bill Vol.2 -- nm - Shaun Jun 4, 10:39
- Whoever said that was insightful, but wrong. - Mop (236 lbs) Jun 4, 10:38 1
  - Disagree. Superman is not a costume, it's who he is. Clark is the costume he had to invent to blend in. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 4, 10:41
- You just gave more thought to it all than did the entirety of the Superman writers for 60+ years. - Will Hunting Jun 4, 10:35 1
  - Bah. -- nm - kelly Jun 4, 10:39
From B way before, I drive Prius (106K miles and counting) and fix battery cost in what way? - JD Jun 4, 10:32 1

- But we also turned a tragic suicide post into a treatise on Natalie Imbruglia so it evens out. -- nm - Dano Jun 4, 10:48
- Saddam Hussein had a mustache. His middle name is Hussein.... - TFox Jun 4, 10:32
- Hitler in the making! -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Jun 4, 10:32
