- Go to The flight of the Kamikaze Christians - killing two birds with one stone
sometimes i wonder what it would be like
to be inside the mind of a fundamentalist christian. to not think for yourself at all...to elaborately delude yourself just because sometime told you to...i wonder...
i think i'd load MYSELF into one of those catapults and aim it for a wall with big sharp spikes on it like the one in "the pit" in mortal kombat 2.
actually, no i wouldn't. i would think i was completely correct in my beliefs. and i would inform others of this notion as well. loudly.

Yes, the mainstay of the Islamic militant ammo market.
I bet there's a warehouse somewhere with all the Yugo tooling still in it somewhere...stop slavering, do-it-yourself car kits went out in the Fifties.

majroj - are Yugos still being made?
We had a dealership a few miles away that sold Yugos and the Russian Lada. Now there's 2 fine automobiles. He made most of his money selling his spare Lada parts back to the Russian black market. When the wall fell, so too did his business as the black market was now dealing from a different deck and also because no one in their right mind would buy one of those cars.

majroj - done -- it was more the phrasing that will raise an eyebrow
as in "obvious ties to....." Blogit's comments section is very highly ranked in the search engines so I am sure you can appreciate that phrasing such as this might attract unwanted attention.

Yeah especially when you spell it correctly.
I mean Q'uarektli!
Yeah, that's next...look out for large Canadian lumber orders to Sudan or Somalia, we might face trebuchets in San Francisco Bay hurling Yugos or some such.

majroj -- that is the worst name you could drop in my comments section
I won't repeat it because I don't want it in my comments section again. Did I tell you about the time I returned an email from a sodier blogging from Kuwait during the invasion of Iraq? You pick up some serious online surveillence juice by doing those things.

UsualSuspect -- all in all we have pretty good relations with the USA
and I do know that the religious right does not speak for the majority. They just think that they do. They also have not one ounce of reservation about sticking their noses into the business of others. In recent months we've seen busloads of "good Christians" trucked in from the USA for demonstrations against the impending gay marriage legislation and other issues that they feel they must meddle in.

rofl....
Oh my God! Is that Jerry Falwell flying through the air with the greatest of ease? One could only hope...a point to note though, not all Americans are the same....and our nosy and annoying religious right is certainly not a reflection on all of us...the rest of us don't give a f*ck what everyone else does.

Justsouno --- do you ever listen to yourself?
There are people in the world that do not want to live as you do. That was the theme of the last two posts regardless of how you see it. I can only imagine how you would react if missionaries came into the USA to attempt to convert your citizens, or if a religious group from another country attempted to influence your country's domestic policies based on beliefs that are foreign to you. You would be the first person to speak up. With you it is your version of God and no one else's. Someday, we can only hope that people such as yourself get the message. There are people in this world that do not want what you are selling.

majroj - the softwood lumber problem has been ongoing now for a few years
what was once our largest market for lumber in the USA has imposed a tariff on it in direct contravention of NAFTA. It has even gone to an arbitrator, the US lost but refuses to pony up. Meanwhile our exports of lumber are increasing to China. Now with two natural disasters in the USA, their own inventories will be depleted but ours is spoken for unless we ramp up production. One thing we do have a lot of is trees.

You must have a soul as black as the pits of hell. In two blogs you have discussed the idea of hurling Christians as Kamikaze Christians over the border. On another one you said that one day it may be possible for us to be eaten by lions as you would wish. I no longer say it is the sin I hate. I will leave that to God. This day I give you over to the power of God, you are sin. Your total aim is to hurt as many as you can to repay any who hurt you. You are unforgiving, demented and horrible.

this might be a lucrative industry for the imaginative investor. Industrialized Christian hurling.

Made out of seasoned CANADIAN spruce, no doubt?
Just aim west or north or east, OK?
