The last two packages I had set to receive via UPS have been labeled "delivery attempt failed, sending to UPS access point"...even though I was home (didn't bother to ring the doorbell/buzzer for my condo , just the stupid note on the outer door) both times. 

Lazy UPS drivers.  :mad:

In your special instruction put "ring bell, I have cookies". Everyone loves coookies
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Wait they are talking about Hussain, as in the grandson of big Mo there?

That kid's name was Mo Greene, and the city he invented was Mecca.

So the moderate Muslims are akin to moderate Christians walking with a "Saint Paul is justice, no to injustice!" sign?

Let me see if I got this. So some people call on Muslims to rise up and denounce terrorism. In order to do so correctly though, they need to do it in a less obviously Muslim sort of way?

If this is directed to me, I was just confused on who the Hussain was they were referring to.

It was directed at Tamas.

I dunno... seems to me that if they're going to make a stand for their religion being tolerant, respectful, against terrorism etc it makes sense to do so on a day that's specific to their religion. After all, they're staking a claim to what their religion is about.

Sure.

Granted it is a day when the Sunnis massacred the Shias.

That's amazing. Like finding a tape of when Bernie Sanders was a leader of the Young Libertarians.

Oh I knew he was a New Deal dude back in the day. It was just crazy to hear it.

And I was not serious about Bernie Sanders. Just trying to think of something equivalent.
