This. While balance is certainly off in CK, there is a general tendency to overstate the occurrence of ferocious behavior by muslims,

History tells us otherwise.
What it overstates is the occurrence of "successful" ferocious behavior by Muslims.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Ethics question, would it be wrong if I were to base a character on Siegebreaker and call my novel "Bullet Proof Jew"? :unsure:
No, actually, it sounds like a best seller.

I dunno, do women buying books at the supermarket really want their tough guys to have online homoerotic crushes?
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

WTF!?  :huh: :lol:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coolidge_effect

QuoteThe term comes from an old joke, according to which President Calvin Coolidge and his wife allegedly visited a poultry farm. During the tour, Mrs. Coolidge inquired of the farmer how his farm managed to produce so many fertile eggs with such a small number of roosters. The farmer proudly explained that his roosters performed their duty dozens of times each day.

"Perhaps you could point that out to Mr. Coolidge," pointedly replied the First Lady.

The President, overhearing the remark, asked the farmer, "Does each rooster service the same hen each time?"

"No," replied the farmer, "there are many hens for each rooster."

"Perhaps you could point that out to Mrs. Coolidge," replied the President.

I think so; "Bromances" are big this year.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

My house is in the town of Elk Creek. :ph34r:

Fortunately it's on a hill, from which I can easily observe all of the filthy plebs.

When I'm bored I like to take potshots at their trailers.  Trailer tires make good targets.

I misread a certain thread as 50 paladins evicted from Jerusalem homes.
Now that would have been cooler.
