You know, I think we can put the whole Romney-is-cruel-to-animals thing behind us. The Romney's obviously love animals: http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/romneys-dancing-horse-competes/story?id=16162590&singlePage=true#.T49HOJpWpYj

Obama ate dogs when he was a kid.

I find this unlikely.  Being a Muslim, dog meat is taboo.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I could be wrong but I think they're mostly Punjabi or of Punjabi descent and Sikhism's to some extent the beliefs of that people.

Somewhere in Pakistani Punjab somebody just had a stroke from sheer rage :P

Or Indian Punjab, for that matter. :P

Still, other than the never-shaving stuff, which is probably even more preposterously stupid than circumcision, it seems like an alright religion.  Dunno why you'd wanna give it up for Christianity, other than social climbing, which is a pretty lousy reason to convert to Christianity.

I had a Sikh IT consultant once.  He was a very, very angry man.  In fact the client fired him because he was so angry all the time.

I suspect going postal with a small knife in deepest kentucky is unlikely to produce many casualties.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Sounds very much like the Christian I used to work with.

There's a Sikh prosecutor whose office is 20 feet from mine.  He's a very nice guy.  :)
