Like most people I used to be oblivious to most of the issues in my country. I thought that the bubble that I lived in was pretty much the reality for most save a few ‘unlucky’ folks.

[Mr Apple]

Sadly, their numbers are alarming and since they use religion as a tool to justify their own violent tendencies, the government is a little wary of angering them.

President Obama - - No to the 170,000 islamic muslims.

Okay.. found it! :-)

New info for me.. thanks

[Mr Apple]

You’re welcome but I think it’s just you and I here to ‘man the walls’ until the islamics arrive. I pinged half my list of 93 but everyone must be busy -reading about how soon cruz will go below the water line lol.

“Remember Asia Bibi? She was wrongly accused of blasphemy and the one man who stood up for her; a prominent figure in Pakistani politics, was gunned down by his own guard. That guard though now has been executed for his crime, is considered a hero by many.”

[exDemMom]

Interesting.

That young woman writes English very well.

For all of her writing in the goal of peace, I hope she is well protected. Writing about violent Muslims is a very dangerous occupation.

[Mr Apple]

Writing about violent Muslims is a very dangerous occupation.

Yes, big time. If I were her I'd be worried about being taken off to be stoned by a a mob.

[FreedomPoster]

You can say that again. I wouldn’t bet on her making 30, which is very sad.

[Mr Apple]

I’m surprised she is still alive.

[Read Write Repeat]

Good find. Thanks for the ping.

[Read Write Repeat]

Historically satire has been one of the most effective means of critique. As an opinion writer, I feel sarcasm and irony can often help deliver a message across more effectively than anything else.

I will admit though that I have had to explain myself on more than one occasion when people took what I wrote quite literally.

[Mr Apple]

I feel sarcasm and irony can often help deliver a message across more effectively than anything else.

Read, this is exactly the way I've always tried to come across when writing. But, the disadvantage with this style -folks can't see your face, see your expressions, see your sincerity or lack thereof. So, it can cost a few friendships. But, I've still got 93 frds on my ping list and only lost eleven. [these eleven jumped ship, -in just the past two weeks. I can't imagine what happened........roflmao]

[Read Write Repeat]

Well, it’s a lonely road. Sometimes people in the peripheral misinterpret what you’re saying. Others may read too much into something, while someone else spend time analyzing minute details. Signals get crossed, friendships and alliances fray.

Then some accuse you of living under a bridge even though you were always part of the group, loyally fighting alongside them for years using the only methods and tactics in your arsenal.

[Mr Apple]

Oh...I forgot. I lost one other frd two days ago. Read, this person, when I posted -actual medical terms (four std diseases) in reference to -poor ted catchin' somethin' --claimed I was being... nasty. (nasty mind you, nasty ... lol) So, I guess I'm down to 92 friends.

[Mr Apple]

Good post, but not lonely at all. We have a few dozens of friends over all the time. Most are my college days friends. Another three, I do chess games with. Just can’t do suds now though. :(

This Shamila Gyhas has a career that she seems to enjoy. Good for her, but like we said, she should be careful.
