Heh heh heh. I've never heard that before, but it sounds absolutely correct

:-). Merry Christmas 2sheep!!

If you think about it. Most of these terrorists are the 'softly spoken' type. Amazing how they turn into the most crazed lunatics once they hit our countries.

This thread overall is a total embarrassment, particularly on Christmas Eve. Just my two cents.

It's not my attitude the problem, it's the Vatican's. But there are some improvements of late:

Pope says: NO VIOLENCE IN GOD'S NAME

Am I to interprete this as a condemnation of Arafat's diatribe in the name of Christmas because he could not go to Bethlehem in the name of Christmas and Jesus. I sure will take it that way. Oh and there is this one too:

"``Today my thoughts go to all the children of the world: so many, too many are the children condemned from birth to suffer through no fault of their own the effects of cruel conflicts,''

I suppose this means he condemns Palestinian using children rock throwers as proto-Khmer Rouge and advocacy of suicide bombing for children Pali Khmer Rouge. Who knows, maybe my attitude has something with it. If not, so sue me.

I never understood how can one have a good attitude of peace when Arafat aka Hamas/Dr.Mengele's boss wants praise for his little experiments and walk to Bethlehem in the name of Christmas.
