Why does it?

racism and racist must be the two most commonly used words in the English language these days

Because apparently the existential threat to society rests on whether or not the Quran is taught in Arabic instead of English. Which countries speak Arabic?

They're pretty common but they really pale in comparison to the amount of whiny victimization as a whole that we see out there.

Also terrible fashion sense.

Ah, right, I see. Well nobody voted for him. His party was voted in and then he took over the leadership, so kind of about the same way as nobody, up to now, had voted for Theresa May as PM. It just happened as a product of inner party politics. He used to be our transport minister, you know, and then got his hands on health.

No worse than any of them, which is to say, **** is ****.

You have to give grudging admiration to him for this. Say it loud, I'm a bigot and I'm proud!

Patrick Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzpatrick.

Oh man I haven't heard that joke since I was ten I think.

This guy is really interesting in that he not only alluded capture, but actively taunted the police with clues. They questioned him and were pretty sure he was the guy but just never had enough evidence to charge him.

And I'm a Jimmy Page-wannabe dummy.

*eluded
But so did Jack the Ripper... and his Yorkshire counterpart, Sutcliffe, who they released multiple ****ing times!

Couldn't you superimposed a red circle with a line through it on top of his picture? Kinda let the rest of the world know you're not his protégé.

Hey, if Batty can have an avvy of Hitler, I say leave the guy alone.

Honestly says more about you than it does about him.

It does.

Some of the **** that went down in the name of God make my avatar look like a saint.

I've been here for years now and seen tons of very disturbing and graphic avatars. Why you singling me out? I think that's what being questioned.

As they said in GoT: "You would spill blood in this holy place?"
"The gods spill more blood than all of us put together."

Uhm, numbers don't lie, right?

And saying I'm using a broad brush to talk about broad brushes is pretty broad brushy.

I'm glad you caught the joke while missing my point.

But it just makes it sound like you don't have any more nuanced or deep of an opinion, so you just keep saying the same thing over and over again so you'll feel like you're contributing.

In the US Muslims are up there as the best assimilated minority group in the country

So Europe's biggest problem is they're **** compared to the U.S. when it comes to assimilating different cultures into their own?
