Internet Comment of the Day

"I am in my mid-forties. My WHOLE FUCKING LIFE I have been hearing news stories about Muslims getting so fucking offended by some goddamned thing that they just have to go on some uncontrollable murder-rampage. A book, a film, a fucking cartoon. I am simply tired of Muslims.

I can go a month without hearing the word "Taoist" or "Confucian." I can go for weeks without hearing "Buddhist." If Romney wasn't a candidate right now I could probably go a year without hearing "Mormon." But I hear "Muslim" every fucking day. And it's never anything good. I never hear that Muslims pitched in to rebuild a church, or Muslims score well on tests, or Muslims report greater personal happiness in their lives. No, it's always Muslims seething with violent rage over some goddamned thing.

Here's a thought: how about Muslims try not killing anyone just for a change? Maybe try it for a month: spend a month doing something other than murdering people. That means no lobbing rockets at Israel, no gang-raping Coptic Christians, no burning animist villages, no sectarian violence against other Muslims, no shooting rampages through India, none of that.

Think they could manage it? For just a month? How about a week?

How about one fucking day?

I would be happy if just one fucking day in my life I didn't hear about some revolting atrocity committed by Muslims because somebody somewhere said something that hurts their fucking feelings."

2012

Impending war in the Middle East, possibly impending war in the far east, record gas highs, the US federal government detaining and interrogating people in the middle of the night for the non-crime of making films that embarrass the sitting government, and we're drilling into Cthulhu's home in December. Of 2012. Presumably, around the 22nd since that would be southern hemisphere's solstice.

And also when the Mayans predicted the end of the world.
