Juvenile retaliation threads are bull. Suggesting that a persons opinion is invalid because they don't personally know a certain amount of Muslims is bull.

Oh.. and I voted in your poll. More than five. I deal with a lot of people everyday.
No, serious bull is when you quote a link without even reading it. I quoted myself from your link.

I never meant the US was Scientologyland. Read above. A lot of people is constantly arguing that Muslims are taking over the world. See the difference?

Maybe if you just said what you meant instead of indulging in the kiddie rhetoric we wouldn't have to guess which of your threads are legitimate opinions.

There is a point to this thread. It's just not a very strong one. You can have an opinion on a subject without having a personal direct contact of said subject. We live in an age of information. I've never met Charles Manson. That doesn't mean I can't call him trash.

@ ghettoperson, I never called it a retaliatory thread. I was pointing out the Irony. Not to be confused with hypocrisy... the difference is intent.

You bring shit back from ages ago, but whatever. I made a legitimate question and you answered with a link from an old thread. And you perfectly knew what I was doing with that one, so don't be a kid yourself.

Where the fuck is the terrible analogy here? I'm asking a honest question. Is it that hard to understand? I'm not trying to trap anyone either.

I read Kmarion's post and was instantly reminded of those 'appeasement' and 'UScientology' threads. Those fit into my description pretty much exactly. This one reminded me of those...

Through the years, more than a dozen. Of course, there may have been more; I do not inquire as to a persons religion. These are just the people who volunteered it, or I found out due to the rituals performed.

Scorpion0x17: can detect anyone's visible post count...; +691|6766|Cambridge (UK)

I voted 2-5.

I know at least 1, there's 1 other that I think is, and there are several people I know to say 'hi' to, that I'm pretty sure are, but it's never come up in conversation.

And I live in a part of the UK with a relatively low Muslim population density.

I personally know 20+, they are family friends, their kids went to school with me from middle school through highschool. They're good people, we had dinner gatherings a few times a year.

A few. As normal as normal can be.

Note. Some do keep to themselves, some mix around. Just like everyone else tbh.

The Uscientology was a "kiddie" retaliation to the appeasement BS. I admit that one. This one is a honest question.

Lol, my wife's family lives in Auburn, pretty close to there. It's full of Muslims indeed.
