Reminds me of the President of Iran's trip to the US recently, where he told people that there are no homosexuals in the Arabic world (same sort of blinkerism and denial that the USSR was doing about AIDS several years back).
They will continue to say - and maybe even believe - crazy stuff like that as long as they're unchallenged. Muslims need to challenge their ideas and themselves. Trouble is, they're happy in their hatred. Look how that educated British Muslim on the TV show was quick to bring in comments about Jews.
I worked with a young Muslim who believed that no Jews were harmed during the World Trade Centre attacks - apparently, they all knew in advance...
What sort of intelligent reasoning can you have with people who are that myopic?
Clams are the official mollusk of Scientology. In fact, Ming the Merciless could be seen as a variant of Xenu, the mysterious evil overlord of Scientology secret lore.
Name-calling. I love the naive comparison with medical care, simply because Canada is struggling with that whole concept.
Universal health care is available, but there are waiting lines. If someone wealthy wants to jump the waiting line and get service right away from a private doctor, they have to go out of country. Some people would like to set up private health care in Canada, but others say it would be the end of public health care, since more doctors would go into the private system. The result would also be a 2-tier health care system: 1) those who can afford it, pay and live; 2) those who can't afford it, wait and possibly die.
The question here is: is anybody suffering because these people can afford to hire private firefighters?
Certainly all firefighters are making money no matter which houses they save, but should private firefighters be hired to protect certain houses and let others burn during a state of emergency?
Flies in the face of humanitarianism, but that's what capitalism is all about.
I liked the stats about "Sweetest Day", and how hardly anybody knows its true origins. Is that a stat holiday in Cleveland?
I thought this one was a funny adaptation - David is such an overblown cliché.
The rest of the site gave me chills. It's one thing to be comfortable with your body image - it's another to glorify gross obesity.

I sense a conspiracy here.
The last joke was inevitable.
Her mask reminded me of the original Planet of the Apes.
Actually, I was just expecting more than that. It was very brief. Maybe it's just too old a joke for me.

Did he like mazes, too?
Yeah, a little funny maybe, but Awesome?
I'm sure all the straight male flight attendants are rolling their eyes about this - they do exist, don't they?
At the end, you ask yourself, "That was it?"
