You might be an Extremist

You might be an Extremist -- Douglas ChickAre you far to the right, or far to the left? After listening to your favorite radio talk show host, are you convinced that the world in doomed? Does your religious organization speak more about your participation in politicians than God? Do you or your friends often speak of how the radical media controls the world? Do these questions anger you?

If you answered yes, you might be an extremist… :-)

I read that the school system in Pakistan is collapsing and this is of great concern. Why, because uneducated people are easily converted into terrorist? Can this also be true in other countries? Can a lack of formal education, verses religious education, move people towards extremist violent acts? In the book The History of Violence, if there were such a book, I think it might read, “…most organized acts of violent are committed by the followers of organized religious.”  

I wonder, how many people I know in my daily life that feel the same passion to commit violence for their beliefs, as the terrorist do?

I'm angered by crappy politicians, lobbyist, a government who can't seem to keep illegals out of our country AND then supports them while blatantly neglecting deserving Americans!!

You can call me a FED-UP-IST!!!!! :+(

Good, your in charges of the massive doses of valium that are going to be needed to sedate our angry mob. I'm sure we can count on MoonOwl for the brownies (that may makes us a little happier about said nightmare) and some koolaide to wash it down...

Good Grief - I'm off to my Fed-UP-IST Therapy!

I'm in. I'll bring a jug of ripple.

Zealots and extremists of all sides are a danger to reason and peace.

Moderation is silenced not by the numbers of the extremists but by the loudness of their shrieks and the depth of their hatred.

YOU MAY BE A TALIBAN IF.......... 1. You refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral objection to beer. 2. You own a $3,000 machine gun and $5,000 rocket launcher, but you can't afford shoes. 3. You have more wives than teeth. 4. You wipe your butt with your bare left hand, but consider bacon "unclean." 5. You think vests come in two styles: bullet-proof and suicide. 6. You can't think of anyone you HAVEN'T declared Jihad against. 7. You consider television dangerous, but routinely carry explosives in your clothing. 8. You were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than setting off roadside bombs. 9. You've ever uttered the phrase, "I love what you've done with your cave." 10. You have nothing against women and think every man should own at least one. 11. You bathe at least monthly whether necessary or not. 12. You've ever had a crush on your neighbor's goat. It seems to me that a lot of these things apply to much more than the Taliban.
