The goal of these and other protests are to give Muslims an opportunity to convert, [whackadoo Pastor Terry Jones] said.
Yes, of course. Never mind that Muslims already have every "opportunity" to convert and that this little book BBQ won't affect that opportunity in any way, shape or form.
Isn't it really about giving Muslims motivation to convert rather than opportunity? Clearly, nothing will better motivate these monkey-worshiping heathens to join the Dove World Outreach Center than watching existing church members burn multiple copies of Islam's holiest book.
Then again, maybe they should just pile up those Qur'ans in a parking lot and have church members take massive, steaming, noisy dumps on them. That would be a powerful symbol of how Jesus lost control of his bowels while dying on Calvary to save future Muslims from their sins. If that doesn't provide the requisite motivation to convert, I can't imagine what would!
One thing is certain: Pastor Jones' proposal has nothing whatsoever to do with taking advantage of fear, ignorance and hatred for monetary gain. Nothing whatsoever.

Obviously this is a cunning ploy. Once Muslims understand what it's like to watch a sacred object go up in flames, they will stop burning American Flags and convert to Christianity.
Oh you guys talk real big, but honestly, who among us hasn't carried on an extended hate campaign against those who picked the other option in one of those choose your own adventure books?
Whenever I see a copy of this in a thrift store or something, I burn pages 92-103. They're stupid and blasphemous and that shit would never even happen, dumbasses!
Because there is what seems to be a picture of the dead dog on the page (not graphic, just sad), I will summarize: Some lady left her dog in her car for over an hour in about 104F temperatures while she went into Costco to shop for pet supplies. When she came back to the car and found the dog dead, she went back inside to return the pet supplies. She was gone by the time animal control got there, but shortly afterward, someone matching her description relinquished a dead dog to the pound.
I can be inappropriately pragmatic sometimes, so I'd cut the lady a little slack about going inside to return the items, even, if it weren't for the fact that she killed the dog in the first place.
Maybe there's really something seriously wrong with her, and I shouldn't hate her. But I still do anyway.
While we love notsosures mutt, she plans to bring another dog home. I say no. After all who is really taking care of the mutt she currently owns, humm?

I was thinking something more along the lines of a severe developmental disability. For someone to fail to think through such obvious consequences, then seemingly feel no shame about it if not no actual remorse, is so abnormal that I honestly don't think she's fully functional.
It's not just callous, but it's also incredibly clueless, like she honestly had no idea that other people would even think that was wrong.
I'm p good at reconciling hate and pity in the same place, though.
It's not just callous, but it's also incredibly clueless, like she honestly had no idea that other people would even think that was wrong.
It doesn't seem like she killed it on purpose albeit irresponsible and stupid. I find it hard to believe someone could do such a thing and feel no grief or that they deserve to be hated for it. Obviously she cared enough for the dog to buy it care products and probalay intended to love it and squeeze it. what else is she supposed to do with chew toys and a dead carcus?
In a nutshell, this woman was in a bar dancing for some Girls Gone Wild cameras, but had refused to take her top off for them. So someone--by some accounts a member of the GGW staff--reached over and pulled her shirt down.
She didn't file assault charges at the time, but years later, she found out through a friend that they'd put the incident on one of their videos, so she sued.
Not knowing exactly what went on in the trial or the jury room, I can't say what everyone's reasoning was, but the asshole foreperson claims that her actions betrayed her words (which were "No") and gave 'implied consent' that overrode her explicit non-consent.
And this dude and the brown haired woman need to be pantsed on set for lulz and someone else's financial gain:
A former Upper St. Clair High School student who already claimed she had been raped once was raped again on school property after school officials used her as bait in a failed attempt to catch students they believed were having sex in the building, her attorneys claim.
After this poor dog got PTSD from being in Iraq for a year, they're sending her back. Hasn't she been through enough already? Also worthy of scorn are the people who claim it's "demeaning" to troops to diagnose dogs with PTSD.

I think this is worth a couple of minutes of hate. Justin Bieber. No, I'm not going to sit in my chair and hurl silent invectives at the preteen Disney made pop star. He gets enough of that as it is. No, this is at the knuckle dragger who threw a bottle at him. And for Attack of the Show/G4TV for spotlighting it and throwing a little more sloped forehead at it for good measure. Most of the time I'm happy to just go on with my life and hate/mock/laugh at the things Geek Culture tells me to. But at moments like this I have to put on my own mean spirited brakes and say that enough is enough. It's all well and good to dislike Justin Bieber for any reason or for no reason. You can not like him or his music or his cult of personality all you want. You won't get any guff from me about it. But when that dislike of him to the point you feel it's reasonable to lash out and assault his person that steps over a line. What the fuck is wrong with you? I can't even suggest that you were raised by wolves or some other "lower" animal because I think that insults animals. And to you, Kevin Pereira of Attack of the Show (or perhaps more pointedly, the writers for Attack of the Show) a special fuck you for making light of threatening another human being with violence for no good reason. (Most of the time their jokes and skits aim at making fun of stupid people doing stupid things.) There's another dimension to my anger at them because I look forward to laughing at the stupid things they talk about and the silly things they do.
The Bieber Event starts around 4:30 in the linked video.
Justin Bieber isn't Disney created, although he's popular with the Disney crowd. He came from YouTube.
But anyway, I understand not being a huge Bieber fan, but you know, he's significantly better than some of the other crap sold to the tween market (e.g. Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus).
Wasn't he discovered by Usher or somebody? Through YouTube, I mean. That kid's aight. His voice is high and his hair is dumb, but as I'm not in his demographic, it's really none of my business. So I'm with you all on the water bottle hate.
