I originally wrote some words to go with these two pictures. Really they don't need explained, other than to say one is taken inside a mosque, and one near a battlefield.

They were correct when they told me that hard work would never kill me. Yet, they didn't tell me how to get my health back after I could no longer work hard and had to retire.

A little elitist if you ask me. But made me think. Our wealth is our people
Well said WL...
AubreyJ.........
Amen!
WOW! It is this sort of thinking that creates sucide bombers in the first place WL! It is one thing to be patriotic, or even to follow your government blindly, but to pass blanket judgement on an entire religion is dangerous thought process.
Consider the fact that America is great- yes because of the people here- but also because of our hard-won freedoms, one of which is the freedom of religion.
SB ... I said what I said, and I meant what I said -- but it wasn't hate. There isn't much that I hate, expect stupidity. You haven't fallen that far. I look at the revised post now, and the two pictures without the previous commentary, is a lot more effective. The pictures says it a lot better than your words did. The first picture needs to be dealt with, and dealt with harshly and effectively. No sane person would argue that point. But not all Muslims are in that first picture.
Read "Islam" by Karen Armstrong. Hell, read anything even remotely academic about Islam. Meet a few muslims. It's obvious you haven't done that.
So glad to know that you are all knowing, bowman.
How could you know what I read. Only hours ago I read a chapter from "The History of Medieval Europe"
by Lynn Thorndike, of Columbia University. I read Chapter 9, pgs 155-169. Guess what it was about, all knowing one? I don't need your suggestions as to what to read or how to think.
And any critque you have of me, is a blind critque, without any knowledge of who I am or anything other than what I write.
You can critque my writing, but lay off of the personal attacks. You don't have a clue about me. I may have more muslim friends than you.
I is obvious that you haven't a clue about the obvious.
no wonder you are just a truck driver.
Just a truck driver. How interesting anonymous, that you have the audacity to dismiss someone so out of hand for being a truck driver and say nothing else. What great courage and wisdom you showed.
For all we know, you could be the guy at the circus that cleans up after the elephants, but you can wander by and take a cheap shot. I'm not the Web Loafer and I'm not a truck driver, but I'll tell you son, I'd rather be a truck driver than be the type of person you are.
I'm a mechanic, Anonymous. Been one all my life. Do you look down on Mechanics too?
The measure of a man, son, is not quantified by his occupation or his liquidity. Wisdom does not belong only to to those blessed with greater material bounty or higher station.
If you disagree with someone's conclusions, that's one thing. There is nothing wrong or dishonorable in honest debate. To dismiss his argument soley based upon his occupation shows you have no class and a distinct lack of maturity.
Pay attention boy, you might learn a little from us lowly blue collar types if you open your eyes and mind.
VW
Anon; Truck Driving is what I want to do.
It is a demanding, hard and dangerous job. I love it.
I would rather sit down to eat at a table with truck drivers, than with Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy and Howard Dean. No! Not even if it was at a fancy restaurant and Nancy and friends picked up the tab.
They are successful people. They would look down on me, as you may.
But I learned long ago not many successful people are fun to be around.
One last thing anonymous, take a look around at your surroundings and tell me "What percentage of all you see, was not transported on a truck to where you bought it.
I love driving truck, and they pay me to do it.
Loafer, I drove a truck also ( 18 yrs)OTR. I loved it. It was a passion with me for many years. And yes, I too got paid too,( pretty well I might add).
It`s too bad everybody cannot enjoy what they do as I did.
It is a pity ''some'' are stuck in a dead end job that they hate, and spend their spare time on the internet writing anonymous ramblings that they are ashamed to sign their name to.
These comments are an education in bigotry! Goodness gracious! lol
Annonymously intolerant of the profession that moves America! How brave and what a snob.
Elitism at it's most obvious.
Web-Loafer. Great msg - I linked to it.
I think some don't want to see our enemy because they are so afraid. Like andy dabydeen, sounds like he's just scared, there's so many of them. Then on the other had he mentions what 'they' say. Who's 'they'? Are you lumping them all into one group Andy?
If we don't watch our backs, there'll be even more of them and a whole lot fewer of us.
Keep fighting the good fight web loafer. There's more of us Middle Americans, then the far right has a clue about.
They think we are stupid and ignorant. That's okay. They are such elitists and so arrogant that they have grossly underestimated us.
They are so caught up in their own opinions of themselves they don't have a clue what most of America is really about.
Most of us get it.
Shhh Beth,
No:
On second thought speak up.
America is not great because of the scared, wimpy or stupid.
Glad Tidings,
I must not be whimpy,
'cuz
I can't even spell it right all of the time. Why only 4 minutes ago I typed it as wimpy!
bowman.....
I'm ignorant about islam? No I keep score.
HERE IS THE SCORECARD
Do you happen to know where I could find the scorecard of all of the humans the Baptist Church has killed in the last 3 years? I seem to have misplaced it, or may never have seen it, My My, I am getting old and senile, maybe you're right.
P.S. America lost its greatness when it "elected" a wazzock like Bush, - whose not even allowed to go to the toilet with the permission of his Secretary of State.
Mark, I appreciate your comments left here, they are a perfect example of the intellectual depravity of liberalism. Thanks again. Your shallowness is wide, but don't overdo it, there is just so much stupidity a normal person can stomach in one day.
Perhaps you should not leave two of your classic comments in a row...it has everything to do with...
Your stupidity is boring.
First of all, I am a retired truck driver. The best damn life one could have. Now when it comes to Islam, I don't think we are seperating the radicals from the true religion of Islam. Iran for example is still an Islamic State where as Syria has a seperation of their government and religion. Islam is a peaceful religion like Christianity. They have spoken out but the media does not give them front page coverage like they do to the terroists. After talking with many Muslims and deciding to find out more, I have discovered that they have basically the same belives as us Christians. They pray to the same God and follow the same laws that God gave us. Read the bible and the Quran they say about the same way. Yes you can find bad in the Quran but also you can find the same in the bible. Despite what our governments do, we as people can make this a better world. Isn't it time we open up our minds and try to understand ourselves and others a little more. It seems to many believe that the media is the gospel truth. The media is far from the truth. They print or say what will sell and make them a profit. Anyway this is just my opinion.
