The guys from the Taliban who blew up the Buddha statues are heroes.

[LoZoccolo]

If you want to sob over a hunk of stone, you deserve whatever grief it caused you.

Kudos to the Taliban for destroying the big lie!

1. I' ve also had one of those kind of mornings.

[cally]

2. I caught the end of a PBS special

and an archaelogist is close to finding a huge lying down (prone) Buddha near where the the other Buddha statues were destroyed. The team thinks they discovered the foot but had to re-bury it until next year. It was older than the destroyed Buddhas. :bounce:

The same special also showed recovered gold artifacts that many thought were lost. So there is still some good news.

[aquart]

3. They destroyed art and history.

It was book burning without words. Kudos? I hope they're dead and they died in agony.

[LoZoccolo]

4. Well I got seven words for you.

Now ya' see it...



...now ya' don't!



Ha ha ha ha!

11. What a riot! Can I play too?

Now you see them,




and now you don't! hee hee !





:rofl:

note this is ... sarcasm too

[aquart]

33. No, dear. It's moronic.

Have a nice day.

[mcscajun]

5. It was a disgrace that they obliterated their own history.

No heroes.

Got the sarcasm. :)

I always thought they should have been stopped somehow right then; don't ask me how.

[LibInternationalist]

6. so you're comparing the Buddhas

to the stain in Chicago? I don't get it

[meegbear]

7. The only people who see them as heroes

are the Dobsons, Falwells nd Robertsons of the world because it's not reflecting their religious views.

History destroyed.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

8. Religious intolerance, pure and simple........

And I always thought one of the tenets of Islam was a non-xenophobic attitude of other faiths. Ugly fundamentalism rears its head.

[ck4829]

12. This Muslim agrees with you 100%

Those Buddha statues were works of art and a sign of dedication and devotion.

That grease stain was just a grease stain.

[KittyWampus]

34. Not To Those Who Saw The Divine Feminine In It. Where Do YOU Get

off dictating to others what's JUST a grease stain.

[ck4829]

36. Before I converted to Islam

I was Catholic, I don't think what that 'miracle' was anything out of the ordinary.

Sorry, but it's just me.

[G_j]

9. never mind

I missed the sarcasm disclaimer.

[Just Me]

10. WTH? *scratches head*

Oh,...*whew*,...sarcasism. You kinda' threw me for a loop there for a minute.:crazy:

[LynnTheDem]

13. Gone just like the once-beautiful Baghdad and all those centuries-old

mosques.

Kudos to bushica for destroying everything in Mesopotamia!

NOTE: This post is also sarcastic, and the poster is very deeply angry and ashamed of bushica.

[beam me up scottie]

14. And another kudos to

bushco for building an army base on Babylonia.

:sarcasm:

[LynnTheDem]

17. Oh geez now how am I supposed to beat THAT one!

Lemme think...

OH! I know!

Kudos to bushco for taking care of the problem of those drained (with help from US-supplied equipment) marshlands bush used as part of his justification for invasion by dropping tonnes of DU everywhere in Iraq.

:sarcasm:

HAH! Top THAT one!

[beam me up scottie]

18. oh boy, that's a tough one...

I'm getting a good rage going now...:mad:

how about...dropping thousands of cluster bombs that look just like mre's so the little children go running around picking them up thinking they've found dinner only to have them explode in their faces?


:sarcasm:

[LynnTheDem]

19. Oh BLAST!!!

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Need a ciggie first, this one's gonna be a bitch to beat. Back in 5.

[LynnTheDem]

21. HAHAHAHAHHAHHA I have a THREE-FER!!!

Amazing what a few hits of nicotine straight to the lungs does for one's brain power.

Kudos to bush for solving the food shortage problem in Iraq by doubling the child malnutrition rate so Iraqi farmers will have to hugely increase their purchases of GM crops from the US as dictated by bushco's "100 Rules" law in order to feed all those sickly children who will need tons of US medicines to combat all the illnesses they'll be susceptable to from being so malnourished.

So take THAT!

:P :P :P

[Just Me]

23. OH! ,...ugh,...now, I need a cig!!!

:blush:

[LynnTheDem]

25. heh heh heh.

:P

[beam me up scottie]

24. AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

I can't, you got me!
UNCLE!
Why oh why did I ever give up smoking...:banghead:

The only trump card I had was that at least the Iraqis can look forward to getting all those menial jobs (like cleaning toilets, doing laundry, cooking and cleaning etc.) for slave wages at our 14 brand spanking new military bases.
And just think of all the mcDonalds restaurants they'll have!
Oh, and walmarts too!

oops, am I back in the running?

[LynnTheDem]

26. Oh YEAH???!

Well choke on THIS one, my little piranha fish!

Kudos to bushco for solving the problems of ethnic tensions in the MidEast AND of Americans having to pay higher state taxes because of US states not getting any funding from NCLB because their schools fail the requirements because schoolchildren are Left Behind due to failing their geography classes by not having a clue where the hell the US states of Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran are on the map, by his invading Afghanistan and Iraq and soon Iran so he can combine all 3 into a single country too big to miss on any map, called Iraniraqistan, and full of Iraniraqistanians.

BWAHAHAHHAHAHA.

[beam me up scottie]

29. DAMN! Smoked the whole pack, didn't you?

Wow, if we expanded to include ALL of the wonderful things they've done in the rest of the world, we could go on for days...

But then I'd have to throw myself off a cliff; and of course I can't do that because they've leveled all of them with their environmentally friendly mountain-top mining operations.

Drat!

It's a shame I can't continue with this charming thread, and the op got us off to such a POSITIVE start.

You win the highly coveted rubber chicken award!

[LynnTheDem]

30. Heh...2 packs. :D

OOOOH!!! I GET THE RUBBER CHICKEN AWARD!!!

MINE!!! MINE!!!

rotfl!

That was fun; if ya can't laugh whilst staring certain and total world annihilation in the face, just when CAN ya laugh, I always say!

:D

[beam me up scottie]

31. Too true.

After the jackals in power get through destroying everything, I don't want to be one the survivors.

Enjoy your chicken, woman, who knows how much time you'll have together.

:evilgrin:

[LynnTheDem]

32. You just stop eyeballing my chicken!!!

MINE!

:D

[LynnTheDem]

28. OMG!!!

He's fainted dead away!!!

MEDIC!!!

MEDIC!!!

hehehehehe...who da woman ya ya *strut*

:D

[Up2Late]

15. I sure hope you're Joking, because I don't find this funny at all...

...if you're not.

This is very similar to Islamists bombing and destroying a major Catholic Cathedral or "The Cristal Cathedral, if destroying a 800 year old Cathedral doesn't bother you.

But an even closer (but non-religious) comparison would be, if someone where to come down here to Georgia and blow the Civil War carving off the side of Stone Mountain.

Or if that still wouldn't bother you, how about if the U.S. Government suddenly decided that the desecration of the "Black Hills", which our Indigenous People, (Indians, if you don't get who I'm talking about) Hills they hold sacred, needed to correct that injustice, by blowing the heads of the 4 U.S. Presidents off the face of Mount Rushmore. That would make a few people happy, but I bet it would piss-off a LOT more people.:grr:

[ComerPerro]

16. We have that Sarcasm Smile now

:sarcasm:

Its great.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

20. Worst. Analogy. Evah. (nt)

[true_notes]

22. Destruction of any religious structure is ghastly, but....

A stain? It's a stain. Rightys in the States these days seem to be thriving to find something to boost Gawd to the top. The Buddhas that were destroyed signified the religion's (Buddhism) strength and overall pacifist stance. What can I say, bad Karma came to the taliban :O.

Om Mani Padme Hum

[HEIL PRESIDENT GOD]

27. Sarcastic or not

Everyone loves Buddhists. Why is that? Institutionalized Buddhism can be just as bad as any other religion. I'd be willing to bet money that an independent Tibetan theocracy would do things to its people every bit as bad as what the Taliban did in Afghanistan. Or what the Chinese are doing in Tibet now, for that matter.

The point is that governments are evil and even more so when they involve God or some idea thereof.

Then again, what do I know? I could no more believe in a deity than I could get off the ground by flapping my arms.

[Jesus Saves]

35. Kinda like how some American soldiers desecrated Native American

lands and holy sites?

Realize now it's sarcasm...
