I fully agree with you. I have other "Christians" try to tell me I'm going to hell. They do come in all shapes, sizes, colors, beliefs, etc. My beef wasn't just in the annoyance of the way they went about it NON-STOP, and they were'nt "preaching" their religion as much as condemning everyone who didn't believe what they did, but the way management handled it. I believe I stated it that way before. (checking) Yes, I did. They were encouraged to and I was forbidden to. THAT'S where my frustration lies. It has nothing to do with their religion or practices, rather the way the situaation was handled. I also don't believe I said anything about a mosque being evil. I have no problem with LEGAL immigrants wanting to practice their religion. I DO have a problem with being told that I can't though when I was born and raised here. That sir, is my beef.

At a warehouse I was previously employed at some of my coworkers were Muslim. I'm just fine and dandy with that. They came to the country, got a green card, seeked employment, etc. Essentially, entered the country legally and gained employment legally. Cool. My problem came when they insisted on trying to convert me relentlessly. I never tried to force my views and beliefs on them but it was non-stop. I was even more irritated when we were rushing around trying to meet essential deadlines and they stopped in the middle of the aisles, got down on their knees, and prayed/practiced their religion. I wasn't upset that they were doing it (even though they did so in the middle of the floor and it DID creat a problem for those trying to work around them) but in that the management told me that at any time if I wanted to kneel and pray, as a Christian, I'd have to wait until break and find somewhere else to do it as to not offend them. Ridiculous. PS ~ I don't blame all Muslims, or pro-muslim parties, for this situation. I still keep in contact with a few of them b/c they were really cool guys. Spoke French though. Never understood that. LOL I just can't stand that a DC manager, who was african before coming to the US many years ago, insisted that those from Africa who were Muslim were the only ones allowed to practice their faight without recourse. HE is who I cannot stand. Not the religion or those who practice it. It just sickens me that things like this happen all over the country and lowly dock hands, as I was at the time, can do nothing about it.

Wrestlers don't blow each other up though. When I worked security at the Arena awhile back I worked one of the events. The wrestling was worse up close than on TV but the wrestlers I was able to meet were pretty cool. Booker T. is effin' tall. Those wrestlers are larger than life. They're definitely athletic, no doubt about that. Anyways, UFC FTW.

I'm gonna build a church in Fallujah and have this painted on the side. http://randywelborn.com/rw128.jpg

Reading through this. Sickening. Further proof that they are cowering behind their past and expect us to appologize for putting a stop to their "prowless"? Give me a break. EDIT: Not only are they hiding behind their guilt, they're teaching their kids that what was done was honorable. Total BS.

Fair. Not trying to dog ya. I just think he's a pretty good actor but does what gets him the cash.

Watch "The Office", "40 Year Old Virgin", "Evan Almighty", "Anchorman", "Little Miss Sunshine", then "Dan In Real Life". Or don't since they aren't all the most stellar movies. Whatever. lol I don't think he's Tom Hanks by any means but he's not the worst actor ever. Plus, if someone saw you fit a role once and then you were continually offered millions to be typecast into similar roles you would do it too. Well, I would anyways...

First sentenced summed it up for me. BTW, did I miss But apologizing will not be on his agenda. After all, Japan has never formally apologized for its sneak attack at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, which triggered America's entry into World War II. On the 50th anniversary of what President Franklin D. Roosevelt called "a date that will live in infamy," The New York Times, CBS News, and Tokyo Broadcasting System released a poll showing that 55% of Japanese thought their nation ought to apologize for Pearl Harbor, surprisingly more than the 40% of Americans who agreed. As for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, though, 73% of Japanese believed an apology was due to them. Only 16% of Americans concurred—except when coupled with an apology from Japan for Pearl Harbor, which increased the number to 50%.

Get bent.

Thanks for the insight guys, and thanks for serving.

11B is Army infantry, right? How are you making what a McD's MGR does if you're in combat? Average military salary for an E1 in 2009 was ~$35K and average manager at McDonalds makes ~$35K. if you look salary to salary with no incentive pay, bonuses, or combat pay. Let alone BHA. I'm not in the military myself so I'm not doubting you, just wondering. If you're truly making less than that somethings wrong. Well, something IS wrong with our economy/government, but that's another story.

Awesome way to cure boredom. lol

Sharp. Love that interior man. Good deal too it sounds like.
