Just think of him as the lairy drunk who keeps putting Danny Boy on the jukebox all evening. Best thing to do is let him be.

Leave it open and it will sink, unloved, to the bottom of the page before dying a lonely death in a flat full of unwashed dishes, pizza boxes and cats.

Defence or attack, it was 1400 years ago. Should we think the same about italian since there were Romans 2000 years ago?
Pretty scared by the few messages I read here about Islam  | | | | | No because modern day Italians are terrible soldiers  |

As politicians proclaiming Islam as a religion of peace, Muslims take up the sword of Jihad, its no wonder we don't understand each other. Duplicity and willful ignorance.
If religion is the opium of the people, political memes are the general anaesthesia.
requeue Danny Boy

requeue Danny Boy | | | | | About " History and the Quran clearly spell out conquest as the method for taking over the world." Ahh, Putin is Muslim!
This somehow reminds me of a true story of an Irish friend who visited Tokyo some 20 years ago. If you were ever there at that time the whole town was furnished with unreadable Japanese signs.
My Irish friend had dinner in his hotel and then went out looking for action, but he could not read the signs 
Eventually he heard music from a doorway, went in and it was a cellar bar. It was also a karoake bar and by some sign language they indicated he was supposed to sing the next track of some incomprehensible Japanese song.
He protested I am Irish so (astoundingly they understood) they played Danny boy.
So there he was in the middle of Tokyo in a Japanese cellar full of Japanese singing Danny boy.
You may well ask what this has to do with this thread topic; I was wondering the same   | | The following 4 users would like to thank marton for this useful post: | |
