      I didn't think that was the point of the article. I read the point of the article as being 'there has been an outcry that the customised Lego figures glorify terrorism'. If you are against the idea that people should enter your culture and tell you how to live, wouldn't you be happy about this - Muslims publicly condemning what a small group do, and defending the people whose culture is being destroyed?

          What context? All I saw was you calling someone names. That doesn't seem to nullify my point, or indeed go anywhere near it; could you explain the link?

              Instead of posting crap on here, go to a pr0n site and play with yourself, it is what you seem best at. Then when you stopped looking at all the naked men, go outside and get a life you sad apology for a human being. You insinuate and insult, you fail to answer any argument that you disagree with because it is beyond you intellectual range. (Mind you, a slightly drugged wombat is beyond your intellectual range). You have been judged and found wanting, and you will prove that you are a complete wanker by 1 voting this! But I am Ilionly Constipated, I don't give a shit!

                Did 1-voting everyone in your Bob Parks thread bring you a modicum of comfort? :laugh: And I know it's impossible for you to resist, but you should stop copying vocabulary from me; like "transparent", etc... I just makes you look like a bigger, unoriginal narcissist than you already are.

                    If I am what you say or not, it does not change that you did exactly what I predicted, proving both that you are all I claim you are, and that to a degree that precludes any sort of reason, intelligence or self control. Are you 8 years old ?

                      You are a moron 1 - they are not lego, they are only similar to lego 2 - the muslims are complaining that they glorify terrorism and that they belittle the suffering of victims. So, in your own way, you've taken a story, and presented a half true account that implies something far different to what the story says. Which makes you no different to most news sources, I guess. Go on, insult me while refusing to discuss the points I raised. Why stop now ?

                      I hate to say anything in favour of the Ill One but he never said it was Lego - he had "Lego" (in quotes) and "Lego-style" (without them). He's still a moron though.

                        Sorry, Christian, but you get no points for predicting this. It required no more forecasting ability than to suggest that water will run down hill whenever possible on earth.

                          Just a moment: who claimed that that figure is a terrorist figure? Maybe it is a patriot, fighting for human rights! WTF! Just don't jump to conclusions before thinking!

                            Well, that was kind of my point :-) That and, he did it even after I predicted it, which either proves he has no other means of communication, or he really is an AI bot somewhere with no other programming to fall back on.

                                I don't justify myself to fools ... or liars. And people to stupid to comprehend the content of the articles I link to can't understand any explanations, anyway.
